Standstill

 

Above Ch'ien the Creative, Heaven

Below K'un the Receptive, Earth

 

 

"Standstill. Evil people do not further The perseverance of the superior man. The great departs; the small approaches."

 

 

Heaven and earth do not unite: The image of Standstill. Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth in order to escape the difficulties. He does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.
