Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi's Great Animal Hexagram (Qianxia Genshang)
Big animal, Lizhen; If you don't eat at home, you can get involved in the river.
"Yi" said: Big animal, strong and solid, glowing, new and virtuous, just on and still virtuous, can stop health, Dazheng also. "Don't eat at home", raise virtuous also. "Benefiting the river" should be heavenly.
Interpretation: Big animals are opposite to small animals. The yin of the small animal is weak, the yang is strong, and it is difficult to completely accumulate strength with weak strength, and it can only accumulate a small amount, which is called a small animal; The big animal is on the top, and the energy is strong, and the storage is large, so it is a big storage.
The big animal hexagram is the accumulation and cultivation of morality and wisdom, so it needs to be honest and upright. The lower hexagram of the big animal is strong, the upper hexagram is solid, and the two hexagrams are combined into a great detachment, so they are brilliant and can continuously improve their moral cultivation.
Shangjiu Yang just sits on the throne of the Sixth Five, symbolizing that the sage is admired by the Ming monarch, and the monarch is subordinate to the sage. Up to the top hexagram Gen Mountain, the lower hexagram is strong and promising, and the Gen can stop the health, so that it does not commit disasters and has no faults, and the person who accumulates is grand and in line with the right path.
Those who can become great will serve the country and be auspicious in the DPRK. The state should also pursue a policy of nurturing the virtuous, providing them with favorable living conditions and enjoying the benefits of the imperial court.
The 65 supple monarch should be the 92 masculine ministers, and the 92 is the middle of the hexagram and the Qiangua, and the dry is the sky, so it conforms to the law of the operation of the heavenly way, and it is natural to be able to wade across the river to accumulate its virtue.
"Elephant" said: The sky is in the mountains, big animals; The gentleman goes and acts with more knowledge of the preface to accumulate his virtue.
Interpretation: The sky is big in the mountains. A gentleman should follow the example of the great animal hexagram and constantly absorb the valuable words and deeds of his predecessors in order to enrich his moral cultivation.
The ninth day of the first month, there is strength and self-interest.
"Elephant" said: If there is a force, it is enough, and there is no disaster.
Interpretation: Already, stopped. The ninth day of the first month is at the beginning of the big animal, and if you are in a hurry to advance, it will be dangerous, so it is conducive to stopping the animal virtue, so as to avoid the possibility of committing disasters.
Ninety-two, public opinion.
"Elephant" said: Public opinion is shy, and there is no special in it.
Interpretation: The public opinion is said to be fu, and the metaphor is that the car public opinion cannot work. Say, get rid of it, get rid of it. Silk, refers to the square wood in the center of the axle, by which the body and the wheel are connected without separation. Especially, negligence. Ninety-two guards the middle way, when the big animal, can survive the situation and stop, just like the car is out of its spokes, can not travel, so there is no fault of entering.
Ninety-three, good horses chase, Li hard chastity; The day is idle and guarded, and the benefits are at stake.
"Elephant" said: There is a lot of benefit, and there is a lot of ambition.
Interpretation: Chase, drive and chase. Idle, skilled. Public security refers to the skills of control and defense. Jiusan Yang is just right, strong and motivated, and the first and second Yang go hand in hand, driven by good horses, chasing each other. However, when the big animal is a big animal, he should be honest and self-controlled, not forget the difficulties, and should be proficient in the skills of control and defense every day, and his own animal talents, so as to be conducive to the development of the future, so as to finally achieve the will of the animal pole.
Six*Four, Tong Niu's Bond, Yuanji.
"Elephant" said: Six * four yuan auspicious, there is joy.
Interpretation: "Virgin", a cow without horns; Strings, horizontal logs placed on the horns of the ox. It's like putting a shelf on a calf to prevent it from topping people. Six * four feminine and soft, corresponding to the ninth day of the first month, when the big animal, can be put on a shelf board for the ninth calf to prevent it from topping people, to be auspicious and happy.
Sixty-five, the tooth of the pig, Ji.
"Elephant" said: The auspiciousness of the sixth and fifth years, there is a celebration.
Interpretation: 豕shi, pig. Pig fen, castrated male pig. Six-five supple and respectful, corresponding to ninety-two, when the big animal, can be soft to stop the rigidity, as if removing the male pig's fierce and rigid nature, so that its teeth are not afraid, so auspicious and worthy of celebration.
Shang Jiu, He Tianzhiqu, Heng.
"Elephant" said: He Tianzhiqu, the Tao is also a great line.
Interpretation: Ho. Same load, load, bearing. Qu, the road that extends in all directions. The heavenly road refers to the road to heaven, which is open and unobscured, which is a metaphor for its accessibility. At the end of the upper nine dwelling animals, the animals are extremely open, and they extend in all directions like the road of heaven.
