Hexagram 38

Kuí

Opposition

Also: Diversity, Polarizing

☲ Fire over ☱ Lake

The Judgment

Opposition. In small matters, good fortune.

The Image

Above, fire; below, the lake. Thus amid all fellowship the superior person retains their individuality.

The Lines

Line 1

Remorse disappears. If you lose your horse, do not run after it; it will come back of its own accord. When you see evil people, guard yourself against mistakes.

Line 2

One meets one's lord in a narrow street. No blame.

Line 3

One sees the wagon dragged back, the oxen halted. A person's hair and nose cut off. Not a good beginning, but a good end.

Line 4

Isolated through opposition. One meets a like-minded person with whom one can associate in good faith. Despite the danger, no blame.

Line 5

Remorse disappears. The companion bites through the wrappings. If one goes to that person, how could it be a mistake?

Line 6

Isolated through opposition. One sees one's companion as a pig covered with dirt, as a wagon full of devils. First one draws a bow against them, then one lays the bow aside. It is not a robber; one will woo at the right time. As one goes, rain falls, and then good fortune comes.
