45 Collecting

The Statement of the first hexagram

The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.

The changing lines

The first line:
A trust that cannot reach conclusion:
there is confusion, there is collecting amid commands.
One grasps for smiling results-no help.
Depart without fault.
The third line:
Collecting like sighs of regret.
No place is gainful.
Depart without fault. Slight regret.
The fourth line:
Great fortune, no fault.
The fifth line:
Collecting brings position. No fault
that there is no trust.
Great everlasting constancy dispels regret.
The sixth line:
Exclamations, tears, and sniveling.
No fault.

22 Adornment

The Statement of the second hexagram

Adornment. Continue.
Slight gain in having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire at the foot
of a mountain: adornment.
The noble one thereby
governs with clarity, and
does not dare
to decide lawsuits lightly.
