HEX 48 : CHING / THE WELL
(K'AN: Water, dangerous | SUN: Wind, gentle)
The town may move, but the well cannot.
Its level is constant, though they come to draw water. Misfortune if the rope
be too short or the jug broken. Water over wood. The superior one inspires
the people to work and help each other. [2nd=9] A hole in the well where water and fish
escape. Water leaks from the cracked jug. [5th=9] A well with cool clear drinking water. [Top=6] An open
well, like the sincerity that brings good fortune.
HEX 52 : KEN / STILLNESS
(KEN: Mountain, still | KEN: Mountain, still)
Back still, unaware of the body. Noticing
no one in the courtyard. No blame. Mountain upon mountain. The superior one
dwells in the present.
