I suggest that we follow their twofold agendas (not rigidly, necessarily) and also the pattern they use to group the wings in making their arguments. This gives us a clear structure and a methodology with a credible pedigree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can reserve their chapter for \u201cin house\u201d use, adopting their (seemingly rational) schedule without insisting on becoming unnecessarily involved with their particular goals; this will provide us with the option of using whatever material from their chapter we may find useful, without encumbering KTK\u2019s presentations and to avoid possibly leading the other participants into get tangled up with the details of the authors\u2019 specific agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(I suggest we do make the whole \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/acrobat.adobe.com\/link\/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:2f94a9f3-efb8-3836-9e8a-5099d9037b2d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appendix<\/a>\u201d of Richard Rutt\u2019s translation of the I Ching (i.e., a complete translation of the Ten Wings) available for any interested participants to read individually as we go, however.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first leg of the argument in chapter four involves three pieces of text that were, they think, \u201ccrucial in the transformation\u201d of \u201cthe original oracles into a system of signs for moral and metaphysical discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three are the Tuanzhuan (#1), the Xiangzhuan (the name they use for the combined wings Daxiang (#2 of our original list) &amp; Xiaoxiang (#3 of the same original list), and the Wenyan (original #5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that we can handle those texts originally listed (by Rutt) as #1-3 and #5 in one long session (March 12\u2013 our first \u201cstudy session\u201d). We would then be postponing presentation and discussion of the dense, lengthy (and probably particularly important) Great Treatise (the Dazhuan, originally Rutt\u2019s wing # 4) until the next week (March 19), which might appear to be hopping around a little, but I think that\u2019s ok\u2014 recall that in some reckonings, the Wenyan already came before the Dazhuan, so we really are just following an alternate iteration which happily dovetails nicely with the argument in Redmond &amp; Kon\u2019s chapter 4, and which has a historical precedent of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second leg of the argument in chapter 4 of \u201cTeaching the I Ching\u201d involves the \u201cGreat Commentary\u201d and all the remaining texts (Shuogua, Xugua, &amp; Zagua). Succinctly stated, this argument assumes that \u201dthe transformation from divination to philosophy was never a replacxement of one mode of knowledge with (another), but was\u2026\u201dthe culmination of pre-Imperial scholastic studies of the Yi\u2014 a process of deliberate synthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-dark-gray-background-color has-dark-gray-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-dark-gray-background-color has-dark-gray-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color:#982628\" class=\"has-inline-color\">STAY IN TOUCH<\/span><br><strong>We\u2019ll keep you posted on the latest events, updates and news.<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n<div class=\"wpforms-container wpforms-container-full wpforms-block\" id=\"wpforms-1948\"><form id=\"wpforms-form-1948\" class=\"wpforms-validate wpforms-form wpforms-ajax-form\" data-formid=\"1948\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" action=\"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F1911\" data-token=\"bc5cd7b7dfdadb4758f9a3382b37b5e6\"><noscript class=\"wpforms-error-noscript\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.<\/noscript><div class=\"wpforms-field-container\"><div id=\"wpforms-1948-field_1-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-name\" data-field-id=\"1\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-1948-field_1\">Name <span class=\"wpforms-required-label\">*<\/span><\/label><div class=\"wpforms-field-row wpforms-field-medium\"><div class=\"wpforms-field-row-block wpforms-first wpforms-one-half\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-1948-field_1\" class=\"wpforms-field-name-first wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][1][first]\" required><label for=\"wpforms-1948-field_1\" class=\"wpforms-field-sublabel after \">First<\/label><\/div><div class=\"wpforms-field-row-block wpforms-one-half\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-1948-field_1-last\" class=\"wpforms-field-name-last wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][1][last]\" required><label for=\"wpforms-1948-field_1-last\" class=\"wpforms-field-sublabel after \">Last<\/label><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wpforms-1948-field_2-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-email\" data-field-id=\"2\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-1948-field_2\">Email <span class=\"wpforms-required-label\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"email\" id=\"wpforms-1948-field_2\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][2]\" spellcheck=\"false\" required><\/div><\/div><!-- .wpforms-field-container --><div class=\"wpforms-submit-container\" ><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"wpforms[id]\" value=\"1948\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"wpforms[author]\" value=\"1\"><button type=\"submit\" name=\"wpforms[submit]\" id=\"wpforms-submit-1948\" class=\"wpforms-submit\" data-alt-text=\"Sending...\" data-submit-text=\"Submit\" aria-live=\"assertive\" value=\"wpforms-submit\">Submit<\/button><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sinological.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wpforms-lite\/assets\/images\/submit-spin.svg\" class=\"wpforms-submit-spinner\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"26\" height=\"26\" alt=\"Loading\"><\/div><\/form><\/div>  <!-- .wpforms-container -->\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-dark-gray-background-color has-dark-gray-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A ROADMAP FOR STUDYING &#8220;THE TEN WINGS&#8221;From Rutt\u2019s \u201cAppendix\u201d&#8230;
