62 Small Crossing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.

Small matters can be done,

but not large matters.

Flying birds leave their sound:

it is unsuitable to go high-

the suitable is below.

Great fortune.

The changing lines

The second line:
Crossing to one's ancestors,

meeting one's dead mother.

Not reaching as far as one's king:

meeting his minister. No fault.
The third line:
Do not cross. Be on guard.

Attend to this, or there may be killing.

Misfortune.
The fifth line:
Dense clouds, no rain.

At my western outskirts, the duke shoots,

takes another in the cave.

47 Distress

The Statement of the second hexagram

Distress. Continue.
For a pure and great person: fortune.
No fault. What is said is not trusted.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.
The noble one acts with
more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A lake without water:
distress. The noble one
devotes her life
to fulfill her will.
