How to understand that the way of heaven is left-handed and the earth is right-handed? Those who follow the path will go along with it, but those who know what is coming will go against it?

This has nothing to do with the way of heaven.

The original text is wrong. When counting ⑴ to ⑵, ⑶ follows ⑷, and when knowing that ⑸ comes from ⑹, it goes against ⑺. This is why the Book of Changes also counts backwards.

The translated hexagrams are intertwined and combined with each other. The sixty-four hexagrams explain one by one that things in the past went smoothly. To understand the situation of future things, we need to predict them. Therefore, prediction with the "Book of Changes" is to predict them one by one. Explain one thing at a time.

Notes: ⑴ "number" shǔ "Chinese Dictionary" means number, say one thing one by one. "Book of Rites·Confucianism": "If you count things quickly, you can't finish them; if you count them all, you can keep them, and you can't finish them." Kong Yingda Shu: "Numbering means saying it."

⑵ "Go" to the past, the past, and the present. "Book of Changes·Xici Xia": "The "Book of Changes" clearly shows the past and the coming, and slightly reveals the quietness."

⑶ "Zhe" is used in adjectives, verbs, verb phrases or subject-predicate phrases After that, the structure of the word "zhe" is formed to refer to people, things, and things. ? "Laozi": "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise."

⑷ "Shun" things go smoothly and according to one's wishes. "Zi Zhi Tong Jian": "Cao Gong, a jackal and a tiger, soldiers the emperor to conquer all directions, and uses the imperial court as an excuse. If he refuses today, things will be even worse."

⑸ "Zhi" understands. "Zuo Zhuan·Yin Gong Three Years": "Song Xuangong can be said to know people."

⑹ "Come" in the future. "The Analects of Confucius·Wei Zi": "You cannot admonish those who have gone by, but you can still pursue those who have come."

⑺ "Reverse" prediction and speculation. "Mencius Wan Zhang I": "Therefore, those who talk about poetry should not harm their words with words, and do not harm their ambitions with their words. Using thoughts to go against ambitions is called gaining."
