Success. Dense clouds but no rain, from our western outskirts.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: Wind moves above heaven; Small Accumulation. The noble person cultivates refined culture and virtue.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation in plain language\n \u003Cbr>Small Accumulation: Auspicious. Thick clouds gather around the western outskirts, but no rain falls.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says: The upper trigram is Xun, which is wind; the lower trigram is Qian, which is heaven. A gentle wind brushes the earth, grass and trees bend and rise, and life flourishes vigorously—this is the image of Small Accumulation. The noble person observes this image, emulates the gentle wind that stimulates all things, cultivates an exemplary character, and promotes moral teaching.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation from The Heavenly Mechanism of Divining Changes\n \u003Cbr>The Small Accumulation Hexagram has Xun above Qian below and is the first-generation hexagram of the Xun palace. Small Accumulation means a small store and a minor obstruction. Yang is strong while yin is insufficient, so progress must pause temporarily, but in the end success remains possible.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation by Shao Yong, a Northern Song scholar of the Changes\n \u003Cbr>Strength is scant and cannot stop forward movement; conceal your tools and await the right time, advancing patiently.\n \u003Cbr>Those who obtain this hexagram have limited strength and fluctuating fortune. They should build up their capabilities and quietly await the right opportunity. Rushing forward brings danger; everything requires patient progress.\n \u003Cbr>Interpretation by Fu Peirong, a Taiwanese master of traditional Chinese learning\n \u003Cbr>Timing: Ordinary and unremarkable, constrained by others.\n \u003Cbr>Wealth: The appearance is good, but there are many losses underneath.\n \u003Cbr>Home: Modest prosperity; beware of disputes. Marry a virtuous woman.\n \u003Cbr>Health: Wind-fire disorders; favorable for children, unfavorable for adults.\n \u003Cbr>Traditional interpretation of the hexagram\n \u003Cbr>This hexagram is formed by two different trigrams, Qian below and Xun above. Qian is heaven and Xun is wind. It depicts favorable wind and rain, with crops growing; hence the name Small Accumulation. Strength is limited, so one must wait until development reaches a certain level before achieving great things.\n \u003Cbr>Great Image: The amount that can be accumulated is limited and strength cannot match one’s wishes. Therefore, endure, build up strength, and quietly await the right time.\n \u003Cbr>Fortune: Fortune fluctuates, with disputes and arguments, but they are difficult to resolve in the short term. Endure and quietly await the right time.\n \u003Cbr>Career: The time is not yet ripe. Patiently and actively store up strength; never act recklessly. Do not lose heart when facing setbacks. Summon courage to overcome difficulties, uphold principles, strengthen unity and cooperation, and prepare everything in advance; success will follow.\n \u003Cbr>Business: You already have a certain foundation, but there is a risk of loss. Be especially cautious, seek sincere cooperation with others for mutual profit, never be greedy, and stop when enough is enough. Yet do not become satisfied with the status quo or abandon the desire to advance.\n \u003Cbr>Seeking recognition: Establish an ambitious goal and make every effort to attain it. Humbly seek advice from others and obtain sincere help to realize your ideals. Beware of petty people’s sabotage.\n \u003Cbr>Romance and marriage: Both sides must be extremely loyal; the involvement of a third party is highly likely.\n \u003Cbr>Decision-making: Things will not proceed very smoothly, and some unexpected difficulties will arise along the way. Yet because of your strong character and will to overcome unfavorable conditions, you can realize your ideals. You may very likely be harmed by petty people, so you must receive sincere help from like-minded people to remove obstacles. Be satisfied with what you gain and stop when appropriate; do not pursue excessively, lest fullness bring loss.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>The philosophical meaning of the Ninth Hexagram\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>The Small Accumulation Hexagram is formed by two different trigrams, with Qian below and Xun above. Qian is heaven and Xun is wind. It depicts favorable wind and rain and flourishing grain, hence the name Small Accumulation. The original meaning of accumulation is crops growing densely in a field, extended to mean storing up; Small Accumulation means storing up little by little. Since strength is limited and has not reached the degree of Great Accumulation, one must wait until development reaches a certain level before achieving great things.\n \u003Cbr>The Small Accumulation Hexagram follows the Associating Hexagram. The Sequence Commentary explains: “Association must result in some accumulation; therefore Small Accumulation follows it.” When people join together, there must be some accumulation, so the Small Accumulation Hexagram follows.