Hexagram 22 · Line 6
Grace — 上九
Bi Grace · Shang Jiu
上九 · Shang Jiu
The Line
Plain grace. No blame.
Interpretation
Here at the highest stage all ornament is laid aside. Form no longer conceals substance, but lets it come to full effect. The highest grace consists not in outer decoration of the material, but in its plain, fitting shaping.
