Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on the Zhou Yi Festival Hexagram (Redeem the Lower Kanshang)

section, heng; Bitterness is not chaste.

"Yi" said: Section, Heng, rigid and soft and just in the middle. "Bitterness is not chaste", and its way is poor. It is said that the risk is taken, the position is modest, and the middle is passed. Heaven and earth are made in four seasons, and the system is used to save money, and it does not harm the people or the people.

Interpretation: knots, bamboo joints, a section is separated, limited and stopped, and by extension, moderation, frugality, temperance, etc. Yin is greedy, yang is the festival, and moderation can be prosperous, because the yin and yang in the hexagram are half each, and the second and fifth lines are masculine and middle, and the festival is more expensive than the middle. Only those who are too restrained and too painful, and who are unbearable to others, are contrary to the principles of heaven and human feelings, and lose the way of self-control.

The upper danger and the lower redemption say that a happy mood can lift the spirit and have the courage to go to danger. And when 6*4 and 95 are in power, they can consciously control themselves. Ninety-five is in the middle, and the hurdle is on the top. If you can grasp the appropriate scale, you will be able to do everything unimpeded.

It is precisely because of the festivals of heaven and earth that the four seasons of the year are formed; By using the system of rules and regulations to control himself, the king will not waste his wealth and will not harm the people.

"Elephant" said: There is water on the Ze, knots; A gentleman uses a system of several degrees to discuss virtue.

Interpretation: The number of degrees refers to the number of rites and the degree of law. Deliberation, review and review. The flow of water is the image of the reservoir, so it is a festival. Formulate the number of rituals and laws, and save the people in the middle; Only by judging morality can we know the advantages and disadvantages, and we can save ourselves in the middle.

On the ninth day of the first month, if you don't go out of the house, you won't be blamed.

"Elephant" said: If you don't go out of the house, you know how to pass through.

Interpretation: In the ninth day of the first month, I know the principle that the general rules should be done, and the obstacles should be stopped, and the moderation should be within the appropriate range, and there is no blame for not going out.

Ninety-two, don't go out of the court, fierce.

"Elephant" said: If you don't go out of the court, you will be fierce and lose time.

Interpretation: Ninety-two moderation is excessive, and it should have been out of the door, but it was closed, and it was a murderer who lost time.

Sixty-three, if you are not modest, you will be blameless.

"Elephant" said: Who is to blame for the undisciplinedness.

Interpretation: if, yes, the last word of the sentence. If the lack of self-control leads to remorse and lamentation, whose fault is it? You can only resent yourself. If you change it because of it, there is no blame.

Six*Four, Anjie, Heng.

"Elephant" said: The Heng of Anjie inherits the Tao.

Interpretation: Six * four safely follow the road, not reluctant for the festival, so prosperous.

Ninety-five, Ganjie, Ji; There is still a place to go.

"Elephant" said: The auspiciousness of the Ganjie is also in the position.

Interpretation: The five flavors are sweet and sweet, and the salty, bitter, sour and bitter are all biased. In the middle of the ninety-five, the temperance is neutralized, and people get the sweet benefits from moderation, so they are happy to go and obey.

On the sixth, the bitter festival, chastity, repentance.

"Elephant" said: Bitterness and chastity are fierce, and their way is poor.

Interpretation: The first six temperances are too hard, leading to the end of the road, although the chastity is auspicious and dangerous, but it does not make people regret it.
