3 Sprouting

The Statement of the first hexagram

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

The changing lines

The second line:
How like the difficulty of sprouting!
Rushing like a team of horses: it is not a raider
who woos, yet the chaste girl refuses.
She waits ten years for betrothal.
The fifth line:
Sprouting fresh and thick:
For the small, a sign of fortune.
For the great, a sign of misfortune.
The sixth line:
Riding a team of horses:
Sobbing and weeping blood.

41 Decrease

The Statement of the second hexagram

Decrease. Have confidence.

Great fortune. No fault

if one can be upright.

Gain by having a place to go.

How should one act?

Two square bamboo baskets

can be used in offering.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

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

The Image of the second hexagram

Lake below mountain:
decrease. The noble one
halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
