34 Great Vigor

The Statement of the first hexagram

Great vigor, gainful purity.

The changing lines

The third line:
The inferior exert strength, the superior

exert not. Persist in harsh times.

A ram butts a hedge, entangling his horns.
The fourth line:
Pure fortune. Regrets vanish.

The hedge breaks: entanglement is gone.

Strong as a great car's axle blocks.
The sixth line:
A ram butts the hedge and cannot pull out

or escape. No place is gainful.

First difficulty, then fortune.

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

Thunder in heaven above:
great vigor. The noble one
is never without reverence
and does not fail
in conduct.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Lake below mountain:
decrease. The noble one
halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
