11. Well-Being · 泰 上六

Line 6 of hexagram 11

In practice

The situation may take a turn for the worse. Pay attention and watch for the first signs of decline. If you insist on pressing ahead, there will be loss.

The poetry

The city wall falls back into the moat. Do not use the army. From the town, orders are proclaimed. Constancy brings distress.

上六:城復于隍,勿用師,自邑告命,貞吝。

象曰:城復于隍,其命亂也。
