Hexagram 16 豫 changing to hexagram 55 豐
Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 1, 3.
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 16 豫, line 3
盱豫，悔。遲有悔。
The third line, divided, shows one looking up (for favours), while he indulges the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. If he would understand!—If he be late in doing so, there will indeed be occasion for repentance.
Hexagram 16 豫, line 1
鳴豫，凶。
The first line, divided, shows its subject proclaiming his pleasure and satisfaction. There will be evil.
The two hexagrams
Hexagram 16 豫 — judgment
利建侯行師。
Yü indicates that, (in the state which it implies), feudal princes may be set up, and the hosts put in motion, with advantage.
Hexagram 55 豐 — judgment
亨。王假之，勿憂，宜日中。
Făng intimates progress and development. When a king has reached the point (which the name denotes) there is no occasion to be anxious (through fear of a change). Let him be as the sun at noon.
