willkeme asked:
what is the righteous offering to bring forth?
and received a response of:
22 Adornment
The Statement of the first hexagram
Adornment. Continue.
Slight gain in having a place to go.
The changing lines
The first line:
Alighting from the carriage
with adorned feet to walk.
The third line:
Adornment like bright sparkling,
everlasting and upright.
Fortune.
The fourth line:
As beautiful as a white-feathered horse.
It is not a raider who woos.
The sixth line:
Plain adornment
is without fault.
16 Delight
The Statement of the second hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire at the foot
of a mountain: adornment.
The noble one thereby
governs with clarity, and
does not dare
to decide lawsuits lightly.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
