Hexagram 1 乾, Line 4
乾
Hexagram 1 · fourth line, undivided (nine)
或躍在淵，无咎。
In the fourth line, undivided, (we see its subject as the dragon looking) as if he were leaping up, but still in the deep. There will be no mistake.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
或躍在淵，進无咎也。
If only this line changes, hexagram 1 becomes hexagram 9.
