55 Plentiful

The Statement of the second hexagram

Plentiful. Progress.

The great king arrives. Do not grieve.

All is right as the midday sun.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.
Traveling merchants
did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.

Thunder and lightning
come fully: plentiful.
The wise one decides
lawsuits and applies
punishments.
