34 Great Vigor

The Statement of the first hexagram

Great vigor, gainful purity.

The changing lines

The first line:
Vigor in the toes:

advancing brings certain misfortune.

Uprightness brings fortune.
The third line:
The inferior exert strength, the superior

exert not. Persist in harsh times.

A ram butts a hedge, entangling his horns.
The fourth line:
Pure fortune. Regrets vanish.

The hedge breaks: entanglement is gone.

Strong as a great car's axle blocks.
The sixth line:
A ram butts the hedge and cannot pull out

or escape. No place is gainful.

First difficulty, then fortune.

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

Thunder in heaven above:
great vigor. The noble one
is never without reverence
and does not fail
in conduct.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

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