21. Biting · 噬嗑 九四
Line 4 of hexagram 21
In practice
You're in a time of great difficulties that feel overwhelming, but stay firm and resolute in the face of adversity, overcoming the obstacles one by one.
The poetry
Biting dried meat on the bone, finding a metal arrowhead. Constancy in hardship is favorable. Good fortune.
九四：噬乾胏，得金矢，利艱貞，吉。
象曰：利艱貞吉，未光也。
