Lake
Lower Trigram
Wind
Description
The ridgepole sags. Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures; the weight is too great.
The Judgment
Preponderance of the Great. The ridgepole sags to the breaking point. It furthers one to have somewhere to go. Success.
The Image
The lake rises above the trees. Thus the superior person, when standing alone, is unconcerned; and if they have to renounce the world, they are undaunted.
