Treading

Hexagram 10 is named 履 (lǚ), “Treading”. Other variations include “treading (conduct)” and “continuing”. Its inner trigram is ☱ (兌 duì) open = (澤) swamp, and its outer trigram is ☰ (乾 qián) force = (天) heaven.

Confucius/Legge: In Cautious Advance we have the symbol of Weakness treading on that of Strength. The lower trigram indicates Pleasure and Satisfaction, and responds to the upper indicating Strength. Hence it is said, “He treads on the tail of a tiger.” The fifth line is dynamic, in the center, and in his correct place. He occupies the God-given position, and falls into no distress or failure — his action will be brilliant.
