Hex 14 has no zhen1

Hex 14 has no zhen1. Isn't that interesting? Presumably, there's no occasion for zhen1 when you're in a time of 'big having'. You've got it, so no need for zhen1.

Way better than what you've got in 63, I think. Just as subject to change as 63, I suppose, but a better place to be.

I'd see 14 as a state of potential. Mark McElroy in one of his best moments called this 'having what it takes' - yes, you've got it, but that doesn't say anything about how you might apply it. Lots of potential energy, power as an emergent property (as from the harmony created in 13), but neutral in itself.

How are you comparing this with 63? I mean - where are the similarities?

Well, only because in 63, everything's in its proper place, so in a way you've got things where they need to be.
