Hexagram 33 遯, Line 4
遯
Hexagram 33 · fourth line, undivided (nine)
好遯君子吉，小人否。
The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring notwithstanding his likings. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune; a small man cannot attain to this.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
君子好遯，小人否也。
If only this line changes, hexagram 33 becomes hexagram 53.
