Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi's Hexagram (Redeeming the Lower Dry Up)

Shoes, shoes tiger tails, not, Heng.

"Yi" said: Shoes, soft shoes are rigid. It is said that it should be dry, and it is to "walk on the tiger's tail, not to be a fool, Heng". Just upright, the emperor is not abolished, and the light is also.

Interpretation: Say, refer to the next hexagram. Die, bite. Guilt, melancholy. Performance, line also, for also, etiquette also. The essence of the hexagram lies in the softness of the line, the combination of rigidity and softness, the outer circle and the inner square. Able to take the quality of rigidity and softness from the outside, inherit the spirit of dry and hiking, and thus act prosperously like a man who walks behind the tail of a fierce tiger without being bitten. Ninety-five masculine and upright, taking charge of the emperor's affairs, ruling the world, because of his uprightness, virtue and outstanding honor, he does not feel troubled.

"Elephant" said: Heaven and earth, shoe; The gentleman distinguishes the top and the bottom, and determines the will of the people.

Interpretation: Heaven represents the rulers, Ze represents the people. As a gentleman, you should distinguish the distribution of interests between the ruler and the people, so that the interests of all social strata are properly distributed, so that each can settle in his own position and do his own thing.

On the ninth day of the first month, there is no blame.

"Elephant" said: The past of plain walking, the wish to go alone.

Interpretation: Plain, the true nature of things, without false decoration. In order to fulfill and implement his own will, he will go his own way and act independently, so that there will be no blame.

Ninety-two, the track is frank, and the ghost is Zhenji.

"Elephant" said: The ghost is Zhenji, and he is not chaotic.

Interpretation: A ghost is a hermit. Ninety-two walks smoothly when fulfilling his will, and at this time, he must be as persistent and pure as a hermit, not seeking to be heard, and his will not be disturbed by the world, so that he can be auspicious.

Sixty-three, squinting can see, lame can walk, walking tiger tail, sloppy, fierce; The warrior is for the Maharaja.

"Elephant" said: Squinting can see, not enough to have a clear mind. Lame can walk, not enough to walk with the line. The murderer of the prosperous people is not in the right position. The warrior is for the Great Monarch, and Zhigang is also.

Interpretation: 眇, blind. Lame, with problems with the legs and feet. Liusan Yin is in the yang position, inappropriate, behaves obediently, is weak in substance, and acts blindly and recklessly in order to fulfill his will, like a blind man and a cripple, and thinks that he can see and walk, and moves forward bravely, but is bitten by a tiger. Such martial artists, who have ambition but no talent, will bring great harm to the monarch and the country, and they will not be spared.

Ninety-four, the tail of the tiger, the sorrow, the end of the auspicious.

"Elephant" said: The end of the sorrow is auspicious, and the ambition is also.

Interpretation: Fear, fear. The six three yin are in the yang position, which is weak inside and strong outside, and it is inevitably dangerous to act recklessly with a lame body. Ninety-four, on the contrary, with the yang in the yin position, is the inner rigid and the outer soft, rigid and soft, the cohesion of masculinity, but can be carried out in a feminine way, so follow behind the tiger, cautious, cautious, naturally there will be no big problems, and finally the ambition to achieve auspiciousness.

Ninety-five, sloppy, chaste.

"Elephant" said: The clamp is chaste, and the position is legitimate.

Interpretation: 夬, decisive. The Ninth Five-Year Plan is masculine and upright, occupying the supreme position, and the next is to fulfill the words, and everyone obeys orders, so it causes the Nine-Five to fulfill their will when they are arbitrary and unscrupulous. This style of work is not supported by the lower strata because it should not be used in the 95th and 92nd periods, so even if the motives are pure, it is still dangerous.

On the nineth, depending on the shoes, the examination of the auspicious spin, Yuanji.

"Elephant": Yuanji is on top, and there is a great celebration.

Interpretation: Spinning, repeating. At the end of the nine dwellings, when fulfilling one's will, one can act prudently, think carefully and repeatedly, and get a good end, of course, it is an auspicious and worthy celebration.
