  • Inner (lower) trigram is ☵ (:|: 坎 kan3) Gorge = (水) water
  • Outer (upper) trigram is ☶ (::| 艮 gen4) Bound = (山) mountain
  • The skeletal form of hexagram 04 is described by analogy to the under-exaggerated properties of hexagram 19 - Approach the 'high', defer to the 'low'. This reflecting the emphasis in the traditional text of seeking a teacher and of taking on a 'mask' of socialisation
