Great Taming — 四九

The Line

Interpretation

This line and the one following are the ones that tame the forward-striving lower lines. Before a bull's horns have grown, one places on its forehead a headboard, which takes care that, once the horns are there, they can no longer injure. It is a good kind of taming to meet outbreaking wildness before it expresses itself; thereby one achieves an easy and great success.
