why was ssamd?
and received a response of:
35 Advancing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Marquis Kang receives gifts
of many breeding horses,
welcoming them three times
in one day.
The changing lines
The second line:
Advancing with worry.
Uprightness brings fortune.
Receive now the great blessings
of your grandmother.
The sixth line:
Advancing with their horns.
Secure by exerting: attack the town.
Harsh fortune. No fault,
but persistence brings sorrow.
40 Releasing
The Statement of the second hexagram
Gain in the west and south.
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune.
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder and rain act:
releasing.
The noble one
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
