Hexagram 44 姤, Line 2
姤
Hexagram 44 · second line, undivided (nine)
包有魚，无咎，不利賓。
The second line, undivided, shows its subject with a wallet of fish. There will be no error. But it will not be well to let (the subject of the first line) go forward to the guests.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
包有魚，義不及賓也。
If only this line changes, hexagram 44 becomes hexagram 33.
