28 Great Excess
The Statement of the first hexagram
The ridgepole sags.
Gain by having a place to go.
Continue.
The changing lines
The second line:
A withered trunk bursts with fresh vetch.
An old man takes a wife. Nothing but gain.
The third line:
A weak beam.
Misfortune.
The fifth line:
Withered wood blooms with flowers.
An old woman takes a husband.
Neither fault nor praise.
16 Delight
The Statement of the second hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The Image of the first hexagram
The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
