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 second line:
Pulled to return.
Fortune.
The fifth line:
Have confidence. Entwine
with your neighbor for wealth.

52 Stilling

The Statement of the second hexagram

One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.
 
 

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

Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
