Intricacy is an idiom that describes a lot of threads and tangled with each other.

This idiom comes from the I Ching, which is actually intricate and intricate, and refers to the relationship between the two hexagrams in the sixty-four hexagrams.

"Intricate" refers to the relationship between hexagrams: wrong hexagrams, comprehensive hexagrams, and complex hexagrams.

Philosophically speaking, the intricate philosophical concept refers to the observation of the development of things not only from the thing itself, but also from a relative point of view, as well as the opposite situation.

Note that relative and opposite are two completely different concepts, relative is that the thing itself does not change, the observer's perspective changes, and the opposite means that the observer does not change, and the nature of the thing itself completely changes.

(1) Wrong hexagram: also known as "right hexagram" and "bypass hexagram", referring to the hexagram of yin and yang. Wrong, yin and yang are wrong, that is, to seek the opposite and wrong of each line of a "six hexagrams", and you will get the wrong hexagram of the "six hexagrams".

Each of the "64 hexagrams" has a wrong hexagram, and the wrong hexagram is the opposite of each of the original hexagrams, and the "wrong" is a change in nature.

(2) Comprehensive hexagram: also known as "reverse hexagram" and "repeated hexagram", refers to the hexagram obtained by repeatedly (upside down) a "six hexagram". The hexagram is the hexagram obtained by rotating the "six hexagrams" by 180°.

The hexagram is a change of angle, and if you look at the "six hexagrams" in another direction, you will get the comprehensive hexagram of the "six hexagrams".

Eight of the "64 hexagrams" do not have a comprehensive hexagram, which is called a "positive hexagram", and the remaining 56 hexagrams have a comprehensive hexagram. The eight "positive hexagrams" are Qian, Kun, Li, Kan, Daguo, Xiaoguo, Yi, and Zhongfu.

Dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, leaving is the sun, and Kan is the month; "Heaven, earth, sun and moon" is a cosmic phenomenon, from any point of view, the sky is the sky, the earth is the earth, the sun is the sun, and the moon is the moon; Therefore, the four hexagrams of Qian, Kun, Li, and Kan are positive hexagrams, and there is no comprehensive hexagram.

Big, small, and medium-sized are personnel; "Big fault, small fault" refers to people's faults, "Yi" refers to people's upbringing, upbringing, and "Zhongfu" refers to people's integrity. Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at, the nature of "big, small, yi, and zhongfu" will not change, so the four hexagrams of big, small, yi, and zhongfu are positive hexagrams, and there is no comprehensive hexagram.

(3) Compound hexagram: Use the three painting hexagrams composed of the 234 lines of the original hexagram to make the lower hexagram (mutual hexagram) of the new hexagram, and use the three painting hexagrams composed of 345 lines to make the upper hexagram (intersecting hexagram) of the new hexagram, so as to form a new six-painting hexagram, and this new hexagram is called the compound hexagram of the original hexagram, also called the interactive hexagram.

(4) Miscellaneous hexagrams: intricate hexagrams of compound hexagrams. The truth of the complex hexagram is that there is no absolute in things, and it is not enough to just look at one side, but to cover everything.

The intricacies of the I Ching, as can be seen from the evolution of its hexagrams, is an evolution based on yin and yang, and what is formed is nothing more than the opposition of yin and yang.

The so-called yin and yang opposition is actually confrontation, that is, the fundamental law of the law composed of innate gossip, and it is also the foundation of the yin and yang confrontation space formed by the number of nine palaces and Luo Shu the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, why is the intricacy of the I Ching called the four hexagrams, because these four changes are actually an application of the law of space in the I Ching.

In short, the intricate relationship of "Zhou Yi" tells us that when looking at "things and problems", we should have multiple angles and methods, do not stick to rigidity, do not be black and white, do not only stand from our own point of view, but empathize, and look at it in an all-round, multi-angle, three-dimensional and inclusive way.
