The Book of ChangesNo.fifty-sevenThe hexagram, with the wind rising above and falling below, spreads throughout the world and reaches all directions.

Hexagram revelation:The wind is formless and formless, yet it can penetrate all things, penetrating every inch. When faced with hardness, it winds around; when faced with softness, it flows smoothly, displaying a power that is gentle and effortless. The Feng hexagram symbolizes depth, obedience, humility, and flexibility. It reminds us to emulate the virtue of the wind: integrate into the environment with a humble and gentle posture, respond to changes in a flexible and agile way, and continuously strive to penetrate the goal. Strong and easy to break, gentle and persistent, good at communication, listening and adaptation, only then can we be invincible like the wind and reach all directions.

A thousand strokes and ten thousand strikes still remain strong, allowing the wind to blow in all directions.
