| The present is embodied in Hexagram 59 - Huan (Dissolution): There will be progress and success. The king goes to his ancestral temple, and it will be advantageous to cross the great stream. It will be advantageous to be firm and correct. |
| The fourth line, divided, shows its subject scattering the different parties in the state, which leads to great good fortune. From the dispersion he collects again good men standing out, a crowd like a mound, which is what ordinary men would not have thought of. |

 | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to brightness and warmth. |
 | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'an (Water), which represents danger and the unknown. |
