2 Earth

The Statement of the first hexagram

Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.

The changing lines

The first line:
Treading on frost-
solid ice will soon arrive.
The third line:
Hide your talents, but stay steadfast
if you would be of royal service.
The fourth line:
A tied sack:
neither blame nor praise.
The fifth line:
Yellow garments.
Great fortune.
The sixth line:
Dragons fight in the wild:
their blood is dark and yellow.

13 Kindred

The Statement of the second hexagram

The kindred in the wilderness.
Continue.
Advance across the great river.
Gain by a wise one's purity.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire rises into heaven:
kindred. The noble one
groups and sorts
all that must be done.
