Chapter 427: Gossip

Luo Hu knew the morality of heaven and earth very well, and even the eight kinds of cultivation foreseen in Fuxi's gossip could not reach him. But Yi Liuyun spent nearly a hundred years in order to understand the eight kinds of gossip.

The most summative figure of Chinese culture in Daomen must be the Taiji diagram, the group of symbols that can best represent the connotation of Chinese culture must be Bagua, and the eight most profound and magical Chinese characters must be the names of Bagua-Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. As a practitioner, you can't help but understand gossip.

The way of gossip is broad and profound, reaching the way of heaven and sending down the subtleties of people's daily life.

Among them, the great truth has been said too much by the predecessors, but few people have said about the embodiment of color in life.

In the gossip, in fact, there are eight situations in people's daily life, and what is reflected is the real eight kinds of education.

Qiangua, male upbringing. Learn to show weakness, why not give in.

The hexagram of the Qiangua is heaven, and the characteristic is "Jian" - strong, the so-called "Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement", with strong masculine characteristics.

The three trigrams of Qianqian are all yang, which is the hexagram of pure yang.

However, as the saying goes, the extremes of things must be opposed, although the Qiangua is strong and powerful, and it is indomitable, it is just and easy to break, so there is a sign of insecurity, which contains signs of reversal in the opposite direction.

For men, this is exactly what to be wary of and learn from.

Because of physical and psychological reasons, it is easy for a man to be strong, but if it is too much and completely ignorant of restraint, it will become a destructive force and produce bad consequences. For example, being too strong with your wife can lead to machismo, too much with your children and you may be violent, and too strong at the workplace will lead to self-indulgence and offend......

Such a man is actually lacking in upbringing, his kung fu has not yet been practiced, and his strong and weak temperament has not yet been cultivated. All laws are the harmony of yin and yang, and the absence of any one can only be deformed. Only by having both, strong and tenacious, can we truly stand up to the sky.

Kun hexagram, a woman's upbringing. Times have changed, and female virtue is still needed.

The hexagram of the kun hexagram is the earth, and the characteristic is "shun" - down, the so-called "terrain kun, the gentleman carries things with virtue", "the good is like water, and the good is good for all things without fighting".

This kind of behavior makes people naturally think of women, and then think of the traditional requirements for women - female virtue.

There are indeed many unfair and outdated contents in traditional female virtues, but they will never become obsolete in the fundamental spirit, and this is Kunde.

This kind of virtue is also what is urgently needed in this era.

What is Kunde?

In short: she is a good wife and mother in her identity, she is warm and generous in her treatment of others, she is patient and tenacious in her heart, and she is tolerant and obedient in her posture.

Obeying is by no means subservient to male power, but understanding that men and women are indeed different in their physical and psychological nature, so they each have their own appropriate position, but this position is equal, and it is not necessary to do what men are good at and can do to be called equal.

Women need to regain their identity with this, and men should also reflect on whether they don't respect this kind of "each in its own place, side by side".

Hexagram, mentality upbringing. Whenever you are at peace.

The hexagram of the shock hexagram is thunder, and the characteristic is "movement" - vibration, shock. But because it can get rid of dull and filthy air, it may not be a kind of prosperity.

This inevitably reminds people of the encounters in life, when it is calm and smooth, there are always so many ups and downs, and sometimes even thunderbolts and storms.

How should people deal with the good and bad times in life?

The hexagram can provide enlightenment to people, pointing to one point - mentality.

In good times, we should not get carried away, but deal with them calmly, and in times of adversity, we should not panic and lose our minds, but be calm.

Only with a solid and solid cultivation in the heart, showing it in front of outsiders, can it be such a pampered and unashamed and peaceful upbringing, and it can also be as revealed by the hexagram, cleansing away the dirt and dullness, and ushering in a clear and smooth atmosphere.

As Taishang Laojun said: Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking.

Xun hexagram, upbringing. Be humble and respectful to others.

The hexagram of Xun hexagram is the wind, and the characteristic is "in", which is the long wind and pervasive, which is a kind of Shunda, and the meaning of "Xun" is "Shun".

This hexagram talks about obedience to others in order to benefit, that is, to be humble and obedient, which is naturally a hexagram related to interpersonal communication and dealing with the world.

The description of this hexagram in divination is: a lonely boat falls on the beach, and it is difficult to advance and retreat without water; when it rains heavily, the rivers and lakes overflow, and there is no need to go back and forth with effort.

From the perspective of being a person, it is said that if a person does not have a humble and obedient attitude, he will become a lonely boat, with no water.

What is this water?

It is the way of interpersonal communication that learns to be humble and respectful to others.

