Plain text of XXXII. The Hang Hexagram
Hang indicates successful progress and no error (in what it denotes). But the advantage will come from being firm and correct; and movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous.
1 The first line, divided, shows its subject deeply (desirous) of long continuance. Even with firm correctness there will be evil; there will be no advantage in any way.
2 The second line, undivided, shows all occasion for repentance disappearing.
3 The third line, undivided, shows one who does not continuously maintain his virtue. There are those who will impute this to him as a disgrace. However firm he may be, there will be ground for regret.
4 The fourth line, undivided, shows a field where there is no game.
5 The fifth line, divided, shows its subject continuously maintaining the virtue indicated by it. In a wife this will be fortunate; in a husband, evil.
6 The topmost line, divided, shows its subject exciting himself to long continuance. There will be evil.
