35. Chin / Progress

 
 above Li The Clinging, Flame
 
 
 below K'un The Receptive, Earth
 

The Judgement

Progress. The powerful prince
Is honored with horses in large numbers.
In a single day he is granted audience three times.

The Image

The sun rises over the earth:
The image of Progress.
Thus the superior man himself
Brightens his bright virtue.

The Lines

Six in the fifth place means:
Remorse disappears.
Take not gain and loss to heart.
Undertakings bring good fortune.
Everything serves to further.

12. P'i / Standstill [Stagnation]

 
 above Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven
 
 
 below K'un The Receptive, Earth
 

The Judgement

Standstill. Evil people do not further
The perseverance of the superior man.
The great departs; the small approaches.

The Image

Heaven and earth do not unite:
The image of Standstill.
Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth
In order to escape the difficulties.
He does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.
