The Well. Here we have a clear indication of the value in reading the hexagrams in creation order rather than canonical order. The received text puts Jing, the Well, right after it's bitwise complement, Oppression. But there is likewise a complementary nature from Ji Ji, Detumesence to Jing, the Well, from the decreasing flow to that which is endlessly self-renewed.
I am less inclined to go with the received text after a quick look at the Mawangdui. Also, what we think of as a well is typically only the man-made interface to an unseen river or lake. There is much to reflect on in this hexagram, and the received text, longer for this than many other hexagrams, seems to be trying a bit too hard.
One can change the town
But one cannot change the well.
This seems, to me, the central point, know what you can change, what you rely on to endure beyond your superficial, surface level changes. Know your source. And have a mind that you take care of the tools for drawing from that source, too short a rope or a broken jug might as well be a dry well.
Soon it will change.
