Among the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, only Gangua and Kungua are special, and after the six hexagrams, there are "forever" and "Liu Yong" respectively, and the rest are not. Dry hexagrams for six Yang hexagrams, indicating that everything goes well; Kungua is a six-yin hexagram, which means that everything is not going well. The former is easy to make people proud and slack off, while the latter is easy to make people depressed.

Those who pretend to be Yi especially add "using nine" and "using six" after the two hexagrams. Nine represents Yang, and represents powerful, favorable and successful factors. Using nine is the method of using nine, that is, how to make use of favorable conditions. Tell people to constantly strive for self-improvement and be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Sunrise and sunset go round and round, forming six different times (that is, the six processes of things' development from beginning to end: the first thought lurks, the second thought sees, the third thought warns, the fourth thought leaps, the fifth thought flies, and the last thought ends), and sunbathing is just like being on for six different time periods. The change of heaven makes everything have its own nature, and it is in a state of preserving its vitality, which is conducive to keeping the right. Everything germinates and the world is at peace.

The original Xiang (1) said: Tian Xingjian (2), a gentleman constantly strives for self-improvement (3). Without using the hidden dragon, Yang (4) is next. See the dragon in the field, Deshipu also (5). Do it all day long, repeatedly (6). Or jump into the deep, enter without blame (7). The flying dragon is in the sky, and Niu San is also (8). Kang long has regrets, and the surplus cannot last long (9). With nine, Tiande can't be the first (10).

Xiang Chuanyue: Heaven works vigorously, and a gentleman should work hard as Heaven and never stop. Hidden dragon is not used for the time being, and the sun is not full. The dragon appears in the field (figuratively speaking, the time has come), is kind to all things, and has the opportunity to meet adults (adults find that adults refer to people with power). A gentleman should always adhere to the "Tao", constantly strive for self-improvement during the day, and remain vigilant at night. The dragon may jump into the abyss, or it may go forward bravely without disaster. When the dragonfly is high above, it will certainly do something. If you fly too high, you will regret it, because things will decline when they reach the peak. Divination is the supreme heaven. Everything is in an indisputable, humble and harmonious state according to its own nature, and there is no dispute.

At the beginning of 2020, due to coincidence, He Dong, the head of the Lion Roar Gate, became a teacher and began to learn Zhouyi. Now let me record the process, gains and feelings of my study of Zhouyi.

In the process of learning, we should strictly abide by Master's purpose of "learning easy means learning Tao, calculating divination means understanding Tao, and interpreting divination means preaching". If I can make friends with Yi, I won't be happy. I hope to learn from "people with the same spirit"
