Appreciation of the sixty-second hexagram "Leishan Xiaoguo"

The hexagrams are too small: Heng and Li are really small things, not big things. The sound of birds is not suitable for going up and down. Good luck.

It's like saying that there is thunder on the mountain, which is too small; A gentleman is too respectful, too sad and too frugal.

They say it's too small, so it's too small to live. Be virtuous and keep pace with the times. If you are soft-hearted, small things will be very lucky. I just missed my seat. I missed it. It's a big deal. There is the image of a bird and the sound of a bird. Up and down is not appropriate, it is good luck; Go up against it, follow it.

The last six words: when the Buddha meets it, the bird leaves it, and it is fierce, which is called disaster.

The elephant said: Buddha has met and is already strong.

65 words: dense clouds don't rain, from the western suburbs, public swimming takes the other in the cave.

Xiangyue: Miyun doesn't rain, it's already on.

94 words: not strange, unlucky. Be strict, but never loyal.

Xiangyue: If you meet, you will not be in the middle. If you are tough, you must quit, but you can't grow.

If the defense is too strong, it will be fierce.

Meet: From or out, how fierce.

62 words: ancestor, ancestor; Those who do not welcome the monarch, those who welcome the minister; No blame.

The elephant said, I can't get through without my monarch.

The slogan of the sixth day: birds are fierce.

The elephant said: Birds are fierce, but there is nothing they can do.

reading comprehension

Before discussing criticism, the author first established a principle boundary: major events such as sacrifice and war can't be criticized casually, but all other small things can be discussed, criticized and praised. This shows the sacredness of sacrificing criminals and war. What is important is that within the scope of criticism, we can see that the author holds an enlightened position, especially pointing out that criticism is not good for those who have aristocratic status (princes and nobles, parents, officials) and can be criticized. At the same time, criticism should be timely and appropriate, and attention should be paid to the proper use of praise and criticism.

If in the later autocratic era, such remarks will certainly be regarded as committing an offence and will not be tolerated by the rulers, and perhaps the author will fall into the literary cage. Long Fang, an American writer, once wrote a book called Tolerance, which tells the story of rulers' intolerance of freedom of thought and speech in western history. In some cases, especially in ancient China, freedom of thought was not allowed, let alone criticizing the mistakes of kings, princes and nobles.

As long as people have their own strengths and weaknesses, criticism and praise are normal. However, the original simple truth has become more and more complicated because of people's grading, and even leads to death. Is this a human tragedy or a historical tragedy? Tolerance is easier said than done.
