  Yi Jing, Oracle of the Moon


Fu - and bao

Sincerity or blessing?

Fu                Bao

 Both characters come probably from the same original character, the one at the top left. On oracle bones only bao (the second one) is used, with the meaning "support of the spirits, things will go as planned, or support of allies". See the article of Harmen Mesker

 You bao: you have support of the spirits and things will go as planned.

 This gives a very different meaning to hexagram 61. It explains the pigs and fishes: animals of good luck.
