But that doesnt address it. Why water, why not mountain, why not a trial by any other elemental quality. Why specifically "water"
I chose "great man" and crossing the water " as just two examples of a lack of possible clarity.
I could have cited 50.6. What does "yellow" signify, why only the handles, why not the whole cauldron.
Hi Moss Elk. I thought you were ignoring me (LOL)
Does anyone have anything to offer as an explanation, insight, understanding, as to what the Judgements, such as in Hexagram 6- "It furthers one to see the great man. It does not further one to cross the great water", might mean.:bows:
Hi,
The forum 'ignore-list' only works when one is logged in,
rendering it absurdly useless.
@hilary;

also, in the hierarchy of things, i'd say water is superior to mountain, mountain arises from earth (as an example take hexagram 15, from personal notes, when the mountain recognises itself to stand below the earth - that’s the image of modesty).
No, there is no hierarchy in trigrams. Water cannot be said to be superior to mountain.
Unless you're asking Water's opinion about it!No, there is no hierarchy in trigrams. Water cannot be said to be superior to mountain.
Is someones "interpretation" so no use as to what the "meaning " is. And it doesnt exaplin or address the contradictions, some of which I have pointed out.
Hi Trojina
"glossary, Language of Change"
Is someones "interpretation" so no use as to what the "meaning " is. And it doesnt exaplin or address the contradictions, some of which I have pointed out.
We should not forget that the ancient Chinese was a pictoral representation and so not a "language" as we think of language.
But it still means something. It may not mean something particular like we think of as a "tree" but it may point us towards something that grows, that reaches both down and up, into earth and heaven. A tree would be a specific of language and wouldnt mean something that was applicable to us as humans in a real sense, but something that reaches down and roots itself and reaches up to heaven can be realted to "mean " something that a language can never do.
