Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form, this hexagram can share context with hexagrams 49, 50, and 28.
__ _ __ _______ __ _ __ __ _ __ T17
At all times, the path into hexagram 30 is that of 55 - abundance, fullness. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 30 is forced to go through the characteristics of 55
At all times the path out of hexagram 30 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 59 - disperse, clear away, dispel illusion. Thus the process of hexagram 30 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 59 to start.
Hexagram 30 finds it's roots in hexagram 62, Portraying, with the emphasis on hamming things-up(acting) developing into teaching - a guiding light.
As we progress towards the refined point at the top of the hexagram, so we pass through ever-improving states, the description of which is given by the order of contextual hexagrams. The final contextual state, prior to text and context becoming 'one', is described by the line 5 influence - hexagram 49, unmasking, revealing.
For hexagram 30, the contextual hexagrams sequence from the base line through to the top is:
At a finer level of analysis, the contextual hexagrams encapsulate the behaviour of a hexagram pair - where one is connected to the unchanging line and the other to the line when it changes.These pairs are shown below, with The layout format described here
