34 Great Vigor

The Statement of the second hexagram

Great vigor, gainful purity.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.
Traveling merchants
did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.

Thunder in heaven above:
great vigor. The noble one
is never without reverence
and does not fail
in conduct.
