48 Well

The Statement of the first hexagram

Well. A city may change,

but the well does not.

It does not lose, it does not gain.

In spite of all who come and go from a well,

it remains a well.

But if the rope cannot reach,

or if the well's vase is upended:_

misfortune.

The changing lines

The sixth line:
The well collects fully. Do not cover it.

Have confidence: great fortune.

the people and lends them
assistance.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind following wind:
wind. The noble one gives
further instructions
and takes action.
