Hexagram 56 旅, Line 6

旅
Hexagram 56 · sixth line, undivided (nine)

鳥焚其巢,旅人先笑後號咷。喪牛于易,凶。

The sixth line, undivided, suggests the idea of a bird burning its nest. The stranger, (thus represented), first laughs and then cries out. He has lost his ox(-like docility) too readily and easily. There will be evil.

James Legge (1882), public domain.

Small image (小象)

以旅在上,其義焚也。喪牛于易,終莫之聞也。

If only this line changes, hexagram 56 becomes hexagram 62.
