Tongren Hexagram

The term "doujin" (同人) in contemporary Japanese popular culture can also refer to non-commercial artistic groups. Whether they are obsessed with anime, cosplay, or niche electronic music, they come together because of pure passion and call their published works "doujinshi" (同人志). This kind of "doujin" born from interest, though unrelated to profit, possesses the most primal and fervent joy. However, upon closer examination, it's not hard to find that the lines 93 and 94 in the hexagram reflect the inevitable situation that arises after people get to know each other deeply: suspicion and defensiveness arising from conflicting opinions or interests in interpersonal relationships.
