8. Union · 比 九五
Line 5 of hexagram 8
In practice
Those who can help you will come naturally. Don't keep seeking help from someone who is reluctant to give it.
The poetry
Open union. The king hunts, driving from three sides, and lets the game in front escape. The townspeople are not alarmed. Good fortune.
九五：顯比。王用三驅，失前禽，邑人不誡，吉。
象曰：顯比之吉，位正中也。舍逆取順，失前禽也。邑人不誡，上使中也。
