Don't rush to read the explanations yet. This hexagram is called 「臨」 (Lin): earth above, a lake below, like a shore pressing right up against the water. In the last lesson's Guan hexagram, the two solid lines sat at the very top; in this one, they have dropped to the very bottom. Look at the six figures. How does each one move closer to others?
