Didn't someone here once tell the story of an open (questionless) reading getting some alarming-sounding lines in 47 - and finding he couldn't get out of his parking space?
I've told this story here before, but might as well put it in the official unchanging thread: the first time I ever got 47uc,when I was just learning the yi, what Trojina writes above was the case. I was doing castings about things I had no emotional attachment to, the better to learn, so I asked about lunch that day and got 47uc. So of course I DID get emotional, it sounds so awful--will I go to prison etc etc?
I went down to the parking lot with trepidation . . . and found my car was blocked in by a fire truck. I actually sat on the curb and laughed. There were even officials wearing red! After about ten minutes my car was freed. It was a great lesson for me.
That's interesting - how would you translate 晉其角 ?
I translate it into "Move forward to the border areas", "角" means "corner" or "border areas" here.
In fact, as for Chinese, I Ching is also hard to understand sometimes, because it was written in classical Chinese so we have to translate it into vernacular Chinese. That's why there are still some discussions about this book today.
If you are interesting in the translation in Chinese, you could use a Chinese-English dictionary, such as:
