53 Gradually

The Statement of the first hexagram

A woman marries: fortune.
Gainful purity.

The changing lines

The third line:
Wild swans gradually reach the shore.
A man journeys but does not return. A wife,
pregnant; does not give birth. Misfortune.
Gain by guarding against raiders.
The fourth line:
Wild swans gradually reach the wood.
Some find branches. No fault.
The fifth line:
Wild swans gradually reach the hill.
Three years: a wife cannot conceive.
At the end of twilight: success. Fortune.
The sixth line:
Wild swans gradually reach a plateau.
Their feathers can be used for the rites.
Fortune.

16 Delight

The Statement of the second hexagram

What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wood on the mountain:
gradually.
The noble one dwells
in high moral character
and reforms
popular customs.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
