Ta Yu/Pi

14. Ta Yu / Possession in Great Measure



The Judgement

Possession in Great Measure.
Supreme success.

The Image

Fire in heaven above:
The image of Possession in Great Measure.
Thus the superior man curbs evil and furthers good,
And thereby obeys the benevolent will of heaven.

The Lines

Change in the second place means:
A big wagon for loading.
One may undertake something.
No blame.


Change in the fourth place means:
He makes a difference
Between himself and his neighbor.
No blame.

22. Pi / Grace



The Judgement

Grace has success.
In small matters
It is favorable to undertake something.

The Image

Fire at the foot of the mountain:
The image of Grace.
Thus does the superior man proceed
When clearing up current affairs.
But he dare not decide controversial issues in this way.
