HEXAGRAM 56 – Lu – The Wanderer
Above LI THE CLINGING, FIRE
Below KEN KEEPING STILL, MOUNTAIN
- The mountain, Ken, stands still;
above it
- fire, Li, flames up and does not tarry.
Therefore
the two trigrams do not stay together.
Strange lands and separation are the wanderer’s lot.
THE JUDGMENT
THE WANDERER.
Success through smallness.
Perseverance brings good fortune
To the wanderer.
When
-
a man is a wanderer and stranger,
- he should not be gruff nor overbearing.
- he should not be gruff nor overbearing.
- He has no large circle of acquaintances
therefore
- he should not give himself airs.
- He must be cautious and reserved;
in this way
- he protects himself from evil.
If
-
he is obliging toward others,
- he wins success.
- he wins success.
A wanderer has no fixed abode;
his home is the road.
Therefore
he must take care to remain upright and steadfast,
so that
he
- sojourns only in the proper places,
- associating only with good people.
Then
he
- has good fortune and
- can go his way unmolested.
THE IMAGE
Fire on the mountain: The image of THE WANDERER.
Thus
the superior man
- Is clear-minded and cautious In imposing penalties, And
- protracts no lawsuits.
When grass on a mountain takes fire, there is bright light.
However,
the fire
- does not linger in one place, but
- travels on to new fuel.
It is a phenomenon of short duration.
This is what penalties and lawsuits should be like.
They
- should be a quickly passing matter, and
- must not be dragged out indefinitely.
- Prisons ought to be places where people are lodged only temporarily,
as guests are.
- They must not become dwelling places.
