26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the first hexagram

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

51 Thunder

The Statement of the second hexagram

Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.
 
 

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

Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
