55 Plentiful

The Statement of the first hexagram

Plentiful. Progress.

The great king arrives. Do not grieve.

All is right as the midday sun.

The changing lines

The first line:
Meeting one's suitable lord.

In spite of sameness, no fault.

Going has honor.
The third line:
Plentiful flow.

Seeing darkness at noon.

Breaking one's right forearm. No fault.
The fourth line:
Plentiful screens.

Seeing the northern stars at noon.

Meeting one's great lord. Fortune.
The fifth line:
Receiving the seal.

There are congratulations and praise.

Fortune.
The sixth line:
Plentiful activity in one's house, screened

is one's household. Peering through

one's door: quiet with no people near.

For three years no one visits. Misfortune.

20 Beholding

The Statement of the second hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and lightning
come fully: plentiful.
The wise one decides
lawsuits and applies
punishments.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

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