HEXAGRAM 49 – Ko – Revolution (Molting)

Above    TUI    THE JOYOUS, LAKE

Below    LI    THE CLINGING, FIRE

The Chinese character for this hexagram means in its original sense

an animal’s pelt, which is changed in the course of the year by molting.

From this the word is carried over to apply to

• the “molting” in political life,
  
• the great revolutions connected with changes of governments.
  

The two trigram making up the hexagram are

the same two that appear in K’uei, OPPOSITION (38), that is,

the two younger daughters, Li and Tui.

But while

there

• the elder of the two daughters is above, and
  
  • what results is essentially only an opposition of tendencies,
    

here

• the younger daughter is above.
  
  • The influences are in actual conflict, and
    
  • the forces combat each other like fire and water (lake), each trying to destroy the other.
    

Hence the idea of revolution.

 

THE JUDGMENT

REVOLUTION

On your own day

You are believed.

Supreme success,

Furthering through perseverance.

Remorse disappears.

Political revolutions are extremely grave matters.

They should be undertaken

• only under stress of direst necessity,
  
• when there is no way out.
  

• Not everyone is called to this task,
  
• but only the man who has the confidence of the people, and
  

  even he only when the time is ripe.
  

• He must then proceed in the right way, so that
  
• he
  
  • gladdens the people and, by enlightening them,
    
  • prevents excesses.
    

Furthermore,

he

• must be quite free of selfish aims and
  
• must really relieve the need of the people.
  

Only then does he have nothing to regret.

Times change, and with them their demands.

• Thus the seasons change in the course of the year.
  

In the world cycle also

• there are spring and autumn in the life of peoples and nations, and
  
• these call for social transformations.
  

 

THE IMAGE

Fire in the lake: the image of REVOLUTION.

Thus the superior man

• Sets the calendar in order And
  
• makes the seasons clear.
  

Fire below and the lake above combat and destroy each other.

So too in the course of the year a combat takes place between

• the forces of light and
  
• the forces of darkness,
  
  • eventuating in the revolution of the seasons.
    

Man masters these changes in nature by

• noting their regularity and
  
• marking off the passage of time accordingly.
  

In this way

• order and clarity appear in the apparently chaotic changes of the seasons, and
  
• man is able to adjust himself in advance to the demands of the different times.
  

 

THE LINES

 

Nine at the beginning means:

Wrapped in the hide of a yellow cow.

Changes ought to be undertaken only when there is nothing else to be done.

Therefore at first the utmost restraint is necessary.

One must

• become firm in one’s mind, control oneself –
  
  • yellow is the color of the mean, and
    
  • the cow is the symbol of docility – and
    
• refrain from doing anything for the time being,
  
  • because any premature offensive will bring evil results.
    

 

Nine in the fifth place means:

The great man changes like a tiger.

Even before he questions the oracle

He is believed.

A tiger skin, with its highly visible black stripes on a yellow ground,

shows its distinct pattern from afar.

It is the same with a revolution brought about by a great man:

large, clear guiding lines become visible, understandable to everyone.

Therefore

• he need not first consult the oracle, for
  
• he wins the spontaneous support of the people.
  

 

Six at the top means:

• The superior man changes like a panther.
  
• The inferior man molts in the face.
  

Starting brings misfortune.

To remain persevering brings good fortune.

After the large and fundamental problems are settled,

• certain minor reforms, and
  
• elaborations of these,
  

are necessary.

These detailed reforms may be likened to

the equally distinct but relatively small marks of the panther’s coat.

As a consequence,

a change also takes place among the inferior people.

In conformity with the new order, they likewise “molt.”

This molting, it is true, does not go very deep, but that is not to be expected.

We must be satisfied with the attainable.

If we should go too far and try to achieve too much,

it would lead to unrest and misfortune.

For the object of a great revolution is the

• attainment of clarified, secure conditions
  
• ensuring a general stabilization
  
• on the basis of what is possible at the moment.
  

 

 

MOVING HEXAGRAM

 

 

HEXAGRAM 56 – Lu – The Wanderer

Above    LI    THE CLINGING, FIRE

Below    KEN    KEEPING STILL, MOUNTAIN

• The mountain, Ken, stands still;
  

above it

• fire, Li, flames up and does not tarry.
  

Therefore

the two trigrams do not stay together.

Strange lands and separation are the wanderer’s lot.

 

THE JUDGMENT

THE WANDERER.

Success through smallness.

Perseverance brings good fortune

To the wanderer.

When

• a man is a wanderer and stranger,
  
  • he should not be gruff nor overbearing.
    
• He has no large circle of acquaintances
  

therefore

• he should not give himself airs.
  

• He must be cautious and reserved;
  

in this way

• he protects himself from evil.
  

If

• he is obliging toward others,
  
  • he wins success.
    

A wanderer has no fixed abode;

his home is the road.

Therefore

he must take care to remain upright and steadfast,

so that

he

• sojourns only in the proper places,
  
• associating only with good people.
  

Then

he

• has good fortune and
  
• can go his way unmolested.
  

 

THE IMAGE

Fire on the mountain: The image of THE WANDERER.

Thus

the superior man

• Is clear-minded and cautious In imposing penalties, And
  
• protracts no lawsuits.
  

When grass on a mountain takes fire, there is bright light.

However,

the fire

• does not linger in one place, but
  
• travels on to new fuel.
  

It is a phenomenon of short duration.

This is what penalties and lawsuits should be like.

They

• should be a quickly passing matter, and
  
• must not be dragged out indefinitely.
  

• Prisons ought to be places where people are lodged only temporarily,
  

as guests are.

• They must not become dwelling places.
