    32 Constancy
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Constancy is to continue
without fault. 
Gain through purity.
Gain by having a place to go.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The fifth line:
    Constant in virtue. 
Like a woman: fortune. 
Like a man: misfortune.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    28 Great Excess
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   The ridgepole sags. 
Gain by having a place to go. 
Continue.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Thunder and wind: 
constancy. 
The noble one stands
without changing direction.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    The lake overwhelms 
the trees: great excess. 
The noble one stands alone 
without fear, 
and can withdraw 
from the world 
without sorrow.
