“八卦”之一，画为“☶”。“艮”又为“六十四卦”之一，由两个三画的“艮”卦组成，画为“䷳”。在“八卦”系统中，“艮”卦的基本象征意义是山。山峦静止，故有终止、成就万物之义。“艮”卦由一个阳爻和两个阴爻组成，属于阳卦，在人伦领域象征男性。“艮”卦中的阳爻居于上位，象征家中最小的儿子。
This is one of the eight trigrams, bundled together in the shape of ☶. It is also one of the 64 hexagrams, composed of two trigrams like this ䷳. In the eighttrigram system, it symbolizes the mountain. The mountain is still, meaning that everything can be brought to a conclusion and gets what it is supposed to obtain. The term is composed of one unbroken line and two broken lines. It is considered a yang trigram and symbolizes the male. As the unbroken line lies above the two broken lines, it is considered to stand for the youngest son of a family.
