    8 Joining
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Joining brings fortune. 
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault. 
Those who are not sure 
will join the plan.
Those who are late 
will meet misfortune.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The second line:
    Joining from within our own people. 
Pure fortune.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    29 Pit
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Repeated pits.
Have confidence. 
Tether your heart and continue. 
Action brings honor.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Water pooled 
on the earth: joining. 
The early kings founded 
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Flowing water comes:
repeated pits. 
The noble one moves 
with constant virtue, and 
repeatedly teaches 
the critical matters.
