52 Stilling

The Statement of the first hexagram

One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.

The changing lines

The first line:
Stilling one's feet. No fault.
Gain through everlasting virtue.
The second line:
Stilling one's calves.
One cannot raise one's followers.
One's heart is unhappy.

26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the second hexagram

Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
