Hexagram 11 – T’ai – Peace
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Above\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0K’UN\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0THE RECEPTIVE, EARTH
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Below\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0CH’IEN\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Receptive, which moves downward, stands above;
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  • the Creative, which moves upward, is below.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Hence their influences meet and are in harmony,
    \n<\/span><\/p>\n

    so that all living things bloom and prosper.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/p>\n

    This hexagram belongs to the first month (February-March), at which time
    \n<\/span><\/p>\n

    the forces of nature prepare the new spring.
    \n<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    THE JUDGMENT
    \n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    PEACE.
    \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • The small departs,
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    • The great approaches.
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Good fortune.
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      Success.
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      This hexagram denotes a time in nature when heaven seems to be on earth.<\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      Heaven has placed itself beneath<\/span> the earth, and so their powers unite<\/span> in deep harmony.
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      Then peace and blessing descend<\/span> upon all living things.
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      In the world of man it is a time of social harmony<\/span>;
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • those in high places show favor to the lowly, and
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      • the lowly and inferior in their turn are well disposed toward the highly placed.
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        There is an end<\/span> to all feuds.
        \n<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Inside, at the center, in the key position, is the light principle;
          \n<\/span><\/li>\n
        • the dark principle is outside.
          \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Thus
          \n<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • the light has a powerful influence, while
            \n<\/span><\/li>\n
          • the dark is submissive.
            \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            In this way each receives its due.
            \n<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n
              When
              \n<\/span><\/div>\n
                \n
              • the good elements of society occupy a central position and are in control,
                \n<\/span><\/li>\n
              • the evil elements come under their influence and change for the better.
                \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
              • \n

                \n<\/span><\/div>\n
                  \n

                  \n<\/span><\/li>\n
                • \n
                  his animal nature also
                  \n<\/span><\/div>\n
                    \n

                      Here

                        \n
                      • the small, weak, and evil elements are about to take their departure<\/span>, while
                        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
                      • the great, strong, and good elements are moving up<\/span>.
                        \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        This brings good fortune and success.

                        THE IMAGE

                        \n<\/span><\/p>\n

                            This stream of energy must be regulated<\/span> by the ruler of men.
