Volume 4: A Brief Discussion on Zhou Yi and the Hexagram (Kanxia Genshang)

Meng, Heng. I begged Tong Meng, and Tong Meng begged me; The first accusation, repeated blasphemy, blasphemy, blasphemy; Lizhen.

"Yi" said: Meng, there is danger under the mountain, and the danger stops, Meng. "Meng, Heng", to Heng Xing Shi Zhong also. "I beg for Tongmeng", Zhi Yingye. "The first confession", to just in the middle also. "Repeated blasphemy", blasphemy is not sued, blasphemy, and desecration. To be upright, the holy merit is also.

Interpretation: The hexagram is on the hill and down the hill, the gen is the mountain, the hill is the water is the danger, and the danger stops. If you don't enter, you won't be able to reach it, so there will be an image of ignorance. When people are in danger and cannot enter, they will seek to communicate with each other and overcome difficulties together. The connection is clear, so the hexagram "Heng" has the image of enlightenment.

Tong Meng, originally meant a naïve child, was borrowed as a person whose mind was still in a state of ignorance. In the hexagram, Yang Yao is rich and real, representing the teacher; Yin and poor represent the ignorant people. Ninety-two masculine is in the middle, the master of the hexagram, and the teacher of enlightenment; Sixty-five is the representative of the yin and the child.

In order for a hexagram to prosper, it must follow the principles of timing and the middle way. In the hexagram, six or five should be ninety-two, and the image of Tong Meng begging me. Giving to personnel shows that the matter of enlightenment is that students have to seek from teachers, and non-teachers seek from students.

Enlightenment has its own rules: if a child can be respectful and sincere, and seek guidance in an orderly manner, the teacher will be willing to preach and solve doubts; If they ask questions repeatedly, they will blaspheme the teaching and will no longer teach. The purpose of enlightenment is to "benefit oneself" and cultivate the right path, which is the merit of cultivating oneself to become a saint.

"Elephant" said: The spring comes out of the mountain, Meng; A gentleman cultivates virtue with fruit.

Interpretation: Spring, the beginning of the water and the small. When the danger is still in its infancy, it can be stopped, which is the meaning of Meng. A gentleman looks at its appearance, and when he acts decisively, he cultivates his virtue.

On the sixth day of the first month, it is beneficial to the prisoners, and it is shackled with words, and it is stingy in the past.

"Elephant" says: Use the torturer to correct the law.

Interpretation: punishment, punishment, correction. Shackles, instruments of torture. Say, with the detachment. The sixth day of the first month is feminine and uncorrect, and the bottom of the danger is to be enlightened and taught by the ninety-two masculine with criminal law, so as to get rid of the shackles of blindness. However, the criminal law must not be excessive, if the punishment is too severe, beyond the limit, and persevering, it will lead to defense and humiliation.

Ninety-two, Bao Meng, Ji; Naw, Ji; Zike's family.

"Elephant" said: Zike's family, rigid and soft.

Interpretation: Package, Inclusion. gram, competent. There are only two yang hexagrams, and the yang of the upper nine is too strong, as for the "striking meng", only the ninety-two masculine is in the middle, so it can tolerate the heavy yin and soft meng, just like the son marries a wife and manages housework, can recognize yin and yang and combine rigidity and softness, so it is auspicious.

Sixty-three, don't use to take women, see the golden husband, no bowing, no profit.

"Elephant" said: Don't use women, it won't go well.

Interpretation: Take, marry. Jin Fu, referring to the ninety-two husband, because of his masculinity and dry gold, so he is Jin Fu. Don't bow, lose your body. Sixty-three feminine and not upright, although there is a nine for the response, close to see the ninety-two and for the group of Meng, the time is very prosperous, so it is too positive to respond and lose in the ninety-two yang. Such acts are contrary to the right path, forgetting righteousness for the sake of profit, and wickedness, so that there is no benefit in marrying such a woman.

Six*four, sleepy, stingy.

"Elephant" said: The miserliness of sleepiness is far away.

Interpretation: Yang is real and yin is empty, only the virtuous can be enlightened. The six * four yin yao is far away from the yang yao and cannot respond, so it is ignorant and difficult, and it is very regretful.

Sixty-five, Tong Meng, Ji.

"Elephant" said: Tong Meng's auspiciousness, obedient to Xunye.

Interpretation: Xun, humility. Liuwu is deferential and humble, and asks for advice from Teacher Jiuer like a studious boy, which is of course auspicious.

On the nineth, the Meng; The disadvantage is for the Kou, and the benefit is for the Kou.

"Elephant" said: Use the royal court, up and down.

Interpretation: For Kou, the meaning of violence. Imperial Kou, restraining the meaning of violence. At the end of the Nine Enlightenments, the ignorance is extremely ignorant and cannot be taught, so it is necessary to use coercive means to govern the Obscurantism, which is like hitting the ignorant Yin like a slap in the head. However, when using coercive means, we should not be unbridled and violent, exceed the limit, and maintain the principle of harmony between the upper and lower levels.
