9 Smallness Tames

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.

The changing lines

The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The fourth line:
Have confidence. Bloodletting is past,
alarm has gone. No fault.

44 Copulating

The Statement of the second hexagram

Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
