6 Dispute

The Statement of the first hexagram

Dispute: keep confident

even if blocked and alarmed.

In the middle, good fortune,

but in the end, misfortune.

Gain by seeing a great person.

Do not advance across the great river.

The changing lines

The first line:
Do not prolong this case.

The petty control all the talk.

In the end: fortune.
The third line:
Surviving on old favors: a perilous sign.

In the end: fortune.

One may undertake royal service,

but without personal success.
The fourth line:
Unable to win the dispute. Go back now,

make your decisions.

Change your mind

and there will be peace.
The fifth line:
Dispute. Supreme fortune.

26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the second hexagram

Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Heaven and water clash:
dispute. The noble one
devises the right beginning
in all matters.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
