HEXAGRAM
56: GUEST
The wanderer. Never in one place, roams from town to town. Auspcious for travelers.
The Lines (base to top)
A guest is trashing the place
He clasps his stuff to his chest
He is burning down the house
His axe lies under the bed
A pheasant is killed: one shot
The guest's laughter turns to tears
Commentary
Fire over mountain. Will the lookout see the smoke?
Take care to douse the embers before you move on.
