26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the first hexagram

Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.

The changing lines

The first line:
There is harsh danger.
Gain ends.
The third line:
A good horse chases, but gain is difficult.
Be upright. Prepare the chariots daily
and be on guard.
Gain by having a place to go.
The fourth line:
A young bull's headboard.
Great fortune.

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 in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
 
 

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.
