HEXAGRAM 03 – Chun – Difficulty at the Beginning
Above K’AN THE ABYSMAL, WATER
Below CHEN THE AROUSING, THUNDER
The name of the hexagram, Chun, really connotes
a blade of grass pushing against an obstacle
as it sprouts out of the earth hence the meaning, “difficulty at the beginning.”
The hexagram indicates the way in which heaven and earth bring forth individual beings.
It is their first meeting, which is beset with difficulties.
The lower trigram Chen is the Arousing;
- its motion is upward and
- its image is thunder.
The upper trigram K’an stands for the Abysmal, the dangerous.
- Its motion is downward and
- its image is rain.
The situation points to teeming, chaotic profusion;
thunder and rain fill the air.
But the chaos clears up.
- While the Abysmal sinks,
- the upward movement eventually passes beyond the danger.
- A thunderstorm brings release from tension, and
- all things breathe freely again.
THE JUDGMENT
DIFFICULTY AT THE BEGINNING works supreme success,
Furthering through perseverance.
Nothing should be undertaken.
It furthers one to appoint helpers.
Times of growth are beset with difficulties.
They resemble a first birth.
But these difficulties arise from the very profusion of all that is struggling to attain form.
Everything is in motion:
therefore if one perseveres there is a prospect of great success, in spite of the existing danger.
When it is a man’s fate to undertake such new beginnings, everything is still unformed, dark.
Hence he must hold back, because any premature move might bring disaster.
Likewise, it is very important not to remain alone;
in order to overcome the chaos he needs helpers.
This is not to say, however, that he himself should look on passively at what is happening.
He must lend his hand and participate with inspiration and guidance.
THE IMAGE
Clouds and thunder: The image Of DIFFICULTY AT THE BEGINNING.
Thus the superior man
Brings order out of confusion.
Clouds and thunder are represented by definite decorative lines;
this means that in the chaos of difficulty at the beginning, order is already implicit.
So too the superior man has to arrange and organize the inchoate profusion of such times of beginning, just as one sorts out silk threads from a knotted tangle and binds them into skeins.
In order to find one’s place in the infinity of being,
one must be able both
- to separate and
- to unite.
THE LINES
Six in the third place means:
Whoever hunts deer without the forester
Only loses his way in the forest.
The superior man
- understands the signs of the time
- And prefers to desist.
To go on brings humiliation.
If a man tries to hunt in a strange forest and has no guide, he loses his way.
When he finds himself in difficulties he must not try to steal out of them unthinkingly and without guidance.
Fate cannot be duped;
premature effort, without the necessary guidance, ends in failure and disgrace.
Therefore the superior man, discerning the seeds of coming events,
- prefers to renounce a wish
- rather than to provoke failure and humiliation by trying to force its fulfillment.
MOVING HEXAGRAM
HEXAGRAM 63 – Chi Chi – After Completion
Above K’AN THE ABYSMAL, WATER
Below Li THE CLINGING, FIRE
This hexagram is the evolution of T’ai, PEACE (11).
- The transition from confusion to order is completed,
and
- everything is in its proper place even in particulars.
- The strong lines are in the strong places,
- the weak lines in the weak places.
- This is a very favorable outlook,
yet
- it gives reason for thought.
For
- it is just when perfect equilibrium has been reached
that
- any movement may cause order to revert to disorder.
The one strong line that
has moved to the top,
thus
effecting complete order in details,
-
is followed by the other lines,
each moving according to its nature,
and thus suddenly
- there arises again the hexagram P’i, STANDSTILL (12).
Hence
the present hexagram
- indicates the conditions of a time of climax,
which
- necessitate the utmost caution.
THE JUDGMENT
AFTER COMPLETION.
Success in small matters.
Perseverance furthers.
- At the beginning good fortune,
- At the end disorder.
The transition from the old to the new time
is already accomplished.
In principle,
everything stands systematized,
and
it is only in regard to details
that
success is still to be achieved.
In respect to this, however,
we must be careful to maintain the right attitude.
- Everything proceeds as if of its own accord,
and
-
this can all too easily tempt us to
relax and let things take their course
without troubling over details.
Such indifference is the root of all evil.
Symptoms of decay are bound to be the result.
Here
we have
- the rule indicating the usual course of history.
But
- this rule is not an inescapable law.
He who understands it
is in position to avoid its effects by dint of
- unremitting perseverance
and
- caution.
THE IMAGE
Water over fire: the image of the condition
In AFTER COMPLETION.
Thus
the superior man
- Takes thought of misfortune
And
- arms himself against it in advance.
When
water in a kettle hangs over fire,
the two elements
- stand in relation
and thus
- generate energy
(cf. the production of steam).
But
the resulting tension demands caution.
If
the water boils over,
- the fire is extinguished
and
- its energy is lost.
If
the heat is too great,
- the water evaporates into the air.
These elements here
- brought into relation
and thus
- generating energy
are by nature hostile to each other.
Only the most extreme caution can prevent damage.
In life too there are junctures when
- all forces are in balance
and
- work in harmony,
so that
everything seems to be in the best of order.
In such times only
the sage
- recognizes the moments that bode danger
and
- knows how to banish it by means of timely precautions.
