Hexagram 45 — 萃 (Cuì), Gathering Together
Above: ☱ 兑 Lake Below: ☷ 坤 Earth
The Judgment
亨。王假有庙，利见大人。亨，利贞。用大牲吉。利有攸往。
Gathering — collective assembly around a shared center succeeds; meet the great person, prepare generously.
The Image (Daxiang)
「泽上于地，萃；君子以除戎器，戒不虞。」A lake above the earth — the noble person readies arms against the unexpected.—— 《周易·大象传》（The Image Commentary）
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰：萃，聚也。顺以说，刚中而应，故聚也。王假有庙，致孝享也。利见大人亨，聚以正也。用大牲吉，利有攸往，顺天命也。观其所聚，而天地万物之情可见矣。——《易传·彖传》

In Plain Terms
Convene people around a shared center — go big. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
