26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the first hexagram

Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.

The changing lines

The first line:
There is harsh danger.
Gain ends.
The fifth line:
A gelded hog's teeth.
Favorable.
The sixth line:
Where is heaven's thoroughfare?
Go through it.

48 Well

The Statement of the second hexagram

Well. A city may change,

but the well does not.

It does not lose, it does not gain.

In spite of all who come and go from a well,

it remains a well.

But if the rope cannot reach,

or if the well's vase is upended:_

misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wood above water: well.
The noble one encourages
the people and lends them
assistance.
