11 Prospering

The Statement of the first hexagram

Prospering: the vile goes,

the great comes.

Fortune. Continue.

The changing lines

The second line:
Encompass the wasteland by crossing the river

without a boat, but do not advance so far

that you abandon comrades to perish.

Win honor by a middle course.
The fifth line:
Emperor Yi gives his daughter in marriage.

Blessing and fortune.
The sixth line:
City walls fall into a dry moat.

Do not use armies.

Report to your own capital.

Make commands: remorse.
