62 Small Crossing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.

Small matters can be done,

but not large matters.

Flying birds leave their sound:

it is unsuitable to go high-

the suitable is below.

Great fortune.

The changing lines

The third line:
Do not cross. Be on guard.

Attend to this, or there may be killing.

Misfortune.
The sixth line:
Not meeting is excessive.

Flying birds separate: misfortune.

This is called calamity and blundering.

35 Advancing

The Statement of the second hexagram

Marquis Kang receives gifts

of many breeding horses,

welcoming them three times

in one day.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.
The noble one acts with
more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
