22 Adornment

The Statement of the first hexagram

Adornment. Continue.
Slight gain in having a place to go.

The changing lines

The first line:
Alighting from the carriage
with adorned feet to walk.
The second line:
Adorning is his beard.
The fourth line:
As beautiful as a white-feathered horse.
It is not a raider who woos.
The fifth line:
Light adorns hillside gardens:
A betrothal bundle
may be small and meager,
but in the end, fortune.
The sixth line:
Plain adornment
is without fault.

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

Fire at the foot
of a mountain: adornment.
The noble one thereby
governs with clarity, and
does not dare
to decide lawsuits lightly.
 
 

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.
