Chapter VII mentions the attributes, called also the ‘ virtues,’ of the different trigrams. It is not easy to account for the qualities— ‘their nature and feelings ’—ascribed to them. Khung Ying-ta says:—' Khien is represented by heaven, which revolves without ceasing, and so it is the symbol of strength; KhwAn by the earth, which receives docilely the action of heaven, and so it is the symbol of docility; Aan by thunder, which excites and moves all things, and so it is the symbol of what produces movement; Sun by wind, which enters everywhere, and so it is the symbol of pene- tration; Khan by water, found in a place perilous and precipitous, and the name is explained accordingly; Lf by fire, and fire is sure to lay hold of things, and so it is the symbol of being attached to; K 4n by a mountain, the mass of which is still and arrests progress, and so it is the symbol of stoppage or arrest; and Tui by a lake or marsh, which moistens all things, and so it is the symbol of satisfaction.’
The Khang-hs? editors consider this explanation of the qualities of the trigrams to be unsatisfactory, and certainly it has all the appearance of an ex post facto account. They prefer the views of the philosopher Shao (of our eleventh century), which is based on the arrangement of the undivided and divided lines in the figures. This to me is more unsatisfactory than the other. The editors say, CHAP. Io. APPENDIX V. 429 Chapter VIII. 12. Aien (suggests the idea of) a horse; Khwé4n, that of an ox; Kn, that of the dragon; Sun, that of a fowl; Khan, that of a pig; Li, that of a pheasant; Kan, that of a dog; and Tui, that of a sheep.
Chapter IX. 13. Aien suggests the idea of the head; Khwéin, that of the belly; Aan, that of the feet; Sun, that of the thighs; Khan, that of the ears; Li, that of the eyes; K4n, that of the hands; and Tui, that of the mouth.
Chapter X. 14. Aien is (the symbol of) heaven, and hence has the appellation of father. Khwan is (the symbol of) earth, and hence has the appella- tion of mother. Aan shows a first application (of Khwa4n to A4ien), resulting in getting (the first of) its male (or undivided lines), and hence is called ‘ the oldest son.’ Sun shows a first application (of Kien to Khw4n), resulting in getting (the first of) its female (or divided lines), and hence is called ‘the oldest daughter.’ Khan showsa second application moreover, that Shdo’s account of the three yang trigrams, Kin, Khan, and Kan is correct, and that of the three yin, Sun, Li, and Tui incorrect; but this would be based on king Wan’s arrangement, which does not appear to have place here.
Chapter VIII. In the Great Appendix, p. 383, it is said that Ff-hsi, in making his trigrams, was guided by ‘the consideration of things apart from his own person.’ Of such things we have a specimen here. The creatures are assigned, in their classes, to the different trigrams, symbolising the ideas in the last chapter. We must not make any difference of sex in translating their names.
Chapter IX. Ffi-hst found also ‘ things near at hand, in his own person,’ while making the trigrams. We have here a specimen of such things.
430 THE APPENDIXES. CHAP. II.
SS ee (of Khwan to A4ien), resulting in getting (the second of) its male (or undivided lines), and hence is called ‘the second son.’ Li shows a second appli- cation (of Kien to Khw4n), resulting in getting the second of its female (or divided lines), and hence is called ‘the second daughter.’ Kan shows a third application (of Khw4n to AK Aien), resulting in get- ting (the third of) its male (or undivided lines), aird hence is called ‘the youngest son.’ Tui shows a third application (of Akien to KhwAn), resulting in getting (the third of) its female (or divided lines), and hence is called ‘ the youngest daughter.’
Chapter XI. 15. Ahien suggests the idea of heaven; ofacircle; of aruler; of a father; of jade; of metal: of cold; of ice; of deep red; of a good horse; of an old horse; of a thin horse; of a pie- bald horse; and of the fruit of trees.
16. Khwan suggests the idea of the earth; of a mother; of cloth; of a caldron; of parsimony; of a turning lathe; of a young heifer; of a large wag- gon; of what is variegated; of a multitude; and of a handle and support. Among soils it denotes what is black.
17, KAn suggests the idea of thunder; of the dragon; of (the union of) the azure and the yellow; of development; of a great highway; of the eldest son; of decision and vehemence; of bright young bamboos; of sedges and rushes; among horses, of Chapter X has been discussed in the Introduction, pp. 49 and 50. Let it simply be added here, that the account which it does give of the formation of the six subsidiary trigrams is inconsistent with their gradual rise from the mutual imposition of the undivided and divided lines.
CHAP. II. APPENDIX V. 43I a ere ea rail es Se the good neigher; of one whose white hind-leg appears, of the prancer, and of one with a white star in his forehead. Among the productions of husbandry it suggests the idea of what returns to life from its disappearance (beneath the surface), of what in the end becomes the strongest, and of what is the most luxuriant.
