21 Biting

The Statement of the first hexagram

Biting. Penetrate.

Gain by prosecuting.

The changing lines

The first line:
Feet in fetters, toes cut off:

no fault.
The fourth line:
Biting dry bone.

Winning golden arrows.

Gain through difficulty and stay upright.

Fortune.
The fifth line:
Biting dried meat, winning yellow gold.

Be upright in harsh times

and be without fault.
The sixth line:
How he is imprisoned in a cangue,

ears destroyed! Misfortune.

8 Joining

The Statement of the second hexagram

Joining brings fortune.
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault.
Those who are not sure
will join the plan.
Those who are late
will meet misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
