Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi Yi Hexagram (Zhen Xia Gen Shang)
Yi, Zhenji. Observe the mouth, seek the truth.
"Yi" said: "Yi, Zhenji", raising the righteous and auspicious. "Guanyi", look at what it raises. "Self-seeking truth", looking at its self-support. Heaven and earth nourish all things, saints nurture virtuous and all people, and the time is great!
Interpretation: Seeking truth from oneself, here is an excuse to eat to talk about nourishment. Solid, rich, fulfilling. The hexagram vibrates under the hexagram and stops on the upper hexagram, and there is a mouth and cheek movement to stop at the chewing shape, so the hexagram symbolizes nourishment.
The way of cultivation needs to be able to observe the right path, and then it can be auspicious. Possessing what is right and what is not right, and not looking at it is not enough to know it. Look at who they support, and they will be separated from the public and private; Looking at what it wants, the greed and honesty of raising can be seen. Heaven and earth can nurture all things, and saints can nurture virtuous people. It can be seen that the meaning of the hexagram is too important.
"Elephant" said: There is thunder under the mountain, Yi; A gentleman should be cautious in his words and eat sparingly.
Interpretation: The emperor was shocked, and all things were nourished and born; All things are nourished. Illness enters from the mouth, and disaster enters from the mouth, so be cautious in words to cultivate virtue, and eat and drink to nourish the body.
On the ninth day of the first month, the Sher spirit turtle, watch me eat, fierce.
"Elephant" said: Watching me eat, it is not expensive enough.
Interpretation: And, you. Spirits, things that do not eat, can be cashiered and live a long life. Feasting, puffing out cheeks and munching on food. Chu Jiu is masculine and upright, with the way of masculinity, he can be like a ghost to raise himself without seeking to be raised outside, but he gave up the way of health preservation because of greed, and watched others eat and drool, so it is bound to be dangerous and not worthy of praise.
Sixty-two, upside down, breeze, in the hill, the murderer.
"Elephant" said: 62 is a murderer, and he does his kind.
Interpretation: Whisk, violation. Warp, often. Brushing the menstrual period is contrary to common sense. Mound, highland, is the image of aggregation, referring to the collective or the country. Ninety-two is greedy for appetite, harms others and benefits oneself, and seeks support from the first nine of the neighbors, but is not satisfied, and goes against common sense, crossing the six-five and going up to the nine. The upper nine is shared by the four yin, and the sixty-two seeks to support oneself and to harm the public and private interests, so its behavior will be separated from the same kind, and it will be dangerous on the way forward.
Sixty-three, whisked, chaste; Don't use it for ten years, it's not profitable.
"Elephant" said: Don't use it for ten years, the road is also a big contradiction.
Interpretation: Brushing the Yi is contrary to the common sense of self-care. Sixty-three is not right, insatiable, contrary to the way of self-cultivation, and the nine-third, and the nine-third, and the nine-hundred-year-old, so the six-third move damages the public and private. If you persist in doing so, you will not be able to cheer up for ten years, and you will be sick physically and mentally, and you will do nothing.
Six*Four, Upside Down, Ji; Eyeing the tiger, it wants to chase away, no blame.
"Elephant" said: The auspiciousness of the upheaval, the light is also shining.
Interpretation: The look of a single-minded gaze. Chasing, urgent. Six*Four Yin Deficiency, upside down to the ninth of the first month, like a tiger staring at it, the desire is urgent, because what is sought is the public, can not be ashamed to ask, release the brilliance of virtue, so auspicious and not to blame. Sixty-two, six-four "upside down", all upside down to seek nourishment, the difference is that the six-two lower hexagram shock body, six * four upper hexagram body. The shock is moving, it is the image of gluttony for selfishness, so it is fierce. As for Gen, it can moderate its diet and is therefore auspicious. In the hexagram, the three lines of the shock body and the three lines of the body are all different from this.
Sixty-five, the meridians, Ju Zhenji, can not wade into the river.
"Elephant" said: The auspiciousness of dwelling in chastity, obedience to the top.
Interpretation: Sixty-five to yin respect, can not raise people, but need to obey the nine sages can be raised, so it violates the common scriptures of the king, because of its yin deficiency and yang yuan is insufficient, livable and quiet, chastity and self-discipline auspicious, and not conducive to taking risks and making difficulties.
Shangjiu, by Yi, Liji, Li Shichuan.
"Elephant" said: From Yi Liji, there is a celebration.
Interpretation: From Yi, the world is raised by it. The upper nine are the extremes of the Yi hexagram, Yuanyang is enough, and the Yi Tao is complete, not only able to raise itself, but also to raise other masters from top to bottom. Because of its dislocation, the process was dangerous and difficult, but it was able to get through, and finally gave grace to the world and was auspicious.
