The Hexagrams
46 Sho'^e'ng Pushing Upward
The Judgment
Pushing Upward has supreme success.
One must see the great man.
Fear not.
Departure toward the south
Brings good fortune.
The Image
Within the earth, wood grows:
The image of Pushing Upward.
Thus the superior man of devoted character
Heaps up small things
In order to achieve something high and great.
Six at the beginning means:
Pushing upward that meets with confidence
Brings great good fortune.
Nine in second place means:
If one is sincere,
It furthers one to bring even a small offering.
No blame.
Nine in third place means:
One pushes upward into an empty city.
Six in fourth place means:
The king offers him Mount Ch'i.
Good fortune. No blame.
Six in fifth place means:
* Perseverance brings good fortune.
One pushes upward by steps.
Six at the top means:
Pushing upward in darkness.
It furthers one
To be unremittingly persevering.
