Hexagram 56 · Line 3

The Traveler三九

Lu Traveler · San Jiu

三九 · San Jiu

The Line

The wanderer's inn burns down. They lose the perseverance of their young servant. Danger.

Interpretation

A violent stranger does not know how to conduct themself. They meddle in affairs and disputes that are no business of theirs. Thereby they lose their place of rest. They treat their servant distantly and arrogantly. Thereby they lose their servant's faithfulness. If as a stranger one has no one on whom one can rely, this is very dangerous.
