Hexagram 47 Line 3: 六三
Classical Chinese Text
六三 困于石。據于蒺蔾。入于其宮。不見其妻。凶。
困于石。據于蒺蔾
Line Commentary
Oppressed by stone, leaning on thorns and thistles. Enters the house and does not see his wife. Misfortune. Restless and indecisive in adversity. You butt your head against a wall and feel oppressed by it. Lean on things without stability. Turn back irresolutely only to find fresh disappointment. If oppressed by what ought not to oppress, disgrace follows.
