Hexagram 57 · Line 4
The Gentle — 四九

四九 · Si Jiu
The Line
Remorse vanishes. On the hunt one catches three kinds of game.
Interpretation
If one combines inborn modesty, as a result of the responsible place one holds and the experiences one has gathered, with energetic activity, one certainly attains a great success. The three kinds of animals served as sacrifices for the gods, for the entertainment of guests, and for daily use. If one brought down something for all three purposes, the hunting result was particularly good.
