The hexagram means freshness, like early morning
or a cool mountain
spring, or renewal after a sound sleep.
It relates particularly to the freshness of
spirit in children and
their capacity to re-invigorate a jaded adult. An adult finds a child’s
freshness irresistibly charming, though it can be challenging when the
adult is tired.
The freshness of youth can be expressed as
fearless idealism and wild romanticism, ever ready to take risks and
fall in love.
The hexagram also relates to the assistance given
by an adult,
established in the world, to a dependant child. The parent provides a
secure environment for the child to play and develop and guides the
child towards eventual independent adulthood.
