28. Excesses · 大過 九二

Line 2 of hexagram 28

In practice

It's an exceptional time, so the measures must be exceptional too. Your actions should rest on unusual acts that seem small but bring extraordinary results.

The poetry

The withered poplar puts out shoots. An old man takes a young wife. Nothing that is not favorable.

九二:枯楊生稊,老夫得其女妻,无不利。

象曰:老夫女妻,過以相與也。
