49 Reform

The Statement of the first hexagram

Reform: on one's own day,

confidence is won-

making, pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Regrets vanish.

The changing lines

The first line:
Bound using yellow ox hide.
The second line:
By day's end, there is reform.

Going is fortunate and without fault.
The third line:
Going is unfortunate. Pure harshness.

Reform is declared three times

before there is confidence.
The fourth line:
Regrets vanish. Have confidence,

alter the commands. Fortune.
The sixth line:
The noble one changes like a panther.

The small person changes his expression.

Going is unfortunate,

staying is pure fortune.

59 Spreading

The Statement of the second hexagram

Spreading.

The king draws near to the temple.

Advance across the great river.

Gainful purity.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire in the middle of the
lake: reform. The noble one
orders the calendar
by the seasons.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind moving above water:
spreading.
The ancient kings made
sacrificial offerings to God
and established temples.
