40 Releasing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Gain in the west and south.
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune.
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.

The changing lines

The sixth line:
The duke uses this chance to shoot a hawk
from the top of the ramparts.
Nothing but gain in capturing.

64 Not Yet Across

The Statement of the second hexagram

Not yet across. Continue.

The young fox, nearly across,

soaks its tail.

No place is gainful.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and rain act:
releasing.
The noble one
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire on top of water:
not yet across. The wise
one distinguishes things
carefully, and puts them
in their places.
