35 Advancing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Marquis Kang receives gifts

of many breeding horses,

welcoming them three times

in one day.

The changing lines

The first line:
Advancing halted.

Uprightness brings fortune, but no trust.

Be generous to be without fault.
The fourth line:
Advancing like rodents.

Pure harshness.
The fifth line:
Regrets vanish. Loss and gain

are no longer concerns. Going forward

is fortunate: nothing but gain.
The sixth line:
Advancing with their horns.

Secure by exerting: attack the town.

Harsh fortune. No fault,

but persistence brings sorrow.

3 Sprouting

The Statement of the second hexagram

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

The Image of the first hexagram

Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

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