No fault.

The standards of excellence are altered.
Pure fortune. Go out of the gate
to meet others and there will be merit.
The fourth line:
Follow and there will be capture-but this is a sign
of misfortune. Put your confidence in the Way
and you will understand.
Then, how can there be fault?

The king makes offering
on West Mountain.

Thunder over the middle

The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
