    8 Joining
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Joining brings fortune. 
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault. 
Those who are not sure 
will join the plan.
Those who are late 
will meet misfortune.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The second line:
    Joining from within our own people. 
Pure fortune.  
  
    The fourth line:
    Joining with those outside. 
Pure fortune.  
  
    The fifth line:
    Glorious joining. The king uses three beaters 
to flush the birds before him, 
but citizens need no such coercion. Fortune.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    40 Releasing
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Gain in the west and south. 
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune. 
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Water pooled 
on the earth: joining. 
The early kings founded 
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Thunder and rain act:
releasing. 
The noble one 
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
