49 Reform

The Statement of the first hexagram

Reform: on one's own day,

confidence is won-

making, pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Regrets vanish.

The changing lines

The first line:
Bound using yellow ox hide.
The fourth line:
Regrets vanish. Have confidence,

alter the commands. Fortune.
The sixth line:
The noble one changes like a panther.

The small person changes his expression.

Going is unfortunate,

staying is pure fortune.

popular customs.
