火山旅Lǚ · Traveling
离上 · 艮下Fire over Mountain
卦辞The Judgement
旅：小亨，旅贞吉。Lǚ. Slightly prosperous. For the traveler, steadfast and upright: good fortune.
处于漂泊、临时、不属于自己地盘的状态。艮山在下属土居东北，离火在上属火居南方——山上有火，火在山上烧，烧完这片就移到下一片，不会在一处久留。火生土，火把草木烧成灰，灰变成土——走一处留一处痕迹，但不扎根。可能是出差、出国、过渡期、寄人篱下。这时要谨慎低调，做客就有做客的样子——不能像在家一样大喇喇。
You are in a wandering, temporary, not-quite-belonging state. The lower trigram Gèn is Mountain, element Earth, in the northeast; the upper trigram Lí is Fire, element Fire, in the south — fire on the mountain, burning across one patch then moving to the next, never lingering in one place. Fire generates Earth, the fire reducing grass and tree to ash, the ash becoming soil — leaving a mark wherever it passes, but never taking root. It may be a business trip, a foreign land, a transitional season, a guest's quarters. At such times, be careful, be modest; the guest has the bearing of a guest, not the freedom of one at home.
大象The Image
《象》曰：山上有火，旅；君子以明慎用刑而不留狱。Fire upon the mountain: the image of the Wanderer. The noble one, accordingly, is clear and careful in applying punishment and does not let cases linger.
六爻The Six Lines

Petty arguments on the road — Gèn's Mountain, first line, lodging at the mountain's foot — disaster invited, no haggling over trifles — disaster comes of itself. Away from home, do not haggle over trifles; you only make trouble for yourself.
六二，旅即次，怀其资，得童仆，贞。Traveling. Reaching a lodging. Carrying one's resources. Acquiring a young servant. Steadfast and upright.

九三，旅焚其次，丧其童仆；贞厉。Traveling. The lodging burns. Loses the young servant. Steadfastness: danger.
客栈被烧、忠仆走了——艮山唯一的阳爻，山最硬但被火烧——主动惹事的代价，主动惹事的代价。在外不要张扬，更不要欺负服务你的人。
The lodging burned and the servant gone — the one yang line of Gèn, the hardest of the mountain but caught by the fire — the price of stirring up trouble — the price of stirring up trouble. Don't be loud on the road, and certainly don't bully those who serve you.
九四，旅于处，得其资斧，我心不快。Traveling. Resting in a shelter. Gets one's traveling expenses. My heart is not glad.
在外暂居、有点资源（带着斧头）——离火初爻，火刚烧到新地方——但心里还是不畅快，物质够但精神不满足，但心里还是不畅快。物质够但精神不满足，也是常见的旅人心态。
Camping briefly in a strange place, with some resources at hand — Lí's Fire, first line, the fire newly reaching a fresh place — but the heart still restless, means enough yet spirit unfilled — but the heart is restless. Material enough and spirit unfilled — a common feeling on the road.
六五，射雉，一矢亡；终以誉命。Shooting a pheasant. One arrow, gone. In the end, fame and a charge.
射雉鸡丢了一支箭——离火居中，火候正好——小损失换来好名声，小损失换来好名声。在外要懂得舍小求大。
Losing an arrow to bring down the pheasant — Lí's Fire centered, the heat just right — a small loss bought a good name — a small loss for a great name. On the road, know how to trade a little for a lot.
上九，鸟焚其巢，旅人先笑，后号咷；丧牛于易，凶。The bird's nest burns. The traveler first laughs, then weeps. Loses the ox at the boundary. Misfortune.
鸟把自己的巢烧了——离火到极处，火烧过头了——旅人先笑后哭，得意忘形必凶，旅人先笑后哭。把临时的家当成永久的家、得意忘形——必凶。
The bird burns its own nest — Lí's Fire at its extreme, the fire burned past all bounds — the traveler laughs first and weeps after, mistaking a way-station for a home — the traveler laughs first and weeps later. Taking a way-station for a permanent home, losing all sense of place — sure to be misfortune.
