Hexagram 33 – Dùn (Retreat / Withdrawal)
Heaven over Mountain — Qián above Gèn
Judgment
Dùn: Success.
Small advantage in perseverance.
Commentary on the Judgment (Tuàn)
Dùn means “retreat”—through retreat, one attains success.
The firm holds its position and responds appropriately, acting in accordance with the times.
Small advantage in perseverance—the benefit grows gradually.
The principle of retreat at its proper time is great indeed.
Commentary on the Image (Xiàng)
“There is a mountain over the world”—this is Retreat.
The noble one, seeing this,
keeps distance from petty people, and by firmness without harshness, commands respect.
