Middle Ages as in Western?
and received a response of:
13 Kindred
The Statement of the first hexagram
The kindred in the wilderness.
Continue.
Advance across the great river.
Gain by a wise one's purity.
The changing lines
The first line:
The kindred at the gate.
No fault.
The third line:
Armed and lying in ambush
under the thicket. Looming above
is their high mound.
For three years, there is no rising.
The fourth line:
Mounting their ramparts.
Unable to conquer.
Fortune.
The fifth line:
The kindred first wail and yet later laugh:
great armies are able to meet.
23 Splitting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Splitting; no gain
in having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire rises into heaven:
kindred. The noble one
groups and sorts
all that must be done.
The Image of the second hexagram
The mountain resting on
the earth: splitting.
When the high
are generous
to those below,
all dwell in peace.
