Hexagram 31 — 咸 (Xián), Influence / Wooing
Above: ☱ 兑 Lake Below: ☶ 艮 Mountain
The Judgment
亨，利贞，取女吉。
Mutual attraction and resonance succeed — courtship, partnership and influence through receptivity.
The Image (Daxiang)
「山上有泽，咸；君子以虚受人。」A lake on the mountain — the noble person receives others with an open, empty mind.—— 《周易·大象传》（The Image Commentary）
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰：咸，感也。柔上而刚下，二气感应以相与，止而说，男下女，是以亨利贞，取女吉也。天地感而万物化生，圣人感人心而天下和平。观其所感，而天地万物之情可见矣！——《易传·彖传》

Mutual attraction — let feelings move, stay upright. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