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says, “The noble person cultivates refined culture and virtue.” Xun Shuang believed this referred to King Wen of Zhou, who, while in Western Qi, had not yet become Son of Heaven and could not extend grace and government orders to the people, so he could only beautify his own virtue. In fact, this hexagram should describe the Duke of Zhou acting as regent. The Duke of Zhou governed the realm in place of the young King Cheng while calling himself a subject. Thus he occupied the position of the yielding Six in the fourth place through yielding virtue. The Duke of Zhou’s eastern expedition laid the foundation for the flourishing of his rule; after he acted as regent and led the eastern expedition, Western Zhou achieved a small accumulation of economic strength.","Detailed explanation of the first nine line of Zhouyi Hexagram Nine\n \u003Cbr>Statement of the First Nine line\n \u003Cbr>First nine. Return by one’s own path. What harm could there be? Auspicious.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: Returning by one’s own path is righteous and auspicious.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation in plain language\n \u003Cbr>First nine: Returning by the original route—what disaster could there be? Auspicious.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says: Returning by the original route means that it is auspicious in essence.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation by Shao Yong, a Northern Song scholar of the Changes\n \u003Cbr>Neutral: Those who obtain this line should preserve their old occupation and should not innovate. Those planning matters should beware disasters caused by suspicion and doubt. Officials may return to office after a period of idleness.\n \u003Cbr>Interpretation by Fu Peirong, a Taiwanese master of traditional Chinese learning\n \u003Cbr>Timing: Withdraw and protect yourself; there will be no disaster or difficulty.\n \u003Cbr>Wealth: Hold steady to the old business; innovation is not advisable.\n \u003Cbr>Home: Do not seek outside; the household will prosper on its own.\n \u003Cbr>Health: Quiet rest and recuperation will restore you.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Transformation of the First Nine line\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cimg src='\"https:\u002F\u002Fmypublicforweb.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\u002Finching\u002F64_9_1.png'\" alt='\"周易第9卦的其中之一变卦卦的卦图'\" >\n \u003Cbr>When the first nine line changes, it becomes Zhouyi Hexagram 57: Xun as Wind. This is a same-trigram hexagram, with Xun below and Xun above. Xun is wind; two winds layered together produce an unceasing long wind that enters every opening. Xun also represents compliance and humility in attitude and conduct, so nothing one undertakes is unfavorable.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Philosophical meaning of the First Nine line\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>From the hexagram image, the first nine is a yang line in a firm place, properly positioned. Yet it has the characteristic of vigorous, rash advancement,\n \u003Cbr>We know that every celestial body in motion has its own orbit. If it acts according to its orbit, there will be no error, and harmony and auspiciousness will result. Those who obtain this hexagram should understand this princi\n \u003Cbr>If you want to do something you are not good at, change careers, or undertake unfamiliar tasks, it is best not to act at this time. The most important thing for you is to return to your proper position. If you discover that you have done something contrary to your nature, inconsistent with your character, or undertaken something you are not good at, what you must do is return—to your “own path.”\n \u003Cbr>“Return by one’s own path” means returning to the original road.\n \u003Cbr>Detailed explanation of the second nine line of Zhouyi Hexagram Nine\n \u003Cbr>Statement of the Second Nine line\n \u003Cbr>Nine in the second place. Return under guidance. Auspicious.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: Being drawn back while centered, one does not lose oneself either.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation in plain language\n \u003Cbr>Nine in the second place: Being drawn back, auspicious.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says: Being drawn back is auspicious because the second nine occupies the central position of the lower trigram, like a person whose conduct is upright and balanced; naturally, there will be no error.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation by Shao Yong, a Northern Song scholar of the Changes\n \u003Cbr>Auspicious: Those who obtain this line receive help from others and achieve what they plan. Officials have opportunities for promotion.\n \u003Cbr>Interpretation by Fu Peirong, a Taiwanese master of traditional Chinese learning\n \u003Cbr>Timing: Accomplish things through others and gain profit; greatly auspicious.\n \u003Cbr>Wealth: Both starting a business and preserving an established one are favorable.\n \u003Cbr>Home: Brothers are harmonious and the household prospers.\n \u003Cbr>Health: An old illness may recur; take care in recuperation.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Transformation of the Second Nine line\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cimg src='\"https:\u002F\u002Fmypublicforweb.