For the sake of the baby in the third year of high school, I am ready to rent a house today.

Because I dreamed that a puppy bit my left leg, I was a little worried, so I made a divination, and it felt very accurate! It's an auspicious hexagram.

Come on! Be a person and do things, don't lose your heart!

Northern Song Dynasty Yi scholar Shao Yongjie

Traditional hexagram interpretation

This hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams (lower to upper kun). Kun is the land, the exchange is Ze, the land is higher than the Ze, and the Ze is allowed to the ground.

The philosophical implications of the nineteenth hexagram

The symbolic meaning of the hexagram is the symbolic meaning of the hexagram of the earth

The Dize Lin hexagram is composed of Dui and Kun, with the Dui hexagram at the bottom and the Kun hexagram at the top. Dui represents pleasure and symbolizes Ze; Kun represents Shun, symbolizing the ground. The earth is above, and Ze is below, symbolizing that the earth takes condescending supervision over Zeshui. The earth is pressed on Ze, like a superior exerting pressure on a subordinate to enforce his own will. The name of this hexagram is Lin, and the original meaning of Pro is to look from the top down, and the meaning of this hexagram is the leadership and management of superiors to subordinates. How to correctly handle the relationship between self and others, subject and object, is the theme of the hexagram. In the "Elephant", the hexagram is explained as follows: There is land on Ze, and there is Lin; The gentleman thinks endlessly, and the people are boundless.

The meaning of this passage in the "Elephant" of the Hexagram is that the hexagram of the Hexagram is on the earth (Ze) and Xia Kun (Earth), which is the appearance of the earth on the Ze. There is land on Ze, and the land is high and descending, symbolizing supervision. The gentleman was thus inspired to take great pains to teach the people and protect them with his boundless virtue.

The Dize Lingua is based on the fact that the land borders the Zeshui for ventilation, indicating that the king and the people live in peace, the king is close to the people, and the people are happy with the king. This hexagram not only has the meaning of the leader coming to the subordinates in person, but also the subordinates welcoming the leaders. The hexagram enlightens the principle of teaching the people to protect the people, and it belongs to the middle and upper hexagrams. In "Elephant", this hexagram is cut off like this: the king has no way and the people are hanging upside down, often wanting to see the blue sky through the clouds, but fortunately the Ming Lord is benevolent and benevolent, and he lives in peace and happiness again.

The hexagram of the Di Ze Lin hexagram is painted with two yang lines below and four yin lines above.

According to the analysis of the hexagram, the following two yang lines represent the gradual enhancement of yang energy, which can also be extended to the growth of righteous energy. The hexagram is one of the twelve hexagrams, representing the solar term of the Great Cold. The six hexagrams represent more than 30 days from Xiaohan to the beginning of spring. Five days is a wait, and a line represents a wait. At this time, there are already two yangs on the hexagram, indicating that the yang energy is gradually growing. Therefore, the hexagram also has the meaning of strengthening. In addition, the upper hexagram of the proxagram is kun for the earth, and the lower hexagram is for the ze, so the land on the ze is the hexagram of the proximity. What does it mean to have land on the swamp? It means that the outer edge of the swamp is boundless land, and the position of the land is higher than that of the swamp, so it is said that "there is land on the swamp." Standing on the edge of the swamp and looking into the swamp, this is the pro. It can be seen that the meaning of the hexagram and the hexagram name are relatively consistent.

Zhou Yi's nineteenth hexagram and the first nine hexagrams are explained in detail

The first nine resignations

The ninth day of the first month. Xianlin, Zhenji.

Xiang said: Xianlin Zhenji, Zhixing is right.

Vernacular text explained

Ninth day of the first month: Governing the people with the policy of probation. Bu asked auspiciously.

"Xiang Ci" says: Governing the people with the policy of probation, governing the way of chastity, and natural auspiciousness, because of good intentions and decent style.

Northern Song Dynasty Yi scholar Shao Yongjie

Ji: Those who get this will have good luck and be satisfied. Those who are officials will be supported by everyone and can be promoted. Scholars who take the exam are sure to do well.

Fu Peirong, a Confucian scholar of Taiwan's sinology

Luck: good luck at the beginning of the year, good luck.

Wealth: new goods are launched, and profits are naturally made.

Residence: auspicious events are coming; A good couple can be a success.

Body: The initial illness can be cured.

The ninth day of the first month changes the hexagram

The first nine trigrams became the 7th hexagram of Zhou Yi: the earth and water division. This hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams (lower kan and upper kun). "Division" refers to the army. Hurdle is water and danger; Kun is the land, for the shun, and the metaphor is for the soldiers. The use of soldiers is a last resort, but it can solve the contradiction smoothly and unhindered, because according to the situation, the division is famous, so it can turn the evil into good.

