KUN in Chinese

I CHING

HEXAGRAM @ all YIN, no YANG

Iching-hexagram-02.svg

Hexagram 2 is named 坤 (kūn), "Field". Other variations include "the receptive", "acquiescence", and "the flow". Its inner (lower) trigram is ☷ (坤 kūn) field = (地) earth, and its outer (upper) trigram is identical. (wikipedia)

K'UN

Benefit is in expecting changes. Only having realized necessity and inevitability of cataclysms during transition from one state to another, it is possible to man and overcome difficulties – stop dawdling and spinning the wheels.

K'UN

General: Be receptive to words of advice or influence from those who are worthy of respect. This is a sign of strength, not weakness.....

K'un is pure yin energy. K'un indicates a time that you will benefit from listening to the advice of others whom you respect and trust. Listening to their advice is the only way you will make progress at this time. If you make the mistake of disregarding the advice or not even bothering to listen in the first place then your plans will come to nothing. There will be no progress.

https://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/titles.html

chan = represents childish/immature qualities, kun = slightly older and more mature than chan but still used by a superior to refer to someone inferior

thats what i got from it at least, maybe someone with actual knowledge of its use in japanese language/culture can chime in
