WHY IS HE TRYING SO HARD TO GAIN ATTENTION?
and received a response of:
2 Earth
The Statement of the first hexagram
Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
The changing lines
The second line:
Straight, square, great-
this leads to spontaneous
and undoubted gain.
The third line:
Hide your talents, but stay steadfast
if you would be of royal service.
The fifth line:
Yellow garments.
Great fortune.
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
Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wood above water: well.
The noble one encourages
the people and lends them
assistance.
