HEXAGRAM 26 – Ta Ch\u2019u – The Taming Power of the Great<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Above          <\/span>KEN             <\/span>KEEPING STILL, MOUNTAIN<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Below          <\/span>CH’IEN         <\/span>THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The Creative is tamed by Ken, Keeping Still.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>This produces great power<\/font><\/span>, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

a situation in contrast<\/font><\/span> to that of <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the ninth hexagram, Hsiao Ch’u, THE TAMING POWER OF THE SMALL, in which <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the Creative is tamed by the Gentle alone.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>There<\/font><\/font><\/span> one weak line must tame five strong lines, but <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>here<\/font><\/font><\/span> four strong lines are restrained by two weak lines; <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>in addition to a minister, there is a prince, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the restraining power therefore is far stronger.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The hexagram has a threefold meaning<\/font><\/span>, expressing different aspects of the concept Holding firm.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>Heaven within the  <\/span>mountain <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

gives the idea<\/font><\/font><\/span> of holding firm in the sense of holding together<\/font><\/span>; <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

2.<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the trigram Ken, which holds the trigram Ch’ien still, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

gives the idea<\/font><\/font><\/span> of holding firm in the sense of holding back<\/font><\/span>; <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

3.<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the third idea<\/font><\/span> is that of holding firm in the sense of caring for and nourishing.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

This last is suggested by the fact that a strong line at the top, which is the ruler of the hexagram, is honored and tended<\/font><\/span> as a sage<\/font><\/span>.  <\/span>The third of these meanings also attaches<\/font><\/span> specifically to this strong line at the top, which represents the sage<\/font><\/span>.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JUDGMENT<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE TAMING POWER OF THE GREAT.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Perseverance furthers. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Not eating at home brings good fortune.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It furthers one to cross the great water.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

To <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>hold firmly<\/font><\/font><\/span> to great creative powers and <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>store<\/font><\/font><\/span> them up, <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

as set forth in this hexagram, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

there is need of a <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>strong, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>clearheaded man<\/font><\/font><\/span> <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

who is honored by the ruler.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The trigram Ch’ien<\/font><\/span> points to strong creative power; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Ken<\/font><\/font><\/span> indicates <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>firmness and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>truth.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Both point <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>to <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>light and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

o<\/font><\/font>   <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>clarity<\/font><\/font><\/span> and <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>to the daily renewal of character.<\/font><\/span><\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Only through such daily self-renewal can a man <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

continue at the height of his powers.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Force of habit<\/font><\/span> helps to keep order<\/font><\/span> in quiet times; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

but in periods when there is a great storing up of energy, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

everything depends on the power of the personality<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

However, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

since the worthy are honored, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

as in the case of the strong personality entrusted<\/font><\/span> with leadership by the ruler, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

it is an advantage <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>not to eat at home <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>but rather to earn one’s bread by entering upon public office<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Such a man is in harmony with heaven<\/font><\/span>; <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

therefore even <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>great and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>difficult undertakings<\/font><\/font><\/span>, <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

such as crossing the great water, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

succeed.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE  <\/span>IMAGE <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Heaven within the mountain: <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The image of THE TAMING POWER OF THE GREAT. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the superior man <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity And <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>many deeds of the past, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

In order to strengthen his character thereby.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Heaven within the mountain points to hidden treasures.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In the <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>words and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>deeds <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

of the past <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

there lies hidden a treasure that <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

men may use to <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>strengthen and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>elevate <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

their own characters.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The way to study the past is <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>not to confine oneself to mere knowledge of history <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

but, through application of this knowledge, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>to give actuality to the past.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

THE LINES<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Six in the fourth Place means:<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

The headboard of a young bull. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Great good fortune.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>This line and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>the one following it <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

are the two that tame<\/font><\/span> the forward-pushing lower lines.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Before a bull’s horns grow out, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

a headboard is fastened to its forehead, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

so that later when the horns appear they cannot do harm.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A good way to restrain wild force is to forestall it.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

By so doing one achieves <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>an easy and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>a great <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

success.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The fire in heaven above shines far, and all things <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>stand<\/font><\/font><\/span> out in the light and <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The weak fifth line occupies the place of honor, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

All things come to the man who <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

POSSESSION IN GREAT MEASURE. <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Supreme success.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The two trigrams indicate that strength and clarity<\/font><\/span> unite.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Possession in great measure <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>is determined<\/font><\/span> by fate and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>accords<\/font><\/font><\/span> with the time.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

How is it possible that the weak line has power <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>to hold the strong lines fast and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>to possess them?<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

It is done by virtue of unselfish modesty<\/font><\/span>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The time is favorable – a time of <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>strength within, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>clarity and culture without.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Power is expressing<\/font><\/span> itself in a <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>graceful and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>controlled <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

way.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

This brings <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>supreme success and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>wealth. 2<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

THE IMAGE<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Fire in heaven above: The image of POSSESSION IN GREAT MEASURE .<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the superior man <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>curbs evil and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>furthers good, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

And thereby <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>obeys the benevolent will of heaven.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>The sun in heaven above, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>shedding light over everything on earth, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

is the image<\/font><\/span> of possession on a grand scale.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

But a possession of this sort must be administered properly.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

The sun brings both <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>evil and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>good <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

into the light of day.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Man <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>must combat and curb the evil, and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>must favor and promote the good<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b>.<\/font>  <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Only in this way does he fulfill the benevolent will of God, <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

who desires only <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>good and <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font><\/font>         <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span>not evil.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
