大壯 → 既濟

Commentary

Thunder above heaven watches as grain stalks breed their own destroyers: caterpillars and borers infest the crop, the harvest consuming itself from within. The pests 'return to rob their own host,' a phrase that suggests parasitism so complete that the organism kills what sustains it. The result: total loss, nothing gained. From Great Power to After Completion, water sits above fire in Jiji — everything in its proper place, all tasks accomplished. The transformation is bitterly ironic: completion should mean harvest gathered and stored, but the pests have already consumed the yield. The structure is perfect; the content is devoured. Power that breeds its own parasites achieves a hollow completion — the form of success emptied of substance.
