9 Smallness Tames

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.

The changing lines

The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The third line:
Carriage spokes halted.
Husband and wife quarrel.
The fourth line:
Have confidence. Bloodletting is past,
alarm has gone. No fault.
The fifth line:
Have confidence. Entwine
with your neighbor for wealth.

64 Not Yet Across

The Statement of the second hexagram

Not yet across. Continue.

The young fox, nearly across,

soaks its tail.

No place is gainful.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire on top of water:
not yet across. The wise
one distinguishes things
carefully, and puts them
in their places.
