51. Shock
Shock.
Progressing.
A shock comes, fright, fright!
Laughing and talking, ha, ha!
The shock startled in a hundred li,
but one did not lose the sacrificial wine in the ladle.
There is a shock that has a lot of impact. Although one is alarmed by the shock, there is no real harm done. When it's over one might even look back and make fun of it. Notwithstanding its force one does not allow it to break one's concentration.
(100 li is about 40 kilometer or 25 miles.)
(Changing lines are not relevant here, as there are too many.)
Hexagram is changing to:
5. Waiting
Waiting.
Have confidence in the sunlight.
Progressing.
Persistence brings good fortune.
It is beneficial to cross the big river.
Waiting for something. Be patient while what you are waiting for is still likely to happen. This is not stagnation, so hold on. It may be good to do something to get to a solution.
(The availability of sunlight denotes the time that it makes sense to wait, like until the end of the day, or perhaps until rain clouds obscure the sun. "Having confidence in the sunlight," is being patient while there is sunlight. Patience is a kind of confidence or trust.)
