The Statement of the first hexagram

Following
what is great, smooth,
gainful, and pure.
No fault.

The changing lines

The first line:
The standards of excellence are altered.
Pure fortune. Go out of the gate
to meet others and there will be merit.
The second line:
Binding to the child
loses the man.
The third line:
Binding to the man
loses the child. Follow
and seeking will bring achievement.
Gain by dwelling stoutly.
The fourth line:
Follow and there will be capture-but this is a sign
of misfortune. Put your confidence in the Way
and you will understand.
Then, how can there be fault?

48 Well

The Statement of the second hexagram

Well. A city may change,

but the well does not.

It does not lose, it does not gain.

In spite of all who come and go from a well,

it remains a well.

But if the rope cannot reach,

or if the well's vase is upended:_

misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder over the middle
of the lake: following.
The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wood above water: well.
The noble one encourages
the people and lends them
assistance.
