21 Biting

The Statement of the first hexagram

Biting. Penetrate.

Gain by prosecuting.

The changing lines

The first line:
Feet in fetters, toes cut off:

no fault.
The sixth line:
How he is imprisoned in a cangue,

ears destroyed! Misfortune.

16 Delight

The Statement of the second hexagram

What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
