9 Smallness Tames

The Statement of the second hexagram

Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind below the mountain:
poison. The noble one
stirs the people
and nourishes virtue.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
