34 Great Vigor

The Statement of the first hexagram

Great vigor, gainful purity.

The changing lines

The first line:
Vigor in the toes:

advancing brings certain misfortune.

Uprightness brings fortune.
The second line:
Persist.

Fortune.
The third line:
The inferior exert strength, the superior

exert not. Persist in harsh times.

A ram butts a hedge, entangling his horns.
The sixth line:
A ram butts the hedge and cannot pull out

or escape. No place is gainful.

First difficulty, then fortune.

The Statement of the second hexagram

Marquis Kang receives gifts

of many breeding horses,

Thunder in heaven above:
great vigor. The noble one
is never without reverence
and does not fail
in conduct.

The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
