52 Stilling

The Statement of the first hexagram

One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.

The changing lines

The third line:
Stilling one's waist.
Splitting the muscles of the back.
Cruelty smokes one's heart.
The fifth line:
Stilling his jaws.
Speech is orderly.
Regrets vanish.
The sixth line:
Deep and honest stillness.
Fortunate.

8 Joining

The Statement of the second hexagram

Joining brings fortune.
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault.
Those who are not sure
will join the plan.
Those who are late
will meet misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
