Information regarding the interpretation modelClassical Interpretation
The characters »decrease« (41) and »increase« show the beginning of flourishment and decay.
The image
At the foot of the mountain is the lake: the image of decrease. Thus the superior man tames his anger and inhibits his instincts.
The judgement
Decrease together with truthfulness has sublime good fortune without blame. One may be preserving. It furthers to undertake something. How is this done? One may use two small bowls for the sacrifice.

Follow the Path of the Dao: A Western Approximation
The interpretations shown above gradually moved away from Eastern concepts. Let us proceed even a little further. In this section I develop a model of interpretation from a Western perspective, more precisely: from the perspective of philosophical anthropology.
