50 Cauldron

The Statement of the first hexagram

Cauldron.
Great fortune.
Continue.

The changing lines

The first line:
A cauldron overturned:
gain by expelling what is bad.
Take a concubine to have children.
The second line:
No fault.
A cauldron is full. My enemies are ill
and cannot approach me: fortune.
The third line:
A cauldron's handles removed:
it cannot be moved.
Cooked pheasant uneaten.
Rain now-in the end, fortune.
The fifth line:
A cauldron with yellow handles
and a golden carrier. Gainful virtue.

25 Innocence

The Statement of the second hexagram

Innocence: from the first, all must be

pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Those without such truth suffer calamity

and do not gain no matter where they go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire on top of wood:
cauldron.
The noble one takes the
principal seat
to solidify his commands.
Could you stoke
the cauldron that feeds
all people?
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder moves
under heaven: all the world
is innocent. The ancient
kings paid close attention
to the time
in nourishing
the myriad things.
