Pushing Upward · Di Feng Sheng
Pushing Upward — the climb made by small, steady, well-placed steps.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 46 is the wood growing upward out of the earth — progress through accumulated effort rather than leaps. Present yourself to the right people, work without arrogance, and let each small success be the footing for the next. The ascent is steady and will not be stopped.
Structure of the hexagram
