Nourishment

Hexagram Nourishment shows where the situation asks not for fear-based guessing, but for the exact rhythm of change.

Translation · final OmenHall editorial review, not independent-human/academic verified

Nourishment: constancy is auspicious. Observe nourishment; seek from yourself what fills the mouth.

口实 is kept as what fills the mouth/food; broader ethical application belongs to interpretation.

Line 1 · 爻辭

初九：舍尔灵龟，观我朵颐，凶。

Initial Nine: you abandon your numinous tortoise and look at me with hanging jaws. Misfortune.

灵龟 is a divinatory tortoise image; 朵颐 literally evokes moving/hanging jaws.

六二：颠颐，拂经，于丘颐，征凶。

Six in the Second: inverted nourishment, going against the constant. Seeking nourishment on the hill: to set out is ominous.

颠颐 / 拂经 are compact and interpretively loaded; draft remains close.

Line 3 · 爻辭

六三：拂颐，贞凶，十年勿用，无攸利。

Six in the Third: going against nourishment. Constancy: misfortune. For ten years do not use it. Nothing is beneficial.

拂頤 is a terse relation to nourishment and 十年勿用 is a conventional long-duration formula. The line is historical oracle wording, not a literal ten-year behavioral instruction for the user.

Six in the Fourth: inverted nourishment, auspicious. A tiger’s gaze, intent and intent; its desire, pursuing and pursuing. No blame.

Ten Wings: 10/10 segments have pinned remote source identity, while validated local text remains 0/10. This reading therefore exposes provenance/context mapping only and inserts no commentary text. Tuan/Xiang/Wenyan remain separate from Zhouyi Core; Xici/Shuogua/Xugua/Zagua are not presented as if they directly comment on this specific cast.

Ten Wings provenance / segmentation

context map: ICHING_TEN_WINGS_CONTEXT_MAP_V1_20260827

Association of the Ten Wings with Confucius may be described as traditional attribution, not as an established modern historical fact.

Wikisource currently presents 彖 in one page and splits 象 as 大象/小象. Those web-page divisions are not adopted as OmenHall canonical wing boundaries. OmenHall keeps traditional 彖上/下 and 象上/下 by upper/lower hexagram canon, while 大象/小象 remain internal Xiang subtypes.

The attribution/ShareAlike engineering path is prepared for 10/10 segments, but the owner's license-path acceptance remains pending. Kanseki's published label is retained as “CC BY SA” without inventing an unstated version.

OmenHall completed its own AI-assisted editorial review of 450/450 source-bound RU/EN translations and applied 13 final corrections. This is a product editorial baseline, not independent human or academic verification: human sign-off 0/450, academic VERIFIED 0/450. Philological notes remain visible for 353/450 higher-risk passages.

Ten Wings: 10/10 remote source identities are pinned and canonical segmentation is mapped; validated local text 0/10. This is a separate later scholar/commentary layer. Until a local validated corpus exists it stays fail-closed and does not block the core Zhouyi content/logic freeze.

OmenHall modern interpretation must be labeled as modern application, never as translation or ancient commentary.

OmenHall modern interpretation · the section below is modern application. It is not a translation of the Zhouyi and it is not the Ten Wings.

Situation

The theme sits in the field of nourishment: it is important to see what has ripened and what still needs form.

Advice

Take one clear step, name the boundary, and do not turn the sign into a guarantee of outcome.

Caution

I Ching does not replace legal, medical, financial, or psychological help.

How to read lines

  • • First read Nourishment as the state of the question, not as a promise of an event.
  • • If there are changing lines, they show not a second prediction, but the place where the situation has begun to move.
  • • The resulting hexagram is read as the direction of transformation, not as a guaranteed outcome.

A changing line does not cancel the main hexagram. It shows the seam through which the old form is already turning into a new one.

For day and decision

Daily I Ching

On a Nourishment day, look for one small step that fits the rhythm of the moment. Do not turn the whole day into a hexagram test.

I Ching for decisions

For a decision, Nourishment asks not “what will definitely happen,” but “which action is ripe now, and which is premature.”

Reflection questions

  • • Where is the movement here, and where is resistance?
  • • Which small step fits the timing?
  • • What must be accepted as fact?

Small practice

  • • Write the question in one line without naming another person if it can be phrased through your own choice.
  • • Mark what is already fact, what is fear, and what is still only assumption.
  • • After the reading, choose one step for the next 24 hours, not a plan for your entire fate.

Journal

  • • Where does the theme of “Nourishment” appear in my situation?
  • • What fact must I accept before asking for a sign?
  • • Which step is small enough not to break the balance?

Reading boundary

I Ching in OmenHall does not diagnose, replace professionals, or guarantee the future. It is a language of timing, choice, and proportion.

The best ending for an I Ching reading is to name one fact, one risk, one step, and one time when you will return to the question without compulsive repetition.
