节卦象征节制和限度，泽上有水——水位有边界不可无限上涨。卦辞"亨，苦节不可贞"道出核心：适度节制带来通达，过于苛刻的限制不可坚持。六四"安节亨"是最理想状态——安然接受合理限制。九五"甘节吉"更进一步——甘心自我约束是最高境界。核心：中庸的节制是美德，但不可偏执到极端。
Limitation represents moderation and boundaries. The judgment "success; galling limitation must not be persevered in" delivers core wisdom: moderate limitation brings success, but excessive restriction kills vitality. "Contented limitation" is the ideal; "sweet limitation" is the highest state. Core: balanced moderation is a virtue but don't become extreme.
