Hexagram 59 渙, Line 4
渙
Hexagram 59 · fourth line, divided (six)
渙其群，元吉。渙有丘，匪夷所思。
The fourth line, divided, shows its subject scattering the (different) parties (in the state); which leads to great good fortune. From the dispersion (he collects again good men standing out, a crowd) like a mound, which is what ordinary men would not have thought of.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
