35 Advancing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Marquis Kang receives gifts

of many breeding horses,

welcoming them three times

in one day.

The changing lines

The first line:
Advancing halted.

Uprightness brings fortune, but no trust.

Be generous to be without fault.
The third line:
A loyal crowd.

Regret vanishes.
The fourth line:
Advancing like rodents.

Pure harshness.
The sixth line:
Advancing with their horns.

Secure by exerting: attack the town.

Harsh fortune. No fault,

but persistence brings sorrow.

36 Smothered Light

The Statement of the second hexagram

Smothered light.

Gain is difficult: persist.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
