  • Inner (lower) trigram is ☵ (:|: 坎 kan3) Gorge = (水) water
  • Outer (upper) trigram is ☰ (||| 乾 qian2) Force = (天) heaven
  • The skeletal form of hexagram 06 is described by analogy to the under-exaggerated properties of hexagram 58 Lake : Self-Reflection, Intensity in Expression. (the self-reflection is both literal as well as metaphoric, and so contains the element of issues with self-promotion)
  • The trigrams can be read bottom to top as "With containment (water in lower) comes singlemindedness (heaven in upper)"
  • The analogy of the completeness of hexagram 06 is made to the general characteristics of hexagram 21 where we cover issues of problem solving through creation of laws, rules etc. As such the 'law' is usually a form of compromise to cover excesses; where that compromise in some circumstances can be in the form of capital punishment.
