Ancient Classics -> Book of Changes -> Tuan Zhuan -> Gu -> 1.1

In Gu we have the strong (trigram) above, and the weak one below;
we have (below) pliancy, and (above) stopping:
- these give the idea of Gu (a Troublous Condition of affairs verging to ruin).
'Gu indicates great progress and success:'
天下- (through the course shown in it), all under heaven, there will be good order.
'There will be advantage in crossing the great stream:'
- he who advances will encounter the business to be done.
'(He should weigh well, however, the events of) three days before (the turning-point),
and those (to be done) three days after it:'
- the end (of confusion) is the beginning (of order);
such is the procedure of Heaven.
