HEXAGRAM 28 – Ta Kuo – Preponderance of the Great

Above    TUI    THE JOUYOUS, LAKE

Below    SUN    THE GENTLE, WIND, WOOD

This hexagram consists of

• four strong lines inside and
  
• two weak lines outside.
  

1. When
   

• the strong are outside and
  
• the weak inside,
  
  • all is well and
    
  • there is
    
    • nothing out of balance,
      
    • nothing extraordinary in the situation.
      

1. Here, however, the opposite is the case.
   

• The hexagram represents a beam that is
  
  • thick and heavy in the middle but
    
  • too weak at the ends.
    
    • This is a condition that cannot last;
      
    • it must be changed, must pass, or misfortune will result.
      

 

THE JUDGMENT

PREPONDERANCE OF THE GREAT.

The ridgepole sags to the breaking point.

It furthers one to have somewhere to go.

Success.

The weight of the great is excessive.

The load is too heavy for the strength of the supports.

The ridgepole, on which the whole roof rests, sags to the breaking point,

because its supporting ends are too weak for the load they bear.

It is an exceptional time and situation;

therefore

extraordinary measures are demanded.

It is necessary

• to find a way of transition as quickly as possible, and
  
• to take action.
  

This promises success.

For although the strong element is in excess,

it is in the middle, that is, at the center of gravity, so that

a revolution is not to be feared.

Nothing is to be achieved by forcible measures.

The problem must be solved by

gentle penetration to the meaning of the situation

(as is suggested by the attribute of the inner trigram, Sun);

then

the change-over to other conditions will be successful.

It demands real superiority;

therefore

the time when the great preponderates is a momentous time.

 

THE IMAGE

The lake rises above the trees:

The image Of PREPONDERANCE OF THE GREAT.

Thus the superior man,

• when he stands alone, Is unconcerned, And
  
• if he has to renounce the world, He is undaunted.
  

• Extraordinary times when the great preponderates are like
  
• flood times when the lake rises over the treetops.
  

But such conditions are temporary.

The two trigrams indicate the attitude proper to such exceptional times:

• the symbol of the trigram Sun is the tree,
  
  • which stands firm even though it stands alone, and
    
• the attribute of Tui is joyousness,
  
  • which remains undaunted even if it must renounce the world.
    

 

THE LINES

 

Nine in the third place means:

The ridgepole sags to the breaking point.

Misfortune.

This indicates a type of

man who in times of preponderance of the great insists on pushing ahead.

He accepts no advice from others, and therefore

they in turn are not willing to lend him support.

Because of this

the burden grows, until the structure of things bends or breaks.

Plunging willfully ahead in times of danger only hastens the catastrophe.

 

Nine in the fifth place means:

• A withered poplar puts forth flowers.
  
• An older woman takes a husband.
  
• No blame.
  
• No praise.
  

• A withered poplar that flowers exhausts its energies thereby and only hastens its end.
  
• An older woman may marry once more, but no renewal takes place.
  

Everything remains barren.

Thus, though all the amenities are observed,

the net result is only the anomaly of the situation.

Applied to politics,

the metaphor means that if in times of insecurity we

• give up alliance with those below us and
  
• keep up only the relationships we have with people of higher rank,
  

an unstable situation is created.

 

 

MOVING HEXAGRAM

 

 

HEXAGRAM 40 – Hsieh – Deliverance

Above    CHEN    THE AROUSING, THUNDER

Below    K’AN    THE ABYSMAL, WATER

Here the movement goes out of the sphere of danger.

• The obstacle has been removed,
  
• the difficulties are being resolved.
  
• Deliverance is not yet achieved;
  
• it is just in its beginning, and
  
• the hexagram represents its various stages.
  

 

THE JUDGMENT

DELIVERANCE.

The southwest furthers.

• If there is no longer anything where one has to go,
  
  • Return brings good fortune.
    
• If there is still something where one has to go,
  
  • Hastening brings good fortune.
    

This refers to a time in which tensions and complications begin to be eased.

At such times

we ought to make our way back to ordinary conditions as soon as possible;

this is the meaning of “the southwest.”

These periods of sudden change have great importance.

Just as

rain relieves atmospheric tension, making all the buds burst open,

so

a time of deliverance from burdensome pressure has a

• liberating and
  
• stimulating
  

effect on life.

One thing is important, however: in such times

we must not overdo our triumph.

The point is not to push on farther than is necessary.

Returning to the regular order of life

as soon as deliverance is achieved

brings good fortune.

If there are any residual matters that ought to be attended to,

it should be done as quickly as possible,

so that

• a clean sweep is made and
  
• no retardation occur.
  

 

THE IMAGE

Thunder and rain set in: The image of DELIVERANCE.

Thus the superior man

• pardons mistakes And
  
• forgives misdeeds.
  

• A thunderstorm has the effect of clearing the air;
  
• the superior man produces a similar effect
  

  when dealing with mistakes and sins of men
  

  that induce a condition of tension.
  

Through clarity he brings deliverance.

However,

when failings come to light,

he does not dwell on them;

• he simply passes over mistakes, the unintentional transgressions,
  
  • just as thunder dies away.
    
• He forgives misdeeds, the intentional transgressions,
  
  • just as water washes everything clean.
