Traveler. Slight progress.
Be steadfast in travel: fortune.

The changing lines

The second line:
A traveler promptly stops for lodging,
holding his wealth, getting servants.
Virtuous.
The third line:
A traveler sets fire to his lodging,
loses his servants. Firm harshness.
The fourth line:
A traveler in a dwelling place
gets his wealth and ax.
My heart is unhappy.

4 Youth

The Statement of the second hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire on the mountain:
traveler. The noble one is
clear-minded and cautious
in meting out punishment
and yet does not delay trial.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
