59 Spreading

The Statement of the first hexagram

Spreading.

The king draws near to the temple.

Advance across the great river.

Gainful purity.

The changing lines

The fifth line:
Spreading sweat: his great command.

Expanding royal dwellings. No fault.

4 Youth

The Statement of the second hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind moving above water:
spreading.
The ancient kings made
sacrificial offerings to God
and established temples.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
