Standstill, Stagnation. Evil people do not further
The perseverance of the superior one.
The great departs; the small approaches.

Heaven and earth do not unite:
The image of Standstill.
Thus the superior one falls back upon their inner worth
In order to escape the difficulties.
They do not permit themself to be honored with revenue.
