HEXAGRAM 30 – Li – THE CLINGING, FIRE
Above LI THE CLINGING, FIRE
Below LI THE CLINGING, FIRE
This hexagram is another double sign.
The trigram Li means
- ¨to cling to something,”
- “to be conditioned,
- to depend or rest on something,” and also
- “brightness”.
A dark line clings to two light lines,
- one above and
- one below –
the image of an empty space between two strong lines,
whereby the two strong lines are made bright.
The trigram represents the middle daughter.
The Creative has incorporated the central line of the Receptive, and thus
Li develops.
As an image, it is fire.
Fire
- has no definite form but
- clings to the burning object and thus
is bright.
As water pours down from heaven,
so fire flames up from the earth.
- While K’an means the soul shut within the body,
- Li stands for nature in its radiance.
THE JUDGMENT
THE CLINGING.
Perseverance furthers.
It brings success.
Care of the cow brings good fortune.
What is dark clings
- to what is light and so
- enhances the brightness of the latter.
A luminous thing giving out light
must have within itself something that perseveres; otherwise
it will in time burn itself out.
Everything that
gives light
is dependent on something to which it clings,
in order that it may continue to shine.
Thus
- sun and moon cling to heaven, and
- grain, grass, and trees cling to the earth.
So too
the twofold clarity of the dedicated man
- clings to what is right and thereby
- can shape the world.
Human life on earth is conditioned and unfree, and,
when man
- recognizes this limitation and
- makes himself dependent upon the harmonious and beneficent forces of the cosmos,
he achieves success.
The cow is the symbol of extreme docility.
By cultivating in himself an attitude of
- compliance and
- voluntary dependence,
man
- acquires clarity without sharpness and
- finds his place in the world. 1
THE IMAGE
That which is bright rises twice: The image of FIRE.
Thus the great man, by perpetuating this brightness,
Illumines the four quarters of the world.
Each of the two trigrams represents the sun in the course of a day.
The two together represent the repeated movement of the sun,
the function of light with respect to time.
The great man continues the work of nature in the human world.
Through the clarity of his nature
he causes the light
- to spread farther and farther and
- to penetrate the nature of man ever more deeply.
