A painting inspired by the hexagram “The Creative Above. The Abysmal Below”. The I Ching offers the image:
Heaven and water go their opposite ways:
- The image of Conflict.
- Thus in all his transactions the superior man
- Carefully considers the beginning.
In times of strife, crossing the great water is to be avoided, that is, dangerous enterprises are not to be begun, because in order to be successful they require concerted unity of focus. Conflict within weakens the power to conquer danger without.
The above interpretation is from Richard Wilhelm's version of the I Ching..
