44 Copulating

The Statement of the first hexagram

Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.

The changing lines

The first line:
Checked by a metal brake: pure fortune.
There's a place to go, but misfortune
will be seen. A weak pig will surely falter.
The fifth line:
Like a gourd surrounded by willows,
and held in place,
there comes a falling from heaven.
The sixth line:
Copulating with a horn. Remorse.
No fault.

34 Great Vigor

The Statement of the second hexagram

Great vigor, gainful purity.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

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