59 Spreading

The Statement of the first hexagram

Spreading.

The king draws near to the temple.

Advance across the great river.

Gainful purity.

The changing lines

The first line:
By the saving strength of a horse.

Fortune.
The second line:
Spreading and going directly toward

his platform. Regrets vanish.
The third line:
Spreading his twisting body.

No regrets.
The fifth line:
Spreading sweat: his great command.

Expanding royal dwellings. No fault.

22 Adornment

The Statement of the second hexagram

Adornment. Continue.
Slight gain in having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind moving above water:
spreading.
The ancient kings made
sacrificial offerings to God
and established temples.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire at the foot
of a mountain: adornment.
The noble one thereby
governs with clarity, and
does not dare
to decide lawsuits lightly.