18. Sun suggests the idea of wood; of wind; of the oldest daughter; ofa plumb-line; ofa carpenter's square; of being white; of being long; of being lofty; of advancing and receding; of want of deci- sion; and of strong scents. It suggests in the human body, the idea of deficiency of hair; of a wide forehead; of a large development of the white of the eye. (Among tendencies), it suggests the close pursuit of gain, even to making three hundred percent. in the market. In the end it may become the trigram of decision.
19. Khan suggests the idea of water; of channels and ditches (for draining and irrigation); of being hidden and lying concealed; of being now straight, and now crooked; of a bow, and of a wheel. As referred to man, it suggests the idea of an increase of anxiety; of distress of mind; of pain in the ears;—it is the trigram of the blood; it suggests the idea of what is red. As referred to horses, it sug- gests the idea of the horse with an elegant spine; of one with a high spirit; of one with a drooping head; of one with a thin hoof; and of one with a shambling step. As referred to carriages, it suggests one that encounters many risks. It suggests what goes right through; the moon; a thief. Referred to trees, it suggests that which is strong, and firm- hearted, 432 THE APPENDIXES. CHAP. II.
20. Li suggests the emblem of fire; of the sun; of lightning; of the second daughter; of buff-coat and helmet; of spear and sword. Referred to men, it suggests the large belly. It is the trigram of dry- ness. It suggests the emblem of a turtle; of a crab; of a spiral univalve; of the mussel; and of the tor- toise. Referred to trees, it suggests one which is hollow and rotten above.
21. Kan suggests the emblem of a mountain; of a by-path; of a small rock; of a gateway; of the fruits of trees and creeping plants; of a porter ora eunuch; of the (ring) finger; of the dog; of the rat; of birds with powerful bills; among trees, of those which are strong, with many joints.
22. Tui suggests the emblem of a low-lying col- lection of water; of the youngest daughter; of a sorceress; of the mouth and tongue; of the decay and putting down (of things in harvest); of the removal (of fruits) hanging (from the stems or branches); among soils, of what is strong and salt; of a concubine; and of a sheep.
Chapter XI may be made to comprehend all the paragraphs from the r5th to the end, and shows how universally the ideas underlying the Yi are diffused through the world of nature. The quality of the several trigrams will be found with more or less of truth, and with less or more of fancy, in the objects mentioned in connexion with them. More needs not to be said on the chapter than has been done in the Introduction, pp. 53 and 54.

Robt NX V1.
The Orderly Sequence of the Hexagrams.
SecTion I.
1-3. When there were heaven and earth, then afterwards all things were produced. What fills up (the space) between heaven and earth are (those) all things. Hence (Kien and Khwin) are fol- lowed by Kun. un denotes filling up.
3-6. Aun is descriptive of things on their first production. When so produced, they are sure to be in an undeveloped condition. Hence Aun is followed by Mang. Mang is descriptive of what is undeveloped,—the young of creatures and things. These in that state require to be nourished. Hence Mang is followed by Hsii. Hsii is de- scriptive of the way in which meat and drink (come to be supplied)?. Over meat and drink there are sure to be contentions*. Hence Hsii is followed by Sung.
6-8. Sung is sure to cause the rising up of the multitudes *; and hence it is followed by Sze. Sze has the signification of multitudes*®, and between multitudes there must be some bond of union. Hence it is followed by Pi, which denotes being attached to.
8-11. (Multitudes in) union must be subjected to some restraint. Hence Pt is followed by Hsido 434 THE APPENDIXES. SECT. I.
Kht. When things are subjected to restraint, there come to be rites of ceremony, and hence Hsiao Kht is followed by Lit. The treading (on what is proper) leads to Th4i, which issues in a state of freedom and repose, and hence Li is followed by hat 11-16. Thai denotes things having free course. They cannot have that for ever, and hence it is followed by Phi (denoting being shut up and re- stricted). Things cannot for ever be shut up, and hence Phi is followed by Thung 34n. To him who cultivates union with men, things must come to belong, and hence Thung 3an is followed by Ta Ya. Those who have what is great should not allow in themselves the feeling of being full, and hence TA Yd is followed by Azien. When great possessions are associated with humility, there is sure to be pleasure and satisfaction; and hence Khien is followed by Y it.
16-19. Where such complacency is awakened, (he who causes it) is sure to have followers’, They who follow another are sure to have services (to perform), and hence Sui is followed by Ki®% Ka means (the performance of) services. He who per- forms such services may afterwards become great, and hence Ki is followed by Lin. Lin means great ©.
