Chapter 29 The meaning of the hexagram "Tun".
The training course for selected students, starting from Tuesday, will be systematically trained by the teachers of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, the basic theory of the party and the basic theory of political economy; During the period, Zhou Kunshan, director of the Youth Cadre Division of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, also came to the class and gave a lecture on the party class; Encourage the candidates to be psychologically prepared, take root at the grassroots level, and give full play to their wisdom and talents at the grassroots level; Do more practical things for the people and do more good things; Strive to do something in the broad world of the grassroots level.
There are no classes on Saturdays and Sundays, so everyone can play freely; Early on Saturday morning, Zhang Jianshe went back to Zhongjiang University after eating; Yue Haohan also wanted to go back to Jianghan University, and there was nothing special about going back to school; I thought to myself, it is better to meditate for two days in the party school; Think about the future between yourself and Cheng Ziying, and consider the positioning of your future career.
Chatting with Zhang Jianshe on Monday night, Zhang Jianjian's thoughts still touched Yue Haohan a lot; I have always wanted to study traditional Chinese culture; What I have always wanted is to work hard in the development of traditional culture after graduating from graduate school; But now that he has become a 'selected student', how should he position his future goals? It's time to think about what path you should take in the future.
After dinner, take a walk around the campus; If I feel bored, I go back to the dormitory; I simply cleaned up the room, took the clothes I changed yesterday to the bathroom, washed them, and dried them on the balcony of the corridor, and then picked up the book "Easy Learning and Life" that I bought in the bookstore that day, and flipped through it casually; After reading it, I feel that this book still has some novel ideas; In particular, the evaluation of the "Book of Changes" in the preface: "How can a "Book of Changes" hide so many mysteries of life, determining the good fortune and misfortune of the king and the people? In those 64 hexagrams, how do we include the lives of all living beings, how do we grasp the life code of everyone from ancient times to the present, and determine the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of each of us? ”
Looking at this evaluation, Yue Haohan smiled and said in his heart: "It seems that the author's evaluation of the Book of Changes is a bit too high!" In fact, isn't the Book of Changes based on the view of the five elements of yin and yang, using the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, and the theory of eliminating the strengths of one to summarize the positive and negative changes of the entire heaven and earth? Take a look at the following paragraph, where the author compares the I Ching to a map on the journey of life; It reads: "If life is compared to a journey, we are personally walking on this journey of ups and downs." Sometimes we can't see the direction, we don't know what to do next, we don't know whether the next section is a smooth road or a ravine. The Book of Changes is the map of life's journey; When you are familiar with the Book of Changes, you will know your life path clearly, just like after having a map, even if you go to a strange place, you will not get lost. ”
Seeing this, Yue Haohan thought to himself: "Actually, isn't it a strange place in life now?" Isn't my current situation like that of a lost traveler? Thinking of this, Yue Haohan remembered Master Deng Xuanchang's own gossip prediction method; Why not use Deng Xuanchang's method to start a hexagram and predict your current situation? In fact, many times, Yue Haohan's gossip predictions about his godfather Deng Xuanchang are still very 'slanderous'.
Thinking of making a hexagram prediction, Yue Haohan got up, found paper and pen in the room, and then used the easiest method of number hexagram taught by Deng Xuanchang; I thought of a three-digit number at random; Then after calculating a hexagram, Yue Haohan looked at the hexagram as the third hexagram "Tun" hexagram in the Book of Changes.
Yue Haohan is still very clear about the meaning of the "Tun" hexagram, the Tun hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams, the lower hexagram is a shock, and the upper hexagram is a kan. The earthquake is thunder, and the metaphor is moving; Kan is rain, water, and the moon, symbolizing danger. The kinetic energy of thunder encourages the development of all things, and the water can nourish and moisten all things. This hexagram is the image of the spring thunder sprouting the beginning of all things; The metaphor is that things will encounter difficulties and obstacles at the beginning, but as long as they follow the fortune of the times, everything that breaks through the difficulties will prosper.
Thinking about this "Tun" hexagram, it is still very much in line with my current situation and mood; I don't know how the book "I Ching and Life" explains the meaning of this hexagram.
