#50 鼎
Hexagram 50: The Sacrificial Vessel (Ding)

Out with the old, in with the new; the ancient sages took great care in discerning when the moment of metamorphosis arrives. That's why in the known traditional Yi sequence, #50 comes after #49 "Revolution".

It is only when a certain "resource" has been fully exhausted (a situation; sentiment, regrets, baggage; a bad stomach; people and their natures; contracts; sudden occurrences; societal structures; your homework, etc etc) does change gonna come.
