23 Splitting

The Statement of the second hexagram

Splitting; no gain

in having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.

The mountain resting on
the earth: splitting.
When the high
are generous
to those below,
all dwell in peace.
