28 Great Excess

The Statement of the first hexagram

The ridgepole sags.

Gain by having a place to go.

Continue.

The changing lines

The first line:
A cushion of white grass.

No fault.
The fourth line:
An ample beam. Fortunate,

unless there has been stinting.
The fifth line:
Withered wood blooms with flowers.

An old woman takes a husband.

Neither fault nor praise.
The sixth line:
Fording, wading, head submerged.

Misfortune, but without fault.

26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the second hexagram

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

The Image of the first hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
 
 

The Image of the second 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.
