Abundance
震 (zhèn, Thunder) above · 离 (lí, Fire) below
The Judgment 卦辞
Fullness like the sun at noon — clarity and movement together. Act now, decide now, be seen now: at the peak, the shadow already starts to grow.
The Image 大象
Thunder and lightning arrive together: abundance. The wise person decides lawsuits and carries out punishments.
The six lines 爻辞
Each line of 丰 has its own classical text. If a line in your cast is changing, its text is the heart of your reading.
Line 1 · 初九
Meeting your equal — a full ten days together, no blame. Going forward brings esteem.
「遇其配主，虽旬无咎，往有尚」
Line 2 · 六二
The canopy thickens; stars seen at noon. Doubt and suspicion — sincerity dissolves them. Good fortune.
「丰其蔀，日中见斗，往得疑疾，有孚发若，吉」
Line 3 · 九三
The awning spread wide, faint stars at noon, the right arm broken. Diminished — but no blame in it.
「丰其沛，日中见沫，折其右肱，无咎」
Line 4 · 九四
Stars at noon again — then meeting the unexpected ally. Good fortune inside the obscuring.
「丰其蔀，日中见斗，遇其夷主，吉」
Line 5 · 六五
Brilliance arrives — celebration and repute. Good fortune.
「来章，有庆誉，吉」
Line 6 · 上六
The great house roofed over, the home dark behind it — peering in: silence, no one, three years unseen. Abundance that isolated itself.
「丰其屋，蔀其家，窥其户，阒其无人，三岁不觌，凶」
If you drew this in a reading
A favorable pattern. Among the sixty-four patterns, this one belongs to the favorable family: its core movement supports what you would do with it. Favorable does not mean automatic — the hexagram still asks you to hold up your end with steadiness and good faith.
In yes/no questions this hexagram leans yes — the pattern supports proceeding.
The trigrams give the flavor: 震 (Thunder) above — arousing shock — movement, initiative, sudden change — over 离 (Fire) below — clarity and clinging — insight, illumination, dependence on fuel. Where those two energies meet, 丰 is born.
