HEXAGRAM 44 – Kou – Coming to Meet

 

Above CH’IEN         THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN 

Below           SUN             THE GENTLE, WIND

 

This hexagram indicates a situation in which

the principle of darkness, after having been eliminated,

·         furtively and

·         unexpectedly

obtrudes again from

·         within and

·         below. 

 

Of its own accord the female principle comes to meet the male. 

 

It is an

·         unfavorable and

·         dangerous

situation, and

we must

·         understand and

·         promptly prevent

the possible consequences.

 

The hexagram is linked with the fifth month [June-July],

because at the summer solstice

the principle of darkness gradually becomes ascendant again.

 

 

THE JUDGMENT

 

COMING TO MEET. 

The maiden is powerful. 

One should not marry such a maiden.

 

The rise of the inferior element is pictured here in the image of

·         a bold girl who

·         lightly surrenders herself

and thus

·         seizes power. 

 

This would not be possible if the

·         strong and

·         light-giving element

had not in turn come halfway. 

 

The inferior thing seems so

·         harmless and

·         inviting

that a man delights in it;

it looks so

·         small and

·         weak

that he imagines he may

·         dally with it and

·         come to no harm.

 

The inferior man rises only because the superior man

·         does not regard him as dangerous

and so

·         lends him power. 

 

If

·         he were resisted from the first,

·         he could never gain influence.

 

The time of COMING TO MEET is important in still another way. 

 

Although as a general rule

the weak should not come to meet the strong,

there are times when

this has great significance. 

 

·         When heaven and earth come to meet each other,

o   all creatures prosper;

·         when a prince and his official come to meet each other,

o   the world is put in order. 

 

It is necessary for elements predestined to be

·         joined and

·         mutually dependent

to come to meet one another halfway. 

 

·         But the coming together

o   must be free of dishonest ulterior motives,

·         otherwise

o   harm will result.

 

 

THE IMAGE

 

Under heaven, wind: The image Of COMING TO MEET.

Thus does the prince act when

·         disseminating his commands And

·         proclaiming them to the four quarters of heaven.

 

The situation here resembles that in hexagram 20, Kuan, CONTEMPLATION (VIEW). 

 

·         In the latter the wind blows over the earth,

·         here it blows under heaven;

in both cases it goes everywhere. 

 

·         There the wind is on the earth and

o   symbolizes the ruler taking note of the conditions in his kingdom;

·         here the wind blows from above and

o   symbolizes the influence exercised by the ruler through his commands.

 

·         Heaven is far from the things of earth, but

o   it sets them in motion by means of the wind. 

 

·         The ruler is far from his people,

but

·         he sets them in motion by means of his

o   commands and

o   decrees.
