旅 · Lǚ — Mindful Global Sojourner
King Wen Sequence #56 (旅 Lǚ — Mindful Global Sojourner) embodies brushfire moving swiftly across a high mountain crest. Assigned to the Li Fire Palace (离宫八卦 · Solar Radiance) · 一世卦 (World Line 1 / Response Line 4) and resonant with Summer Solstice Solar Zenith (夏至离火 · 芒种—大暑), its six-line binary vector (001101) pairs 艮 Gen (Stillness & Boundary) at the root with 离 Li (Clinging Radiance) at the crown.
《大象》:山上有火,旅;君子以明慎用刑,而不留獄。 | 《彖传》:旅,小亨,柔得中乎外,而順乎剛,止而麗乎明,是以小亨,旅貞吉也。旅之時義大矣哉!
Visual Archetype: traveler’s compass and passport seal. When Fire (Fire) interacts with Mountain (Earth), the primary strategic mandate centers on staying adaptable, respectful, and light-footed abroad. Its Polarity Opposite (Cuo Gua · 错卦) is #60 节 (Measured Rhythm & Boundaries), its Overturned Inverse (Zong Gua · 综卦) is #55 丰 (Zenith of Abundance), and its Nuclear Core (Hu Gua · 互卦) reveals #28 大过 (Extraordinary Burden).
