27 Nourishing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Nourishing. Pure fortune.

Watch the jaws

and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.

The changing lines

The third line:
Jaws shake in opposition. Persistence

will bring misfortune. For ten years,

all will be useless and no place

will bring gain.
The sixth line:
Through nourishment

in severity comes fortune.

Advance across the great river.

36 Smothered Light

The Statement of the second hexagram

Smothered light.

Gain is difficult: persist.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
