I Ching: Hexagram 59 (Huan)

above SUN THE GENTLE, WIND
below K'AN THE ABYSMAL, WATER


Wind blowing over water disperses it, dissolving it into foam and mist. This suggests that when a man's vital energy is dammed up within him (indicated as a danger by the attribute of the lower trigram), gentleness serves to break up and dissolve the blockage.
