Today's hexagram:Di Shan Qian（䷎）

The Book of ChangesfifteenHexagram, up Kun (earth) and down Gen (mountain), there are mountains in the earth, humble and honorable.

Hexagram revelation: The towering mountains are hidden beneath the earth, symbolizingThe humble essence of 'the high self restrain'. The earth bears the mountains without being humble, and the mountains hide the earth without being proud. In this era of advocating publicity, humility is not about giving in, but about carrying the heart of all things like the earth and the hidden confidence like mountains. True humility is always a dual proof of strength and cultivation. Maintaining humility in the workplace and respecting others in interpersonal relationships can lead to smooth sailing and a successful ending. Humility is not only a moral cultivation, but also a wisdom that leads to success.

Humble bamboo has drooping leaves, while proud plum has no upturned flowers.
