6 Dispute

The Statement of the first hexagram

Dispute: keep confident

even if blocked and alarmed.

In the middle, good fortune,

but in the end, misfortune.

Gain by seeing a great person.

Do not advance across the great river.

The changing lines

The second line:
Unable to win the dispute. Return,

and so flee his realm

of three hundred households.

No blunders.
The third line:
Surviving on old favors: a perilous sign.

In the end: fortune.

One may undertake royal service,

but without personal success.

33 Withdrawal

The Statement of the second hexagram

Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Heaven and water clash:
dispute. The noble one
devises the right beginning
in all matters.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
