变爻解读 Interpretation
解读层 / Interpretation layer: Dao Oracle reflective commentary, not direct classical quotation.
初爻变动，困坐在枯木之下，迷入幽暗的山谷，三年不见天日。困境到了极深之处，一时半刻无法脱身。变为兑卦（重兑），暗示即使在最深的困苦中，内心的喜悦终将回归。
The first line changing: sitting oppressed under a bare tree, straying into a dark valley, seeing nothing for three years. The predicament is at its deepest — escape is not immediate. Transforming into The Joyous suggests that even in the deepest suffering, inner joy will eventually return.
