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 sixth line:
Through nourishment

in severity comes fortune.

Advance across the great river.

24 Returning

The Statement of the second hexagram

Returning. Continue.
In coming and going,
there is neither sickness nor distress.
Companions come without fault.
Returning is its Tao.
In seven days, returning comes.
Gain by having a place to go.
 
 

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

Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.
Traveling merchants
did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.