When there are more friends and more contacts, the water will naturally be full, and your life will be like a fish in water, riding the wind and waves.

Inner humility is a kind of cultivation, and humility to others is a kind of education.

Even if the inner cultivation is insufficient, if you can be as humble as possible on the outside, you will in turn cultivate your own cultivation.

This requires people to try to lower their posture and calm their mentality, otherwise they will only be inconsistent and two-faced, and they will suffer in the end.

Kan hexagram, work and upbringing. Conscientious and responsible, and cautious.

The hexagram of Kan is water, and the characteristic is "trapping", which means falling into a puddle.

The more times like these, the more we need to be cautious, learn to wait for the right moment, and not act rashly.

But whether you can be cautious or not, in fact, depends on your usual attitude, a person who is not usually serious and cautious can only panic at a critical moment, and he can't be expected to suddenly become cautious at this tense moment.

This requires people to have this attitude of doing things in ordinary times, and constantly cultivate themselves.

But this issue cannot be viewed in such a utilitarian way.

Because whether it is your own work or helping others do what you promised, it is your duty to be conscientious and responsible.

As the saying goes, "a gentleman should act with virtue and practice teaching", which requires people to constantly improve their virtues.

Divorce, family upbringing. Marriage is serious, don't be a child's play.

The hexagram of the separation hexagram is fire, and the characteristic is "beautiful", which has the meaning of the sun shining brightly, the so-called "sun and moon are beautiful in the sky".

The two words with diametrically opposite meanings make people think of the current marital status, the divorce rate is high, and the beautiful marriages with the sun shining are becoming fewer and fewer. Although the intention of the divination is not to be in marriage, it can provide direct inspiration for marriage.

The reasons for divorce vary, but in the end, it is often emotional discord.

If two people are like fire, competing for light, burning each other, and refusing to take a step back and trying to understand and understand each other, what good results can there be except for conflict and discord?

The same is true for the relationships between other members of the family.

The "beauty" of the hexagram has the meaning of attachment, that is, attachment, and one party needs to be weakened.

If one of the spouses can make a compromise and think about it from the other's point of view, the conflict can at least be alleviated, and if the other party can be infected to do the same, the conflict can not only be resolved, but also increase affection. Of course, compromise and understanding are mutual, and one cannot be completely demanded from one of them.

Departing from the hexagram also contains the meaning of acting in a righteous manner, and the truth is here.

For marriage, if the temperament is really not harmonious, it cannot be forced.

But in the final analysis, in addition to some really uncontrollable factors, this consequence is often caused by the hasty decision to combine before marriage and the hasty decision to separate after marriage, which ultimately hurts others and oneself, and harms parents and relatives, which is the embodiment of the lack of upbringing.

Gen hexagram, words and deeds. Say what you should say, or shut up.

The hexagram of the Gen hexagram is like a mountain, and the characteristic is "stop" - stop, stop.

This hexagram says that we should be cautious in our words and deeds, do what we should do, stop when we stop, say when we say it, and don't say it when we don't say it.

The mountain of hexagrams, emphasizing the strength of this stop, the mountain is tall and heavy, and the people before and after it are the heavy upbringing and cultivation.

Words and deeds are an art, and decency is a pursuit.

To speak appropriately lies in knowing how to be silent at the right time, and to speak when you should be speaking but knowing how to grasp it.

The core of proper behavior lies in the word politeness, no matter the movement, it is based on the criterion of not being rude.

How?

As the saying goes, "a gentleman can't think of his position", "he can't think of his position" is to know what he should say and do, and what he should not say and do, be down-to-earth, and seek truth from facts.

That is, when interacting with others, you must know how to be honest and sincere, so that you can consider the feelings of the other party, and you will naturally not exceed the rules.

Sincerity and honesty are actually the best way and the greatest upbringing.

Redeem hexagrams, make friends and upbring. Be honest with each other and help each other.

The hexagram of the hexagram is Ze, and the characteristic is "Yue" - pleasant, joyful.

This hexagram is the only one in the gossip that talks about joy.

How can we be happy in our interactions with others? The secret lies in harmonious relationships.

If the relationship is harmonious and the heart is happy, strangers can become friends, and those who are already friends can deepen friendship, which is the inspiration that the hexagram brings to people's friendship.

How can we be harmonious?

The hexagram of the hexagram has water, and making friends is like the intersection of two waters, you have me, I have you.

Emotionally, this means that we should be honest and heart-to-heart, in reality, it means that we should move around a lot and help each other, in short, the two parties complement each other and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. The most brilliant and effective truth is often so ordinary.

Although it is ordinary, it is a test of people's upbringing.

Whether you can understand these truths, whether you can be honest with others, and whether you can help others are all manifestations of upbringing.
