35 Advancing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Marquis Kang receives gifts

of many breeding horses,

welcoming them three times

in one day.

The changing lines

The first line:
Advancing halted.

Uprightness brings fortune, but no trust.

Be generous to be without fault.
The sixth line:
Advancing with their horns.

Secure by exerting: attack the town.

Harsh fortune. No fault,

but persistence brings sorrow.

51 Thunder

The Statement of the second hexagram

Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
