Hexagram 11 · line 2
Peace
泰Tài
Make room for the uncultivated; cross the river without a boat; do not neglect what is distant. Let factional ties fall away, and act in accord with the middle course.
Line statement
九二
包荒，用馮河，不遐遺，朋亡，得尚于中行。
Make room for the uncultivated; cross the river without a boat; do not neglect what is distant. Let factional ties fall away, and act in accord with the middle course.
Line 2 is firm and centered; its text reaches across the uncultivated, the river, and what is distant. Making it yielding changes lower heaven to fire and produces Hexagram 36.
