The Situation

12. P'i - Standstill (Stagnation)
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)

The Judgement for the Current Situation

Standstill. Evil people do not further
The perseverance of the superior man.
The great departs; the small approaches.


The Image for the Current Situation

Heaven and earth do not unite:
The image of Standstill.
Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth
In order to escape the difficulties.
He does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.

Heaven together with fire:
The image of Fellowship with Men.
Thus the superior man organizes the clans
And makes distinctions between things.
