6. Conflict · 訟 九二

Line 2 of hexagram 6

In practice

Withdrawing in time, even if it looks cowardly, is the best move right now.

The poetry

Unable to win the lawsuit. Turning back, slipping away; the people of the town, three hundred households, come to no harm.

九二:不克訟,歸而逋,其邑人三百戶无眚。

象曰:不克訟,歸逋竄也。自下訟上,患至掇也。
