Hexagram 35 晉 changing to hexagram 52 艮
Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 3, 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 35 晉, line 4
晉如鼫鼠，貞厲。
The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject with the appearance of advancing, but like a marmot. However firm and correct he may be, the position is one of peril.
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 52 艮 — judgment
艮其背，不獲其身，行其庭，不見其人，无咎。
When one's resting is like that of the back, Kăn he loses all consciousness of self; when he walks in his courtyard, and does not see any (of the persons) in it,—there will be no error.
