Hexagram 35 晉 changing to hexagram 33 遯
Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 3, 5.
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 35 晉, line 5
悔亡，矢得勿恤，往吉无不利。
The fifth line, divided, shows how all occasion for repentance disappears (from its subject). (But) let him not concern himself about whether he shall fail or succeed. To advance will be fortunate, and in every way advantageous.
Hexagram 35 晉, line 3
眾允，悔亡。
The third line, divided, shows its subject trusted by all (around him). All occasion for repentance will disappear.
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 33 遯 — judgment
亨。小利貞。
Thun indicates successful progress (in its circumstances). To a small extent it will (still) be advantageous to be firm and correct.
