Small Excess

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

小过：亨。利贞。可小事，不可大事。飞鸟遗之音，不宜上宜下，大吉。

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

Small Exceeding: free passage. Constancy is beneficial. Small matters may be done; great matters may not. A flying bird leaves its call. It is not fitting to go upward; fitting to go downward. Great auspiciousness.

The bird and up/down formulas remain source imagery; they are not automatic literal travel or aviation instructions.

初六：飞鸟以凶。

Initial Six: the flying bird thereby brings misfortune.

以 is compact; causal force remains slightly open.

六二：过其祖，遇其妣；不及其君，遇其臣；无咎。

Six in the Second: passing beyond the grandfather and meeting the grandmother; not reaching the ruler and meeting his minister. No blame.

祖/妣 and 君/臣 form paired hierarchical relations; translation preserves the source’s kin-political structure.

九三：弗过防之，从或戕之，凶。

Nine in the Third: if one does not go beyond, guard against it. Following may injure him. Misfortune.

弗过防之，从或戕之 is syntactically difficult; this is a high-priority draft rather than settled translation.

九四：无咎，弗过遇之。往厉必戒，勿用永贞。

Nine in the Fourth: no blame. Without exceeding, meet it. To go is dangerous; one must be on guard. Do not use enduring constancy.

弗过遇之 is terse; “without exceeding, meet it” stays close.

六五：密云不雨，自我西郊，公弋取彼在穴。

Six in the Fifth: dense clouds, no rain, from our western outskirts. The duke shoots with a tethered arrow and takes the one in the cave.

弋 is tethered-arrow hunting; the object in the cave is not specified in the source and is not invented.

Line 6 · 爻辭

上六：弗遇过之，飞鸟离之，凶，是谓灾眚。

Top Six: not meeting it, passing beyond it. The flying bird is caught in it. Misfortune. This is called disaster and calamity.

离之 can mean be caught/encounter separation; the draft follows a calamity-oriented reading and flags it.

Ten Wings · 十翼 · later commentary

Mapped commentary context

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 small excess: 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 Small Excess 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 Small Excess 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, Small Excess 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 “Small Excess” 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.
