and received a response of:
59 Spreading
The Statement of the first hexagram
Spreading.
The king draws near to the temple.
Advance across the great river.
Gainful purity.
The changing lines
The second line:
Spreading and going directly toward
his platform. Regrets vanish.
20 Beholding
The Statement of the second hexagram
Behold! The hands have been washed,
but the offering has not yet been made.
Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind moving above water:
spreading.
The ancient kings made
sacrificial offerings to God
and established temples.
The Image of the second hexagram
The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
