Don't rush to read the explanations yet. This hexagram is called "Gen (艮)", which means to stop: a mountain above, and a mountain below as well. Just like the Xian hexagram in Lesson 7, the six lines from bottom to top are again one person's body, from the toes up to the cheeks and jaw. See how each part stops.
