Be alert and be humble!

If you know you're wrong, correct it, don't just go your own way!

If you are unwilling to repent and violate laws and disciplines, then it will be too late to regret when the instruments of torture are placed on your shoulders, your ears are covered, and you are handcuffed and shackled:

Not clever!)
Hard work! Finally good luck came!

It's like buying a Jinhua ham, but there's really a piece of gold hidden inside!

When good luck comes, no one can stop it!

Maybe he came from a wrong place, but he is not at fault! The time has come!

Good luck is coming!)
Eat dried meat and get a golden arrow!

If you continue to work hard and don’t give up under difficult circumstances, you will have good results!

When good luck comes, keep working hard and good luck will come!)
Eating old bacon and getting poisoned.

Be careful if you have diarrhea or vomiting, it's not a big problem yet.

I ate food I shouldn’t have eaten, did things I shouldn’t have done, and been in places I shouldn’t have been.

No big mistake, just be vigilant!)
He was severely injured, his face was swollen, his nose was bleeding and his teeth were stained.

Whose fault? Unwilling to repent, I hit the wall and suffered a huge setback!

Take advantage of it! The tyrannical master met an even more tyrannical master!)
Wearing shackles, the toes are worn out.

It's no one else's fault. why is it like this?

It’s because this person does not listen to good advice, he does not listen to teachings, and does not want to repent!)

Hexagra Sequence

Hexagram Note:
Biting Through: Reflects confrontation, conflict, and decisive action. It advises facing challenges head-on, overcoming obstacles with determination, and persevering through adversity.

Hexagram 21 – Shì Kè (Biting Through / Taming the Power of the Small)

Fire over Thunder — Lí above Zhèn

Judgment

Shì Kè: Success.
Favorable to administer justice.

Commentary on the Judgment (Tuàn)

Shì Kè means “biting through”: there is something within the mouth (or jaw) that must be addressed.
Success comes from separating the firm and yielding, acting with clarity;
thunder and lightning combine to produce illumination.
The yielding attains the center and moves upward;
even if not in its proper position, it is favorable to handle legal matters.

Commentary on the Image (Xiàng)

“Thunder and lightning biting through”—this is Biting Through.
The ancient kings used this to clarify punishments and enforce the law.

Yao/Line 1 Note:
