56 Traveler

The Statement of the first hexagram

Traveler. Slight progress.
Be steadfast in travel: fortune.

The changing lines

The second line:
A traveler promptly stops for lodging,
holding his wealth, getting servants.
Virtuous.
The fifth line:
Shooting pheasants. One arrow vanishes.
In the end, there is honor and authority.
The sixth line:
A bird sets fire to its nest. A traveler
first laughs, afterward howls and weeps.
Loses an ox in barter. Misfortune.

28 Great Excess

The Statement of the second hexagram

The ridgepole sags.

Gain by having a place to go.

Continue.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire on the mountain:
traveler. The noble one is
clear-minded and cautious
in meting out punishment
and yet does not delay trial.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
