the whole idograph is a picture of storing up or accumulating.
Sequence of the Gua: Multitude in a harmonious union surely results in something to be stored up. thus, after union, little accumulation follows.
the structure of this gua is wind and heaven. King wen saw a storm gathering and clouding over the western sky, yet no rain came down. he realized that the moisture in the cloud was not abundant enough to form rain. there was only a little accumulation. sooner or later rain would fall. he also realized that when five yang lines rely on one yin for nourishment, it becomes difficult for the yin. the yin needs time to accumulate energy and strength. when one's energy and strength are not adequate to a task, one should take a break to gather one's forces for further accomplishment. the break should be temporary, yet the achievement is continuous. this is the main theme of the gua.
Decision
Little accumulation
prosperous and smooth
clouds condense, yet no rain
at my west side.
Commentary on the decision
little accumulation.
the little obtains the ruling position.
those above and those below correspond to it.
this is called little accumulation.
strong and gentle
the firm are in the central places;
in the end their will will be fulfilled.
therefore, smooth and favorable.
clouds condense, yet no rain.
they are still moving forward
at my west side.
his aspiration has not yet been obtained.
Significance
this gua employs 'Clouds condense, yet no rain" as an image to express the situation when the accumulation of one's latent energy and strength is not enough. a little break is required. it is not the time for one to carry out his purpose. during the process of development, process frequently comes to a standstill. there might be a little obstruction owing to one's lack of experience or insufficiency of strength. in this situation, one should store up energy, preparing for the next move. the main teaching of the gua is to be sincere and truthful. this is the key to nurturing the multitude with little.
and it changes to this gua "Nourishing"
Sequence of the gua
when things are accumulated in great amount, nourishing becomes available. thus, after great accumulation, nourishing follows.
Decision
Nourishing.
being steadfast and upright:good fortune
watch your nourishment;
pay attention to what is in your mouth.
Commentary on the decision
Nourishing.
steadfast and upright; good fortune
when nourishing is right,
good fortune comes.
watching how you nourish others;
it is to watch what you provide nourishment for.
paying attention to what is in your mouth
it is to pay attention to how you nourish yourself.
heaven and earth nourish all beings.
the holy sages nourish the virtuous,
and thus reach all.
great indeed is nourishing in its time!
Significance
the ancient sages proclaimed that nourishing and nurturing were not a matter reserved for the family but concerned society as a whole. Nourishing and nurturing a family was selfish, nourishing and nurturing a society was selfless. Compared with nourishing one's virtue, nourishing one's body was secondary. thus, the sages were cautious of words and moderate in diet and provided nourishment and nurturing to the people.
