Line 4 九四 yang, undivided, of hexagram 34 大壯 Dà Zhuàng
The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
貞吉悔亡,藩決不羸,壯于大轝之腹。
The fourth line, undivided, shows (a case in which) firm correctness leads to good fortune, and occasion for repentance disappears. (We see) the fence opened without the horns being entangled. The strength is like that in the wheel-spokes of a large waggon. (Legge, 1882)
