Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

... As a rule, the manuscript is called?
and received a response of:
16 Delight
The Statement of the first hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The changing lines
The fourth line:
Through delight, the great attains.
Do not doubt it! Friends gather
like hair in a clasp.
2 Earth
The Statement of the second hexagram
Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
The Image of the second hexagram
Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
