The Statement of the first hexagram
Following
what is great, smooth,
gainful, and pure.
No fault.
The changing lines
The first line:
The standards of excellence are altered.
Pure fortune. Go out of the gate
to meet others and there will be merit.
The third line:
Binding to the man
loses the child. Follow
and seeking will bring achievement.
Gain by dwelling stoutly.
The fifth line:
Confidence in excellence.
Fortune.
62 Small Crossing
The Statement of the second hexagram
Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.
Small matters can be done,
but not large matters.
Flying birds leave their sound:
it is unsuitable to go high-
the suitable is below.
Great fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder over the middle
of the lake: following.
The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.
The noble one acts with
more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.
