Hexagram 5 · Line 1

Waiting初六

Xu · Chu Liu

初六 · Chu Liu

The Line

Waiting in the meadow. It is favorable to abide in what lasts. No blame.

Interpretation

The danger is still far off. One is still waiting on the open plain. Conditions are still simple. There is only something in the air that will come. Here it is important to maintain the regularities of life as long as possible. Only thus does one guard against premature waste of strength and remain free of blame and error, which would mean a weakening for later.
