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.
