Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi's Small Animal Hexagram (Qianxia Xunshang)

Little animal, Heng. Dense clouds do not rain, self in the western suburbs.

"Yi" said: small animals, soft and up and down, said small animals. Healthy and Xun, just in the middle and ambitious, is Heng. "Dense clouds do not rain", there is still a future. "Self western suburbs", Shi Weixing.

Interpretation: Livestock xu, also do accumulation, accumulation, accumulation, accumulation, etc. Small hexagram six * four yin in the yin position, when the position is right, the upper and lower five yang should be, with a soft and five rigid, but the power of yin and soft is difficult to accumulate strong, can only have a small accumulation, so it is called a small animal.

In the small accumulation hexagram, the lower hexagram is healthy, and the upper hexagram is Shun. Xunzhi suppleness can be stored and healthy, but it is difficult to last for a long time. Small animals are not passable, but the prosperous one is because 9592 can be masculine in the center to accept the accumulation of six * four feminine, with the accumulation of clouds and expansion, finally its will can act, rain into rain, and obtain prosperity.

Clouds that are blown from the east to the west are prone to rain, and those that are blown from the west to the east are less likely to rain. In the small hexagram, there are dense clouds because the dry sun is ascending, but because the clouds are blown from the west to the east by the wind, although the combination of yin and yang has been implemented, it has not yet rained.

"Elephant" said: The wind is in the sky, small animals; The gentleman is Yi Wende.

Interpretation: Yi, beauty. Dry for the sky for health, Xun for the wind for the smooth. Xunzhi suppleness can be stored and healthy, but it is difficult to last for a long time, so it is a small animal. Because of the small amount of accumulation, the gentleman should embellish the article and beautify his article talent.

On the ninth day of the first month, what is the blame for returning to the Tao? Lucky.

"Elephant" said: Returning to the Tao, its righteousness is also auspicious.

Interpretation: From the bottom to the top, it is said to be refuge. Righteousness, appropriateness, of course, should. In order to accumulate strength, the ninth day of the first month rises from the bottom to the top and returns to the path that suits you, so of course it is auspicious, how can there be any blame?

Ninety-two, lead the husband, Ji.

"Elephant" said: In the middle, it is not lost.

Interpretation: Ninety-two masculine is in the center, in order to accumulate strength, he goes hand in hand with the three yangs of the lower body and rises from the bottom to the bottom, and in the process does not lose himself because he sticks to the right path.

Ninety-three, public opinion speaks, husband and wife turn against each other.

"Elephant" said: Husband and wife turn against each other, and they can't be in the main room.

Interpretation: Say, with the detachment. It means that the wheels are damaged and the car cannot work. The main room refers to a normal family that maintains a life. In order to accumulate strength, we must maintain internal unity. If there is no internal unity, it will be like a broken wheel, the car will not work, and it will be like a husband and wife will be discordant, and it will be difficult to maintain a normal family life.

Six*four, there is Fu, the blood is removed, and there is no blame.

"Elephant" said: There is Fu Ti out, and Shanghe Zhi is also.

Interpretation: Fu, integrity. When the blood is removed, it means that the fear of injury is gone. Six * four is a small accumulation of hexagrams, with one yin to store five yang, yin because of weak strength and worry, but because of its suppleness and integrity, with integrity, and the ninety-five mind, so that the fear of harm is eliminated, there is no blame.

Ninety-five, there are Fu twins, rich and neighbors.

"Elephant" said: There are Fu twins, not only rich.

Interpretation: Twins, tightly combined. Ninety-five with the virtue of integrity, and six * four close cooperation; Not only is he rich, but he can also increase his wealth compared to his neighbors.

On the nineth, both the rain and the place, the virtue is loaded; The woman is chaste, and the moon is long; Gentleman Zheng, fierce.

"Elephant" said: Both the rain is everywhere, and the virtue is also loaded. The gentleman is fierce, and there are doubts.

Interpretation: loaded, full. Look, look at the moon. Sign, peers. Rain represents yin and yang harmony. place, settle down, stop. The upper nine accumulation poles, the harmony of yin and yang and the rainfall, the accumulation of public virtue has been completed. After the rain falls and stops, the yin, as a subordinate, needs to stop the act of storing yang with yin in time, otherwise, the yin will be extremely prosperous and override the yang, just like a wife restraining her husband, even if the intention is right, the result is dangerous, and it is like when approaching the full moon, the moon can rival the sun. At this time, the gentleman must not act, and his actions will be suspicious and dangerous.
