Overview

Li Bai, in his "Preface to the Spring Night Banquet at the Peach and Plum Garden," said: "Heaven and earth are the inn of all things." Indeed, in the long river of history, everyone is like a passing traveler, temporarily lodging in one time and one place. Thus, the Lü (Travel) hexagram, at its top yang line, presents the image of "a bird burning its nest." This image, on a smaller scale, signifies what is lost during travel; on a larger scale, it truly represents the ultimate end of human life.
