34. Great Manifestation · 大壯 九三

Line 3 of hexagram 34

In practice

If you show off your power and your achievements right now, you'll draw hostile looks and bad situations your way.

The poetry

The petty person uses strength; the noble person does not. Constancy is in danger. A ram butts the fence and tangles its horns.

九三:小人用壯,君子用罔,貞厲。羝羊觸藩,羸其角。

象曰:小人用壯,君子罔也。
