HEXAGRAM 15: RAT

Modesty is rewarded.

The Lines (base to top)

A way across the river
Squeals of a rat fill the air
Rat: striving, striving, striving
Movement isn't always good
Neighbors may keep neighbors down
Triumphal city entrance

Commentary

Earth over mountain. A lot is hidden.

Some things are better kept to yourself.
