I just wished to share this analysis of Tun hexagram, which I found in a movie series, The Virtuous Queen of Han, episode 21.
The empress is pregnant and has some health problems. As she consults the oracle related to her decision to go on with
her pregnancy, she gets Tun hexagram. In a dialogue with the emperor we see her analysis of it related to her context:


"Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen are the for core values in the Book of Changes. The gathering of all four virtues indicate the start of life.

Tun hexagram, initial difficulty. Obstacles met in action. All shall be resolved.

Although there are difficulties, there are more possibilities of success. Obstacles are hard to overcome, but once overcome, it is a path to success. This is a sign of great omen.

 [...]

I believe that this pregnancy will be the same as this hexagram reading."

Thank you for sharing. It is all the more interesting as the interpretation of the hexagram is revealed in a movie.

It’s completely wrong. Tun/hexagram 33 is retreat and carries no expectation of success.

The comments fit with hexagram 3, Initial difficulty, Chun (Wilhelm).

The name of the hexagram is wrongly spelled. It refers to Zhun, hex 3, whose sentence presents the four virtues together (yuan heng li zhen).
