Eight-character epigrams in Zhouyi
The first nine words of "dry divination" were given. Gangua itself is a vigorous divination, advocating self-improvement, but self-improvement does not mean being competitive.
Gangua Jiutian is in its infancy, with weak strength and low status, so it is called "Hidden Dragon". "Don't use" is to accumulate strength, and it is not appropriate to start early. Only when the weather is right and the people are in harmony can we be promoted step by step, which is similar to what Zhuangzi said: "The accumulation of water is not thick, and the negative boat is powerless".
From the sixth day of Kun Gua, it literally means that when you step on first frost, you will know that the season of ice and snow is not far away. Kungua imitates the spirit of the earth and brings things with kindness, but a man must first understand the law of development and change of things before he can do things calmly. Otherwise, even if you are confused, how can you carry things?
In a word, wisdom, virtue and ability are indispensable. We look at life with the thinking of the Book of Changes, and the ability to know a little is the most important ability to achieve great things.
From "Tai Gua". Thai hexagrams, there is earth above, and there is heaven below. Heaven and earth are connected with each other endlessly, and Jiu San is the place where heaven and earth meet, which enables us to understand the changes of heaven and earth and sum up the way of being human.
The road of life will not be Ma Pingchuan. When there is an uphill slope, there is a downhill slope, and there are potholes from time to time. No matter how far you go, you will come back eventually. Therefore, under any circumstances, we should keep a good mood, be brave in difficulties and stick to our initial intentions. Be a man and do things calmly.
Judging from the nine words in Judas Gua, many people interpret this "self-blessing" as a blessing from heaven, but it is still a negative thought that depends on external forces.
In fact, the idea of Yijing is people-oriented, and the real meaning of this sentence is "God helps those who help themselves". Only when the small universe of the human body is in harmony with the big universe of the outside world can there be good and bad, which is also a realm pursued by China traditional culture, that is, "harmony between man and nature".
From the sixth day of "Gangua", Gangua is the only unlucky one among the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes. From its image, it means that a person has both strength and humility and can control his emotions. Heaven avoids perfection, humanity avoids excess, and powerful and modest people, of course, do everything smoothly. This is called "using mountains and rivers for luck".
From the ninth day of "Fu Gua", Fu Gua was made up of Kun Gua, a kind of pure Yin Gua, so-called "One Yang comes to Fu". Not far away, no regrets, that is to say, we should change it in time, and the time for trial and error should not be too long, otherwise it will be difficult to go back to the past and change old habits, so it is better to cultivate one's morality sooner than later, and life is not easy to have regrets.
Judging from Jia Bu, "embarrassment" is the voice of reprimand. Although reprimanding will bring annoyance, it is auspicious after all. If women and children laugh freely, it will be difficult. What I'm talking about here is actually family style. If the family style is positive, any problem can be solved easily. If the family style is not correct, it will go down.
Judging from the six words in Interpretation of Divination, this sentence literally means that a shooter can shoot a falcon on a high wall, and he will surely succeed. Confucius has a wonderful comment on this. He said, "A gentleman hides things in his body to wait for the time. Why not?" I'm fully prepared and patiently waiting for the opportunity to attack, so once I act, I'm afraid I won't get anything?
The above are the most classic eight sentences in the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, which are concise and to the point, and have great guiding significance to life. In fact, every hexagram and hexagram in the Book of Changes has rich connotations, and we will continue to explore them in depth.
