20 Beholding

The Statement of the first hexagram

Behold! The hands have been washed,

but the offering has not yet been made.

Be sincere and dignified in appearance.

The changing lines

The first line:
Childish beholding is not wrong

for a common person, but it is wrong

for a superior person.
The second line:
Spying and peeping:

far better to have a woman's purity.
The third line:
Beholding my life:

advance or retreat?
The fourth line:
Beholding our nation's glory:

make good use

of an audience with the king.
The fifth line:
Beholding my life:

the wise person rids herself of faults.

Great hold_ings:

The wind moving above

The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire in heaven:
great holdings.
The noble one
curbs evil and fosters good,
and is favored
with heaven's blessings
and commands.
