I Ching - Accomplished Kua(Fu Hsi): 14 [Water over Lake]

Commentary
David Maple-Green	[entry]
B.G.W	Water, element of the deeps, weighs down upon itself (Lake), generating internal pressure. This Accomplished Kua counsels self-imposedlimitations such as thrift, sef-discipline or control of emotions.
A.H.	Originally, "Jie" indicated a joint, or node, of a stalk of bamboo. Because these nodes delimit sections of stalk, its meaning extended to "set the bounds." Setting boundaries means to restrict, and from restricting came the meanings "to limit", "to restrain", "to economize" or "to save." Restricting. Prosperous and smooth. Not appropriate to be steadfast In bitter restriction.
E.L.S	Moderation: Receipt. Withered moderation; One may not determine.
Cymraeg	Atalfa, Caethiwed, Cyfyngiad
