Don't rush to read the explanation yet. This hexagram is called "Dun" (遯), which means stepping back: Heaven above, Mountain below. The two broken lines at the bottom are slowly growing upward, while the four solid lines above step back outward, one place at a time. Look at how each of the six steps back.
