    40 Releasing
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Gain in the west and south. 
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune. 
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    No fault.  
  
    The fifth line:
    The superior one rules by releasing. Fortune. 
One has the confidence 
of the common people.  
  
    The sixth line:
    The duke uses this chance to shoot a hawk 
from the top of the ramparts. 
Nothing but gain in capturing.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    10 Walking
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Walking on a tiger's tail:
it does not bite.
Continue.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Thunder and rain act:
releasing. 
The noble one 
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Heaven above, lake below: 
walking. The noble one
distinguishes high and low
to fix the people's purpose.
