Hexagram 55 — 丰 (Fēng), Abundance

Above: ☳ 震 Thunder Below: ☲ 离 Fire

The Judgment

亨,王假之。勿忧,宜日中。

Abundance at noon — be like the sun at midday: clear, generous, decisive. Don't worry; use the peak.

The Image (Daxiang)

「雷电皆至,丰;君子以折狱致刑。」Thunder and lightning both arrive — the noble person judges cases and applies the law.—— 《周易·大象传》(The Image Commentary)

The Tuan Commentary

彖曰:丰,大也。明以动,故丰。王假之,尚大也。勿忧宜日中,宜照天下也。日中则昃,月盈则食,天地盈虚,与时消息,而况于人乎?况于鬼神乎?——《易传·彖传》

The Six Line Texts

初九遇其配主,虽旬无咎,往有尚。
六二丰其蔀,日中见斗。往得疑疾,有孚发若,吉。
九三丰其沛,日中见沬。折其右肱,无咎。
九四丰其蔀,日中见斗。遇其夷主,吉。
六五来章,有庆誉,吉。
上六丰其屋,蔀其家,窥其户,阒其无人,三岁不觌,凶。

In Plain Terms

Peak abundance — act decisively at high noon. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