The philosophical meaning of the first nine yao

The first hexagram of Lin, the first word: the ninth day of the first month: Xianlin, Zhenji. Paraphrasing

Salty: refers to the feeling of unintentionality, that is, sincerity from the heart, a kind of selfless prejudice and prejudice, without the meaning of pretentiousness and show.

The meaning of this line is: to go down to the people with a heart of inspiration, you can get auspiciousness.

"Elephant" said: "Xianlin, Zhenji", and the ambition is right. The meaning of this sentence in "Xiang" is: The reason why you can get auspiciousness when you go down to the people with a heart of influence and perform the responsibility of supervision of the leader is because their ambitions and behaviors are very decent, there are no selfish distractions, and there is no intention of showing off or showing off.

Those who occupy this position may go to the subordinate departments or units to inspect the work, but remember that you must sincerely take the work as the starting point, be selfless and prejudiced against the subordinates, and do things with sincerity from the heart. It is necessary to rule the people or subordinates by means of probation, and to adhere to the right path in order to obtain auspiciousness.

Chu Jiu Yao is at the lowest level of society, but he can feel the inspection of him by the upper class, so he must keep the right path to be auspicious. Chu Jiuyang is in a strange position, which shows that he can keep to himself and do his own thing, and he is appreciated by the leaders for this.

Zhou Yi's nineteenth hexagram ninety-two is explained in detail

Ninety-two resignations

Ninety-two. Xianlin, auspicious, no disadvantage.

Xiang said: Xianlin, auspicious is not disadvantageous, and it is not obedient.

Vernacular text explained

Ninety-two: Governing the people with a moderate policy is auspicious and unlucky.

"Xiangci" says: Governing the people with a moderate policy is auspicious and unlucky, because the people have not yet domesticated and obeyed their fate.

Northern Song Dynasty Yi scholar Shao Yongjie

Ji: Those who get this will make a profit, but it is better to recognize the opportunity, otherwise it will not be successful, and there is a fly in the ointment. Those who are officials will be above board and have a high status.

Fu Peirong, a Confucian scholar of Taiwan's sinology

Luck: Noble people help each other, good luck.

Fortune: Repeatedly operated, still profitable.

Residence: Lucky stars; Marriage is also auspicious.

Body: No major problem; The lawsuit is pending.

Ninety-two hexagrams

Ninety-two moves become the 24th hexagram of Zhou Yi: Mine Fu. This hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams (lower shock and upper kun). Earthquakes are thunder and movements; Kun is the ground, for the smooth, moving is smooth, go with the flow. Movement in the smooth, inner yang and outer yin, step-by-step movement, advance and retreat freely, conducive to progress.

The philosophical meaning of the ninety-two

The second hexagram, the second line, the words: ninety-two: Xianlin, auspicious, no disadvantage. Paraphrasing

The meaning of this line is similar to that of the first nine lines, which means: to go down to the people with a heart of enlightenment, you can get auspiciousness, and there is nothing disadvantageous.

"Elephant" said: "Xianlin, auspicious, no disadvantage", did not obey the order. "Xiang" analyzes this line and believes that "if you go down to all the people with a heart of inspiration, you can get auspiciousness, and there is nothing disadvantageous."

Judging from the hexagram, 92 belongs to the yang in the rigid position, with the characteristics of the yang family's decisiveness and daring. Ninety-two should be six five, and six five belongs to the yin family in the throne and out of place. Both Ninety-two and Sixty-two are out of position, indicating that Ninety-two disagreed with Six-Five when doing things and did not obey Six-Five's orders. However, there is nothing unlucky about this, because Jiu'er has no selfishness, but treats the people gently and submissively.

If you take advantage of this, you should be sincere in your work, adopt a humble and docile attitude towards others, and stick to the right path, so that even if you disobey the orders of your superiors, there will be no adverse results.

Ninety-two is the doctor's position, and the ninety-two yang is in the even position, although it is not in the position, but it can be in the middle. If you can do things in the right way, you will naturally get the above awards. Ninety-two corresponds to the sixth five as a king, and his every move can be appreciated by the king, how can there be unfavorable factors? If you do a good job, you can get the king's commendation, and Jiuer will naturally perform even better.

Zhou Yi's nineteenth hexagram ninety-three yao detailed explanation

Sixty-three resignations

Sixty-three. Willing to come, there is no benefit. That is, worry, no blame.

