20 Beholding

The Statement of the first hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.

The changing lines

The first line:
Childish beholding is not wrong

for a common person, but it is wrong

for a superior person.
The sixth line:
In beholding others' lives

the wise person allows no faults.

3 Sprouting

The Statement of the second hexagram

Sprouting begins everywhere,
abundant and pure.
No need to go far:
gain by naming allies.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Clouds and thunder: sprouting. The noble one
considers the principles.
