It is one of the eight hexagrams in which doubling occurs.<\/strong> The trigram K\u2019an means a plunging in. A yang line has plunged in between two yin lines and is closed in by the like water in a ravine. The trigram K\u2019an is also the middle son. The Receptive has obtained the middle line of the Creative, and thus K\u2019an develops. As an image it represents water, the water that comes from above and is in motion on earth in streams and rivers, giving rise to all life on earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In man\u2019s world K\u2019an represents the heart, the soul locked up within the body, the principle of light inclosed in the dark that is, reason.<\/strong> The name of the hexagram, because the trigram is doubled, has the additional meaning, \u201crepetition of danger.\u201d Thus the hexagram is intended to designate an objective situation to which one must become accustomed, not a subjective attitude. For danger due to a subjective attitude means either foolhardiness or guile. Hence too a ravine is used to symbolise danger; it is a situation in which a man is in the same pass as the water in a ravine, and, like the water, he can escape if he behaves correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trigram above K\u2019AN \u2013 The Abysmal, Water The trigram below K\u2019AN \u2013 The Abysmal, Water General:\u00a0Only when you learn from danger will you triumph over it.
