Crowing delight.
Misfortune.

Through delight, the great attains.
Do not doubt it! Friends gather
like hair in a clasp.
The fifth line:
Firm illness persists,
but there is no death.
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
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
The Image of the second hexagram
Clouds and thunder: sprouting. The noble one
considers the principles.
