☴ Wind (xùn or sun), the movement of air, which is one of the five Chinese elements. The trigram represents the gentle and obedient, but also the ground, which is where the wind is felt and shows its power. The lines it consists of speak about it in their symbolic way. Two Yang (heavenly) lines above one Yin (earthly). The great powers from above affect everything on earth. As science has progressed, we have learned it is indeed the case, more so than anyone in antiquity could fathom. Towards this magnitude, what can we be but obedient? Still, the wind mainly expresses itself rather gently, not to mention its own invisible shape. So, it is in itself a symbol of the gentle. It's also obedient, in the way it usually rounds any object — except for when in rage. The Chinese character has the same meaning of modest and obedient. It also stands for the direction southeast.
