What exactly does divination in the Book of Changes mean?

The first of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, the sky is vigorous. It is said that the sky is vigorous and the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement.

This symbol of heaven, jade dragon (gentleman's virtue) and pure sun is overlapped with this symbol.

Harmony and health mean prosperity and strength. Divination is based on the principle of animism, with "yuan, constancy, reason and truth" as the oracle to show good luck and teach people to abide by heaven's virtue.

Xia Zi Chuan said: Yuan is primitive; Heng is the meaning of opening; Interest means harmony; Chastity is chastity and sureness.

Yuan, meaning the beginning or foundation of things; Constant means the growth and expansion of things; Interest means the creation and harvest of things; Chastity means that things tend to be positive and static, and the development process ends.

Xun said: great things are done, and everything is expected to start, which is to unify the sky. Sex and rain, goods logistics. Daming stopped at six people, and when it was time to ride six dragons to rule the sky, the avenue changed and everyone took their positions. Protecting peace and harmony is beneficial. The first one is Xianning, all countries.

"The greatness of Ganyuan, where everything starts, is the unity of heaven." This is the explanation of "Yuan", which means that the essence of "Yuan" is the power resource on which everything depends for existence and transformation, and this essence and infinite power resource runs through the whole process of the operation of heaven and earth.

This is the explanation of "constancy", which means that with the cooperation of dry elements, clouds turn into rain and drop down, and everything is nourished by it, thriving into various categories and thriving.

"Daming begins with the end, and six dragons rule the sky." "Daming" refers to the sun, symbolizing the operation of heaven. "Six" refers to the six time positions represented by one hexagram and six hexagrams. Six time positions are six specific time and space environments. It's like flying freely in the vast sky with six dragons. "The road has changed, and each has its own life, which is conducive to chastity." This is the explanation of "chastity". The "avenue" is the sky, and the change of the sky makes everything have its own life. God-given, things suffer. Present a colorful world picture. This picture is not chaotic or contradictory, but through the coordination and interaction of all things, the highest harmony is formed, which is the so-called "Taihe". The change of heaven has kept the state of "harmony" for a long time, and everything has its own life, which is called "loyalty"

"Yuan Henry's chastity" is the four virtues of being a man and doing things, which is the essence of heaven, and its core is a new word. "Cohesion" said: "Heaven and earth are great virtues." Life is a dynamic process, which can be divided into four stages. Yuan is the beginning of everything. Constant, the length of everything; Beneficiary, everything is successful; Chastity is the success of everything. In line with the four seasons, yuan is spring, constant is summer, autumn harvest is good, and treasure is winter storage. This dynamic process does not end at the chastity stage, but begins with chastity, winter goes and spring comes, and another round of cycle begins, so as to be endless, changing with each passing day and maintaining vigorous vitality forever.

These two sentences refer to the achievements created by applying the law of the operation of heaven to personnel. The first common point is in the management of material production, while the other common point is in the management of social politics. The Book of Changes holds that heaven and earth were formed unintentionally, encouraging all things without worrying about saints, rashly and aimlessly, even though they are protected by natural operation. Management behavior is unique to human beings, so we must establish a value orientation and management objectives, consciously manage and plan, and make reasonable arrangements. Heaven and earth are unintentional, people are intentional, heaven and earth are inaction, and people are promising. This is the fundamental difference between the natural history of the universe and the history of human civilization. Management is necessary, because the sky can be biological but can't distinguish things, the earth can carry people but can't manage people, and the responsibilities of heaven and people are different. Management can be done because human beings can push. Conforming to the harmonious law of nature is helpful to nourish the world, promote the development of things, "take the lead in producing ordinary things" in material production, promote product richness and economic prosperity, "make the world better" in social politics and promote political harmony and world peace.

The elephant said: Heaven is strong, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement.

Image biography is the interpretation of hexagrams, which is called image, and the image of six hexagrams is called elephant. Divination is heaven, and heaven runs vigorously. As a gentleman who participates in management, he should transform the spirit and strength of Heaven into his own subjective spirit and inner quality, so as to understand this divinatory image, promote Heaven to understand people and accept the enlightenment of natural laws.
