Youthful Folly

Hexagram 4 of the Yi Jing · Méng

The figure

Mountain above Water: stillness set over danger, the spring welling at the foot of the mountain. The image of what does not yet know — and can learn.

What this figure illuminates

Youthful Folly lights up inexperience: not a fault, but a state to pass through. You don't learn by pretending to know, but by accepting not to know and seeking the right question.

For a decision, the figure invites you to recognize where you lack experience, and to seek counsel without dissolving into it. “What do I not yet know, and from whom can I truly learn?”.

A question to keep

Where would you gain by admitting you don't yet know?
