19 Arrival

The Statement of the first hexagram

The arrival of the maker: everywhere,
giving and pure.
When the eighth moon comes,
there will be misfortune.

The changing lines

The first line:
All arrival:
pure gain.
The third line:
Luscious arrival,
but no place brings gain.
Once grieving passes, there is no fault.
The fourth line:
Having arrived,
no fault.
The fifth line:
Knowledge arrives.
The noble one is proper.
Fortune.

28 Great Excess

The Statement of the second hexagram

The ridgepole sags.

Gain by having a place to go.

Continue.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Earth by the lake: arrival.
The noble one
is inexhaustible
in teaching,
and boundlessly protects
the people.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
