50 Cauldron

The Statement of the first hexagram

Cauldron.
Great fortune.
Continue.

The changing lines

The third line:
A cauldron's handles removed:
it cannot be moved.
Cooked pheasant uneaten.
Rain now-in the end, fortune.
The fourth line:
A cauldron's feet break.
The duke's sacrificial food pours out.
His person is stained. Misfortune.

4 Youth

The Statement of the second hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire on top of wood:
cauldron.
The noble one takes the
principal seat
to solidify his commands.
Could you stoke
the cauldron that feeds
all people?
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
