IChing : 1. 乾 Qian Heaven (The Creative) - with Chinese characters as prompts

Design notes : Trying out Chinese characters in Midjourney taken from the Book of Changes (IChing). Chinese characters only were used as prompts. The resulting images relate to the text.

One issue is that Midjourney will often add Chinese characters writing on the image. The text has been run through online translators but to very limited effect. Since the actual meaning of the characters could well be nonsense it is best to erase it out. An alternative which works occasionally in version 7 is using : --no text, character, letters in the prompt.

1.0 Begin with an offering; beneficial to divine.
元亨利貞.

1.1 Hidden dragon, do not act.
初九潛龍勿用.

1.2 The dragon is seen in the field.
It is favorable to see the powerful person.
九二見龍在田. 利見大人.

1.3 The upright person strives energetically all day long.
Vigilant day and night, thus averting blame.
九三君子終日乾乾. 夕惕若厲. 无咎.

1.4 Sudden leap into the whirlpool.
Blame averted.
九四或躍在淵. 无咎
