what was the real reason they not on speaking terms?
and received a response of:
50 Cauldron
The Statement of the first hexagram
Cauldron.
Great fortune.
Continue.
The changing lines
The first line:
A cauldron overturned:
gain by expelling what is bad.
Take a concubine to have children.
The second line:
No fault.
A cauldron is full. My enemies are ill
and cannot approach me: fortune.
The fourth line:
A cauldron's feet break.
The duke's sacrificial food pours out.
His person is stained. Misfortune.
22 Adornment
The Statement of the second hexagram
Adornment. Continue.
Slight gain in having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire on top of wood:
cauldron.
The noble one takes the
principal seat
to solidify his commands.
Could you stoke
the cauldron that feeds
all people?
The Image of the second hexagram
Fire at the foot
of a mountain: adornment.
The noble one thereby
governs with clarity, and
does not dare
to decide lawsuits lightly.
