17 Following

The Statement of the first hexagram

Following
what is great, smooth,
gainful, and pure.
No fault.

The changing lines

The first line:
The standards of excellence are altered.
Pure fortune. Go out of the gate
to meet others and there will be merit.
The fourth line:
Follow and there will be capture-but this is a sign
of misfortune. Put your confidence in the Way
and you will understand.
Then, how can there be fault?

8 Joining

The Statement of the second hexagram

Joining brings fortune.
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault.
Those who are not sure
will join the plan.
Those who are late
will meet misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder over the middle
of the lake: following.
The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
