manuscripts held onto?
and received a response of:
23 Splitting
The Statement of the first hexagram
Splitting; no gain
in having a place to go.
The changing lines
The second line:
The bed's side splits apart:
If you disregard the signs: misfortune.
The fifth line:
The court ladies and concubines
are like fish tethered to a line:
nothing but gain.
59 Spreading
The Statement of the second hexagram
Spreading.
The king draws near to the temple.
Advance across the great river.
Gainful purity.
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
Wind moving above water:
spreading.
The ancient kings made
sacrificial offerings to God
and established temples.
