The Statement of the first hexagram

Innocence: from the first, all must be

pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Those without such truth suffer calamity

and do not gain no matter where they go.

The changing lines

The third line:
Unexpected trouble:

a cow might be tethered by someone else.

The fifth line:
Unexpected illness.

Recovery from sickness brings joy.

in nourishing
the myriad things.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Brightness doubled:
brilliance. The great person
spreads his brilliance
to illuminate
all four directions.
