10.3.4.5.6 > 11

There is an interesting discussion on Clarity regarding the memorization of hexagrams; the current ones are Hex10 and Hex11 and I thought the two make a compelling pairing. Hex10 is translated as "Treading (Conduct)" by Wilhelm and Blofeld; I like Huang's take on the name: "Fulfillment". Hex11 is translated as Peace by Wilhelm and even though I like very much, Huang believes that "Advance" is a better picture for it. "Fulfillment" and "Advance" seem to me to go more hand-in-hand than "Treading" and "Peace". "Conduct" and "Peace" sound better, of course, but I still like Huang's take better.

As for the dialog, well, read the text of the hexagrams and it'll make sense...
