Line statement
九四
乘其墉，弗克攻，吉。
Climbing the wall, unable to attack. Favorable.
At Line 4, the claimant has climbed the wall but does not carry out the attack. The Image attributes that restraint to what is right, rather than a lack of force. Changing this line to yielding turns upper heaven to wind and produces Hexagram 37.
Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- outer · base
Line 4 is the base of the outer trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yang in an even place: not aligned
Its yang polarity does not match the traditional even-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 1: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 1; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
