48 Well
The Statement of the first hexagram
Well. A city may change,
but the well does not.
It does not lose, it does not gain.
In spite of all who come and go from a well,
it remains a well.
But if the rope cannot reach,
or if the well's vase is upended:_
misfortune.

The third line:
The well is dredged, but no one drinks.

we would instantly receive happiness.
