Line statement
上六
齎咨涕洟，无咎。
Sighs, tears, and a running nose. No fault.
Tears close the sequence at Line 6, the gathering's far edge. Changing the line gives Hexagram 12, with earth below and heaven above no longer meeting.
Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- outer · boundary
Line 6 is the boundary of the outer trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yin in an even place: aligned
Its yin polarity matches the traditional even-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 3: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 3; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
