Hexagram 48 — 井 (Jǐng), The Well
Above: ☵ 坎 Water Below: ☴ 巽 Wind
The Judgment
改邑不改井，无丧无得，往来井井。汔至亦未繘井，羸其瓶，凶。
The well — a dependable source that nourishes all; draw carefully and finish the work, or the jug breaks.
The Image (Daxiang)
「木上有水，井；君子以劳民劝相。」Water above the wood — the noble person labors for the people and encourages mutual aid.—— 《周易·大象传》（The Image Commentary）
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰：巽乎水而上水，井；井养而不穷也。改邑不改井，乃以刚中也。汔至亦未繘井，未有功也。羸其瓶，是以凶也。——《易传·彖传》

In Plain Terms
Be the reliable well — finish what you draw. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
