Hexagram 49 革, Line 5
革
Hexagram 49 · fifth line, undivided (nine)
大人虎變，未占有孚。
The fifth line, undivided, shows the great man (producing his changes) as the tiger (does when he) changes (his stripes). Before he divines (and proceeds to action), faith has been reposed in him.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
大人虎變，其文炳也。
If only this line changes, hexagram 49 becomes hexagram 55.
← Hexagram 49 革: judgment and all lines
