Dwelling People

Hexagram 37 is named 家人 (jiā rén), “Dwelling People”. Other variations include “the family (the clan)” and “family members”. Its inner trigram is ☲ (離 lí) radiance = (火) fire, and its outer trigram is ☴ (巽 xùn) ground = (風) wind.

Confucius/Legge: In Family the wife is in her correct place in the lower trigram, and the husband in his correct place in the upper. That spouses occupy their correct positions shows the correct relationship between heaven and earth. The parents rule the family: let the father indeed be father, and the son son; let the elder brother be indeed elder brother, and the younger brother younger; let the husband indeed be husband, and the wife wife — then the family will be in its correct state. Bring the family to that state, and all under heaven will be established.
