23 Splitting

The Statement of the first hexagram

Splitting; no gain

in having a place to go.

The changing lines

The first line:
The bed's feet split:

If you disregard the signs: misfortune.
The second line:
The bed's side splits apart:

If you disregard the signs: misfortune.
The third line:
This splitting is without fault.
The fifth line:
The court ladies and concubines

are like fish tethered to a line:

nothing but gain.
The sixth line:
Great fruits are not eaten.

The noble one gets a sedan chair.

The vile ones splinter their huts.

5 Waiting

The Statement of the second hexagram

Waiting. Stay confident:

there is light everywhere.

Pure fortune.

Advance across the great river.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The mountain resting on
the earth: splitting.
When the high
are generous
to those below,
all dwell in peace.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Clouds rising to heaven:
waiting. The noble one
drinks, eats,
and feasts with joy.
