6 Dispute

The Statement of the first hexagram

Dispute: keep confident

even if blocked and alarmed.

In the middle, good fortune,

but in the end, misfortune.

Gain by seeing a great person.

Do not advance across the great river.

The changing lines

The second line:
Unable to win the dispute. Return,

and so flee his realm

of three hundred households.

No blunders.
The sixth line:
One may be awarded a belt of high rank,

but by morning's end,

it will have been stripped away three times.

45 Collecting

The Statement of the second hexagram

The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Heaven and water clash:
dispute. The noble one
devises the right beginning
in all matters.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
