They shed their hair, fur and nails everyday in a cleansing ritual of organization, animal wilderness and societal morphing. The hexagrams are talking about how a person change his habits everyday according to their wills. It talks about the will power and the long lasting impact of daily transformation that makes up these animal figures. It’s not talking about how political these changes are. But it indicates the mundaneness of these changes as themselves revolutionary. Etc.
