Exact classical source
山下有火，贲。君子以明庶政，无敢折狱。
Yarrow editorial translation. Fire below the mountain: Grace. Thus the noble person clarifies ordinary affairs but does not dare decide legal cases.

A Clear Picture Is Not a Verdict
Read Hexagram 22 Bi as light that clarifies ordinary facts but cannot carry the full weight of a serious judgment.
䷕
Hexagram 22 · Bi · Grace
This page studies a supplied Xiang image. It does not claim this hexagram was cast for the modern scene.
Source image
Fire lights the face of a mountain and reveals its surface, but the light does not expose everything inside it.
Concrete tension
A polished chart has made a serious decision feel settled even though the underlying evidence has not received an independent challenge.
Visible modern action
Split one page into FACTS and JUDGMENT. Put only observable evidence under FACTS, leave JUDGMENT blank, and ask a second reviewer to challenge the evidence before any decision.
Why this action comes from this source
The source permits light to clarify ordinary affairs while withholding the power to decide a grave case. The divided page lets presentation illuminate facts, and the blank judgment plus second review preserves that exact limit.
Reflection question
Where are you mistaking visual clarity for a justified verdict?
Audience value
Caring: it protects the person affected by a decision from having polished presentation substituted for careful judgment.
Source boundary
The Chinese quotation is checked against Yarrow's bundled Yang Tiancai and Zhang Shanwen source text. Where that OCR witness substitutes a character, the page discloses the raw reading and checks the correction against a second classical witness. The English translation, objects, tension, and action are modern Yarrow editorial work. This is not a fresh cast, prediction, or promised outcome.
