Hexagram 29 Line 1: 初六
Position: Line 1 (Lower Trigram)初六 —Yin ⚋ (Broken)Register: inauspiciousFamous Line
Classical Chinese Text
初六 習坎。入于坎窞。凶。
習坎。入于坎窞
Wilhelm Translation
Repetition of the Abysmal. In the abyss one falls into a pit. Misfortune.
Commentary
Falling into a pit within the abyss—double danger. Growing used to what is dangerous, allowing it to become part of you. Familiarity with evil leads to losing the right way.