Xiang said: Ganlin, the position is not appropriate. That is, if you are worried, the blame will not last long.

Vernacular text explained

63: There is no benefit in governing the people with a policy of subjugation. If there is repentance, the calamity can be removed.

"Xiang Ci" says: Governing the people with a policy of subjugation, just as the Liusan Yin is not in the position of yang, such a king is not a competent monarch. If there is repentance, the calamity can be removed.

Northern Song Dynasty Yi scholar Shao Yongjie

Fierce: Those who have this kind of luck will have sorrow and will suffer and be tired. Those who are officials will be attacked by the slander of villains, and their ambitions will not be stretched.

Fu Peirong, a Confucian scholar of Taiwan's sinology

Luck: Repentance and correction, and future luck can be expected.

Fortune: The sugar industry is good, the rest may not.

Homestead: Migration is appropriate; Marital incompatibility.

Body: The medicine is not right, and it can be taken bitterly.

Sixty-three hexagrams

Liusan Yao moves to become the 11th hexagram of Zhou Yi: Earth and Tiantai. This hexagram is a different hexagram (lower dry and upper kun) superimposed, dry for the sky, for the yang; Kun is the earth, for the yin, yin and yang sympathetic, up and down interconnected, heaven and earth intersect, all things are different. On the contrary, it is fierce, everything is opposite, transformed, prosperous and must decline, decline and become prosperous, so it should change from time to time Tai (Tong).

The philosophical meaning of Jiusanyao

The third line of the hexagram, the words: 63: willing to come, no benefit; There is no blame for it. Paraphrasing

Gan refers to sweet words. Worry, reflection, regret.

The meaning of this proverb is: condescending, relying on sweet words to supervise, will not benefit; However, if you are aware of your mistakes, you can be afraid to change them, so that you will not incur disaster.

In "Elephant", this is analyzed: "Willing to come", the position is not appropriate. "I am worried", and the blame will not last long. "Elephant" pointed out: "Condescending, rely on sweet words to supervise", this is because of the improper position of the six three yao. However, if "we have already realized and can change our fears," the harm will not last long. "Xiang" analyzes from the hexagram and believes that Liusan belongs to the yin and the rigid position, which is inappropriate, and is located at the top of the lower hexagram, far away from the middle position, and cannot hold the middle way. Relying on rhetoric to dominate the people, only saying but not doing, and being good at showmanship.

If you are a leader, you should reflect on your attitude towards your subordinates, whether you always talk sweetly to win them over, and always make empty promises but do not fulfill them. If this is the case, it is necessary to correct it immediately, do less clever things, and change things for the better, so that there will be no obstacles.

The meaning of the scripture is: Treat the coming with sweetness, and there will be no benefit in coming. If you can worry about your situation, there will be no disaster. The symbolic meaning is: Treat the coming sweetly because of the wrong position. If there is anxiety about this situation, the disaster will not last long.

Liusan is at the top of the lower hexagram, so there is an image of joy, and it is on top of the two yangs, so it will get benefits. But although he has a lot of power, he can't get the appreciation from above, so he is "not profitable". Liusan Yin is in a strange position, and he can't be hit, so the situation is not very good, but he can find this hidden crisis, worry about it, and find a way to solve it, so there will be no disaster.

Zhou Yi's nineteenth hexagram ninety-four is explained in detail

June Fourth Speech

June Fourth. Come, no blame.

Xiang said: There is no blame for the end, and the position should be.

Vernacular text explained

June Fourth: There is no harm in personally governing the country and governing the people.

"Xiang Ci" says: There is no harm in personally governing the country and the people, just as the Yin of June Fourth is in the Yin position. Such a king is a worthy king.

Northern Song Dynasty Yi scholar Shao Yongjie

Ping: Those who get this are harmonious and profitable, but those who want to achieve great things must be cautious and ready to forge ahead. Officials will get help from their colleagues.

Fu Peirong, a Confucian scholar of Taiwan's sinology

Luck: Good luck has arrived, good luck and no evil.

Wealth: When buying and selling, there is no disadvantage.

Home: The family business is booming; Marriage is appropriate.

Body: Dangerous, but still healing.

June Fourth hexagram

The 64th hexagram became the 54th hexagram of Zhou Yi: Lei Ze returned to his sister. This hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams. The shock is moving, and it is the eldest man; For the pleasure, for the girl. With a girl from the eldest man, there is a feeling of admiration, there is a move of marriage, there is an image of marrying a girl, so it is called a sister.

