Judgment 卦辞
小亨，旅贞吉。小亨，旅貞吉。
Lu intimates that (in the condition which it denotes) there may be some little attainment and progress. If the stranger or traveller be firm and correct as he ought to be, there will be good fortune.
Commentary on the Judgment 彖曰
旅，小亨，柔得中乎外，而顺乎刚，止而丽乎明，是以小亨，旅贞吉也。旅之时义大矣哉！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！
