Chapter 2: http://www.taoism.net/ttc/complete.htm
The Yi Jing commented:
High and low support each other -> 27.1 > 23
The formation
27 - Supply
One supplies as needed.
1 - One is facing a difficult problem, but declines the support of their friends. One must let them act before the situation gets worse.
In the making
23 - Erosion
Decline that one can control by using their reservations.
My interpretation:
This reading is difficult to understand without follow-up questions.
What kind of supplies? (27)
What kind of supplies? -> 52.2.6 > 46
The formation
52 - Stop
One recognizes that it is time to stop because they need to be fed.
2 - The other wants more, one cannot retain them.
6 - One studies their neighborhood's demands before addressing them.
In the making
46 - Formation
One is guided until they reach knowledge.
What is the difficult problem? (27.1)
What is the difficult problem? -> 23
The formation
23 - Erosion
Decline that one can control by using their reservations.
Who or what are the friends? (27.1)
Who or what are the friends? -> 30.4 > 22
The formation
30 - Lucidity
Patience will bring success.
4 - One rushes, but does not have the strength to last.
In the making
22 - Reservation
One shall not move too hastily.
What is the decline? (23)
What is the decline? -> 34.4 > 11
The formation
34 - Concentration
One does not let their thoughts derail.
4 - When one hesitates they consult their friends.
In the making
11 - Duty

Conclusion:
