37 Family

The Statement of the first hexagram

A family benefits
from the women's purity.

The changing lines

The first line:
A family within its own walls.
Regrets vanish.
The third line:
The family scolds. Remorse from severity
is gainful. Women and children
laughing too much leads to loss.
The fourth line:
A wealthy family.
Great fortune.

12 Clogging

The Statement of the second hexagram

Clogging by wicked people.

Nothing to be gained,

even from a steadfast prince.

The great goes, the vile comes.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind emerges from fire:
family.
The noble one has
substance in speech and
constancy in action.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
