2 Earth

The Statement of the first hexagram

Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.

The changing lines

The second line:
Straight, square, great-
this leads to spontaneous
and undoubted gain.
The third line:
Hide your talents, but stay steadfast
if you would be of royal service.
The sixth line:
Dragons fight in the wild:
their blood is dark and yellow.

Poison brings the great continuing.
Advance across the great river.

The Image of the first hexagram

Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind below the mountain:
poison. The noble one
stirs the people
and nourishes virtue.
