"[with guidance comes discernment]. Below mountain there is fire : [Facade]. One uses [the guidance/awareness] of the many regulations rather than dare to stop legal proceedings."
Class: Differentiating
In hexagram 22 we find that facades can be important for social survival, but one must be weary of mistaking them for reality; There is at times a tendency to suck-out the inner light to prop up the outer. The context gives us the linking of words with facts (15) in the correct order (63) and thus establishing an attractive 'look' or attitude; linking things together generates 'value'. There is a focus on exaggeration, to over-emphasise to make a point or to hide a point, to gloss over etc.
Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Fire reflects Distribution. The trigram of Mountain reflect Filtration-through-discernment. Distribution through Filtration is here expressed in the form of adornment, facading, gloss-over.
Goal of 22 - hexagram 52 (or 'how do I 52? - 22')
22 is the goal of 18 (or 'how do I 22? - 18' How do I facade, gloss over, beautify? Through correcting of corruption (restoration of beauty etc))
The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 36. The base line position is described by analogy with hexagram 15 modesty/levelling. It goes through hexagram 63 Sequencing/Completing before reaching here.

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 36. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 36 as context.
It is important to remember that, when using transformative methods, the more lines requiring change, the more energy required when attempting to introduce a different context. It may therefore be of benefit to work on existing changing lines and achieve your goal in steps rather than attempt, for example, a six-line change all at once.
To 'go with the flow', any hexagram that is changing into hexagram 56 reflects an influence of 22 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 22 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 22.
