Hexagram 35 晉, Line 1
晉
Hexagram 35 · first line, divided (six)
晉如，摧如，貞吉。罔孚，裕无咎。
The first line, divided, shows one wishing to advance, and (at the same time) kept back. Let him be firm and correct, and there will be good fortune. If trust be not reposed in him, let him maintain a large and generous mind, and there will be no error.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
晉如，摧如；獨行正也。裕无咎；未受命也。
