Hexagram 12 · 否 pǐ
Blockage · line 1
初六：拔茅茹以其彙，貞吉，亨。

Hexagram 12 Blockage · Judgement
否之匪人，不利君子貞，大往小來。
In Phî there is the want of good understanding between the (different classes of) men, and its indication is unfavourable to the firm and correct course of the superior man. We see in it the great gone and the little come.
James Legge, 1882
