30. The Flame · 離 九三
Line 3 of hexagram 30
In practice
Don't get swept along by life's ups and downs. Standing firm, centered within yourself whatever the outside circumstances, ensures achievement.
The poetry
The radiance of the setting sun. If no one beats the clay pot and sings, there comes the lament of great old age. Misfortune.
九三：日昃之離，不鼓缶而歌，則大耋之嗟，凶。
象曰：日昃之離，何可久也。
