I ching? Gangua is full of dragon's moral character and vigorous and self-reliant spirit!

After reflection on the study of the Book of Changes, we know that the core of the modern study of the Book of Changes is to keep its virtue and respect its nature, and the following interpretation will focus on this and analyze the learning methods and skills.

Look at the name of the hexagram first:

As can be seen from the hexagrams, the upper and lower hexagrams of the dry hexagrams are both dry, representing the sky and the big celestial body where everything was founded; The celestial body is boundless, symbolizing the function and law of heaven. The six hexagrams of Gangua are all yang hexagrams, so Gangua is the only pure yang hexagram among the 64 hexagrams!

The preface to divination says: "There is heaven and earth, and then everything is animistic." Heaven and earth are the source of all things and the mother of all things. The Book of Changes takes Gankun divination as the initial element, the rigidity and softness of Yin and Yang as the operating basis, and benevolence, righteousness and propriety as the fundamental action. Therefore, Gangua is listed as the first of the sixty-four hexagrams!

Then look at the words and hexagrams:

Simple translation: dry divination, early prosperity, is conducive to adhering to the right path. This "yuan" refers to the beginning and beginning of the yuan dynasty, emphasizing creativity; "Constant" means accessibility and smoothness, emphasizing smoothness; "Li" means auspicious and peaceful, emphasizing interests; "Truth" means persistence and perfection, emphasizing sustainability!

So this six-pointed star is simply in its infancy, and it can't get carried away just because it started smoothly. Only perseverance can complete a complete success!

How great the divination symbolizing the growth of all things is! Everything is born of it, and even celestial bodies are controlled by it. It makes the sky cloudy and rainy, and everything begins to grow, revealing its original image on the earth. The sun runs repeatedly, making a beautiful day have six hours; The right way to persist is to control the laws of celestial bodies, endow all things with different attributes and longevity, and maintain the balance and harmony between Yin and Yang. The greatness of heaven lies in that it created everything and made all nations peaceful.

Celestial bodies move vigorously and never stop. A gentleman should follow the example of heaven, be firm in ideals, strive for self-improvement and pursue persistently!

The dragon lurks in the water, so it is not appropriate to do something for the time being. As the saying goes, the reason why "hidden dragons should not be used" is because this Yang Yao is at the bottom.

The appearance of the dragon in the field is conducive to the people of great virtue coming out to govern the world, which means that things are constantly developing and changing in a benign way, and a good opportunity has finally appeared. When the opportunity comes, it's now or never, and we should take active action. It is said that the dragon appeared on the earth, and the gentleman got out of depression and began to plan a new stage of life.

A man of virtue is full of energy, and he is always vigilant and cautious even at night. Although he is in danger, he will be lucky and safe. As the saying goes, a gentleman works hard all day, walks the streets repeatedly, perseveres and never stops.

Youlong lurks in the deep valley, seemingly jumping but not jumping, there is nothing wrong. It is said that the dragon may jump into the deep pool, indicating that it can do something without disaster.

Dragons fly high in the sky, which is conducive to the emergence of sages. It is said that the dragon is soaring in the air, indicating that it is time for a gentleman to make great achievements.

Dragonflies are too high. If they exceed the limit, there will be regret. As the saying goes, dragons that rise to the limit will be trapped in disaster, which is a warning that people cannot pursue loftiness and fullness for a long time.

There is a group of dragons, and no one pretends to be the leader, so there is no disaster, which is an auspicious sign. As the saying goes, six hexagrams are all yang, which is the place where positive energy meets. The world's talented people gather, each showing their abilities, their virtues, a hundred flowers, and their own colors. This is a concentrated expression of harmony and virtue, and no leader is needed.

It should be noted here that among the 64 hexagrams, only the dry hexagrams of Chunyang are used, and there are more hexagrams of "using nine". In the hexagrams and hexagrams, "using nine" is adopted when all the six yang hexagrams become yin hexagrams, which embodies the idea of mutual change between gan and Kun.

Write down your thoughts.

As the first of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, the six hexagrams are all yang hexagrams, which are vigorous and vigorous, and are the symbols of all things being strong and upright. While full of positive energy information, Gangua uses the image of "dragon" to describe the development and changes of things, which is vivid and interesting, showing the unique cultural charm of Yijing!

Dragon is the noblest animal in China mythology, which sets off the supremacy of Gan Yang. At the same time, dragons are the most adaptable species, which can not only dive; You can also travel on land; At the same time, it can fly to the sky, a proper amphibian!

Therefore, the dry divination of pure yang divination has the virtue of dragon. This kind of dragon virtue, like heaven, keeps advancing and developing and follows the eternal laws of nature. It is indifferent to everything and upholds the selfless spirit to support the development of everything!

Applying the law of the development of all things, among the six hexagrams, the first one is the hidden dragon; Eryao is a budding dragon; Three hexagrams are dragons that strive to govern; Four hexagrams are leaping dragons waiting for opportunities; Five stubborn for the dragon, ambitious; Shangyi is a dragon that rises and falls. These six states show the whole process of birth, growth, prosperity and decline of all things, and imply the behavioral strategies in different stages of life!

Do meditation

Gangua should be the most widely known of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, and it is also the most widely used in daily life. When we are ambitious and show our talents, we will say, "We must turn Gan Kun around!" ; At the beginning of the new year, we will say, "As the days go by, people live longer and longer, and the spring is bursting, dry and rich"!

It can be seen that in the ancient civilization of China, the concept of Gan Kun and the spirit of the Book of Changes had a far-reaching impact on later generations. Today, people all over the country are struggling to move forward and pursue the "Chinese dream". The broad, profound, grand and open spiritual connotation and cultural thoughts contained in the Book of Changes provide us with rich spiritual food!

Coincidentally, the dragon is also the spiritual totem of the Chinese nation. To learn the spirit of divination, the most important thing is to grasp the character of the dragon. With the virtue of the dragon, we can make appropriate wisdom responses according to different stages of development and soar to the top of the world!

On a deeper level, divination is both the beginning and the end of all things. The whole book of changes is essentially dry divination. Confucius said that "the road changed", which means that the dry hexagrams evolved into sixty-four hexagrams, and the six hexagrams of the dry hexagrams became three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams. Therefore, Confucius' admiration-"Great efforts were made in the Yuan Dynasty, everything began, and this is the unification of heaven" is not unreasonable!

Everyone in China is a descendant of the dragon, inheriting the virtue of the dragon and imitating the spirit of self-improvement through divination. Just like the motto of Tsinghua University, the highest institution of higher learning in China: strive for self-improvement and be virtuous! The first sentence is from the Book of Changes? The image of "Sweet Melon" is "Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement!"
