59 Spreading

The Statement of the first hexagram

Spreading.

The king draws near to the temple.

Advance across the great river.

Gainful purity.

The changing lines

The second line:
Spreading and going directly toward

his platform. Regrets vanish.
The fourth line:
Spreading his flock. Great fortune.

Expanding and there are mounds.

No common person can understand this.
The fifth line:
Spreading sweat: his great command.

Expanding royal dwellings. No fault.
The sixth line:
Spreading his blood.

Go far away. No fault.

16 Delight

The Statement of the second hexagram

What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind moving above water:
spreading.
The ancient kings made
sacrificial offerings to God
and established temples.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
