Ta Chuang / The Power of the Great
above: Ch^ en The Arousing, Thunder
below: Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven
Nine in the fourth place means:
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Remorse disappears.
The hedge opens; there is no entanglement.
Power depends upon the axle of a big cart.
If a man goes on quietly and perseveringly working at the removal of
resistances, success comes in the end. The obstructions give way and
all occasion for remorse arising from excessive use of power disappears.
Such a man's power does not show externally, yet it can move heavy
loads, like a big cart whose real strength lies in its axle. The less
that power is applied outwardly, the greater its effect.
