13 Kindred

The Statement of the first hexagram

The kindred in the wilderness.
Continue.
Advance across the great river.
Gain by a wise one's purity.

The changing lines

The third line:
Armed and lying in ambush
under the thicket. Looming above
is their high mound.
For three years, there is no rising.
The fifth line:
The kindred first wail and yet later laugh:
great armies are able to meet.

21 Biting

The Statement of the second hexagram

Biting. Penetrate.

Gain by prosecuting.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire rises into heaven:
kindred. The noble one
groups and sorts
all that must be done.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