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\u002Finching\u002F64_9_2.png'\" alt='\"周易第9卦的其中之一变卦卦的卦图'\" >\n \u003Cbr>When the second nine line changes, it becomes Zhouyi Hexagram 37: Family, Wind over Fire. This hexagram is formed by two different trigrams, Li below and Xun above. Li is fire; Xun is wind. Fire causes hot air to rise and become wind. Everything should take the inner as its foundation and then extend outward. What occurs within takes form without. It symbolizes governing the family first and then the world: when the family is rightly ordered, the world is peaceful.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Philosophical meaning of the Second Nine line\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>From the hexagram image, the second nine and the first nine are connected and both concern returning to one’s proper position. The first nine returns to its proper position through personal awareness; the second nine must return because of external force or circumstances. For example, one may want to venture outside, but one’s parents or family firmly oppose it; in that case, it is best not to go.\n \u003Cbr>Thus, this line also indicates returning hand in hand to the original place, or being forcibly pulled back to the original position; it is auspicious and free of disaster. When you want to do something but are advised or obstructed from doing it, give it up. Return to your proper position and auspiciousness will follow.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Detailed explanation of the third nine line of Zhouyi Hexagram Nine\n \u003Cbr>Statement of the Third Nine line\n \u003Cbr>Nine in the third place. The carriage loses a wheel spoke; husband and wife turn against each other.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: Husband and wife turn against each other; the household cannot be properly governed.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation in plain language\n \u003Cbr>Nine in the third place: A wheel of the carriage is broken. Husband and wife quarrel with each other.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says: Husband and wife quarrel, showing that the household cannot be governed.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation by Shao Yong, a Northern Song scholar of the Changes\n \u003Cbr>Misfortune: Those who obtain this line may gain honor yet suffer humiliation, advance only to be forced back, or develop diseases of the feet or eyes. Husband and wife may turn against each other, ruler and minister may grow distant, friends may become embroiled in disputes, and vital energy may be damaged.\n \u003Cbr>Interpretation by Fu Peirong, a Taiwanese master of traditional Chinese learning\n \u003Cbr>Timing: Yin is strong and yang is declining; there is unrest within and without.\n \u003Cbr>Wealth: Operating against the prevailing direction can yield profit.\n \u003Cbr>Home: Family disharmony; marriage is unfavorable.\n \u003Cbr>Health: Yin and yang are unclear; choose a good physician carefully.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Transformation of the Third Nine line\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cimg src='\"https:\u002F\u002Fmypublicforweb.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\u002Finching\u002F64_9_3.png'\" alt='\"周易第9卦的其中之一变卦卦的卦图'\" >\n \u003Cbr>When the third nine line changes, it becomes Zhouyi Hexagram 61: Inner Truth, Wind over Lake. This hexagram is formed by two different trigrams, Dui below and Xun above. The original meaning of inner truth is incubation: the date when an egg hatches is very precise, giving it the meaning of trust. The hexagram is solid on the outside and hollow within, symbolizing sincerity in the heart; hence it is called Inner Truth. This is the foundation of establishing oneself and conducting oneself in the world.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>The philosophical meaning of the line of Nine in the third place\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Those who obtain this line must pay attention to the words “separation” and “turning against each other.” If driving, inspect the wheels and prepare a spare tire. If married, beware that husband and wife may turn against each other, lose harmony, or even divorce, like the carriage body becoming detached from its spokes.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: “Husband and wife turn against each other; the household cannot be properly governed.”\n \u003Cbr>This passage from the Image means that husband and wife are incompatible because the husband cannot treat his wife properly. In such a situation, attention must be paid to managing the marital relationship well. It is like a carriage: if the body separates from the spokes, forward movement is inevitably affected and every aspect suffers setbacks.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says, “Husband and wife turn against each other; the household cannot be properly governed.” It points out that rebellion occurs because a subject rises above the ruler and cannot regard himself as a subject. This was the political background when the Duke of Zhou had just become regent.\n \u003Cbr>Detailed explanation of the fourth six line of Zhouyi Hexagram Nine\n \u003Cbr>Six in the fourth place line statement\n \u003Cbr>Six in the fourth place. There is trust; bloodshed departs and fear emerges no more. No blame.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: Trust causes fear to depart; those above and below share the same intent.