62 Small Crossing

The Statement of the second hexagram

Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.

Small matters can be done,

but not large matters.

Flying birds leave their sound:

the suitable is below.

Great fortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.

more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.
