Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi Kan Hexagram (Kanxia Kan Shang)

Xi Kan, there are Fu, idealistic Heng, and there is Shang.

"Yi" said: "Xi Kan", heavy danger. The waters flow without surplying, and they take risks without making them believe. "Wei Xinheng" is to just be in the middle. "Do it", and there is merit. The natural danger cannot be raised, the land is dangerous, the mountains and rivers are also hilly, and the prince is in danger to defend his country. It's a big time to use!

Interpretation: In the Book of Changes, there are no words in front of the names of each hexagram, but the word Xi is added before the hexagram, which has two meanings: (1) Xi, repeating, means that the upper and lower are difficult, and the meaning of many dangers; (2) Xi, learning, learning endlessly, people's risk, must first be familiar with its affairs, but can perform the danger as Yi, and the line can be passed.

The Kan hexagram is the opposite of the meaning of the Great Crossing Hexagram, which is the fault of the yang, and the excess of masculinity excludes the feminine; Kan is the yin of the yang, one yang is trapped in the upper and lower two yin, there is a pit, the meaning of danger. Xi Kan is a lot of dangers.

The hurdles are water, the double hurdles are heavy, the water flows endlessly and does not taste its profits, even if it encounters dangers, it does not lose confidence and cut off the flow. Only when the character is strong and walks in the middle of the road, will the integrity be maintained in the heart and obtain prosperity. The virtue of a gentleman is admired, and he will succeed in his future.

The sky becomes its wisdom with danger, the earth becomes its thickness with danger, and the country becomes its strength with danger. The righteousness of the time is too great!

"Elephant" said: The water is coming, Xi Kan; A gentleman walks with virtue and learns to teach.

Interpretation: 洊, jian, again. A gentleman observes the phenomenon of constant behavior and permanence of flowing water, and realizes that he must constantly improve his moral cultivation, learn to be familiar with political and religious affairs, and enrich himself.

On the sixth day of the first month, Xi Kan entered the rich and fierce.

"Elephant" said: Xi Kan enters the hurdle, and he is also unjust.

Interpretation: 窞dan, refers to the small hurdles in the kan, the deep kan. The first six yin and soft are out of place, under heavy danger, there is nothing to do, and they do not follow the right path, and they are trapped in the deep, so there is a disaster.

Ninety-two, there is a danger, and you want to be small.

"Elephant" said: Seek to be small, but not out of the middle.

Interpretation: Small, refers to femininity, and also refers to small things, small places. Ninety-two are in danger, and they can't get it, but their masculinity is in the middle, so they ask for it and get it small.

Sixty-three, come to the Kankan, dangerous and pillow, enter the Kanke, do not use.

"Elephant" said: The bumps that come are useless.

Interpretation: Coming and going, still talking. Dangerous and pillow, refers to being in danger and unsafe. Pillow, stop. Sixty-three feminine and not upright, when the ups and downs are up, the front is dangerous and then stops at the risk, and it is deep in the benefit, so it is useless and unusable.

Six*four, bottle of wine, two, with a tie, Nayo self-sufficiency, no blame in the end.

"Elephant" said: The bottle of wine is two, and the rigidity and softness are also.

Interpretation: 簋贰, refers to the food of the two 簋. 簋, millet container. No, a pottery musical instrument. Covenant, thrift, refers to what is offered. Window. Kan is water, flow is flexible. Six*Four feminine and feminine, superior ninety-five masculine, when in a rigid and soft situation, in danger, it is necessary to use flexible methods to seek help from ninety-five to get out of danger. Therefore, 6*4 only prepared simple sacrifices such as a bottle of wine, two sticks of food, and the sound of beating tiles, while 95 received these things through the window. Because the heart of six * four sincere respect has been reached, there is no blame in the end.

Ninety-five, bumpy and unprofitable, only peaceful, no blame.

"Elephant" said: If there is no profit, it is only peaceful, and there is no blame.

Interpretation: Only, the high ground in the water. Although the Ninth Five-Year Plan occupies the position of supreme zhongzheng, it has not yet been carried forward, and the water and high ground have been dug dry, but the pit has not been filled, but despite this, it is not to blame.

On the sixth, the department uses the emblem, and it is not fierce at the age of three.

"Elephant" said: It is a department with an emblem, and it is not fierce at the age of three.

Interpretation: tie, tie, bind. Emblem, the name of the rope, three strands are called emblems, and two strands are called 纆. 寘, co-placed, meaning imprisoned. Cong Xuan, that is, Chongkan, refers to prison. Shangliu violated the righteous path, was bound by ropes, and was imprisoned in a thorny and dangerous prison, and could not escape for three years, of course, dangerous.
