48 Well

The Statement of the first hexagram

Well. A city may change,

but the well does not.

It does not lose, it does not gain.

In spite of all who come and go from a well,

it remains a well.

But if the rope cannot reach,

or if the well's vase is upended:_

misfortune.

The changing lines

The fourth line:
The well lined with brick.

No fault.
The sixth line:
The well collects fully. Do not cover it.

Have confidence: great fortune.

44 Copulating

The Statement of the second hexagram

Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wood above water: well.
The noble one encourages
the people and lends them
assistance.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
