Lü (Travel) · 旅

Judgment (卦辞)

The Traveler. Small success. Perseverance brings good fortune to the traveler. The traveler represents a stranger in a foreign land — one must be cautious, modest, and careful with relationships. Travel demands adaptability and restraint.

旅：小亨，旅贞吉。

Image (象辞)

Fire on the mountain — the image of the Traveler. Thus the superior man is clear-minded and cautious in imposing penalties and does not drag out legal proceedings. Fire on the mountain burns briefly and moves on; the traveler must act swiftly and not linger.

山上有火，旅；君子以明慎用刑而不留狱。

Modern Application
