Hexagram 58 兌 changing to hexagram 43 夬
Changing line (counted from the bottom): 3.
What to read
One changing line: read the text of that line in the original hexagram. (Rule set out by Zhu Xi in the Yixue qimeng.)
Hexagram 58 兌, line 3
來兌，凶。
The third line, divided, shows its subject bringing round himself whatever can give pleasure. There will be evil.
The two hexagrams
Hexagram 58 兌 — judgment
亨。利貞。
Tui intimates that (under its conditions) there will be progress and attainment. (But) it will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
Hexagram 43 夬 — judgment
揚于王庭，孚號，有厲，告自邑，不利即戎，利有攸往。
Kwâi requires (in him who would fulfil its meaning) the exhibition (of the culprit's guilt) in the royal court, and a sincere and earnest appeal (for sympathy and support), with a consciousness of the peril (involved in cutting off the criminal). He should (also) make announcement in his own city, and show that it will not be well to have recourse at once to arms. (In this way) there will be advantage in whatever he shall go forward to.
