Hexagram 18 · Line 5
Repair — 五九
Gu · Wu Jiu
五九 · Wu Jiu
The Line
Setting right what has been spoiled by the father. One finds praise.
Interpretation
One finds oneself facing a decay that has arisen from the neglect of earlier times. One does not possess the strength to steer it alone. But one finds capable helpers, with whose support one brings about, not indeed a creative new beginning, but at least a thorough reform, which is also worthy of praise.