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation in plain language\n \u003Cbr>Six in the fourth place: Prisoners have been captured; the danger of war has temporarily subsided, but vigilance must still be maintained to avoid disaster.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says: Capturing prisoners while remaining vigilant shows that unity of purpose can still be maintained.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation by Shao Yong, a Northern Song scholar of the Changes\n \u003Cbr>Neutral: Those who obtain this line and act sincerely will find human relations harmonious and their plans largely successful. Officials will gain promotion from superiors; those long in office may see their fortunes change.\n \u003Cbr>Interpretation by Fu Peirong, a Taiwanese master of traditional Chinese learning\n \u003Cbr>Timing: Avoid conflict at all costs and travel far away; promotion depends on the superior’s recommendation.\n \u003Cbr>Wealth: Favorable in the northwest, unfavorable in the southeast; neighbors provide assistance.\n \u003Cbr>Home: Proper management brings order; otherwise you will suffer the consequences.\n \u003Cbr>Health: Treat it by relaxing and easing the condition; harsh, drying medicines are unsuitable.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Six in the fourth place changing hexagram\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cimg src='\"https:\u002F\u002Fmypublicforweb.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\u002Finching\u002F64_9_4.png'\" alt='\"周易第9卦的其中之一变卦卦的卦图'\" >\n \u003Cbr>When the fourth six line changes, it becomes Zhouyi Hexagram 1: Qian as Heaven. This is a same-trigram hexagram, with Qian below and Qian above. It symbolizes heaven and the dragon, the noble person of virtue and talent; it also symbolizes pure yang, harmony, and vigor, showing prosperity and strength. Based on the principle that all things transform and adapt, the Qian hexagram uses “origin, success, advantage, constancy” as its judgment, expressing good fortune and fulfillment and teaching people to follow the virtue of the Way of Heaven.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Philosophical meaning of the Nine in the fourth place line\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>There is trust means having integrity. Bloodshed departs means staying away from incidents of bloodshed. Fear emerges no more means no longer being afraid. The meaning of this line statement is: Holding integrity in one’s heart can avert harm, lead out of fear, and bring no disaster.\n \u003Cbr>Those who obtain this line may be facing a choice and wishing to act. Remember: when acting, you must hold integrity in your heart. This can avert bloodshed and prevent wrongdoing. For a leader, however, it is not enough to be sincere oneself; one must also ensure that subordinates are sincere toward oneself when carrying out their work.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: “There is trust and fear emerges no more; those above and below share the same intent.” This means that selecting people through integrity and escaping fear accords with the will of one’s superior. From this we can conclude that one should align with the superior’s will, as Tao Qian aligned with Cao Cao’s will; however, in execution, his subordinate Zhang did not share Tao Qian’s will, so the matter was mishandled and they fell into trouble and fear.\n \u003Cbr>Yet from the hexagram image, the fourth six is a yielding line in a yielding place, properly positioned. As a minister close to the ruler, it is humble and obedient toward the yang nine in the fifth place, and it treats subordinates with integrity. It also persuades the rash lines in the lower trigram to return to their proper positions, so in the end it can escape danger and be free of fear.\n \u003Cbr>Detailed explanation of the fifth nine line of Zhouyi Hexagram Nine\n \u003Cbr>Statement of the Fifth Nine line\n \u003Cbr>Nine in the fifth place. There is trust, binding together; enrich yourself through your neighbors.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: There is trust and binding together; one does not become rich alone.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation in plain language\n \u003Cbr>Nine in the fifth place: Capturing prisoners and binding them together; sharing these goods with neighboring settlements.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says: Capturing prisoners and binding them together, then sharing the goods with neighboring settlements, means they are not enjoyed by one person alone.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation by Shao Yong, a Northern Song scholar of the Changes\n \u003Cbr>Auspicious: Those who obtain this line can receive help from others and see all their plans go as desired. Officials gain the appreciation of superiors and the support of subordinates, becoming highly respected.\n \u003Cbr>Interpretation by Fu Peirong, a Taiwanese master of traditional Chinese learning\n \u003Cbr>Timing: Prosper for a time; nothing undertaken is unfavorable.\n \u003Cbr>Wealth: Goods accumulate and great profit naturally follows.\n \u003Cbr>Home: Both rich and honored, with benefits extending to neighbors.\n \u003Cbr>Health: A disorder involving numbness of the hands and feet.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Transformation of the Fifth Nine line\n \u003Cbr>\u003Cimg src='\"https:\u002F\u002Fmypublicforweb.