The philosophical meaning of the ninety-four yao

The fourth hexagram, the speech: 64: to come, no blame. Interpretation of the hexagram, to the end: personally deal with state affairs. The meaning of this line is: to deal with the affairs of the state personally, and there will be no calamities.

The fourth hexagram, the speech: 64: to come, no blame. Life Inspiration

Judging from the hexagrams, June Fourth belongs to the yin in a soft position, and has the characteristics of humility and suppleness. Si Yao belongs to the position of the minister of the near monarch and is the assistant of the hexagram 65. June Fourth is close to June Five, and corresponds to the ninth day of the first month. He is a minister close to the monarch, can uphold the right path, and is loyal to his duties when he stays, and can accept the virtuous junior high nine below, and highly recommend such a useful person. It is obvious that if the ninth day of the first month is the yang, the yin of the sixth fourth will be affected, and the yang will grow and the yin will disappear, but the sixth fourth does not take into account its own interests and recommends talents for the leaders, so there is no disaster.

In "Elephant", this is analyzed: "Come, no blame" is also in place.

The "Elephant" explains: "Personally handle state affairs, there is no disaster", this is because of the proper position of the June Fourth Pillar. Being in a high position, not bullying the monarch, not oppressing the people, being conscientious and conscientious, and actively recommending meritocracy to make way for rising stars, those who do so will win praise. Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Henggong's teacher Bao Shuya, as a courtier close to the monarch, did his best to Qi Henggong, and at the same time recommended talents to him. Under his persuasion, Qi Henggong appointed Guan Zhong, the enemy who had shot him, as the prime minister. With the assistance of Guan Zhong, the hegemony was established. Uncle Bao disregarded his fame and fortune and abdicated to make way for Xian, which was praised by people.

Those who take advantage of this should learn from Uncle Bao's practice, even if they suffer some losses and grievances for a while, they will gain fame and fortune after all.

June Fourth is the position of the princes, but he can correspond to the ninth day of the first month, so it is called "Arrival". That is to say, June Fourth observed the people's feelings, went deep into the lowest strata, and connected with the lower strata of the people, and this kind of inspection is "coming". It is commendable that leaders can do this, how can there be disasters?

Zhou Yi's nineteenth hexagram ninety-five is explained in detail

Sixty-five remarks

Sixty-five. Zhilin, the Maharaja's suitability, auspicious.

Xiang said: The king is appropriate, and the word is also in the line.

Vernacular text explained

Sixty-five: Govern the people wisely, get the body of a king, and be naturally auspicious.

"Elephant Words" says: Get the body of a king, because the six or five lines are in the middle of the hexagram, like a person who acts in the right way.

Northern Song Dynasty Yi scholar Shao Yongjie

Ji: Whoever gets this is all the best. Those who are officials will be appreciated by their superiors.

Fu Peirong, a Confucian scholar of Taiwan's sinology

Luck: Just good luck, and someone to help.

Wealth: Understanding business conditions is of course beneficial.

Residence: Five Blessings; IKEA.

Body: Good doctor diagnosis and treatment, natural healing.

Sixty-five hexagrams

The 65th hexagram of Zhou Yi has become the 60th hexagram of Zhou Yi: Shuize Festival. This hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams. It is Ze, and Kan is water. There is water in the river and the flow is limited, and more will overflow outside the water. Therefore, there must be a festival, so it is called a festival. The festival hexagram is the opposite of the slang hexagram, which is a comprehensive hexagram and is used interchangeably. Heaven and earth can only be new when there is moderation, the country can be stable when there is moderation, and the individual can be perfect when there is moderation.

The philosophical meaning of the Nine Fives

The fifth hexagram, the next word: six five: know the presence, the king's suitability, auspicious. The meaning of the word is to know, the same as "wisdom", wisdom.

The meaning of this is that the exercise of wisdom and wisdom is the most suitable way for a great monarch to rule, and it can be auspicious.

The fifth hexagram, the next word: six five: know the presence, the king's suitability, auspicious. Life Inspiration

"Elephant" said: "The Monarch is appropriate", and the saying in the line is also. Liuwu is in the middle of the hexagram and is a king with the virtue of loyalty. The Elephant explains: "Supervision by wisdom is the most appropriate way for a great monarch to rule." "It is said that the golden mean is used, and the method of overcoming rigidity with softness, the softness of the world, and the rigidity of the world.

Those who occupy this position should learn from the practice of the Sixth Five-Year Plan, even if the career has encountered setbacks, if they do so, they can be saved from danger and revitalize their careers. Those who occupy this position hope to succeed, and the news that they are looking forward to will soon be echoed.

