59 Spreading

Spreading.

The king draws near to the temple.

Advance across the great river.

Gainful purity.

Spreading his twisting body.

No regrets.

Spreading his flock. Great fortune.

Expanding and there are mounds.

No common person can understand this.

Spreading his blood.

Go far away. No fault.

Gain by having a place to go.

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind moving above water:
spreading.
The ancient kings made
sacrificial offerings to God
and established temples.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
