Overview

The Daxue states: "Cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world." So how does one "regulate the family"? The Xiangzhuan's answer is: "Men and women in their proper roles." The man should govern the household with dignity, like the top nine line in the Jiaren hexagram, while the woman should manage matters of food and drink in the home, like the six in the second place. When men and women each attend to their own duties, each is keeping to what is proper for them.
