28 Great Excess

The Statement of the first hexagram

The ridgepole sags.

Gain by having a place to go.

Continue.

The changing lines

The first line:
A cushion of white grass.

No fault.
The second line:
A withered trunk bursts with fresh vetch.

An old man takes a wife. Nothing but gain.
The sixth line:
Fording, wading, head submerged.

Misfortune, but without fault.

13 Kindred

The Statement of the second hexagram

The kindred in the wilderness.
Continue.
Advance across the great river.
Gain by a wise one's purity.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire rises into heaven:
kindred. The noble one
groups and sorts
all that must be done.
