4 Youth

The Statement of the first hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.

The changing lines

The first line:
While penalties are useful to illuminate

the naive youth, take off the fetters-

to go too far leads to sorrow.
The third line:
It is useless to marry a woman

who loses herself when she sees

a golden man.
The fourth line:
A distressed and naive youth:

sorrow.

14 Great Holdings

The Statement of the second hexagram

Great hold_ings:
supreme
every_where.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
 
 

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.
