4. Méng 蒙

Above is the trigram Gen (Mountain), below is the trigram Kan (Water). The metaphorical image of this hexagram is a child that has just been born. As they say in China: 'When a child is born, they are in a state of immaturity. It is the initial period of development. Although there is a lot of energy, it boils and seethes, the organism is still small and weak, and, when faced with difficulties, its attention is easily scattered, which is dangerous'.
Each of us, finding ourselves in a new and unfamiliar situation, is like such a child, whose mind is pure and ignorant. This is a natural state, which should not be fought against or pretended that everything is known, otherwise any unjustified movement or action will lead to unpredictable consequences, which are unlikely to be favorable. The image of a pure and open-minded child, ready for knowledge, will help you better understand the meaning of this omen.
On the other hand, we live by learning about the surrounding world, and beyond the boundaries of the known lies our ignorance. Therefore, by knowing our ignorance, we strengthen knowledge. If there are no boundaries between the known and the unknown, we are like a blind person for whom any road leads into darkness. Only the knowledge of our ignorance can lead to wisdom.
This is a time to abandon distrust of the unknown and allow a more experienced person to guide you. Gen (Mountain) symbolizes knowledge, and Kan (Water) – the journey. Together they signify your path to great achievements, provided you know how to be a good student. Show humility, and you will find that you attract the attention of a great teacher who will be receptive to your needs.
You may have to become a mentor to someone younger and less experienced than you, and in this case, you need to cultivate patience, care, and consistency in yourself, and sincerity and willingness to learn in your student.
