The Book of ChangesNo.twenty-threeThe hexagram represents the phenomenon of mountains attached to the earth.

Hexagram revelation: Mountains are attached to the ground, and high mountains gradually peel off due to loose foundations,Like the collapse of mountains and the sinking of the earth，Revealing the natural laws of things transitioning from prosperity to decline.Be wary of quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes,Warning: The accumulation of small hidden dangers can become a major problem.butIn the hexagramalsoThe implicit dialectical approach: Although peeling off is a sign of decline, it is also the beginning of a new life. Just as soil is eroded by wind and rain, nurturing fertile soil hides the opportunity for transformation.When dealing with changes with a gentle attitude, timely removing redundancy and retaining the core foundation,Consolidate and cultivate oneself in turmoil, and wait for the dawn in darkness. Hide your strength and bide your time, and act accordingly.

Amidst the surging waves, neither joy nor fear. ——Tao Yuanming《Xingying Shen How to translate
