    6 Dispute
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Dispute: keep confident
even if blocked and alarmed. 
In the middle, good fortune,
but in the end, misfortune. 
Gain by seeing a great person. 
Do not advance across the great river.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The fourth line:
    Unable to win the dispute. Go back now, 
make your decisions. 
Change your mind 
and there will be peace.

Advance across the great river. 
Gainful purity.

in all matters.

    Wind moving above water: 
spreading. 
The ancient kings made 
sacrificial offerings to God 
and established temples.
