Of his works, he is especially famous?
and received a response of:
9 Smallness Tames
The Statement of the first hexagram
Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.
The changing lines
The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The fifth line:
Have confidence. Entwine
with your neighbor for wealth.
The sixth line:
Rain is done, all is in place. Respect and virtue
are full. Yet a woman's chastity is imperiled.
When the moon is nearly full,
the prince attacks: misfortune.
46 Rising
The Statement of the second hexagram
Rising. Great continuing.
Act now to see the great person.
Do not be distressed. Advance southward:
fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wood growing in the
center of the land: rising.
The noble one is mild,
gradually raising what is
tiny into the tall and great.
