Hexagram 52 is named 艮 (gèn), “Bound”. Other variations include “keeping still, mountain” and “stilling”. Both its inner and outer trigrams are ☶ (艮 gèn) bound = (山) mountain.
Bound
Confucius/Legge:Keeping Still means stopping: One rests when it is time to rest, and acts when it is time to act. When action and rest occur at the proper times, one’s behavior is enlightened. Keeping his back still, he rests in his proper place. The upper and lower lines of the hexagram all mirror each other, but are without any interaction: Hence it is said that he has no consciousness of [ego]. He does not see the persons in his courtyard, and there will be no error.
