HEXAGRAM 15 – Ch’ien – Modesty
Above K´UN THE RECEPTIVE, EARTH
Below KEN KEEPING STILL, MOUNTAIN
This hexagram is made up of the trigrams
- Ken, Keeping Still, mountain, and
- K’un.
The mountain is the youngest son of the Creative, the representative of heaven on earth.
It
- dispenses the blessings of heaven, the clouds and rain that gather round its summit, and thereafter
- shines forth radiant with heavenly light.
This shows
- what modesty is and
- how it functions in great and strong men.
K’un, the earth, stands above.
Lowliness is a quality of the earth:
this is the very reason why it appears in this hexagram as exalted,
by being placed above the mountain.
This shows how modesty functions in lowly, simple people: they are lifted up by it.
THE JUDGEMENT
MODESTY creates success.
The superior man carries things through.
It is the law of heaven
- to make fullness empty and
- to make full what is modest;
-
when the sun is at its zenith,
- it must, according to the law of heaven, turn toward its setting, and
- it must, according to the law of heaven, turn toward its setting, and
-
at its nadir
- it rises toward a new dawn.
- it rises toward a new dawn.
In obedience to the same law,
the moon
- when it is full begins to wane, and
- when empty of light it waxes again.
This heavenly law works itself out in the fates of men also.
It is the law of earth
- to alter the full and
- to contribute to the modest.
- High mountains are worn down by the waters, and
- the valleys are filled up.
It is the law of fate
- to undermine what is full and
- to prosper the modest.
And men also
- hate fullness and
- love the modest.
The destinies of men are subject to immutable laws that must fulfill themselves.
But
man has it in his power to shape his fate,
according as his behavior exposes him to the influence of benevolent or of destructive forces.
When
- a man holds a high position and is nevertheless modest,
- he shines with the light of wisdom;
if
- he is in a lowly position and is modest,
- he cannot be passed by.
Thus the superior man
- can carry out his work to the end
- without boasting of what he has achieved.
THE IMAGE
Within the earth, a mountain: The image Of MODESTY.
Thus the superior man
- reduces that which is too much, And
- augments that which is too little.
He
- weighs things and
- makes them equal.
The wealth of the earth in which a mountain is hidden is not visible to the eye,
because the depths are offset by the height of the mountain.
Thus
high and low complement each other, and
the result is the plain.
Here an effect that it took a long time to achieve,
but that in the end seems easy of accomplishment and self-evident,
is used as the image of modesty.
The superior man does the same thing when he establishes order in the world;
he
- equalizes the extremes that are the source of social discontent and thereby
- creates just and equable conditions. 1
