4 Youth

The Statement of the first hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.

The changing lines

The second line:
To have the joy of holding your own child,

take a wife. It will lead to fortune:

your children will lead the family.

23 Splitting

The Statement of the second hexagram

Splitting; no gain

in having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

The mountain resting on
the earth: splitting.
When the high
are generous
to those below,
all dwell in peace.
