Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi and the Small Hexagram (Genxia Zhenshang)

Xiao Guo, Heng, Li Zhen; But small things, not big things; The sound of the bird is not suitable for going up, it is suitable for going down, and it is auspicious.

"Yi" said: The small is too small, and the small one is too long. Over Elizhen, with the times. Soft, it is a small thing; Just out of position and not hit, it is also a "big deal". There is the image of a flying bird: the bird leaves its sound, it is not suitable to go up, it is suitable to go down, it is auspicious, and it is good to go up and down.

Interpretation: excessive, excessive, excessive. Small, refers to yin, villain, trivial things, etc. Small hexagram, the outer four yin more than the inner two yang, the yin is called small, so it is called small. A small transgression is a small one, a trivial one, or a small one. If you are more cautious and cautious, you can be diligent with small things, and there will be no major troubles, so you can prosper.

From a small place and prosperous, the benefit is in the chastity and self-defense. The fundamental reason is that "keeping up with the times".

Yin occupies the second and fifth positions, and it is feminine and soft; Yang Yao occupies the third and fourth positions, and he is out of position. If you are feminine, you can make small things auspicious, but you can't help big things; Masculine can be a great thing.

It is a bad omen that flies in the sky and chirps, and it will surely attract the huntsman to kill it. Therefore, it is not advisable to go up and down, the target is obvious in the sky, it is not as safe as flying low and falling into the jungle, only by doing so can it be very auspicious. It shows that when it is a small mistake, it is against reason to drill and climb upwards, and it is logical to keep oneself downward.

"Elephant" said: There is thunder on the mountain, and it is too small; A gentleman is too respectful, too mourning, and too thrifty.

Interpretation: Thunder is great in the sky, and out of the earth it goes up to the mountains, and its voice is only too small. Doing too much, mourning too much, using too frugality, all of them are small mistakes of a gentleman.

On the sixth day of the first month, the birds are fierce.

"Elephant" said: Birds are fierce, and they can't do anything.

Interpretation: The sixth day of the first month is the beginning of a small one, and it is easy to be scornful of the small, and there is a danger.

Sixty-two, past its ancestors, meet its concubines; If you are not the king, you will meet his ministers; No blame.

"Elephant" said: If you are not the king, the minister cannot pass.

Interpretation: Grandfather, grandfather; Grandmother, grandmother, aunt. Sixty-two missed his grandfather, and treated his grandmother well; If you can't get close to the king, then wait for the king you meet. Don't be ambitious, only by grasping the present can you be blameless.

Ninety-three, Fu overguarded, or from the killing, fierce.

"Elephant" said: Or from the killing, how fierce is it.

Interpretation: from, with indulgence, indulgence. Kill, harm. Jiusan has just been in a strong position, relying on his strength and not being overly guarded, and he may be victimized by his indulgence and indulgence, which shows how serious the danger is.

Ninety-four, no blame, Fu has encountered it; If you are strong, you must abstain, and do not use eternal chastity.

"Elephant" said: If you meet it, you can't do it properly. If you go hard, you must quit, and you can't grow long.

Interpretation: Ninety-four is not appropriate for rigidity and softness, so it can be rigid and soft, pay attention to details, and do not cross it when encountering yin, so there is no blame. Ninety-four should always be chaste and upright, and must not go up, otherwise it will lead to rapid destruction.

Sixty-five, dense clouds and no rain, self-western suburbs; Gong Yi takes the other in the hole.

"Elephant" said: Dense clouds do not rain, and it has been on it.

Interpretation: Yi, an arrow with a rope that can be pulled back after being shot. Six-five yin occupies the honorable position, there is no yang response, no yang and can not turn rain, so although Miyun comes from the west, it can't rain, and it can't help the world. Because of its gloomy vigor and excessive caution, it is so meticulous that it only shoots the beasts hidden in the cave with arrows with ropes. It has been up, which means that the yin of 651 has been too yang, and it is on the yang.

On the sixth, the Buddha has encountered it, the birds have left it, and the fierce is called a disaster.

"Elephant" said: Fu has encountered it, and it has been hyperactive.

Interpretation: Leave, suffer together, encounter misfortune. Disaster refers to natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is excessive, which means that it has been too much, and it cannot be passed again. The upper six yin qi is so strong that it is excessive, like a bird flying poorly, and finally has nothing to do and is shot and killed, so it is dangerous, and this is to blame.
