Sòng (訟) — Conflict

Heaven above Water — two forces with genuine claims moving in opposite directions. The Judgment is direct: "Do not push this to its conclusion." Conflict prosecuted to the end exhausts both parties even when one prevails. The structural advice is to find where compromise is possible and take it, to bring in a mediator, to stop before the point of no return. Rightness alone doesn't guarantee outcome.
