40 Releasing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Gain in the west and south.
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune.
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.

The changing lines

The first line:
No fault.
The third line:
Shouldering a bundle on the back,
and riding a carriage attracts bandits:
pure severity.
The fifth line:
The superior one rules by releasing. Fortune.
One has the confidence
of the common people.
The sixth line:
The duke uses this chance to shoot a hawk
from the top of the ramparts.
Nothing but gain in capturing.

1 Heaven

The Statement of the second hexagram

Heaven: maker, pervasive,
bountiful, and pure.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and rain act:
releasing.
The noble one
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven moves with power:
the noble one never stops
strengthening himself.
