52 Stilling

The Statement of the first hexagram

One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.

The changing lines

The third line:
Stilling one's waist.
Splitting the muscles of the back.
Cruelty smokes one's heart.
The fourth line:
Stilling his trunk.
No fault.
The sixth line:
Deep and honest stillness.
Fortunate.

16 Delight

The Statement of the second hexagram

What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
