Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi's Great Zhuang Hexagram (Qianxia Zhenshang)

Big strong, Lizhen.

"Yi" said: Big strong, big strong also; Just moved, so strong. "Big strong, good faith", the big one is right. Zhengda is the love of heaven and earth.

Interpretation: Yang is called big, and yin is called small. In the Great Zhuang hexagram, the yang energy rises from the bottom, and the yang is soaked to four, so it is called big. And its virtue is dry and strong, and it is vibrating, strong and can rise up, so it is strong. Based on the sky, it is necessary to prevent strong injuries. At this time, Lizhen is needed. Lizhen means that all those who are strong should be upright and walk according to the right path, otherwise if they are not right, they will not be great.

The thunder is in the ground, and the creatures of heaven and earth have not yet been revealed; Thunder is in the sky, and the heart of heaven and earth creatures has been reached. If a gentleman understands the principle of "righteousness", then the situation of heaven and earth can also be known.

"Elephant" said: Thunder is in the sky, big and strong; The gentleman is rude.

Interpretation: Li, Li. Thunder in the sky, thunder mighty, strong and rising, momentum strong, at this time need to prevent excessive masculinity, so we need to abide by the right way, to reason.

The ninth day of the first month, strong on the toes, fierce and Fu.

"Elephant" said: Strong on the toes, its poor people.

Interpretation: Toe refers to the lowest toe of the human body, which is used to walk forward. At the beginning of the ninth year, the masculine is positive, and the ninety-fourth should not, without the assistance of femininity and moving forward more and more, so the poor and the poor. It takes femininity to complement each other to get rid of the evil of strong toes.

Ninety-two, Sadaji.

"Elephant" said: Ninety-two Zhenji, Yizhong also.

Interpretation: Ninety-two holds, two-five should be auspicious.

Ninety-three, the villain uses the strong, and the gentleman uses the reckless. Jungyoshi. The lamb touches the domain and raises its horns.

"Elephant" said: The villain is strong, and the gentleman is reckless.

Interpretation: 罔, death, none, here refers to supple and low-key. Lambs, rams, strong sheep. 羸lei, bound entanglement. Jiusan is masculine, and when he is strong, the villain is high-profile and the gentleman is low-key. If it is high-profile, even if it is chaste, there will be dangers, such as the strong cultivation rushes to the fence, and the horns are entangled and fierce.

Ninety-four, Zhenji, repentance. The feudal domain will never be successful, and it will be stronger than the public opinion.

"Elephant" said: The domain will never fail, and it is still in the past.

Interpretation: 輹, leather tied to the axle. Jiusi finally met Yin Yao at the head of the four yangs, so Zhenji repented, just like a ram broke the fence and the horns were not fetters. But Jiusi is the head of the four yangs after all, and the push of the three yangs inside the guard may be injured, just like the leather on the axle is broken. When going, it refers to the position of the ninth fourth to the fifth to be in the center and upright.

Sixty-five, mourning sheep in Yi, no regrets.

"Elephant" said: Losing the sheep is in the change, and the position is not appropriate.

Interpretation: Yi, field, that is, the side of the field. Liuwu uses the sheep lost in the field as a metaphor, indicating that the previous strong yang energy has completely dissipated, although it is a pity, but there is no regret. Improper position refers to the reason for the loss of sheep in 65 is due to improper position.

On the sixth day, the sheep touched the domain, and could not retreat, could not succeed, and had no benefit. It's hard and it's good.

"Elephant" said: can't retreat, can't succeed, unknown; If it is difficult, it will not be long.

Interpretation: So, into also. Detailed, refers to thoughtfulness. If the upper six yin yao are hung on the fence with the horns of a sheep that are strong, they will not be able to advance or retreat. In this way, of course, there is no benefit, but if you can fully consider the difficult situation in advance, and do not act blindly with force, but think twice, you will be auspicious.
