The changing lines of hexagram 55
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 遇其配主，雖旬无咎，往有尚。 | The first line, undivided, shows its subject meeting with his mate. Though they are both of the same character, there will be no error. Advance will call forth approval. |
| 3 | 豐其沛，日中見沬，折其右肱，无咎。 | The third line, undivided, shows its subject with an (additional) screen of a large and thick banner, through which at midday he can see (the small) Mei star. (In the darkness) he breaks his right arm; but there will be no error. |
| 6 | 豐其屋，蔀其家，窺其戶，闃其无人，三歲不觌，凶。 | The topmost line, divided, shows its subject with his house made large, but only serving as a screen to his household. When he looks at his door, it is still, and there is nobody about it. For three years no one is to be seen. There will be evil. |