19-23. What is great draws forth contemplation, and hence Lin is followed by Kwan. He who attracts contemplation will then bring about the union of others with himself, and hence Kwa4n is followed by Shih Ho. Shih Ho means union. But things should not be united in a reckless or irregular way, and hence Shih Ho is followed by SECT. Il. APPENDIX VI. 435 Pi. Pi denotes adorning. When ornamentation has been carried to the utmost, its progress comes to an end; and hence Pi is followed by Po. Po denotes decay and overthrow.
23-26. Things cannot be done away for ever. When decadence and overthrow have completed their work at one end, redintegration commences at the other; and hence Po is followed by Fa. When the return (thus indicated) has taken place, we have not any rash disorder, and Ft is followed by Wa Wang. Given the freedom from disorder and insin- cerity (which this name denotes), there may be the accumulation (of virtue), and Wd Wang is followed by TaA/cZt, 26-30. Such accumulation having taken place, there wil! follow the nourishment of it; and hence Ta Khd is followed by I. I denotes nourishing. Without nourishment there could be no movement, and hence I is followed by Ta Kwo. Things can- not for ever be ina state of extraordinary (progress); and hence Ta Kwo is followed by Khan. Khan denotes falling into peril. When one falls into peril, he is sure to attach himself to some person or thing; and hence Khan is followed by Li. Li denotes being attached, or adhering, to.
Section II.
31, 32. Heaven and earth existing, all (material) things then got their existence. All (material) things having existence, afterwards there came male and female. From the existence of male and female there came afterwards husband and wife. From a 436 THE APPENDIXES. SECT. II.
husband and wife there came father and son. From father and son there came ruler and minister. From ruler and minister there came high and low. When (the distinction of) high and low had existence, after- wards came the arrangements of propriety and right- eousness.
The rule for the relation of husband and wife is that it should be long-enduring. Hence Hsien is followed by Hang. Hang denotes long en- during 7.
32-37. Things cannot long abide in the same place; and hence Hang is followed by Thun. Thun denotes withdrawing. Things cannot be for ever withdrawn; and hence Thun is succeeded by Ta Awang. Things cannot remain for ever (simply) in the state of vigour; and hence Ta A wang is succeeded by Zin. 3in denotes advancing. (But) advancing is sure to lead to being wounded; and hence Zin is succeeded by Ming |. [| denotes being wounded. He who is wounded abroad will return to his home; and hence Ming I is followed by Kia Zan.
37-40. When the right administration of the family is at an end, misunderstanding and division will ensue; and hence Kid Z&n is followed by Khwei. Khwei denotes misunderstanding and division; and such a state is sure to give rise to difficulties and complications. Khwei therefore is followed by Kien. Kien denotes difficulties; but things cannot remain for ever in sucha state. Kien therefore is followed by Xieh, which denotes re- laxation and ease.
40-44. In a state of relaxation and ease there are sure to be losses; and hence Xieh is followed SECT. II. APPENDIX VI. 437 by Sun. But when Sun (or diminution) is going on without end, increase is sure to come. Sun therefore is followed by Yi. When increase goes on without end, there is sure to come a dispersing of it, and hence Yi is followed by Kwai. Kwai denotes dispersion. But dispersionmust be succeeded by a meeting (again). Hence Kwai is followed by Kau, which denotes such meeting.
44-48. When things meet together, a collection is then formed. Hence K4u is followed by 3hui, which name denotes being collected. When (good men) are collected and mount to the highest places, there results what we call an upward advance; and hence 3hui is followed by Shang. When such advance continues without stopping, there is sure to come distress; and hence Shang is followed by Khwan. When distress is felt in the height (that has been gained), there is sure to be a return to the ground beneath; and hence KhwAn is followed by Zing.
48, 49. What happens under 3ing requires to be changed, and hence it is followed by Ko (denoting change).
49-55. For changing the substance of things there is nothing equal to the caldron; and hence K6 is followed by Ting. For presiding over (that and all other) vessels, no one is equal to the eldest son, and hence Ting is followed by Kan. AdaAnconveys the idea of putting in motion. But things cannot be kept in motion for ever. The motion is stopped; and hence Xn is followed by K4n, which gives the idea of arresting or stopping. Things cannot be kept for ever in a state of repression, and hence Kan is followed by Kien, which gives the idea of 438 THE APPENDIXES. SECT. Il.
(gradually) advancing. With advance there must be a certain point that is arrived at, and hence Kien is succeeded by Kwei Mei. When things thus find the proper point to which to come, they are sure to become great. Hence Kwei Mei is succeeded by Fang, which conveys the idea of being great.
55-57. He whose greatness reaches the utmost possibility, is sure to lose his dwelling; and hence Fang is succeeded by Lii (denoting travellers or strangers). We have in it the idea of strangers who have no place to receive them, and hence Lii is followed by Sin, which gives the idea of (penetrating and) entering.
