Line 6 上六 yin, divided, of hexagram 47 困 Kùn
The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
困于葛藟,于臲卼,曰動悔。有悔,征吉。
The sixth line, divided, shows its subject straitened, as if bound with creepers; or in a high and dangerous position, and saying (to himself), ‘If I move, I shall repent it.’ If he do repent of former errors, there will be good fortune in his going forward. (Legge, 1882)
The Image 小象
