28 Great Excess

The Statement of the first hexagram

The ridgepole sags.

Gain by having a place to go.

Continue.

The changing lines

The second line:
A withered trunk bursts with fresh vetch.

An old man takes a wife. Nothing but gain.
The third line:
A weak beam.

Misfortune.
The fourth line:
An ample beam. Fortunate,

unless there has been stinting.
The sixth line:
Fording, wading, head submerged.

Misfortune, but without fault.

20 Beholding

The Statement of the second hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
