利女贞。
The family — correct roles and devoted example within the household influence the world.
The Image (Daxiang)
「风自火出，家人；君子以言有物而行有恒。」Wind born of fire — the noble person speaks with substance and acts with constancy.—— 《周易·大象传》（The Image Commentary）
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰：家人，女正位乎内，男正位乎外，男女正，天地之大义也。家人有严君焉，父母之谓也。父父，子子，兄兄，弟弟，夫夫，妇妇，而家道正，正家而天下定矣。——《易传·彖传》
