and received a response of:
20 Beholding
The Statement of the first hexagram
Behold! The hands have been washed,
but the offering has not yet been made.
Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
The changing lines
The first line:
Childish beholding is not wrong
for a common person, but it is wrong
for a superior person.
The second line:
Spying and peeping:
far better to have a woman's purity.
The fifth line:
Beholding my life:
the wise person rids herself of faults.
41 Decrease
The Statement of the second hexagram
Decrease. Have confidence.
Great fortune. No fault
if one can be upright.
Gain by having a place to go.
How should one act?
Two square bamboo baskets
can be used in offering.
The Image of the first hexagram
The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake below mountain:
decrease. The noble one
halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
