9 Smallness Tames
The Statement of the first hexagram
Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.
The changing lines
The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The fourth line:
Have confidence. Bloodletting is past,
alarm has gone. No fault.
44 Copulating
The Statement of the second hexagram
Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
