    The third line:
    Wild swans gradually reach the shore. 
A man journeys but does not return. A wife,

popular customs.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    The wind moving above 
the earth: beholding. 
The ancient kings 
inspected the provinces 
and territories to establish 
the right teachings.
