Hexagram 35 晉 changing to hexagram 21 噬嗑
Changing line (counted from the bottom): 1.
What to read
One changing line: read the text of that line in the original hexagram. (Rule set out by Zhu Xi in the Yixue qimeng.)
Hexagram 35 晉, line 1
晉如，摧如，貞吉。罔孚，裕无咎。
The first line, divided, shows one wishing to advance, and (at the same time) kept back. Let him be firm and correct, and there will be good fortune. If trust be not reposed in him, let him maintain a large and generous mind, and there will be no error.
The two hexagrams
Hexagram 35 晉 — judgment
康侯用錫馬蕃庶，晝日三接。
In Zin we see a prince who secures the tranquillity (of the people) presented on that account with numerous horses (by the king), and three times in a day received at interviews.
Hexagram 21 噬嗑 — judgment
亨。利用獄。
Shih Ho indicates successful progress (in the condition of things which it supposes). It will be advantageous to use legal constraints.
