35 Advancing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Marquis Kang receives gifts

of many breeding horses,

welcoming them three times

in one day.

The changing lines

The first line:
Advancing halted.

Uprightness brings fortune, but no trust.

Be generous to be without fault.
The third line:
A loyal crowd.

Regret vanishes.
The fourth line:
Advancing like rodents.

Pure harshness.
The fifth line:
Regrets vanish. Loss and gain

are no longer concerns. Going forward

is fortunate: nothing but gain.

her own virtue.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

family.
The noble one has
substance in speech and
constancy in action.
