Song 39. Jian (Obstacles, Hardship)
(fourth incarnation)
(18 pieces, I Ching hexagram structure)
(past = present = future)
Jian, I Ching hexagram #39, represents obstacles, hardship.
Symbolized by water upon or held back by a mountain,
this hexagram implies difficulties that might slow down
progress, but also provide a chance to grow strong because
of the effort required to overcome those difficulties.
Correct persistence ultimately leads to improved fortune.
