Hexagram 17 honors the art of following. To adapt to the times, to serve a person or course worth serving, is strength with its coat off. The text adds the deciding rule: follow what has substance, and stay loyal through the evening as you were at noon. Random flexibility is just drifting.
Adapt to the market, the client, the new boss — genuinely, not sycophantically. Serving a real wave beats paddling your own circle.
Let the other lead sometimes. Flexibility inside loyalty is the whole technology of staying together.
Adapt to the season of the household — the teenager's rhythm, the elder's pace — without losing your own center.
Choose deliberately whom or what you follow this season, then follow it properly — half-following is the only failure here.
