I Ching: Hexagram 55 (Fêng)

above CHêN THE AROUSING, THUNDER
below LI THE CLINGING, FIRE


Chên is movement; Li is flame, whose attribute is clarity. Clarity within, movement without-this produces greatness and abundance. The hexagram pictures a period of advanced civilization. However, the fact that development has reached a peak suggests that this extraordinary condition of abundance cannot be maintained permanently.
