Hexagram 23 describes what is being stripped — the structure, position, or relationship losing its skin. The counsel runs against instinct: do not prop up what is peeling. Bad influence advances when good people exhaust themselves patching. Keep what is essential — the seed — and let the husk fall.
Cut the dying product, the expired role, the sunk project. Protect the kernel: your skill, your people, your reputation.
Some things in the bond are falling away. Distinguish what is dying from what must be protected — and stop patching the husk.

Stop patching what is peeling. Identify the one thing worth saving, secure it, and allow the rest to fall this season.
