Sign “I Ching” FU, ch.61
Richard Wilhelm: Comments: “The character for fu (“truth”) is actually the image of a bird’s foot on a chick. It suggests the idea of brooding. An egg is hollow. The light-giving power must work to quicken it from without, but there must be a germ of life within, if life is to be awakened. Far-reaching speculations can be linked to these ideas.”
