巽為木，為風，為長女，為繩直，為工，為白，為長，為高，為進退，為不果，為臭。	Xun suggests the idea of wood; of wind; of the oldest daughter; of a plumb-line; of a carpenter's square; of being white; of being long; of being lofty; of advancing and receding; of want of decision; and of strong scents. It suggests in the human body, the idea of deficiency of hair; of a wide forehead; of a large development of the white of the eye.
其於人也，為寡髮，為廣顙，為多白眼，為近利市三倍，其究為躁卦。	(Among tendencies), it suggests the close pursuit of gain, even to making three hundred per cent in the market.
	In the end it may become the trigram of decision.
