28 Great Excess

The Statement of the first hexagram

The ridgepole sags.

Gain by having a place to go.

Continue.

The changing lines

The first line:
A cushion of white grass.

No fault.
The second line:
A withered trunk bursts with fresh vetch.

An old man takes a wife. Nothing but gain.

49 Reform

The Statement of the second hexagram

Reform: on one's own day,

confidence is won-

making, pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Regrets vanish.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire in the middle of the
lake: reform. The noble one
orders the calendar
by the seasons.
