Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi Loss Hexagram (Redeem the Gen Shang)
Loss, Fu, Yuanji, no blame, chastity, and benefit. What is it for? Two are available.
"Yi" said: Loss, loss and gain, its path up. "There is Fu, Yuanji, no blame, but chastity, and there is a lot of benefit." What is it for? Two can be enjoyed". There should be a time for the two to lose rigidity and a time to be soft. Profit and loss, go with the times.
Interpretation: 曷he, the same as He. The use of the 曷, that is, the use of what. Gui, a vessel used to hold millet in ancient sacrifices. Ergui is a metaphor for a meager gift. Enjoyment, offering or sacrifice means to make an offering to a Venerable One or to a deity. Upside, upward contribution. The loss hexagram is the reduction of the loss, which is intended to lose the lower benefit, the loss of the internal benefit and the outside, the loss of the rigid and the soft, the loss of the excess to the benefit of the insufficient, and so on.
Damage is not what people want, so it must be damaged, and they are honest with each other, so that they can obtain great auspiciousness, have no fault, conform to the right path, and make a difference. The only way to gain from the loss is in the heart, there is no need to damage it too much, as long as the heart is honest and respectful, even if the meager things are enough to dedicate to the top.
However, there must be times when the loss of rigidity and softness must be made, and it is not appropriate to lose all rigidity. The world loses its profits, benefits its weaknesses, benefits and losses, and losses and gains, all at any time.
"Elephant" said: There is Ze under the mountain, and it is damaged; The gentleman suffocates his desires with punishment.
Interpretation: punishment, suppression. Suffocation, blockage, elimination. There is Ze under the mountain, then the water rushes to the mountain and the mountain falls, the mountain rock collapses and stops, so there is a sense of damage, the gentleman observes the damage hexagram, and realizes that he should curb his anger and put an end to drinking, so as to harm himself.
On the ninth day of the first month, things have passed away, and there is no blame; discretionary damages.
"Elephant" said: Things have passed, and Shang Hezhi is also.
Interpretation: Already, actually, stopped. 遄chuan, quickly. Drink, take it by hand, and do not pass it. Shang, ibid. In the ninth day of the first month, it is better to stop what you do, and you should be blameless if you go quickly to benefit, but you should consider it carefully, and you should not damage its rigidity. Shang Hezhi refers to the six * four above and the ninth corresponding to the first nine, like-minded.
Ninety-two, Lizhen, conscription; of profit and loss.
"Elephant" said: Ninety-two Lizhen, China and Israel are not ambitious.
Interpretation: Ninety-two yang is in the yin position, rigid and soft, should take the mean as the ambition, be chaste and self-controlled, and conquer others is fierce. Because this is not only not harmful to others, but beneficial to others.
Sixty-three, if you go to a threesome, you will lose one person, and if you go by a person, you will get a friend.
"Elephant" said: One person walks, three are suspicious.
Interpretation: Everything in the world is composed of a combination of yin and yang, so if you go alone, you will definitely meet friends who are in love; If you go with two other people, you will be suspicious and ruined.
Six*four, damage its disease, so that there is joy, no blame.
"Elephant" said: If you damage your disease, you can also be happy.
Interpretation: Six*four has a weak disease, and it is advisable to quickly correspond to the first nine masculine diseases, so as to benefit from them and reduce their diseases, which is a gratifying thing and no blame.
Sixty-five, or the turtle of the ten friends, Fu Ke, Yuan Ji.
"Elephant" said: Sixty-five yuan auspicious, from the top of the blessing.
Interpretation: Peng, double shells for friends, ten friends is twenty shells, referring to expensive treasures. If the sixth or fifth is out of position, it should be benefited. Even the big treasure turtle that benefited from the high value did not shirk the gratitude because of the virtue and enjoyment. This is blessed by God, and of course it is very auspicious.
On the nineth, the profit and loss of the Buddha, no blame, Zhenji, the benefit is at stake. Dechen has no home.
"Elephant" said: The profit and loss of the Buddha is also a great ambition.
Interpretation: The upper nine dwellings are extremely damaging hexagrams, and they cannot be damaged again to benefit themselves. If there is no damage, everything is even and blameless, and the reason is peaceful and chaste. This is the time to move forward. The king has great ambitions, does not lose the benefits of the lower and the upper and takes the world as his home, then the people of the world also surrender, and forget his home for the country.
