16 Delight
The Statement of the first hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The changing lines
The fifth line:
Firm illness persists,
but there is no death.
45 Collecting
The Statement of the second hexagram
The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
