51 Thunder

The Statement of the first hexagram

Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.

but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.

The changing lines

The third line:
Thunder: awake, awake!
Shaking without injury.

Plentiful. Progress.

on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
