Hexagram 23 · Splitting Apart

不利有攸往。
剥象征剥落倾覆。阴盛阳衰、基础被掏空。不利于任何积极行动，应顺势退守、保存火种。
初六 剥床以足，蔑贞，凶。
六二 剥床以辨，蔑贞，凶。
六三 剥之，无咎。
六四 剥床以肤，凶。
六五 贯鱼，以宫人宠，无不利。
上九 硕果不食，君子得舆，小人剥庐。

不利有攸往。
As things come apart, this is not a moment for setting out on any new venture.
Initial Six: The bed's legs are being worn away — the foundation of what is right is being undermined. Misfortune.
Six in the second: The erosion has reached the bed's frame — what is right is losing its footing further still. Misfortune.
Six in the third: In the midst of this decay, one person breaks away from it rather than joining in. No blame.
Six in the fourth: The erosion has reached the surface of the bed itself, close enough to touch the sleeper directly. Misfortune.
Six in the fifth: Like fish threaded one after another in a line, brought forward in orderly favor — nothing here works against you.
Nine at the top: One large fruit remains uneaten on the branch. A person of integrity is carried forward and supported; someone small-minded ends up tearing down their own house.
