Hexagram 7 is named 師 (shī), “Leading”. Other variations include “the army” and “the troops”. Its inner trigram is ☵ (坎 kǎn) gorge = (水) water, and its outer trigram is ☷ (坤 kūn) field = (地) earth.
Leading
Confucius/Legge: Discipline describes the masses who make up the army, and the firm correctness referred to means a morally correct intent. When the leader uses the masses with such correctness, he may fulfill the ruler’s will. The focus of strength in the second line is responded to by his proper correlate in the ruler’s place. Although action is dangerous, it accords with the best sentiments of men, and although the leader may distress the country the people will still follow him — there will be good fortune and no error.
