6 Dispute

The Statement of the second hexagram

Dispute: keep confident

even if blocked and alarmed.

In the middle, good fortune,

but in the end, misfortune.

Gain by seeing a great person.

Do not advance across the great river.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wood on the mountain:
gradually.
The noble one dwells
in high moral character
and reforms
popular customs.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven and water clash:
dispute. The noble one
devises the right beginning
in all matters.
