26 Great Restraint

The Statement of the second hexagram

Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Mountains in the middle
of the earth: humility.
The wise person
takes from the ample
to add to the meager,
weighing and balancing
fairly.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
