    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 second line:
    No place to follow. Gifts are within. 
Pure fortune.  
  
    The fifth line:
    The king withdraws to his family. 
With no other help: fortune.

stirs the people
and nourishes virtue.
