    24 Returning
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Returning. Continue. 
In coming and going, 
there is neither sickness nor distress.

    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Brilliance 
in the earth's core: 
smothered light. 
The noble one
governs the multitude 
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Thunder in the center of 
the earth: returning. 
The ancient kings 
closed the borders 
during the solstices. 
Traveling merchants 
did not journey. Sovereigns 
did not tour the provinces.
