What an amazing undertaking!
Is it widely agreed upon that Heaven is Yang and Earth is Yin? Because everything I know tells me it's the opposite...I am curious about this bit!
Also, why "is not time for taking action" where is Time part of that? My understanding of Chinese is entirely practical and conversational, I don't really understand a lot of the syntax of more traditional phrases and concepts. Like I have no idea what 也 is doing at the end of that.
Hey @whatamidoing, thanks.
Yes, Heaven is yang and Earth is yin. I’ve never come across anything that contradicts that... where have you found that states otherwise? I’m intrigued.
The I Ching is all about time, more specifically the quality of any given moment.
I think there is also a typically paradoxical irony that the first (yang) line of the first (yang) hexagram says, “ok you’re inspired to change – now wait!”
The 也 character at the end of a sentence is a particle of affirmation, sort of like an exclamation mark...
