損
Hexagram 41 · sixth line, undivided (nine)
弗損益之，无咎，貞吉，利有攸往，得臣无家。
The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject giving increase to others without taking from himself. There will be no error. With firm correctness there will be good fortune. There will be advantage in every movement that shall be made. He will find ministers more than can be counted by their clans.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
