Judgment of hexagram 52 艮

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.

The changing lines of hexagram 58
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 和兌，吉。 | The first line, undivided, shows the pleasure of (inward) harmony. There will be good fortune. |
| 2 | 孚兌，吉，悔亡。 | The second line, undivided, shows the pleasure arising from (inward) sincerity. There will be good fortune. Occasion for repentance will disappear. |
| 3 | 來兌，凶。 | The third line, divided, shows its subject bringing round himself whatever can give pleasure. There will be evil. |
| 4 | 商兌，未寧，介疾有喜。 | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject deliberating about what to seek his pleasure in, and not at rest. He borders on what would be injurious, but there will be cause for joy. |
| 5 | 孚于剝，有厲。 | The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject trusting in one who would injure him. The situation is perilous. |
| 6 | 引兌。 | The topmost line, divided, shows the pleasure of its subject in leading and attracting others. |
