55 Plentiful
The Statement of the first hexagram
Plentiful. Progress.
The great king arrives. Do not grieve.
All is right as the midday sun.
The changing lines
The third line:
Plentiful flow.
Seeing darkness at noon.
Breaking one's right forearm. No fault.
The fourth line:
Plentiful screens.
Seeing the northern stars at noon.
Meeting one's great lord. Fortune.
The fifth line:
Receiving the seal.
There are congratulations and praise.
Fortune.
3 Sprouting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Sprouting begins everywhere,
abundant and pure.
No need to go far:
gain by naming allies.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder and lightning
come fully: plentiful.
The wise one decides
lawsuits and applies
punishments.
The Image of the second hexagram
Clouds and thunder: sprouting. The noble one
considers the principles.
