3 Sprouting

The Statement of the first hexagram

Sprouting begins everywhere,
abundant and pure.
No need to go far:
gain by naming allies.

The changing lines

The first line:
A boulder and a willow.
It is gainful to dwell staunchly here.
Gain by naming allies.
The second line:
How like the difficulty of sprouting!
Rushing like a team of horses: it is not a raider
who woos, yet the chaste girl refuses.
She waits ten years for betrothal.
The sixth line:
Riding a team of horses:
Sobbing and weeping blood.

Spreading.

The king draws near to the temple.

Advance across the great river.

Gainful purity.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Clouds and thunder: sprouting. The noble one
considers the principles.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

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