⚊The Lines

Yang

First (Bottom)

When ribbon grass is pulled up, the sod comes with it. Undertakings bring good fortune.

Yang

Second

Bearing with the uncultured in gentleness. Fording the river with resolution. The middle way does not neglect the distant.

Yang

Third

No plain not followed by a slope. No going not followed by a return. Perseverance in difficulty brings no blame.

Yin

Fourth

Fluttering down, not boasting of wealth. Together with neighbors in sincerity.

Yin

Fifth

The sovereign gives his daughter in marriage. This brings blessing and supreme good fortune.

Yin

Sixth (Top)

The wall falls back into the moat. Use no army now. Announce commands in your own city. Perseverance brings humiliation.
