20 Beholding

The Statement of the first hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.

The changing lines

The first line:
Childish beholding is not wrong

for a common person, but it is wrong

for a superior person.
The fifth line:
Beholding my life:

the wise person rids herself of faults.

27 Nourishing

The Statement of the second hexagram

Nourishing. Pure fortune.

Watch the jaws

and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
