Since manuscripts are subject to deterioration?
and received a response of:
22 Adornment
The Statement of the first hexagram
Adornment. Continue.
Slight gain in having a place to go.
The changing lines
The second line:
Adorning is his beard.
The fourth line:
As beautiful as a white-feathered horse.
It is not a raider who woos.
The fifth line:
Light adorns hillside gardens:
A betrothal bundle
may be small and meager,
but in the end, fortune.
1 Heaven
The Statement of the second hexagram
Heaven: maker, pervasive,
bountiful, and pure.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire at the foot
of a mountain: adornment.
The noble one thereby
governs with clarity, and
does not dare
to decide lawsuits lightly.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven moves with power:
the noble one never stops
strengthening himself.
