So, these hexagrams and text from before the Zhouyi, were they before Oracle Bones?
still I decided to sum up the main points of my reasoning here.So, if anyone has any ideas similar but does not feel like taking the time or doesn't have the time to do it, let.me.know. I am serious.
Dear Hilary,I wonder what you'll make of Dan Hessey's recent work on the Sequence?
Independent from the common divination based on Zhou Yi, 焦jiag京jing易 (the Yi of 焦延壽 and 京房) developed their own method and invented the so-called 八ba宮gong (eight wombs). I made one at http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/9549/58476775.png for your reference.
The sequence 41 – 45
After the drought has been dissolved, the villain dismissed and the crisis alleviated in the hexagram Xie (40). How to economize the use of resources from those below to those above (in the form of masculinity adding to femininity) is the subject of the hexagram Sun (41). In the era of Sun, those below enrich those above according to their capability and the necessity, and balance is the optimal status which need be reached; those above must cherish the enrichment from those below; actually the enrichment from those below is their contribution to the country.
In the hexagram Sun (41) those below diminish themselves so as to enrich those above, while in the hexagram Yi (42), those above diminish themselves to enrich those below. The king makes use of the very valuable tortoise (the tribute of those below in hex 41) to worship Heaven to bless his people. The enrichment must be sincerely & trustworthily carried out in a fair manner and must be a long term project for the better future instead of some political measures just to please the people.
Enrichment (42) continues ceaselessly and becomes brimful; it will definitely break and burst. Line 6 of the hexagram Yi (42) gets used to enrichment and becomes insatiably avaricious; no one will enrich it but rather attack it. Therefore the hexagram Guai (43) is granted after it, wherein the masculine unveils the evil behaviors of villains in public and is getting rid of the feminine.
