第39卦 蹇 Jiǎn
Obstruction
Upper 上卦 kan · Lower 下卦 gen · Changing line 动爻 3
"Water on the mountain: the path is closed, the detour is the path."
山上有水，见险而止。
Impeded going: the direct route is blocked and pressing it is lame. Turn back, gather allies, seek the great person southwest — the obstacle is instruction.
险在前也，见险而能止，知矣。利西南，利见大人；反身修德，蹇可济。
体 · 用 — the day's essential qi and its acting agent
体 (Ti) — 坎 Water
Day-qi element: Water · abysmal depth
用 (Yong) — 艮 Mountain
Changing line 3 sits here · still restraint
Per-line commentary (384 texts) is a phase-2 addition — until then, the changing line's position and its 体/用 role is already a real, traditional reading. How this is calculated →

Want to read the Yi Jing yourself — not just check the daily hexagram?
