"He lends grace to his toes, leaves the carriage, and walks."

The first line of hexagram 22 suggests initial, cautious steps toward adornment or improvement, possibly beginning with minor or superficial aspects. There’s a warning not to overextend—focus on small beginnings rather than trying to embellish too quickly or too much. The idea of leaving the carriage (a symbol of external status) and walking implies starting on your own, modest path, without relying on external support.
