Hexagram 22
By James Byrd
I.The Oracle
A. Hexagram 22 is Bi or Adorning. Further variations include Grace and Luzxuriance. The lower trigram is Li: radiance or fire, and the upper trigram is Gen: bound or mountain.
B. The Judgment
1. Grace has success.2. In small matters
It is favorable to undertake something.
C. The Image
1. Fire at the foot of the mountain:The image of Grace.
2. Thus the superior man proceeds
When clearing up current affairs.
But he dare not decide controversial issues in this way.
II. My interpretation
A. "Luxuriance"
“The orator, he has the ear of the people provided, content, the end goal, behavioral temperaments, within a range of days/years are consistent with the image the orator wants to project.”
