Large Intestine “types” are often cultural or spiritual heroes or martyrs, such as Confucius and Jesus Christ. A healthy Large Intestine has the ability to transcend between this world and the netherworld. It knows how to let go of the old and make room for the new, and must do this in order to survive.

Rape is always a Yangming pathology and Hexagram 34 can sometimes be about celebrating Yang by humiliating Yin.
