Hilary has started an interesting discussion on Hexagram 62 Hsiao Kuo / Preponderance of the Small in her Answers blog (available at the Links section). To me, this hexagram carries a special significance arising from several divinatory experiences over the years; therefore I had posted the following comments in her blog:
‘Everyone including (an author/translator) is taking potshots and still wide of the mark. It goes to show that not too many Yi students or experts like to ponder deeply into the Yi. However with sufficient divinatory experiences hopefully they may still come to understand the real meaning behind Hexagram 62.
While you may like to make more guesses, the answer is in the message.’
To be fair, Hilary has written on the author/translator’s ascribed meaning and expanded her thoughts on the hexagram from there. (He was not present to make any comments.) My second sentence was a lamentation. The third provides a way and some hope to understand the Yi better. While the final sentence or paragraph provides a cryptic clue to those who may decide to ponder deeper into the hexagram.
Readers, who would like to put forth their viewpoints or experiences on this hexagram, can post their comments in Hilary’s Answers blog. Or they can post them in my next entry on Hexagram 62.
