The Well
Hexagram 48 of the Yi Jing · 井 Jǐng
The figure
Water above Wind: water drawn from the depths by the wood, the spring rising. The image of the well, of what nourishes without running out.
What this figure illuminates
The Well lights up what remains and nourishes beneath the change of situations. The source does not move; it is for us to go and draw from it, and to keep it clean.
For a decision, the figure questions your lasting resources: “beneath the agitation, what is the source I can always return to — and am I tending it?”.
A question to keep
