13. Gathering with Equals · 同人 九五
Line 5 of hexagram 13
In practice
The big differences seem impossible to bridge; still, with patience and a willing heart, union returns.
The poetry
Community: first wailing and cries, then laughter. The great armies manage to meet.
九五：同人，先號咷而後笑。大師克相遇。
象曰：同人之先，以中直也。大師相遇，言相克也。
