23 Splitting

The Statement of the first hexagram

Splitting; no gain

in having a place to go.

The changing lines

The fifth line:
The court ladies and concubines

are like fish tethered to a line:

nothing but gain.

20 Beholding

The Statement of the second hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

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

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.
