16 Delight

The Statement of the first hexagram

What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.

The changing lines

The first line:
Crowing delight.
Misfortune.
The second line:
Upright like a rock in character.
In less than a day
one shows that purity.
Fortune.

54 Marrying Sister

The Statement of the second hexagram

Advance: misfortune.
No place will bring gain.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder over lake:
marrying sister.
The noble one pursues
far-reaching goals
while keeping aware
of possible ruin.
