Hexagram 9 is named 小畜 (xiǎo chù), “Small Accumulating”. Other variations include “the taming power of the small” and “small harvest”. Its inner trigram is ☰ (乾 qián) force = (天) heaven, and its outer trigram is ☴ (巽 xùn) ground = (風) wind.
Small Accumulating
Confucius/Legge: In the ninth hexagram the magnetic line takes her proper place, and all the lines above and below obey her — hence the name Passive Restraint. The figure is composed of the trigrams of Strength plus Flexibility. Dynamic lines occupy the central places, and their will is accomplished — this means progress and success. Dense clouds but no rain depict the advancing dynamic lines, but their source in the west shows that their beneficial influence has yet to be felt.
