Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 1, 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 60 節, line 5
甘節，吉；往有尚。
The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject sweetly and acceptably enacting his regulations. There will be good fortune. The onward progress with them will afford ground for admiration.
Hexagram 60 節, line 1
不出戶庭，无咎。
The first line, undivided, shows its subject not quitting the courtyard outside his door. There will be no error.
The two hexagrams
Hexagram 60 節 — judgment
亨。苦節不可貞。
Kieh. intimates that (under its conditions) there will be progress and attainment. (But) if the regulations (which it prescribes) be severe and difficult, they cannot be permanent.
Hexagram 7 師 — judgment
貞丈人吉，无咎。
Sze indicates how, in the case which it supposes, with firmness and correctness, and (a leader of) age and experience, there will be good fortune and no error.
