4 Youth

The Statement of the first hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.

The changing lines

The second line:
To have the joy of holding your own child,

take a wife. It will lead to fortune:

your children will lead the family.
The fifth line:
An innocent and naive youth:

fortunate.
The sixth line:
Nothing is gained by beating a youth.

That is the way to treat raiders.

We gain by preventing misdeeds.

8 Joining

The Statement of the second hexagram

Joining brings fortune.
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault.
Those who are not sure
will join the plan.
Those who are late
will meet misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
