Commentary

Heaven stored within the mountain gives way to the lake rising above heaven — Breakthrough. Crown Prince Fusu is sent out to the distant frontier, exiled from the capital. Sycophants and favorites twist what is right into wrong, forging false decrees that breed calamity. A mother's kindness cannot reach her son — the road between them is severed. According to tradition, Fusu was the virtuous eldest son of the First Emperor of Qin, banished to the northern border for remonstrating against the burning of books. After the emperor's death, Zhao Gao forged an edict ordering Fusu's suicide. From Great Taming to Breakthrough, the mountain's stored heaven should burst free through decisive action. Instead, the breakthrough is corrupted: the wrong people break through to power, and the righteous heir is cut down.
