THE APPENDIXES.
SECT. II.
• Li, the name of the roth hexagram, is the symbol for a shoe, and the act of treading or walking. It seems here to be derived from the homophonous lî, the symbol of acts of 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 Tå Ya and Khien 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 Ků and Lin, the names of hexagrams 18, 19, see what is said in the notes on the Text of them.
7 The same reference should be made to the notes on the Text of Hsien and many of the other hexagrams that follow.
