Commentary

Heaven above the mountain swells into wind over thunder — Increase, where benefit flows downward from above. A glue-coated carriage drives east and meets rain on the road. The five leather axle-wrappings dissolve and fall away; the yoke snaps, and the traveler is stranded overnight, worrying that this mishap will bring lasting harm. Glue cannot withstand water — the material was wrong for the conditions. From Retreat to Increase, the mountain's withdrawal should generate beneficial flow. But the verse shows increase gone wrong: the rain that should nourish instead destroys the carriage's bindings. The traveler prepared inadequately, using materials that dissolve under pressure. Increase demands readiness; the retreating figure who rushes back into the world with makeshift preparations finds his vehicle falling apart at the first test.
