I Ching Hexagram nr. 32

Héng – Persevering, duration, constancy
Øverst	Trigram: Chên The Arousing, Thunder
Nederst	Trigram: Sun The Gentle, Wind

Billedet
Torden og vind: billedet af varighed. Således den overlegne mand står fast. Og ændrer ikke sin retning.

Tordenvejr brager og vinden blæser; begge er eksempler på ekstrem mobilitet og så er tilsyneladende det modsatte af varighed, men de love, der styrer deres udseende og nedsynkning, deres kommer og går, udholde. På samme måde uafhængighed overlegen mand er ikke baseret på stivhed og immobilitet af karakter. Han holder altid på forkant med tiden og ændrer sig med det. Hvad udholder er urokkelig direktiv, den indre lov i hans væsen, der bestemmer alle hans handlinger.

The Image
Thunder and wind: the image of DURATION. Thus the superior man stands firm. And does not change has direction.

Thunder rolls, and the wind blows; both are examples of extreme mobility and so are seemingly the very opposite of duration, but the laws governing their appearance and subsidence, their coming and going, endure. In the same way the independence of the superior man is not based on rigidity and immobility of character. He always keeps abreast of the time and changes with it. What endures is the unswerving directive, the inner law of his being, which determines all his actions.

I Ching helt enkelt Hexagram nr. 32 Modtagelsen af dette hexagram er en opmuntring til at holde ud, at bevæge sig fremad ved at stå ved det, der er sandt og korrekt. Det er ikke en tid, hvor man skal lade egoet svulme op af succes eller blive desperat over en ugunstig skæbne. Det er simpelthen tiden til fastholdelse af vejen til væsentlig sandhed.

Kommentar From the book I Ching. The strong trigram Chên is above, the weak trigram Sun below. This hexagram is the inverse of the preceding one. In the latter we have influence, here we have union as an enduring condition. The two images are thunder and wind, which are likewise constantly paired phenomena. The lower trigram indicates gentleness within; the upper, movement without. In the sphere of social relationships, the hexagram represents the institution of marriage as the enduring union of the sexes. During courtship the young man subordinates himself to the girl, but in marriage, which is represented by the coming together of the eldest son and the eldest daughter, the husband is the directing and moving force outside, while the wife, inside, is gentle and submissive.

Den stærke trigram Chen er ovenfor den svage trigram Sun nedenfor. Dette hexagram er det omvendte af den foregående. I sidstnævnte, vi har indflydelse, her har vi union som en varig tilstand. De to billeder er torden og vind, som ligeledes er konstant parrede fænomener. Det nederste trigram indikerer mildhed indenfor; den øvre, bevægelse uden. I området for sociale relationer, den hexagram repræsenterer institutionen i ægteskabet som den varige forening af kønnene. Under frieri den unge mand underordnede sig til pigen, men i ægteskabet, som er repræsenteret ved den kommende sammen af den ældste søn, og den ældste datter, manden er den dirigerende og bevæger kraft udenfor, mens konen, indenfor, er blid og underdanig.

Six at the beginning means: Seeking duration too hastily brings misfortune persistently. Nothing that would further.

Whatever endures can be created only gradually by long-continued work and careful reflection. In the same sense Lao-tse says: “If we wish to compress something, we must first let it fully expand.” He who demands too much at once is acting precipitately, and because he attempts too much, he ends by succeeding in nothing.

Nine in the second place means: Remorse disappears.

The situation is abnormal. A man’s force of character is greater than the available material power. Thus he might be afraid of allowing himself to attempt something beyond his strength. However, since it is the time of DURATION, it is possible for him to control his inner strength and so to avoid excess. Cause for remorse then disappears.

tekst

Nine in the third place means: He who does not give duration to his character. Meets with disgrace. Persistent humiliation.

If a man remains at the mercy of moods of hope or fear aroused by the outer world, he loses his inner consistency of character. Such inconsistency invariably leads to distressing experiences. These humiliations often come from an unforeseen quarter. Such experiences are not merely effects produced by the external world, but logical consequences evoked by his own nature.

tekst

Nine in the fourth place means: No game in the field.

If we are in pursuit of game and want to get a shot at a quarry, we must set about it in the right way. A man who persists in stalking game in a place where there is none may wait forever without finding any. Persistence in search is not enough. What is not sought in the right way is not found.

tekst

Six in the fifth place means: Giving duration to one’s character through perseverance. This is good fortune for a woman, misfortune for a man.

A woman should follow a man her whole life long, but a man should at all times hold to what is his duty at the given moment. Should he persistently seek to conform to the woman, it would be a mistake for him. Accordingly it is altogether right for a woman to hold conservatively to tradition, but a man must always be flexible and adaptable and allow himself to be guided solely by what his duty requires of him at the moment.

tekst

Six at the top means: Restlessness as an enduring condition brings misfortune.

There are people who live in a state of perpetual hurry without ever attaininginner composure. Restlessness not only prevents all thoroughness but actuallybecomes a danger if it is dominant in places of authority.
