22nd Hexagram Bi (贲)

The Chapter is an interpretation of the 22nd hexagram, Bi (贲), from the Yi Jing (I Ching). Bi, meaning "grace" or "adorning," symbolizes the importance of both outward appearance and inner substance. The hexagram's imagery, comprising mountain over fire, suggests a focus on aesthetics alongside a warning against superficiality. Interpretations offer advice on various aspects of life, including love (prioritize inner qualities), health (potential serious illness), lost items (check at home), and legal matters (seek swift resolution). Ultimately, the hexagram emphasizes the need for internal enrichment to complement external beauty.
