4 Youth

The Statement of the first 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 changing lines

The second line:
To have the joy of holding your own child,

take a wife. It will lead to fortune:

your children will lead the family.
The fourth line:
A distressed and naive youth:

sorrow.

35 Advancing

The Statement of the second hexagram

Marquis Kang receives gifts

of many breeding horses,

welcoming them three times

in one day.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

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

The Image of the second hexagram

Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
