Groups the six line commentaries, Line 1 through Line 6, for the hexagram this atlas labels The Gentle: gentle, penetrating influence, wind that works change by persistence rather than force. Belongs here: only the six line readings belonging to this specific hexagram, read bottom to top. Does not belong here: the line readings of any of the other sixty-three hexagrams, each grouped under its own heading; the hexagram overview entity of the same name, a separate entity describing the hexagram as a whole rather than this line-grouping heading.
