- 20 . KUAN Contemplation
-
- JUDGEMENT AND COMMENTARY:
-
- KUAN represents the worshipper who has washed his hands but not yet presented
- his offerings. He is highly regarded because of his dignity and sincerity.
-
- When we contemplate the ways of heaven, we see the seasons come and go
- without deviation. Likewise, the sages have given their instructions and all
- submit to them. The wind moves over the earth, and so did the ancient Kings
- travel everywhere, to see their people and instruct them.

- YIN & YANG LINES
-
- BOTTOM
- Shows an immature point of view - not blameable in men of inferior rank, but
- regrettable in superior men.
-
- 2nd Line
- One peeping out from a doorway. If merely the firm correctness of a female,
- it will be of advantage. In a superior man it is a thing to be ashamed of.
-
- 3rd Line
- One looks at the course of his own life, and plans to advance or retreat
- accordingly. There will be no error.
-
- 4th Line
- One who contemplates the glory of the kingdom. It will be advantageous for
- him, being such as he is, to seek to be a guest of a king.
-
- 5th Line
- RULING LINE: One who contemplates the course of his life. A superior man will
- thus fall into no error.
-
- TOP Line
- One who contemplates his own character to see if he is a superior man. There
- will be no error.
