49 Reform

The Statement of the first hexagram

Reform: on one's own day,

confidence is won-

making, pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Regrets vanish.

The changing lines

The first line:
Bound using yellow ox hide.
The second line:
By day's end, there is reform.

Going is fortunate and without fault.
The third line:
Going is unfortunate. Pure harshness.

Reform is declared three times

before there is confidence.
The fourth line:
Regrets vanish. Have confidence,

alter the commands. Fortune.
The fifth line:
The great person changes like a tiger.

No need to divine: there is trust.
The sixth line:
The noble one changes like a panther.

The small person changes his expression.

Going is unfortunate,

staying is pure fortune.

4 Youth

The Statement of the second hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire in the middle of the
lake: reform. The noble one
orders the calendar
by the seasons.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
