23 Splitting

The Statement of the first hexagram

Splitting; no gain

in having a place to go.

The changing lines

The second line:
The bed's side splits apart:

If you disregard the signs: misfortune.
The third line:
This splitting is without fault.
The fourth line:
The bed's surface splits into pieces:

misfortune.
The fifth line:
The court ladies and concubines

are like fish tethered to a line:

nothing but gain.

44 Copulating

The Statement of the second hexagram

Copulating: the woman is powerful.

the earth: splitting.
When the high

to those below,
all dwell in peace.

copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
