The 49th Hexagram of the 64 Hexagrams of the I Ching

Image Commentary A seedling faces a drought and gradually declines, but receives the grace of heaven and rain. Worry turns into joy, and change brings satisfaction to plans and endeavors.

This hexagram consists of two opposite trigrams, the lower one being Li (Fire) and the upper one being Dui (Marsh). Fire is in the lower position, and Marsh is in the upper. Water is above and flows down, while fire is below and rises up. When fire is strong, water dries up; when water is strong, fire goes out. They generate and destroy each other, inevitably leading to transformation. Transformation is the fundamental law of the universe.
