Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen.
"Yi" said: Dazai Qianyuan, the beginning of ten thousand materials, is the unification of the sky. The clouds are raining, the products are in shape, and the Ming Dynasty is the end. Six times into the time, when the six dragons to the sky. The main road changes, each is life, and he is in harmony with him, and he is rich. The first out of the house, Xianning of all countries.
Interpretation: Qiankun is the first of the sixty-four hexagrams, which is the general outline of the other hexagrams, which embodies the yin and yang ideas of the Book of Changes.
Dry for health. Health is the regular operation of the ladder, which never stops, and no force can change its course.
From the perspective of natural phenomena, Qianjian is the overlapping change of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and life has gone through the process of spring growth, summer length, autumn harvest and winter storage; From the perspective of human morality, Qianjian is the close combination of the four virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.
Among them, "Yuan" is great benevolence, representing spring, because everything begins to grow in spring, and spring has the virtue of life; "Heng" is a courtesy, representing summer, because everything grows luxuriantly in summer, and may hinder each other's growth space, so it is necessary to be courteous to each other and coordinate and communicate with each other; "Profit" is appropriate and righteous, representing autumn, because in autumn all things harvest fruits, and the interests of other places should be taken into account when redistributing the fruits; "Zhen" is positive for solid wisdom, representing winter, because the flowers and leaves wither in winter, only the roots and branches and leaves are left to retain the essence and energy, and the steadfastness endures the cold of winter, waiting for the arrival of spring.
"Dazai Qianyuan, the beginning of ten thousand materials, is the domination of the sky." This is an interpretation of "meta".
It means that the great Qianyuan and all things began with you, and you ruled Zhou Tian. The yang is called big, and the yin is small. The big one, all-encompassing. Yuan, where all things come from, also contains great meaning.
"The clouds travel and the rain is shining, the products are in shape, and the Ming Dynasty is the end." This is an interpretation of "Heng".
It means that the clouds move and the rain flows, breed all things, give shape, and shine brightly. The clouds and rain are the temperament of all things; The shape of the product flow is the shape of all things.
"When the six are successful, the time is six dragons to control the sky." This is an interpretation of "profit".
It means that the six trigrams of the Qianqian hexagram are all formed by the time and are smooth at any time. If a gentleman understands the main road, he must control the main road and implement it in personnel.
"The main road changes, each is life, and he is in harmony with the peace, and he is rich." This is an interpretation of "chastity".
It means that when the main road changes to the stage of profitability, when all things are about to mature, each thing acquires its unique life, existence value, and due position in the change, that is to say, all things have their own right; And when all things are mature, it is still necessary to preserve the condensed Taihe Qi, so that Yin and Yang are in a state of highly unified harmony.
The guarantor, save and not lose; Those who are together, gather but do not disperse; Tai, refers to too empty; And, refers to harmony. Taihe refers to the state of harmony of Taixu in a high degree of unity of yin and yang, which is the most perfect state in the minds of the ancients.
"The first thing to come out, Xianning of all countries." It refers to the beginning of winter and spring, and all things are recreated by Qianyuan, creating a new round of cycle. Those who rule the world should follow the health of the way of heaven, and should know that they are diligent in government and love the people, then the people of all directions will be peaceful and peaceful.
"Elephant" said: Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement.
Interpretation: The way of heaven runs again and again, never ending, and no one can stop it. A gentleman should follow the way of heaven, be self-reliant, and strive endlessly.
On the ninth day of the first month, don't use the hidden dragon.
"Elephant" said: Don't use the hidden dragon, the sun is also below.
Interpretation: Dragon, Yang Qi. Chu Jiulong was still lurking underground, and it was time for Taoguang to wait for it, and it would not and could not do anything at this time.
Ninety-two, see the dragon in the field, and see the lord.
"Elephant" said: See the dragon in the field, De Shi Pu also.
Interpretation: See, co. Ninety-two masculine is in the middle, endowed with the virtue of rigidity, and the moral cultivation has matured, with the quality of success, so it is called "adult". At the same time, Jiu'er is the second in the city, located above the ground, and the pure yang qi has risen from the ground to the ground, indicating that Jiu'er has emerged, and its talents and virtues have been discovered by the public, and it is a good time to display his talents and show kindness to the people.
Ninety-three, the gentleman is dry all day long, and he is not to blame.
"Elephant" said: Dry all day long, repeatedly.
Interpretation: Dry, diligent, unremitting. Be vigilant, be vigilant. If so, the verbal particle. Powerful, dangerous. Ninety-three is at the intersection of the upper and lower hexagrams, and repetition is the characteristic of the development of things at this time, so the gentleman must always be strong and cautious, self-improvement, even at night, he should be vigilant and cautious, so that although it is dangerous, it can avoid blame.
Ninety-four, or jumping in the abyss, no blame.
"Elephant" said: Or jump in the abyss, and enter without blame.
Interpretation: Ninety-four is doubtful and undecided, maybe you can jump up to the ninety-five, or you may retreat into the early nine-abyss, at this time, you just need to grasp the opportunity, be aggressive, and you will be blameless.
Ninety-five, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adult.

Interpretation: See, co. Shine and make a difference. The ninety-five dragon soars in the sky, and a person of great virtue and talent is about to appear, and it is time for him to make great achievements. Ninety-five and ninety-two are collectively referred to as "adults", but although the ninety-two adults have high morality but no high position, the ninety-five adults have high moral positions and high positions, and their morality, intelligence, and status are both, and the objective conditions have been perfected.
On the ninth, Kang Long has regrets.
"Elephant" said: Kanglong has regrets, and he can't last long.
Interpretation: When anything develops to the stage of fullness and prosperity, it will inevitably change to the opposite side, and it is impossible to maintain it for a long time. At the end of the Nine Diagrams, high and no position, the yang energy is excessive, and the knowledge does not know how to retreat, just like a dragon that is just overbearing, flying high in the air, and forgetting to return, it will suffer setbacks and regrets.
With nine, see the group of dragons without a head, auspicious.
"Elephant" said: With nine, Tiande cannot be the head.
Interpretation: The more powerful and statusful you are, the more modest and cautious you must be, not for the sake of things. Being in the position of the leader, but not the leader of the son, is an auspicious omen.
