Hexagram 11 — 泰 (Tài), Peace
Above: ☷ 坤 Earth Below: ☰ 乾 Heaven
The Judgment
小往大来,吉,亨。
The small departs, the great arrives — heaven and earth commune. A golden age of harmony and prosperity.
The Image (Daxiang)
「天地交,泰;后以财成天地之道,辅相天地之宜。」Heaven and earth commune — the ruler shapes the way of heaven and earth to benefit all.—— 《周易·大象传》(The Image Commentary)
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰:泰,小往大来,吉亨。则是天地交,而万物通也;上下交,而其志同也。内阳而外阴,内健而外顺,内君子而外小人。君子道长,小人道消也。——《易传·彖传》
