Hexagram 56
L, Itinerant troops

(../i_ching/trigrams/3
li.html)

Gua Poem:
Itinerant Small expansion. A determination about
wandering is auspicious (../origins/goodbad.htm#Ji:
auspicious).
The great image says: High on the mountain there is fire:
Itinerant. The noble one is clear minded and cautious in
imposing punishment and does not protract lawsuits.

L: the ideogram and the story. (../hexstories/56.html) What does it mean for your
question?
Top 9: The bird burns its nest. The wandering people first laugh and afterwards
cry. They lose their cattle at Yi. Pitfall (../origins/goodbad.htm#Xiongpitfall).
In new circumstances new people, new place, new experience one should be extra
careful. One does not know what might happen, so be prepared for everything. Expect
the unlikely and weapon yourself against it.

6 at 5: He shoots a pheasant, dead with one arrow. In the end praise and an
assignment.
Do and show the best you can. When people know your value they will easily grant
you the recognition and position you deserve. Same goes for yourself: just do the best
you can and your soul will feel satisfaction and ease.

9 at 4: The wanderer is in a resting place and obtains his travelingexpenses. My
heart is not pleased.
Finding safety and rest and the means to sustain oneself are important, but the heart
needs safety and riches too, spiritual ones. First of all it needs inspiration, and for that
it must be touched.
(Changes to hex.52) (hex_52.html)
9 at 3: The troops burn their lodgings, lose their boyservants. Determination
danger (../origins/goodbad.htm#Li: adversity).
When a dangerous task has to be accomplished, it is better to burn ones ships. Fear is
strong, but without a refuge it is easier to cope with. When troops start marching to
the war, they remove their camp, so the decision is definite.
(Changes to hex.35) (hex_35.html)
6 at 2: The wanderer comes to a restingplace, cherishes his belongings and
acquires a boyservant. Determination.
Satisfaction with one's life makes a resting place to a place of rest. To be happy with
everything, not longing for more, different or better is the key to feeling at home. One
does not 'find' a home, one makes a place a home.
(Changes to hex.50) (hex_50.html)
Initial 6: The wanderer is trivial and petty, chopping up his position and seizing
calamities.
A first impression is extremely important. Often it cannot be undone, and even if one
can show one's real intentions later, it will never be really convincing.
