Adapting itself to obstacles and bending around them, wood in the earth grows upward without haste and without rest. Thus too the superior man is devoted in character and never pauses in his progress.

A superior person achieves victory in the same fashion as a superior army: by putting his inferior emotions under the guidance of his superior emotions, and by proceeding cautiously, modestly, and with the continual goal of achieving peace and detachment. -Hexagram 7, Shih

Exploring the Wisdom of the I Ching

The I Ching, also known as the Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text that has been revered for thousands of years. Rooted in Taoist philosophy and mysticism, the I Ching is more than just a system of divination; it is a profound guide to understanding the dynamic nature of the universe and the patterns of change that shape our lives. In this blog, we will delve into the rich history, philosophy, and practical applications of the I Ching, exploring how this timeless oracle can offer insight and wisdom for navigating the complexities of our modern world.

The Origins and History:

The origins of the I Ching can be traced back to ancient China, where it was initially developed as a manual for divination around 3,000 years ago. Its creation is often attributed to the legendary sage Fu Xi, who is said to have discovered the eight trigrams, the fundamental building blocks of the I Ching, while contemplating the patterns of nature. Over the centuries, the text evolved and expanded, incorporating the wisdom of subsequent scholars and philosophers, including the famous Confucius.

The Structure of the I Ching:

At its core, the I Ching consists of 64 hexagrams, each composed of six stacked lines, either broken (yin) or unbroken (yang). These hexagrams represent various archetypal situations and states of being, offering a nuanced view of the ever-changing nature of existence. The combinations of yin and yang lines within each hexagram create a unique symbol, accompanied by a poetic description that serves as a guide to interpreting its meaning.

Philosophical Underpinnings:

The philosophy underlying the I Ching is deeply rooted in Taoism, emphasising the principles of Yin and Yang, the interplay of opposites, and the cyclical nature of change. The text encourages individuals to align themselves with the natural flow of energy, known as the Tao, and to adapt to the constant transformations in life. The I Ching teaches that change is inevitable, and by understanding its patterns, one can navigate through challenges with grace and wisdom.

Practical Applications:

While the I Ching is often associated with divination, its practical applications extend far beyond fortune-telling. Many users turn to the I Ching for guidance on decision-making, problem-solving, and gaining insight into personal development. The process of consulting the oracle involves casting a set of coins or using yarrow sticks to generate a hexagram, which is then interpreted in the context of the question or situation at hand. The responses provided by the I Ching are often thought-provoking and open to multiple interpretations, encouraging users to tap into their intuition and deeper understanding.

In a world marked by uncertainty and rapid change, the I Ching stands as a timeless source of wisdom, offering a profound perspective on the cyclical nature of existence. Whether used for divination or personal reflection, the I Ching provides a unique lens through which individuals can navigate the complexities of life with a sense of harmony and balance. By embracing its teachings, we can learn to flow with the currents of change, gaining insights that resonate across the ages.

All of this points to the power possessed by a superior personality. On the one hand, such a man will have a view of the real sentiments of the great mass of humanity and therefore cannot be deceived; on the other, he will impress the people so profoundly, by his mere existence and by the impact of his personality, that they will be swayed by him as the grass by the wind.

"[There is] fantastic news for species conservation after new populations of the gorgeous ‘Skywalker’ gibbon, known to science for only 6 years, were recently found living in the politically chaotic nation of Myanmar.

Also called the hoolock gibbon, this dainty vocalist was first described in 2017 living in the extreme south of China on a mountain in Yunnan. Classified as Endangered by the IUCN, the population was estimated to number a paltry 150 individuals, but others were believed to live in Myanmar.

Even before the recent military junta usurped the president and plunged the country into civil war, Myanmar [was a difficult place to conduct field studies, especially extensive or ongoing ones, due to ongoing conflict.]

[Although they are] now in open revolt against the military junta, [the Myanmar states of Shan and Kachin] were nevertheless destinations for an intrepid team of scientists from the Nature Conservation Society Myanmar, Fauna & Flora International–Myanmar Programme, the IUCN’s ape specialist group, and field researchers from universities in England, China, and the US.

Together, they conducted acoustic surveys, collected non-invasive DNA sampling, and took photographs for morphological identification at six sites in Kachin State and three sites in Shan State. With the help of the Myanmar conservationists, the team also interviewed locals dwelling in rural forested areas, small conservation programs, and timber companies about the frequency of sightings and the hunting pressure.

Population estimates of unknown quality and scientific rigor conducted in 2013 suggested there might be 65,000 hoolock gibbons in Myanmar, but the matter became much more complicated after the classification of the Skywalker gibbon as a separate species from the eastern hoolock gibbon—where before they were confused as the same.

“We were able to genetically identify 44 new groups of Skywalker gibbons in Myanmar,” said senior author Tierra Smiley Evans, research faculty at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, and contributing author. “This is a huge resource and success story for Myanmar.”

These gibbons sing to each other at dawn for around 22 minutes, and consume 36 different plant species; choosing fruit first, and flowers later. They seldom sleep in the same tree two nights in a row to avoid predation, and can’t swim so are often confined to territories by river systems.

The team that discovered them in China in 2017 loved Star Wars, and called them tianxing which is Chinese pinyin for “heaven movement;” a nod not only to their favorite sci-fi franchise, but also to China’s ancient history. In the famous Book of Change [aka the I Ching] of the Zhou Dynasty [1046 BCE to 265 BCE], a divination poem refers to gibbons specifically, and uses tianxing as a verb to describe their movements.

The interviews were a source of great data for the scientists. For starters, nearly all individuals in both the Kachin and Shan states could identify a Skywalker gibbon by sight and by playback of its singing, lending the exercise a good degree of reliability...

“Biologists did not believe Skywalker gibbons could live in the small remaining patches in Southern Shan State before we started this project,” Pyae Phyo Aung, executive director of Nature Conservation Society Myanmar, told the UC Davis press.

“I am delighted with our field team members who have done an excellent job, within a short period of time, building community trust for further conservation actions. This area is degraded forest. It is really important for Myanmar and China to consider extending conservation approaches for the Skywalker gibbon to this new geographic area.”

Nearly 32,000 square kilometers, or around 8 million acres of forestland in Eastern Myanmar are suitable gibbon habitat, and while existing forest reserves like Paung Taung and Mae Nei Laung are quite large, they remain unprotected. For this reason, the survey team recommended they remain considered ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List until habitat protections improve."
