33. Leaving Behind · 遯 初六
Line 1 of hexagram 33
In practice
In hard times, when retreat can't be avoided, you'll suffer losses if you don't pull back quickly and actively and still hope to get something out of that road.
The poetry
Retreating at the tail. Danger. Having somewhere to go is of no use yet.
初六：遯尾，厲，勿用有攸往。
象曰：遯尾之厲，不往何災也。
