      The Statement of the first hexagram

Not eating at home brings fortune. 
Advance across the great river.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    There is harsh danger. 
Gain ends.  
  
    The third line:
    A good horse chases, but gain is difficult.
Be upright. Prepare the chariots daily 
and be on guard. 
Gain by having a place to go.  
  
    The fifth line:
    A gelded hog's teeth. 
Favorable.

    The Image of the first 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.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Wind moving above water: 
spreading. 
The ancient kings made 
sacrificial offerings to God 
and established temples.
