Information regarding the interpretation modelClassical Interpretation
The characters »stagnation« (12) and »peace« are opposites by their nature.
The image
Heaven and earth do not unite: the image of stagnation. Thus the superior man withdraws to his inner qualities to avoid difficulties. He does not permit himself to be honoured with revenue.
The judgement
Stagnation.vil people do not further the the perseverance of the superior man. The great departs, the small approaches.
