56 Traveler

The Statement of the first hexagram

Traveler. Slight progress.
Be steadfast in travel: fortune.

The changing lines

The first line:
A traveler, low and weak-voiced:
thus he summons calamity.
The second line:
A traveler promptly stops for lodging,
holding his wealth, getting servants.
Virtuous.
The third line:
A traveler sets fire to his lodging,
loses his servants. Firm harshness.
The fourth line:
A traveler in a dwelling place
gets his wealth and ax.
My heart is unhappy.

Decrease. Have confidence.

Great fortune. No fault

if one can be upright.

Gain by having a place to go.

The Image of the first hexagram

Fire on the mountain:
traveler. The noble one is
clear-minded and cautious
in meting out punishment
and yet does not delay trial.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Lake below mountain:
decrease. The noble one
halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
