Changing Lines🔗
Line 1🔗
Wisely return to your natural path when encountering obstructions; it is reasonable not to try to obtain anything by force.
Line 2🔗
Seeing the way blocked, a reasonable man does not expose himself to a personal rebuff but retreats in harmony with others.
Line 3🔗
Forcing advance against a slight obstruction fails, causing domestic arguments and compromising your personal dignity.
Line 4 ★🔗
Ruling line. If you are sincere, disinterested truth carries enough weight to achieve the end, causing danger and fear to give way.
Line 5🔗
Mutual reinforcement and shared prosperity lead to deep ties where devotion and trustworthiness complement each other perfectly.
Line 6🔗
Success is achieved bit by bit, requiring caution. The winning weak element must not vaunt its victory; stay content and do not advance further.
