Line statement
九二
見龍在田，利見大人。
A dragon appears in the field. Meeting a great person is beneficial.
At the second place, the dragon is visible in the field but remains below the ruling position. Changing Line 2 to yielding produces Hexagram 13, with this as its only broken line.
Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- inner · center
Line 2 is the center of the inner trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yang in an even place: not aligned
Its yang polarity does not match the traditional even-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 5: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 5; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
