Interpretation of Sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes in the vernacular.

The sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes are "uneconomical hexagrams". The original and vernacular explanations are as follows:

Original: bad: constant; Little foxes are good for the economy, but not for the tail.

Vernacular: the symbol of "uneconomical divination" is not finished: you can get rich through hard work; Fox almost crossed the river to the other side, but his tail was soaked, which was unlucky.

Original: "Elephant" said: Fire on water is of no help; A gentleman is very careful in distinguishing things from others.

Vernacular: "Xiangci" says: In the divination, the divination is the image of fire and water, and the divination is under the ridge (water). The fire is on the water, the fire burns, the water waves are vast, and the fire and water are opposite, which symbolizes unfinished; At this time, a gentleman should distinguish all kinds of things clearly, see the essence of things clearly, and strive to make things change in a good direction, so that everything can be realized.

On the sixth day, it was sloppy again.

Vernacular: On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the little fox got his tail wet when crossing the river, which would cause trouble.

The Elephant says, "Just follow its tail", and I don't know what it is.

Vernacular: "Xiang Ci" said: "Little fox got his tail wet when crossing the river", which shows that he has more than he can chew, and he doesn't know how hard he can make, so he is impatient and rash, and as a result he gets into trouble.

Original: 92, drag its wheels, Zhen Ji.

Vernacular: 92, drag the wheel backwards to keep the car from fast-forwarding, and stick to the right path to get good luck.

Original: "Xiang" said: 92 Zhen Ji, China and Israel are right.

Vernacular: Xiang Ci said: 92-year-old Yao is lucky because he is firm, correct and fair, and the golden mean. If he does this, he will be lucky.

Original: 63, do not help, levy fierce, benefit the mountain.

Vernacular: 63. Things are unfinished. It is dangerous to rush in and travel far, but it is conducive to crossing the river.

Original: "Xiang" said: "If you don't help, you will be fierce", which is inappropriate.

Vernacular: "Xiang Ci" said: "It is dangerous to do things rashly before they are finished", which shows that the position at this time is inappropriate.

Original: 94, Zhen Ji, regret death; Use the earthquake to cut the edge of the devil and reward the big country for three years.

Vernacular: 94. Sticking to the right path will bring good luck and regrets will disappear; Conquered the ghost country with thunderous momentum. After three years of fierce fighting, he finally won and was made a vassal of a big country.

Original: Xiang said: "Zhen Ji repented of his death", and he will certainly do it.

Vernacular: "Xiang Ci" says: "Stick to the right path, you will get good luck, and your regrets will disappear", which shows that you have achieved your ambition to make contributions.

Original: June 5, Zhen Ji, no regrets; The light of a gentleman is blessed.

Vernacular: 65, stick to the right path or be lucky, no regrets; This is the glory of a gentleman's virtue, and the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness can bring good luck.

Original: "Xiang" said: "The light of a gentleman" is also auspicious.

Vernacular: Xiang Ci said: "The virtue of a gentleman is brilliant", which shows that at the critical moment when this matter is about to succeed, you should have the virtues of honesty, trustworthiness and openness, so that you can succeed, shine and get good luck.

Original: on the 9 th, drinking is not strange; In the beginning, there are gains and losses.

Vernacular: On the ninth day, you are full of confidence and trust in everyone. At this time, you can enjoy drinking and having fun without any disaster. Indulging in excessive drinking and getting wet by alcohol shows that trusting others too much will damage the gentleman's right path.

Original: Xiang said: "I don't know how to drink.

Vernacular: Xiang Ci said, "If you indulge in wine, you will get wet.". If you are so drunk, you will miss the big event and be doomed to failure, which is the result of unrestrained indulgence.

Extended data:

According to legend, The Book of Changes was written by Zhou Wenwang Jichang, and its contents include The Book of Changes and Biography. Classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, each of which has its own interpretation (hexagrams) for divination. The Book of Changes did not put forward the concepts of Yin-Yang and Taiji, but was influenced by Taoism and Yin-Yang theory. Biography contains seven kinds of words to explain hexagrams, a total of ten articles, collectively known as "Ten Wings", which is said to be written by Confucius.

The background of this book:

In the early society of China, due to the low productivity and underdeveloped science, the ancestors could not give scientific explanations to natural phenomena, social phenomena and human physiological phenomena, which led to the worship of God and thought that there was a supreme God behind things, which dominated everything in the world.

When people suffer from natural and man-made disasters repeatedly, they sprout the desire to predict sudden disasters and their behavioral consequences with the help of providence, so as to achieve the purpose of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. In the long-term practice, various prediction methods have been invented to communicate between man and god, and the Zhouyi, which can best reflect the meaning of god, is produced under such conditions.
