7 Armies

The Statement of the first hexagram

Armies must be steadfast.
With a great leader
they will find fortune.
They must remain without fault.

The changing lines

Armies must march with rules.
Otherwise, whether gain or loss,
there will be misfortune.
The second line:
In the middle of armies: fortune.
Be without fault.
The king confers command three times.
The third line:
The armies might cart corpses:
misfortune.

36 Smothered Light

The Statement of the second hexagram

Smothered light.

Gain is difficult: persist.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The earth's center
is filled with water.
The noble one supports
the people and cares for
everyone.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
