Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.

Upright like a rock in character.
In less than a day
one shows that purity.
Fortune.

Do not doubt it! Friends gather

7 Armies

The Statement of the second hexagram

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

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

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