Hexagram 22 賁 changing to hexagram 36 明夷
Changing line (counted from the bottom): 6.
What to read
One changing line: read the text of that line in the original hexagram. (Rule set out by Zhu Xi in the Yixue qimeng.)
Hexagram 22 賁, line 6
白賁，无咎。
The sixth line, undivided, shows one with white as his (only) ornament. There will be no error.
The two hexagrams
Hexagram 22 賁 — judgment
亨。小利有攸往。
Pî indicates that there should be free course (in what it denotes). There will be little advantage (however) if it be allowed to advance (and take the lead).
Hexagram 36 明夷 — judgment
利艱貞。
Ming Î indicates that (in the circumstances which it denotes) it will be advantageous to realise the difficulty (of the position), and maintain firm correctness.
