小过 · Small Excess

Description

Exceeding in small things. Thunder on the mountain — attend to details; great ambitions should wait.

The Judgment

Preponderance of the Small. Success. Perseverance furthers. Small things may be done; great things should not be done.

The Image

Thunder on the mountain. Thus in conduct the superior person gives preponderance to reverence. In bereavement, to grief. In expenditures, to thrift.
