From the book [you can get it free online: THE YI JING, OR “BOOK OF CHANGES”
A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW
There is no doubt that the Yi jing »Classic of Changes, »sometimes known as the Zhou yi [“Changes of the Zhou Dynasty,” or “Revolving Changes”], or just called the Yi) is the product of a long tradition of divination lore; there is doubt about most everything else.
Receptivity: Primal; penetrating; beneficial; the steadfastness of the mare. The junzi undertakes action; he is first lost and later gains his end. He takes benefit as foremost. West and south he gains his friend; east and north he loses his friend. To be at ease with steadfastness is auspicious.
The Judgment says: Ultimate is the primal quality of Receptivity. The things of the world find their sources therein, and it receives Heaven compliantly. Receptivity is deep and bears all things. Its grace is embracing without limits. It holds vastness and its brilliance is great. All types of things penetrate through.
– “The mare” is of the category of earth; it travels the earth without limits. It is flexible in its compliance, and in this way benefits through steadfastness.
– “The junzi undertakes action; he is first lost”: straying from the Dao; later he is compliant and gains the eternal.
– “West and south he gains his friend”: he travels with his type. “East and north he loses his friend”: yet in the end he will have blessings.
– The auspiciousness of “at ease with steadfastness”: responding to the earth without limits.
The Greater Image says: The disposition of earth is Receptivity. The junzi thereby deepens his virtue and bears things.
