Hexagra Sequence
Hexagram Note:
Keeping Still (Mountain): Reflects stillness, patience, and contemplation. It advises staying grounded, maintaining composure, and seeking inner clarity through meditation and introspection.
Hexagram 52 – Gèn (Keeping Still / Mountain)
Mountain over Mountain — Gèn above Gèn
Judgment
Gèn: Keep your back still; do not extend yourself.
Walk in your courtyard, but do not see others.
No misfortune.
Commentary on the Judgment (Tuàn)
Gèn means “to stop.”
Stop when the time to stop comes; move when the time to move comes.
By observing the proper times for action and stillness, the way remains bright.
“Keep your back still” — stay in your proper place.
The upper and lower lines are in opposition and do not harmonize;
thus one does not extend oneself.
Walking in your courtyard without seeing others — this brings no misfortune.
Commentary on the Image (Xiàng)
“Two mountains together”—this is Keeping Still.
The noble one, seeing this,
reflects and does not exceed his proper station.
