24 Returning

The Statement of the first hexagram

Returning. Continue.
In coming and going,
there is neither sickness nor distress.
Companions come without fault.
Returning is its Tao.
In seven days, returning comes.
Gain by having a place to go.

The changing lines

The third line:
Urgent returning, harsh danger.
No fault.
The fifth line:
Honest returning:
no fault.
The sixth line:
Chaotic return: misfortune, disastrous blunder!
Move your army, and you end in great defeat.
Misfortune to nation and prince!
Even in ten years you will not conquer.

37 Family

The Statement of the second hexagram

A family benefits
from the women's 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.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind emerges from fire:
family.
The noble one has
substance in speech and
constancy in action.
