Image of I Ching hexagram 10. ...
Inner (lower) trigram is ☱ (||: 兌 dui4) Open = (澤) swamp
Outer (upper) trigram is ☰ (||| 乾 qian2) Force = (天) heaven
The skeletal form of hexagram 10 is described by analogy to the under-exaggerated properties of hexagram 47 - Enclosure (forced - supports the focus in 10 on following a path whilst being scrutinised and so the need for 'conduct').
The trigrams can be read bottom to top as "With self-reflection (lake in lower) comes singlemindedness (heaven in upper)"
The analogy of the completeness of hexagram 10 is made to the general characteristics of hexagram 50 where we cover issues of transformation, going through some process that takes us from the raw to the refined.
I Chinghexagram39, depicted :::: is named 蹇 (jian3), Limping.
The following material is drawn from analysis of the binary sequence of the hexagrams where the hexagrams are derived from recursion of yin/yang and so showing a property of the method - the hexagrams are all linked together and contribute to the expression of, the description of, each hexagram.
The skeletal form of hexagram39 is described by analogy to the under-exaggerated properties of hexagram37 where we have a generic focus on rigid structure.
