The Statement of the first hexagram

Following
what is great, smooth,
gainful, and pure.
No fault.

The changing lines

The second line:
Binding to the child
loses the man.
The third line:
Binding to the man
loses the child. Follow
and seeking will bring achievement.
Gain by dwelling stoutly.
The fourth line:
Follow and there will be capture-but this is a sign
of misfortune. Put your confidence in the Way
and you will understand.
Then, how can there be fault?
The sixth line:
Adhering and binding
to make following hold fast.
The king makes offering
on West Mountain.
