Ta Yu / Possession in Great Measure

above:Li The Clinging, Flame
below:Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven

The third [nine], undivided, shows us a feudal prince presenting his offerings to the Son of Heaven. A small man would be unequal (to such a duty).

Line 3 is strong and in the right (an odd) place. The topmost line of the lower trigram is the proper place of a feudal lord. The subject of this will humbly serve the condescending ruler in line 5. A small man, having the place without the virtue, would give himself airs.
