Overview
The hexagram Yi represents the image of nourishment. All living beings must be nourished in order to live, and worthy people must be nourished in order to be useful. Therefore the sages were extremely careful about the way of "nourishment." For example, Kongzi "did not seek to be full when eating" and "would not eat meat that was not cut properly." There are two kinds of nourishment: being nourished by others, or "seeking sustenance" to nourish oneself.