Thinking about it, I opened the "I Ching and Life", found the third hexagram "Tun" and looked at it, only to see the hexagram explained in vernacular under the hexagram: "The Tun hexagram indicates that everything is difficult at the beginning, but through business planning and their own efforts, as well as team cooperation, it will gradually develop." Those who occupy this hexagram will have many disadvantages at the beginning of the career, and there will be many difficulties and obstacles, and they will know the difficulties and advance, if they cannot get rid of the predicament after hard work, they should retreat to preserve, wait for the opportunity, and then develop their ambitions. If you want to tide over difficulties, you must have others to help you, so those who receive this hexagram should pay more attention to interpersonal interactions and always show kindness to friends or colleagues. ”
Let's take a look at the following explanation in terms of seeking fame: "Those who occupy this hexagram have perseverance and perseverance in seeking fame, strong willpower, and an immeasurable future; If you actively strive for it and take the initiative to pursue, your career can be very successful. After reading this paragraph, Yue Haohan said in his heart: "It seems that this hexagram still says his current state of mind; What career is not difficult to start? As long as you have the perseverance to pursue your goals; I don't think I'm going to be able to achieve anything after all. I don't know how this hexagram explains marriage and love. ”
Thinking about it, he looked at it again: "This hexagram, in terms of marriage and love, although there will be setbacks in the early stage, but there are many good things, if you are firm and sincere and do not give up, and pursue boldly, you can finally succeed and have a happy marriage." ”
Putting down the book and lying down on the bed, Yue Haohan thought about the explanation of the hexagram he had just predicted; Thinking about what kind of difficulties and obstacles I will encounter in the future; Isn't it just that the working conditions in the countryside are relatively poor, so what difficulties can there be? Perhaps the difficulties in the future will not lie in the quality of the environment; Maybe it's from work. Thinking about the marriage explanation of the "Tun" hexagram in "I Ching and Life", is there just a setback between himself and Ziying? As long as he and Ziying are sincere to each other, can they really be happy in the end? Thinking about it, not only did I doubt the prediction just now; After thinking about it like this for a while, Yue Haohan said in his heart: "Gossip prediction, isn't it fun, just open up your own thinking." ”
When Yue Haohan predicted his current situation; At the bus stop at the gate of Jianghan University, Cheng Ziying, accompanied by Li Xiaohui, was waiting for the bus to go to the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee of Wangjiang District to visit Yue Haohan; After the two got on the bus, Li Xiaohui said: "Ziying, did your mother's letter tell you that the work has been arranged." ”
Cheng Ziying said: "Well, the letter said that the Financial Office of the Donghai Municipal Government has accepted me, and I can report to work when I go back after graduation; But I still don't want to go back to the East China Sea, so I want to stay in Zhongnan Province or Jianghan City to work; Or go to graduate school at Jianghan University. ”
Li Xiaohui said: "Ziying, I know, you don't want to be too far away from the vastness; As far as the relationship between the two of you is concerned, I think that no matter how far away it is, it will not stop your relationship; Sometimes when I think about it, I really envy you! However, I still advise you that since your work has been arranged at home, you should go back to work first; It is also a test of the relationship between the two of you in the past four years, and see if you can go through the wind and rain and experience the torture of long distances! ”
Cheng Ziying smiled bitterly, resisted Li Xiaohui and said: "You ghost girl, when are you still making fun of me, anyway, it's not you who tortures, you definitely won't feel it!" ”
Li Xiaohui smiled and said: "However, Ziying, you really went back to work in Donghai City, I can help you keep an eye on your Hanzi, supervise him, dare to do something sorry for my Ziying in Central South Province, let's clean him up together!" ”
Hearing Li Xiaohui say this, Cheng Ziying asked, "Xiaohui, is your work also decided?" If you don't go back to Western Sichuan Province, do you want to stay in Jianghan City? ”
Li Xiaohui sighed and said: "That person said that this year, the Central South Provincial Department of Finance asked our school for a few fresh graduates; He came forward to contact him, and the school recommended me too, and it is estimated that it is not a big problem to stay in Jianghan to work; Alas! My family situation, remembering that I really want to go back to western Sichuan, my heart is dead; Once you've worked, start from scratch! ”
Feeling that the words just now touched Li Xiaohui's sadness again, Cheng Ziying deliberately changed the topic and said: "Xiaohui, after you work in the future, you can take your parents to Jianghan to live." ”
