Classical Chinese Text
六三 困于石。據于蒺蔾。入于其宮。不見其妻。凶。
困于石。據于蒺蔾
Wilhelm Translation
A man permits himself to be oppressed by stone, And leans on thorns and thistles. He enters his house and does not see his wife. Misfortune.
Commentary
Oppressed by stone, leaning on thorns and thistles. Restless and indecisive in adversity, you butt against walls and lean on unstable things. If oppressed by what ought not to oppress, disgrace follows.
When This Line Changes
If Line 3 changes, Hexagram 47 Kun (Oppression) transforms into Hexagram 28 Da Guo (Preponderance of the Great).
