sparhawk said:one of the things that prompted me to find more information about these two authors is that they both believe, although with slight differences amongst them, that the "Moving Lines" of an hexagram are not the 9's and 6's (Old Yangs and Yins) but the 7's and 8's (Young Yangs and Yins). The rationale behind this is that it is the "Young" lines the ones that have the potential for change since they are still growing and gathering energy while the "Old" lines are, by the definition of old and frailty, too rigid for change. Raymond de Becker, the compiler of Harlez works in French under the book "Méthode pratique de divination chinoise par le Yi-King" (Paris, 1950), finds this point of view about changing lines more natural a logical than the one given by Wilhelm and other translations (he quotes Wilhelm in the original German version as when his French book came out the Wilhelm/Baynes was not yet available...)
Well now, that's a debate to tackle in Clarity!! Makes you wonder if we all had it upside down in our interpretations and the derived hexagrams are completely different from what we are used to... Obviously, the consensus is with the present "status quo", but what if...

Are you going to post another links page on your site?
I just added a new link to your Yi Book scans.
Keep it up. We're gonna all get together and promote you
