The names (Entry, Prefect, Transition, Minister, Sovereign, Exiting) of your six levels scheme doesn't match with the archaeological exavacations showing the numerology of the Zhou titles and ranks:I will be loading the etymology of the 64 Judgements in the following weeks, as I am going under print this year. If you so care, it would be considerate and kind of you to feedback on these and, hopefully, criticize constructively where necessary.
The xia shi exception of 2 ding vessels and 0 gui vessels looks strange at first sight: 1 ding vessel would fit perfect seen with schematic eyes, but the number 1 doesn't fit with the Zhou numerology of the Yi Jing:Hopefully this thread will not be bombarded by heavy weight wisdom...to those ever so illuminated, please shed your light on someone worthier than me...
Either or - I see no reason why mixing the terms? Stephen Kartcher has e.g. chosen:The levels ( should ) not be dedicated exclusively to public servants, do you think ?
Paul:... we have to remember that the Zhou also imposed the feet binding rule and completely eradicated women from public life ...
