Line statement
九二
包有魚，无咎，不利賓。
The wrapping contains a fish. No fault. It is not favorable to share it with guests.
At Line 2, the fish is contained close to the first yielding line. The traditional reading keeps that encounter from spreading to the other firm lines, figured as guests. Changing Line 2 makes Mountain below Heaven, Hexagram 33.

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.
