The I Ching Speaks!



     59.  Huan / Dispersion [Dissolution]

          ----------
          ----------     above     Sun    The Gentle, Wind
          ---- ----
          ---- ----
          ----------     below     K'an   The Abysmal, Water
          ---- ----

     The Judgement

          Dispersion. Success.
          The king approaches his temple.
          It furthers one to cross the great water.
          Perseverance furthers.

     The Image

          The wind drives over the water:
          The image of Dispersion.
          Thus the kings of old sacrificed to the Lord
          And built temples.

     The Lines

          Six at the beginning means:
          He brings help with the strength of a horse.
          Good fortune.

          Six in the third place means:
          He dissolves his self. No remorse.


     9.   Hsiao Ch'u / The Taming Power of the Small

          ----------
          ----------     above     Sun    The Gentle, Wind
          ---- ----
          ----------
          ----------     below     Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven
          ----------

     The Judgement

          The Taming Power of the Small
          Has success.
          Dense clouds, no rain from our western region.

     The Image

          The wind drives across heaven:
          The image of the Taming Power of the Small.
          Thus the superior man
          Refines the outward aspect of his nature.
