Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

why did the photo come down?
and received a response of:
52 Stilling
The Statement of the first hexagram
One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.
The changing lines
The first line:
Stilling one's feet. No fault.
Gain through everlasting virtue.
The third line:
Stilling one's waist.
Splitting the muscles of the back.
Cruelty smokes one's heart.
The fourth line:
Stilling his trunk.
No fault.
The sixth line:
Deep and honest stillness.
Fortunate.
51 Thunder
The Statement of the second hexagram
Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.
The Image of the first hexagram
Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
The Image of the second hexagram
Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
