(ECRL 480-20) 旅客 Mt. Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines, with its frequent eruption producing mudslides, ash falls, and lava flows which have destructed several towns time and again. It has a perfect cone shape and it is best seen from the Cagsawa Ruins. Local folklore says that Mt. Mayon is named after a legendary heroine called Daragang Magayon, which means “beautiful lady.” "Make your home, your abode, where an angel would DESIRE to visit, where an angel would seek to be a guest."

the Judgment:

旅：小亨，旅貞吉。 

The Wanderer. Success through smallness.

Perseverance brings good fortune

To the wanderer.

Commentary on the Decision:

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！

“The Wanderer. Success through smallness”: the yielding attains the middle outside and submits to the firm.

Keeping still and adhering to clarity; hence success in small things.

“Perseverance brings good fortune to the wanderer.” The meaning of the time of the Wanderer is truly great.

the Image:

山上有火，旅；君子以明慎用刑，而不留獄。

Fire on the mountain:

The image of the Wanderer.

Thus the superior man

Is clear-minded and cautious

In imposing penalties,

And protracts no lawsuits.
