Hexagram 40 is named 解 (xiè), “Taking-Apart”. Other variations include “deliverance” and “untangled”. Its inner trigram is ☵ (坎 kǎn) gorge = (水) water, and its outer trigram is ☳ (震 zhèn) shake = (雷) thunder.
Taking-Apart
Confucius/Legge: Liberation shows the trigram of Movement above the trigram of Danger — through movement there is an escape from peril. An early movement to the southwest wins the allegiance of the masses and returns the state to normalcy and equilibrium. When heaven and earth are freed from the grasp of winter, we have thunder and rain. When these come, the buds of the fruit-producing vegetation begin to open. Great indeed are the phenomena in the time of Liberation.
