Pi / Grace
above:K^ en Keeping Still, Mountain
below:Li The Clinging, Flame
The first [nine], undivided, shows one adorning (the way of) his feet. He can discard a carriage and walk on foot.
Line 1 is strong, and in an odd place. It is at the very bottom of the hexagram, and is the first line of Li, the trigram for fire or light, and suggesting what is elegant and bright. Its subject has nothing to do but to attend to himself. Thus he cultivates - adorns - himself in his humble position; but if need be, righteousness requiring it, he can give up every luxury and indulgence.
