I Ching: Hexagram 11 - The Lines, Part 5

Six in the fifth place means:
The sovereign I
Gives his daughter in marriage.
And supreme good fortune.


The sovereign I is T'ang the Completer. By his decree the imperial princesses, although higher in rank than their husbands, had to obey them like all other wives. Here too we are shown a truly modest union of high and low that brings happiness and blessings.