Using wisdom to perceive the people's feelings is exactly a skill that the Son of Heaven must master. Liuwu observes the people's feelings with wisdom and can get the real situation, so it is auspicious. As a king, you must know your people. On the two Huabiao in Tiananmen Square, there are two small beasts, and the direction of the beast's head is facing south and north and south, which is the difference between the two Huabiao. Any explanation? Yes, the head of the beast facing south is to warn the monarch not to forget to go to the people often to observe the people's feelings. Why? Because the ministers would whitewash the peace and tell lies to the king. For example, after Yuan Shikai became emperor, the whole country was opposed. In order to curry favor with Yuan Shikai, some ministers specially printed a newspaper for Yuan Shikai, which was only printed once a day and only read by Yuan Shikai alone. The above is full of words such as the form is good, and Yuan Shikai is happy after reading it. As a result, eighty-one days after his accession to the throne, he was thrown down from the dragon chair. Therefore, the king had to look at the life of the people with his own eyes. During the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi and Qianlong repeatedly came to Jiangnan to inspect and observe the people's feelings. The north-facing beast head on the Tiananmen Huabiao is a warning to the king not to forget the safety of the country's government when he is out on patrol. Always patrolling outside, what should I do if there is a traitorous rebellion in the court? Therefore, the king should not spend too long on the outside, but must also come back to consolidate his power.

But as a king, if you can't go out for a long time, how can you grasp the real feelings of the people? This is where "Smart Proximity" comes in. How to "Smart Pro"? Kangxi and Qianlong's micro-service private interviews played on TV are "Zhilin", of course, in addition to micro-service private interviews, you can also use loyal ministers to inspect to get accurate news. But the key lies in "wisdom", and only "wisdom" can achieve the true "presence".

Zhou Yi's nineteenth hexagram on the nine lines of the detailed explanation

On the sixth line

On Six. Dunlin, Ji, no blame.

Xiang said: Dunlin Zhiji, ambition is also inside.

Vernacular text explained

Upper six: to govern the people in a generous way, auspicious, naturally no disaster.

"Elephant Words" says: Governing the people in a generous way is auspicious, because the meaning of honesty exists in the heart.

Northern Song Dynasty Yi scholar Shao Yongjie

Ji: Those who get this will make more profits and be invincible, but beware of too much momentum and decline. Those who are officials will be valued by their superiors and entrusted with reuse.

Fu Peirong, a Confucian scholar of Taiwan's sinology

Luck: Good luck has ended, and loyalty is not to blame.

Wealth: Selling the mainland is still profitable.

Homestead: Loyal and solemn.

Body: Cultivate vitality and natural health.

The upper six changes hexagrams

The upper six lines of the movement became the 41st hexagram of Zhou Yi: Shan Ze loss. This hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams. Gen is a mountain; Redeem for Ze. Up the mountain and down the river, the big river erodes the mountain roots. Profit and loss are intertwined, the loss is beneficial, and the profit is lossy. Between the two, we must not be cautious. Governing the country will damage the foundation of the country if it is too much. If it should be lost, it will be lost, but it must be measured and moderate. Less is better.

The philosophical meaning of the upper nine yao

The sixth line of the hexagram, the last word: the sixth line: Dunlin, auspicious, no blame. Interpretation of the words: Dun: Refers to thickness.

The meaning of this line is: to govern the people with honesty and honesty, auspiciousness, and no calamity.

Speech: Upper six: Dunlin, auspicious, no blame. Life Inspiration

"Elephant" said: "Dunlin Zhiji", ambition is also inside.

The Elephant explains: "Governing the people with honesty and honesty is auspicious, and there is no calamity." It shows that its ambition is to benefit the country and the family. Those who occupy this line, remember to be generous and kind, which is the main inspiration given by this line. In work and life, we should be tolerant of all kinds of opinions, including some critical opinions. This kind of kindness will earn you respect. When dealing with subordinates, we must show our own virtue, so that we can be auspicious and stay away from disasters.

The position of the emperor in the six places naturally lost some of the prestige of a king, so when he inspected the people, he had to do it with a generous temperament. In ancient times, the world was the world of the ruler's family, so the emperor also had to make some contribution to the peace of the world. He got along with the people peacefully in order to get the real people's feelings, and then help the emperor plan the decision to govern the world.

Shangliu also belongs to the hermit class, and in ancient times, the hermit class made a great contribution to society. On the surface, they live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but in fact they are concerned about the country. Because they have no status or power, they are better able to understand what the people really think in their hearts. In addition, hermits often had some dealings with rulers, and rulers also valued this class, so hermits often gave valuable advice to the king for governing the world.
