All the hexagram lines are auspicious or beneficial, which is rare in the *Book of Changes*, highlighting the importance of humility. Mountains should be above ground, but in this hexagram, the mountain is underground, not breaking the surface. The trigram of Gen (mountain) symbolizes sincerity and steadfastness, while the trigram of Kun (earth) symbolizes obedience. This represents humility and gentleness through yielding and not competing with others, being sincere and obedient to others. However, this hexagram also carries the meaning of \"being suppressed.\" In today's highly competitive society, being rejected or suppressed is also common. Therefore, this hexagram indicates that when suppressed, one should be patient, and better development will naturally follow when one's luck changes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":6924,"menu_order":15,"template":"","class_list":["post-6923","fortune-sticks","type-fortune-sticks","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fortune-sticks\/6923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fortune-sticks"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fortune-sticks"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
