Pervading, Smooth Going, Greatness
Peace occurs when heaven and earth unite in deep harmony, the small departs, and the great approaches; light controls the central position.
The ruler regulates universal prosperity by dividing time into seasons and marking off infinite space to bound nature's profusion.
Changing Lines๐
Line 1๐
Every able man called to office draws like-minded people along with him, like pulling ribbon grass up by its connected roots.
Line 2๐
Possess greatness of soul to bear with the uncultured, ford dangerous rivers with resolution, and strictly avoid factionalism.
Line 3๐
No plain without a slope, no going without a return. Prosperity is followed by decline; stay inwardly superior to outer fate.
Line 4๐
High rank comes into close contact with lowliness quite simply, spontaneously, and without boasting of wealth.
Line 5 โ ๐
Ruling line. The modest union of high and low brings happiness and blessings, exemplified by imperial princesses obeying their husbands.
Line 6๐
The wall falls back into the moat; doom is at hand. Submit to fate, use no force, and hold your own within your intimate circle.
