Line 2 六二 yin, divided, of hexagram 55 豐 Fēng
The line, with Legge
Line statement 爻辭
豐其蔀，日中見斗，往得疑疾，有孚發若，吉。
The second line, divided, shows its subject surrounded by screens so large and thick that at midday he can see from them the constellation of the Bushel. If he go (and try to enlighten his ruler who is thus emblemed), he will make himself to be viewed with suspicion and dislike. Let him cherish his feeling of sincere devotion that he may thereby move (his ruler’s mind), and there will be good fortune. (Legge, 1882)