57-59. One enters (on the pursuit of his object), and afterwards has pleasure in it; hence Siin is fol- lowed by Tui. Tui denotes pleasure and satis- faction. This pleasure and satisfaction (begins) afterwards to be dissipated, and hence Tui is fol- lowed by Hwan, which denotes separation and division.
59-62. A state of division cannot continue for ever, and therefore Hwan is followed by 3ieh. 3ieh (or the system of regulations) having been established, men believe in it, and hence it is fol- lowed by Kung Fd. When men have the belief which Kung Fd implies, they are sure to carry it into practice; and hence it is succeeded by Hsiao Kwo.
62-64. He that surpasses others is sure to remedy (evils that exist), and therefore Hsiao Kwo is succeeded by Ai 3i. But the succession of events cannot come to an end, and therefore Ki 3i is SECT, II. APPENDIX VI. 439 succeeded by Wei 31, with which (the hexagrams) come to a close.
The few sentences on this Appendix in the Introduction, pp. 54, 55, are sufficient. It shows the importance of the meaning of the name in the attempt to explain the lineal figures, and prepares us to expect on each one a brief enigmatical essay, which, it has been seen. is the nature of the Text. But the writer, whoever he was, is by no means careful always to follow that Text in the significance of the characters, as will appear in the few instances to which attention is called in the following notices. The treatise is too slight to require, or to justify, an exhibition of ail its inaccuracies.
1 But Xun does not denote filling up. It is the symbol of being in a state of distress and difficulty. The writer is thinking of the result of the interaction of heaven and earth as being to fill all between them with the various forms of living beings; and to represent that he gives the result of Aun, and not its meaning. He makes a blunder which might have been easily avoided, for he adds immediately that the character is descriptive of things on their first production.
2 It is difficult to follow the writer here. Hsii in the Text is the symbol of the idea of waiting. Does he mean that a provision of food and drink can only be made gradually? There is nothing in the character Hsii to awaken in the mind the idea of nourish- ment. Then the genesis of contention which is given is strange. The writer probably had in his mind the lines of the Shih, II, i, ‘The loss of kindly feeling oft From slightest things shall grow. Where all the fare is dry and spare, Resentments fierce may glow.’ But what is allowable, good even, in poetry, is out of place in this treatise.
8 Contention on a great scale will put all the population of a state in excitement and motion, and military measures of repression will be necessary. But the idea of the multitudes in Sze would seem to be simply that of number, and not that of a numerous host. In a feudal kingdom, however, all the able-bodied people might be required to join the army.
440 THE APPENDIXES. SECT. Il.
* Li, the name of the roth hexagram, is the symbol for a shoe, and the act of treading orwalking. It seems here to be derived from the homophonous If, the symbol of actsof ceremony. The identity of sound or name must be considered as accidental. A measured step would be one of the first ways in which the inward sense of propriety would manifest itself.
* By the subject of Ta YQ and AXhien we must understand the possessor of the kingdom,—the great man who in his greatness is yet distinguished by humility. He attracts followers.
° For the true meaning of Af and Lin, the names of hexa- grams 18, Ig, see what is said in the notes on the Text of them.
" The same reference should be made to the notes on the Text of Hsien and many of the other hexagrams that follow.
APPENDIX VII.
Treatise on the Hexagrams taken promiscuously, according to the opposition or diversity of their meaning.
This last of the Appendixes is touched on very briefly in the concluding paragraph of the Introduction, p. 55. It is stated there to be in rhyme, and I have endeavoured to give a similar form to the following version of it. The rhymes and length of the lines in the original, however, are very irregular, and I found it impossible to reproduce that irregularity in English.
3 Strength in Ahien, weakness in Khwan we find.
Pi shows us joy, and Sze the anxious mind.
Lin gives, Kwan seeks;—such are the several themes Their different figures were to teach de- signed.
Kun manifests itself, yet keeps its place; ‘Mid darkness still, to light Mang sets its face.
Kan starts; Kan stops. In Sun and Yi are seen How fulness and decay their course begin.
Ta Kht keeps still, and waits the proper time.
Witt Wang sets forth how evil springs from crime.
Leen 2 lea oe lel: THE APPENDIXES.
Good men in 3hui collect; in Shang they rise: kKhien itself, Yii others doth despise.
Shih Ho takes eating for its theme; and Pi Takes what is plain, from ornament quite free.
Tui shows its scope, but Sun’s we do not see.
Sui quits the old; Kf makes a new decree.
We see in Po its subject worn away; And Fd shows its recovering from decay.
Above in 3in the sun shines clear and bright; But in Ming I ’tis hidden from the sight.
Progress in Zing in Khwan encounters blight.

Relief and ease with Xieh are sure to come; Hard toil and danger have in Kien their home.
Khwei looks on others as beyond its care; #ia Zan all includes within its sphere.
