Hexagram 64 未濟, Line 4
未濟
Hexagram 64 · fourth line, undivided (nine)
貞吉，悔亡，震用伐鬼方，三年有賞于大國。
The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject by firm correctness obtaining good fortune, so that all occasion for repentance disappears. Let him stir himself up, as if he were invading the Demon region, where for three years rewards will come to him (and his troops) from the great kingdom.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
