28. Excesses · 大過 九五
Line 5 of hexagram 28
In practice
When you focus on strengthening ties with those above you but forget to pay attention to those you lead, your success will be limited.
The poetry
The withered poplar puts out flowers. An old woman takes a young husband. No fault, no praise.
九五：枯楊生華，老婦得其士夫，无咎无譽。
象曰：枯楊生華，何可久也。老婦士夫，亦可醜也。
