■Original text

Benefit: Benefit is the future, and the benefit is related to the river.

"Yi" said: Benefits, losses and gains, the people say that there is no boundary. From top to bottom, its path is bright. "There is a lot of benefit", Zhongzheng has a celebration; "Benefiting the river", the wooden road is the line. Moving and Xun, the day is boundless; Heaven and earth are born, and there is no way to benefit it. "Elephant" said: Wind and thunder. A gentleman will move if he sees goodness, and change if he has a fault.

——(Yin Zhou to Qin and Han Dynasty) "Zhou Yi Yi Yi Hexagram"

■Definition

The Yi hexagram is the forty-second hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes. The hexagram is up and down and shakes, Xun is the wind, and the earthquake is thunder. Wind and thunder benefit each other, the wind is thunderous, and the thunder is fierce, so it is beneficial. This hexagram is the opposite of the 41st hexagram, which is the loss of the lower and the gain and the benefit of the loss. The opposite of loss is gain, and the loss will inevitably turn into profit when it develops to a certain extent, so the benefit hexagram follows the loss hexagram. Why is the loss of the loss and the gain and the loss of the gain and the loss of the benefit of the loss? Because the upper and lower costs are related, the lower is the upper foundation, the loss is the damage to the capital, and the benefit is solid.

The Yi hexagram "Biography" says: "Heaven and earth are born, and there is no way to benefit them." The way of all benefits is to walk with the times. "Heaven and earth are born, and its benefits are unlimited", that is, the sky applies qi to the earth, and the earth is born by qi, and the benefits of its application are vast and infinite, and they are omnipresent." The way of all benefits, go with the times", that is, the way of loss and benefit, only in a "time" word, when the benefit is good, when the loss is lost. This is where the idiom "keeping pace with the times" comes from.
