58 Exchange

The Statement of the second hexagram

Exchange: progress and steadfast gain.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Joined lakes in exchange.
The noble one
investigates and explains
knowledge to friends.
