Hexagram 14 大有 changing to hexagram 22 賁
Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 2, 4.
What to read
Two changing lines: read both line texts of the original hexagram; the upper one is the main one. (Rule set out by Zhu Xi in the Yixue qimeng.)
Hexagram 14 大有, line 4
匪其尫，无咎。
The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject keeping his great resources under restraint. There will be no error.
Hexagram 14 大有, line 2
大轝以載，有攸往，无咎。
In the second line, undivided, we have a large waggon with its load. In whatever direction advance is made, there will be no error.
The two hexagrams
Hexagram 14 大有 — judgment
元亨。
Tâ Yû indicates that, (under the circumstances which it implies), there will be great progress and success.
Hexagram 22 賁 — judgment
亨。小利有攸往。
Pî indicates that there should be free course (in what it denotes). There will be little advantage (however) if it be allowed to advance (and take the lead).
