The greater the power of thunder, the greater its effectiveness. The king's command was shocked, and he was afraid of it from far and near. At this time, even if the king goes out, as the eldest son, he can stay in the temple shrine and become the priest.

"Elephant" said: thunder, earthquake; The gentleman repairs the province with fear.

Interpretation: 洊jian, overlapping, continuous. The earthquake hexagram and the Kan hexagram are the same, the Kan elephant words are watery, and the earthquake is thunder, which means that the thunder comes continuously. The thunder represents a warning from heaven, and a gentleman who gets the warning and introspects his own mistakes, and changes his mistakes for the better, will be virtuous and successful. There will be no further danger.

On the ninth day of the first month, the shock came to the sneer, and the smile was hoarse, auspicious.

"Elephant" said: The shock is detrimental, and I am afraid that it will lead to blessings. After the smile is dumb, and then there is also.

Interpretation: The ninth day of the first month is able to self-reflect because of fear, so it is blessed. And then those who can cause laughter show that after they are frightened, they can act according to the law.

Nine is the extreme of the yang number. Sixty-two times the beginning of the ninth of the gang, there is thunder and the heart is in danger of losing a large number of coins, only sixty-two can be in the middle of the self-defense, rise in the nine tombs to avoid it, do not need to chase, the lost coins can not pass seven days, can be recovered.

June three, the earthquake Susu, the earthquake is unsightly.

"Elephant" said: Zhen Su Su, the position is inappropriate.

Interpretation: Susu, uneasy. 63 is yin and yang, and the position is inappropriate and there is nothing to do, so there is still a sense of uneasiness in "shaking Su Su". However, if you are afraid of the province because of the earthquake, your actions will become correct, and you will still be able to avoid disaster.

Ninety-fourth, the mud was shaken.

"Elephant" said: Shake the mud, and the light is not light.

Interpretation: So, fall. Mud, stagnation. Suimud is a synonym, which refers to falling and stagnating. The earthquake and thunder came out of the ground, but the 94th used the yang to live in the yin, and it fell into the yin of 63 and 65, stagnating, panicking, and doing nothing.

Sixty-five, shocking and coming, strong; There is nothing to lose, there is something.

"Elephant" said: Shock, strong, dangerous. There is something in the middle, and there is no loss.

Interpretation: 100 million no loss, big no loss, refers to foolproof. 100 million, big. There is something, which refers to the matter of keeping the temple sacrifice. Thing, refers to the sacrificial thing. From the inside to the outside, from the outside to the inside, the second and fifth are in danger of bearing the rigid, so there is a danger in comings and goings. Only 65 with the heart of danger and fear, get the virtue and act cautiously, so it can be foolproof to keep the temple sacrifice, that is, the hexagram so-called not to lose the righteousness of the dagger.

On the sixth, the shock of the rope, the sight of the strong, the murderer; The shock is not in its bow, in its neighbors, there is no blame; Marriage has a word.

"Elephant" said: Shock Suosuo, not in the middle; Although he is not to blame, he has not been punished.

Interpretation: Suosuo, refers to the state of mental depression and depression. Standing firm, his eyes looking left and right, looking uneasy. Marriage, refers to June three. There is a saying that the upper six and six three are both yin and incompatible, so there is a verbal dispute. The last six earthquakes are extreme, too frightened and do not know why, depressed, eyes looking left and right, uneasy, if restless to go, there will be danger. Only the upper six are in place and the four or five are out of place, if they can be on guard as soon as possible and reflect on themselves when the earthquake reaches the ninety-five neighbors and not themselves, they will be blameless. And when they are in extreme fear, they will have many doubts, and it will be difficult for them to be in harmony with external things, so they should not be in a hurry to seek a marriage, so as not to have disputes.
