15 Modesty
|
Trigrams : self-restraint (bottom), dual-mindedness (top) : with/from perseverence comes dual-mindedness. [earth over mountain]
The mud from which 15 has emerged is best described by analogy to the under-stated qualities of hexagram 22 - facading.
As a marker of context, where context acts to PUSH instincts, 15 'demands' a preferred response of the qualities of hexagram 23 - cut back to the 'true', housekeep.
At the LOCAL level in the binary sequence we here deal with a sequence of eight hexagrams with the trigram of MOUNTAIN as the base trigram. In this sequence hexagram 15 'opposes' hexagram 33 where in 33 the focus on avoiding exaggeration is replaced by the use of exaggeration to trick the enemy, to draw them into a trap. More so, the exaggerated sense of trickary/retreat in 33 is reflected in a more balanced format through the levelling-out (and so make things more 'fair') reflected in 15.
In this pairing we see a sense of imposing order, be it through reducing highs and lows or in actively planning events and so avoiding the 'unexpected' highs and lows.
REDUCE EXAGGERATIONS:
15 : reduce exaggerations - through re-distribution, even-out; 15 modesty comes out of a context described by hexagram
22 - facading, gloss over, cover up
16 : reduce exaggerations - through planning, think beforehand; 16 foresight, planning comes out of a context described
by hexagram 21 - problem solving, to chew over
