Thung Zăn suggests the idea of union realized in the open country. There will be progress and success. It will be advantageous to cross the great stream. It will be advantageous to maintain the firm and correct course of the superior man.
The first NINE, undivided, shows its subject advancing with the others, but keeping himself aloof and (as it were) in the suburb. There will be no error.
The second SIX, divided, shows its subject, in union with others, at the gate (of the Grand Temple). There will be good fortune; and no error.
The third NINE, undivided, shows its subject with his arms concealed in the thick grass, and ascending a high mound (three years) without taking any effective action. There will be evil.
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject mounted on his walls; - but he cannot maintain his position. There will be good fortune.
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows its subject first crying out and weeping, and afterwards laughing. His great host conquers, and he (and his new associates) meet together.
The topmost NINE, undivided, shows its subject in the open country, exhibiting the union (of the others) to all.
There will (in this case) be no occasion for repentance. © 2026 I-Ching Divination. All rights reserved.
