Overview

The Xici says: "Things gather according to kind, people separate into groups." The Cui hexagram speaks of the way of gathering together. However, gathering by kind alone is merely a natural law; only when people gather through genuine feeling does it become a joyful matter, as the Tuanzhuan states: "Compliant and pleased, the firm holds the center and finds response, thus they gather.
