Hexagram 38 Line 6: 上九
Position: Line 6 (Upper Trigram)上九 —Yang ⚊ (Solid)Register: auspicious
Classical Chinese Text
上九 睽孤。見豕負塗。載鬼一車。先張之弧。後說之弧。匪寇婚媾。往遇雨則吉。
Wilhelm Translation
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 him, Then one lays the bow aside. He is not a robber; he will woo at the right time. As one goes, rain falls; then good fortune comes.
When This Line Changes
