Hexagram 22, Bì (Grace): Line 1
贲卦初九 · 山火贲 · 中文版
初九:贲其趾,舍车而徒。
The line (Legge)
The first NINE, undivided, shows one adorning (the way of) his feet. He can discard a carriage and walk on foot.
Small Image commentary
'He can discard a carriage and walk on foot:' - righteousness requires that he should not ride.
象曰:舍车而徒,义弗乘也。
In plain words
Adorning one's toes, leaving the carriage and going on foot. The first line is at the bottom, content to walk and not taking pride in riding. The Small Image says by what is right it should not ride.
Applying it to your situation
If you are just starting out, this line suggests there is no need for show. What kind of simplicity suits you best right now?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the first place, which is a yang (odd) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 4; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Bì changes into Hexagram 52 Gèn (Keeping Still). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·贲之艮.
The hexagram
Hexagram 22 Bì (Grace). The Judgment: Bi indicates that there should be free course (in what it denotes). There will be little advantage (however) if it be allowed to advance (and take the lead).
