50. The Vessel of Nourishment · 鼎 初六
Line 1 of hexagram 50
In practice
The change will happen under conditions that aren't ideal, but it will come to a good end.
The poetry
The cauldron upended, feet in the air. It is favorable to tip out what has gone stale. A concubine is taken for the sake of her son. No fault.
初六：鼎顛趾，利出否，得妾以其子，无咎。
象曰：鼎顛趾，未悖也。利出否，以從貴也。