Li Xiaohui said: "Ziying, how easy is that? What I think now is that as long as I have a good job, I can reduce the burden on my family; If you can help your brother as much as possible, your younger siblings will do it; Now my biggest wish is that my brother can please the courtesy. ”
Cheng Ziying sighed: "Four years are so fast, think about the day we reported for our freshman year, it was like what happened yesterday, in the past four years, the eight of us have really gotten along with brothers and sisters; Sometimes I feel closer than my brother and sister, and I think that I will soon go our separate ways; It's really not a taste in my heart, I don't want to think about it; I wish it would be nice to keep it like this! ”
Li Xiaohui looked at Cheng Ziying's sad emotion, and then smiled and said, "Okay, Ziying, in fact, none of us are in such a mood!" ”
After speaking, Li Xiaohui hesitated, turned his head to look at Cheng Ziying and said, "Ziying, I see that I am about to graduate; I think next week, when Hanzi finishes his training, I'll ask that person to book a table for the eight of us at the Education Hotel; The eight of us brothers and sisters are together, so happy and happy, how about carnival? ”
Cheng Ziying glanced at Li Xiaohui and said, "Xiaohui, I understand your feelings; But it's not good to do that, I'm afraid that the vast will know and won't agree; If you let that person arrange it, it is estimated that Haohan's heart will be very uncomfortable; Or I'll arrange it then! ”
Li Xiaohui said: "Ziying, in the four years of college, I have never invited you once; Every time you are helping me, every time you invite me, this time let me ask once, you tell the vast sea in private; Let that person arrange it is also as it should be, alas! I gave him all my most precious things; He arranged, I had a treat, and it was decided. ”
The two chatted on the bus, and after transferring to a few buses, they got off at the Cedar Road stop in Wangjiang District; Entering the gate of the party school, the security guard glanced at the two people and didn't ask; Cheng Ziying and Li Xiaohui walked in the direction of the party school auditorium that they saw as soon as they entered the gate; On Saturdays, the party school campus is very quiet; Occasionally, a few people walked in it, which made it even more mysterious; Li Xiaohui sighed in his heart: "It seems that the place where cadres are trained is different, walking into this campus; There is a sense of sacredness and mystery, and I will be fortunate enough to train here when I can. ”
The two stood at the door of the auditorium, looking left and right; I didn't know where the students' living quarters were, so I walked slowly along the right hand side of the auditorium, on a tree-lined avenue shaded by French plane trees, towards the direction of the campus; The two of them were walking, and they saw that in front of them, a young woman with fair skin and elegant temperament came over with a boastful kunbao.
Seeing someone coming on; Cheng Ziying stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Comrade, I want to ask; Where do you live for the trainee training? ”
Hearing Cheng Ziying ask for directions, the young woman looked at Cheng Ziying and Li Xiaohui with a scrutinizing eye and said, "Elect the transfer class? Who are you looking for? ”
Cheng Ziying said: "Yes, we are looking for Yue Haohan, he is our classmate, we are coming to see him today." ”
Hearing that she was looking for Yue Haohan, the young woman glanced at Cheng Ziying a few more times, and said with a smile: "Even if you asked the right person today, I am the teacher of their class; Yue Haohan lives in dormitory building 403, and he walks forward from here. ”
After speaking, he smiled at Cheng Ziying and Li Xiaohui: "Go ahead, there is no class on Saturday; Estimate that the other person is in the dormitory. ”
After Cheng Ziying thanked her, she and Li Xiaohui continued to walk along the boulevard towards the dormitory; As soon as I arrived on the fourth floor of the dormitory building, I saw a girl preparing to go downstairs; After seeing Cheng Ziying and Li Xiaohui, he stopped and said, "May I ask which one are you looking for?" Cheng Ziying smiled and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Yue Haohan from the transfer class." The girl said: "Yue Haohan lives in 403, and the third room is the left corner in front." After speaking, the girl looked Cheng Ziying up and down again, and then turned around and went downstairs.
Arrived at the door of room 403; The door is closed; Listening to it, there was no movement, Cheng Ziying said in her heart: "I won't come all the way to see him, he's not here." Thinking about it, he knocked on the door, but there was no movement; Li Xiaohui stepped forward and knocked twice heavily, and then he heard Yue Haohan's voice coming from the room: "Who!" Hold on! ”
After a while, the door opened; A cool wind blew towards Cheng Ziying and Li Xiaohui, and the two of them suddenly felt refreshed and comfortable; It was indeed hot and thirsty after walking for a long time.
