The second line of Grace is the shortest statement in the hexagram and one of the most exact. Legge's translation gives simply one adorning his beard. No fortune is named, favourable or otherwise, and the silence is deliberate, because a beard has no fortune of its own. It hangs from a jaw, it moves when the jaw moves, and it stops when the jaw stops. Whatever is done to it is done to something that cannot initiate anything.
That is the hexagram's theory of ornament stated in a single figure. Grace is real and it is worth attending to, but it is attached, and it takes its direction from what it is attached to. The Judgment of the hexagram already cautions against letting adornment take the lead; this line shows why the caution is structural rather than moral. Ornament that leads has come away from the substance it belongs to, and a beard detached from a chin is not an ornament at all.
A yin stroke correctly fills this even position and holds the centre of the lower trigram Li, a placement classical commentary reads as sound in every respect. The line is not being criticised. It is being described, and the description is a limit rather than a fault. Placed and centred as well as it could be, it still cannot move first, and the sequence of the hexagram treats this as the plain condition of every beautiful thing that decorates something else.
