Hexagram interpretation:
"Lǚ" means travel. The upper trigram Li represents fire, and the lower trigram Gen represents mountain. Together, they represent fire burning on a mountain. Mountains are inherently still objects. Now, with fire burning on the mountain, the fire moves from one place to another, constantly spreading. Furthermore, mountains can be likened to inns, and fire to travelers. This signifies travel. On one hand, Gen represents stopping, and Li represents brightness. Regarding this hexagram: it's like the sun setting, and travelers must find an inn to stop and spend the night. Then, the next morning, as the sun rises and the sky becomes bright, travelers must repack and set off again to continue their journey. This fully expresses the meaning of "travel." Therefore, this hexagram is named "Lǚ Hexagram."

Annotation

Implanting flowers and grafting wood, with an audacity that knows no bounds: "Implanting flowers and grafting wood" is a metaphor for secretly using tricks to replace people or things to deceive others. "Audacity that knows no bounds." Committing deeds with a hardened heart, plainly apparent: Committing evil deeds openly in broad daylight is truly obvious. Good and evil eventually receive their due: Whether one does good or evil, in the end, there will always be retribution. The gods patrol, with no bias: "The gods" refers to deities who examine the good and evil deeds of the world. The gods' patrols and inspections are fundamentally without any bias.

Vernacular

An Lushan infiltrated the imperial palace; under the guise of being Concubine Yang's adopted son, he actually had intimate conversations with her, even sharing the same bed, their affections no longer resembling those of a mother and son. He grew even more audacious and led a rebellion, initiating the "An Lushan Rebellion." Whether one does good or evil, there is always retribution in the end. The divine inspection tours are utterly without bias.

Divination Meaning

This hexagram's name is "Travel," meaning to journey. It reveals that when one is without a place to settle and is far from home, one should adhere to righteousness and propriety, as well as gentleness and moderation. One should neither belittle oneself to the point of shame nor become overly aggressive to the point of being envied. Travel: signifies journeys, uncertainty, and instability. It indicates that all things are in flux. Although no ill omen is apparent, it is still quite vexing. Investments, relationships, and marriages are likely approached with a playful mindset! When one obtains this hexagram, being at home feels like being in a foreign land, with a restless mind and unsettled affairs. Extended stays also carry worries of hardship, making it a hexagram of initial good fortune followed by concern.
