9 Smallness Tames

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.

The changing lines

The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The second line:
Pulled to return.
Fortune.
The fourth line:
Have confidence. Bloodletting is past,
alarm has gone. No fault.
The sixth line:
Rain is done, all is in place. Respect and virtue
are full. Yet a woman's chastity is imperiled.
When the moon is nearly full,
the prince attacks: misfortune.

31 Feeling

The Statement of the second hexagram

Feeling. Pervasive

with gainful purity.

Taking a spouse brings fortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Lake on a mountain:
feeling.
The noble one
accepts people openly.