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\u002Finching\u002F64_9_5.png'\" alt='\"周易第9卦的其中之一变卦卦的卦图'\" >\n \u003Cbr>When the fifth nine line changes, it becomes Zhouyi Hexagram 26: Great Accumulation, Mountain over Heaven. This hexagram is formed by two different trigrams, Qian below and Gen above. Qian is heaven and firmness; Gen is mountain and solidity. Accumulation means gathering, and Great Accumulation means a great store. Therefore, one should not fear severe hardships and obstacles but cultivate oneself diligently to enrich one’s virtue and achievements.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Philosophical meaning of the Nine in the fifth place line\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>From the hexagram image, the fifth nine is a yang line in a firm place, the ruler’s position, holding the center and maintaining correctness; it has won everyone’s support.\n \u003Cbr>The line statement for the fifth place still speaks of integrity, and of closely uniting with everyone rather than acting only for oneself. Here, integrity must be put into practice by helping others. “Enrich yourself through your neighbors” means making one’s neighbors wealthy too.\n \u003Cbr>The Image explains this line: “There is trust and binding together; one does not become rich alone.” “Not becoming rich alone” means ensuring that everyone—first of all, one’s neighbors—also becomes prosperous.\n \u003Cbr>Those who obtain this hexagram should remember, at work or in business, not to consider only themselves but also let others gain some benefit, especially by helping relatives, friends, and nearby neighbors. Understand that if you always think only of yourself and become very wealthy while the neighbors around you remain poor, even your own life will not feel secure. Therefore, help others, maintain harmonious relations with those around you, and pursue mutual benefit.\n \u003Cbr>Detailed explanation of the top nine line of Zhouyi Hexagram Nine\n \u003Cbr>Statement of the Top Nine line\n \u003Cbr>Top nine.

The moon is nearly full; for the noble person to set out is inauspicious.\n \u003Cbr>The Image says: The rain has fallen and one has settled; virtue has accumulated and been carried onward. The noble person’s setting out is inauspicious because there is something doubtful.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation in plain language\n \u003Cbr>Top nine: The long rain has just stopped, and it is still in time to plant crops. For a woman, obtaining this line is dangerous. On the fourteenth day of a certain lunar month, it is also dangerous for a noble person to leave home and travel.\n \u003Cbr>The Image Commentary says: The long rain has just stopped and the farming season has not been missed; there should be a full harvest. The noble person’s departure from home is dangerous because the perilous journey is not understood.\n \u003Cbr>Explanation by Shao Yong, a Northern Song scholar of the Changes\n \u003Cbr>Neutral: Those who obtain this line will be harassed by petty people. They should cultivate virtue and nourish the body; those who do not advance recklessly can avoid disaster.

This hexagram is formed by two different trigrams, with Qian below and Kan above. The lower trigram is Qian, signifying strength and vigor; the upper trigram is Kan, signifying danger and entrapment. When strength encounters danger, one should proceed steadily and cautiously, never act rashly, observe the timing, and wait for changes; whatever one undertakes will surely succeed.\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>Philosophical meaning of the Upper Nine line\n \u003Cbr>\n \u003Cbr>This line represents Small Accumulation reaching its end, when prosperity peaks and begins to decline. Once the rain has fallen, one should be content with the present and not greedily seek more; one must understand the principle of stopping when enough is enough.\n \u003Cbr>From the hexagram image, the top nine is a yang line in a yielding place, improperly positioned. It also cannot maintain the middle way and acts boldly and recklessly with the virtue of danger. It is like a wife controlling her husband, representing yin at its height. When the moon approaches fullness, it rivals the sun; when yin reaches its peak, it contends with yang, and the noble person has no choice but to leave. Hence, misfortune.\n \u003Cbr>The Small Accumulation Hexagram mainly discusses storing up strength, but accumulation has reached its limit. When storage becomes excessively abundant, it will invite loss. This line again warns through fullness that accumulation should stop at the appropriate point.\n \u003Cbr>Those who obtain this line may face a marriage dynamic in which the woman is strong and the man weak. The woman must restrain herself; if she becomes excessively forceful, the husband may leave home or divorce.","Zhouyi I Ching, Hexagram 9, the Small Accumulation Hexagram, Wind over Heaven, Xun above Qian below — detailed explanation of the judgment — Oriental Mysticism Library","A detailed explanation of Zhouyi I Ching Hexagram 9, the Small Accumulation Hexagram (Wind over Heaven, Xun above Qian): the original judgment and plain-language translation, auspiciousness and inauspiciousness analysis for each line statement, and interpretations of career, relationships, and fortune.","䷈","\u003Cp>Small Accumulation: Success.
