28. Excesses · 大過 九四
Line 4 of hexagram 28
In practice
You can receive help from those under you now, but if you take advantage of it and there's no balance between giving and receiving, they'll withdraw their support and there will be loss.
The poetry
The ridgepole rises. Good fortune. If there is something else, distress.
九四：棟隆，吉。有它吝。
象曰：棟隆之吉，不橈乎下也。
