The Statement of the first hexagram

Following
what is great, smooth,
gainful, and pure.
No fault.

The changing lines

The first line:
The standards of excellence are altered.
Pure fortune. Go out of the gate
to meet others and there will be merit.
The fourth line:
Follow and there will be capture-but this is a sign
of misfortune. Put your confidence in the Way
and you will understand.
Then, how can there be fault?
The sixth line:
Adhering and binding
to make following hold fast.
The king makes offering
on West Mountain.

20 Beholding

The Statement of the second hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder over the middle
of the lake: following.
The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
