26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the first hexagram

Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.

The changing lines

The first line:
There is harsh danger.
Gain ends.
The third line:
A good horse chases, but gain is difficult.
Be upright. Prepare the chariots daily
and be on guard.
Gain by having a place to go.

4 Youth

The Statement of the second 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 Image of the first hexagram

Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

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