    27 Nourishing
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Nourishing. Pure fortune. 
Watch the jaws
and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The fifth line:
    Disobeying the right ways: 
dwelling instead in virtue brings fortune.
Do not advance across the great river.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    42 Increase
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Increase. Gain by having a place to go. 
Advance across the great river.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Thunder below the mountain: nourishing. 
The noble one is 
careful in speech 
and temperate 
while eating and drinking.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Wind and thunder: 
increase. The noble one 
sees perfection 
and shifts to fit its pattern, 
and corrects his own faults.
