for gim what I am?
and received a response of:
23 Splitting
The Statement of the first hexagram
Splitting; no gain
in having a place to go.
The changing lines
The first line:
The bed's feet split:
If you disregard the signs: misfortune.
The sixth line:
Great fruits are not eaten.
The noble one gets a sedan chair.
The vile ones splinter their huts.
24 Returning
The Statement of the second hexagram
Returning. Continue.
In coming and going,
there is neither sickness nor distress.
Companions come without fault.
Returning is its Tao.
In seven days, returning comes.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
The mountain resting on
the earth: splitting.
When the high
are generous
to those below,
all dwell in peace.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.
Traveling merchants
did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.
