51 Thunder

The Statement of the first hexagram

Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.

The changing lines

The first line:
Thunder brings fright and terror.
Afterward, laughter and talk: ha ha.
Fortune.
The second line:
Thunder comes harshly.
Countless treasures lost.
Climb up nine mounds. Do not pursue.
In seven days: recovery.
The fourth line:
Thunder, followed by mud.

7 Armies

The Statement of the second hexagram

Armies must be steadfast.
With a great leader
they will find fortune.
They must remain without fault.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The earth's center
is filled with water.
The noble one supports
the people and cares for
everyone.
