44 Copulating

The Statement of the first hexagram

Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.

The changing lines

The first line:
Checked by a metal brake: pure fortune.
There's a place to go, but misfortune
will be seen. A weak pig will surely falter.
The second line:
The wrapping has fish. No fault.
Not gainful for guests.
The third line:
Buttocks without skin: one walks uneasily.
Harsh, but no great fault.
The fourth line:
The wrapping has no fish:
the start of misfortune.
The fifth line:
Like a gourd surrounded by willows,
and held in place,
there comes a falling from heaven.

27 Nourishing

The Statement of the second hexagram

Nourishing. Pure fortune.

Watch the jaws

and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
