Need a little advice about hex2.1

[bradford_h]

The editors of the OED think it started in England as "bling bling", an onomotopoeic expression for the sound jewelry makes tinkling against itself.
There's a word for this in Chinese: Lu (96+8) that Laozi uses at the end of Chapter 39: "Do not long to dazzle & jingle like jade - Clunk & clatter like rocks"

chucklin here

There's really nothing new under the sun, is there.

Do you have that translation of Tao Te Ching available online, Brad?

 

[bradford_h]

Yep- same format as the Yi, an anally literal version and a matrix version. See also this huge collection - as with the Yi, one translation can't cover it.

Hi Quale:

I'm so glad Hilary mentioned Steve Marshall's interpretation of 2.1 in his book, Mandate of Heaven. He also posted about it here on this forum: http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/messages/48/830.html#POST8078

Love,

Val
