10 Walking
The Statement of the first hexagram
Walking on a tiger's tail:
it does not bite.
Continue.
The changing lines
The first line:
Walking forward in austerity
is without blame.
The fifth line:
Decisive walking,
pure and stern.
64 Not Yet Across
The Statement of the second hexagram
Not yet across. Continue.
The young fox, nearly across,
soaks its tail.
No place is gainful.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven above, lake below:
walking. The noble one
distinguishes high and low
to fix the people's purpose.
The Image of the second hexagram
Fire on top of water:
not yet across. The wise
one distinguishes things
carefully, and puts them
in their places.
