豐
Abundance — one of the sixty-four archetypal situations in the Book of Changes.
The Judgment
The peak, like the sun at midday. Enjoy it fully without worrying about its passing.
The Image
Thunder and lightning arrive together, so the wise person judges cases clearly and carries out decisions.
How to use it
Use the high point wisely. Do not waste time mourning that it will change.
Structure
Six lines: 震 Thunder (Zhen) above and 離 Fire (Li) below. Lines are read from the bottom up.
