Detailed comments

From the sixth day to the sixth day, to the final use of the sixth day, the different States of different grades, the change of divination position and the change of grades always revolve around the core of Kun Shun. The two hexagrams of Gankun reflect the difference and connection between Yin and Yang in the order of hexagrams. The influence of the sun and the moon on the earth is also reflected in the change of Gankun Yin and Yang 12 divination, and the six divinations of Gankun and Kun just represent 12 months.

The divination from the ninth day to the ninth day represents the sun and the moon, and it is the number of yang positions of the earth branch, namely: Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and Xu; From the sixth day of June to the sixth day of June, Kun Gua represents the negative numbers of earthly branches: ugly, ugly, naive, unitary and expensive. Everything in the world begins with Gankun, so Gankun is the parent of the other 62 hexagrams and the two doors that open the way of heaven and earth.

We learned Gangua, and today we learned Kungua, and the door of the Yijing of Gankun was opened.

"Frost, hard ice." You can't just take it literally. Say dry hexagrams, take dragons as elephants, say Kun hexagrams, and take horses as elephants. In fact, the dragon and horse are the same. The legendary animals are dragon, phoenix and unicorn. Dragons are amphibians. It can be "flying dragon in the sky", "hidden dragon in the deep" and "seeing dragon in the field"

The dragon is a horse when it reaches the land, and the spirit of dragon and horse comes from this. Therefore, Kun hexagrams are based on horses, but the last chapter is "Dragon Fight in the Wild" or "Dragon". However, Kun Gua is different from Gan Gua. When we talk about dry hanging, we are talking about the appearance of the first star of the Oriental Black Dragon (horn, sound, edge, mansion, heart, tail, basket), "seeing the dragon in the field" and the so-called "budding" came from this. Kun Shun did not describe it with the presented image, but explained it with intuitive phenomena.

When you step on the frost, you will know that the freezing day is coming. This is to play it by ear and be a little careful, that is, to act according to the image of what you have just come into contact with, not blindly. In the pattern of divination and divination, Yin Qi was abundant at the beginning and condensed into frost. A gentleman should take this as a warning and give birth to Yin Qi, but not make it prosperous.

"Little Elephant Ci" says: "Frost is firm, and ice begins to coagulate. Training leads its way, but it is difficult to ice. " On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, at the bottom of Kun Gua, it is the beginning of Yin Kun, and its image is "Frost and Snow". Yin first condenses into frost, and then freezes when it cools down.

"Tame" means "obey". If it is not prevented in time, yin qi will soon fill up and even ice will come. Use images to compare the consequences of letting small evils go.

One thing we should pay attention to is that it is extremely important to learn sixty-four hexagrams, whether it is Gankun or other sixty-two hexagrams, whether it is six hexagrams or nine hexagrams.

It is easy for the ancients to describe these images and hexagrams, but it is difficult to locate them, and it is difficult for us to understand their positions. Therefore, it is a rule that learning the Book of Changes is the most difficult at first, but it is easy to understand at last.

"Frost, hard ice" is the orientation of Kun Gua. The beginning of Kun Gua is a kind of yin state. Be careful when stepping on the frost, who has been described as "Kun" from the beginning. If we don't take preventive measures, the Yin potential will gradually increase, and according to Yin Kun's law of the earth, it will soon freeze. It can be seen that the content contained in it is very rich, and everything should be understood and acted according to the laws of heaven and earth.

Day 6: Frost, hard ice. story

Qi and Jin in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were the most powerful governors at that time. But the monarchs of these two countries don't know how to stop the slow progress, which is very disastrous and harmful. The disaster of Qi occurred in Qi Huangong's later years. A generation of hegemons ignored Guan Zhong's last words, reused elegance, vertical carving and prescription, and died alone and tragically. What a pity! Pathetic!

The disaster in the state of Jin originated from Jin Xiangong's love for Li Ji. In the war with Li Rong, Jin Xiangong married two beauties, Li Ji and Ji Shao, which laid the groundwork for future disasters. This Li Ji looks like a fairy, a demon with da ji, and full of tricks. Since Jin Xiangong got Li Ji, she has been inseparable all day, eating at the same table, sleeping with the same pillow, and being loved. At the same time, Li Ji's participation in state affairs often hit the nail on the head, so Jin Xiangong became a god.

A year later, I gave birth to my son and named him Qi. Dedicate yourself to the public, cherish your mother and love your youngest son. Li Ji slandered in front of Qi Huangong day and night, blowing pillow breeze, trying to make Xi king of Qi. However, this prince is deeply loved by his subjects, and he is well equipped with talents and virtues. Jin Xiangong couldn't find a reason to abolish him at the moment.

Therefore, Jin Xiangong decided to be his wife from Li Jiji. However, Jin Xiangong's wishful thinking was opposed by ministers. Jin Xiangong also ordered BuYan and Shi Su to perform divination. The result of divination is a bad omen. Shi Su even compared Li Ji to Su Daji and used the principle of "Yi" to persuade the public to be wary of procrastination. But Jin Xiangong just wouldn't listen and insisted that Li Ji be his wife.

When Li Ji became a wife, she became the head of the harem, and her behavior was even more presumptuous. First, she used hue to seduce courtiers and become confidants; He also bribed another lucky minister, Wu Liang, to form a three-person group. These three colluded with each other and directed scenes of dirty political ugliness, which made the state of Jin very dark. Prince Zhongsheng died tragically at the hands of Li Ji, while two sons, Zhong Er and Yiwu, were exiled abroad respectively, paving the way for Xi Qi Li to serve the prince.

After Jin Xiangong's death, Li Ji's son finally became a monarch. But at this time, the state of Jin has changed from a powerful country to a chaotic mess. Later, it was not until Zhong Er returned to the state of Jin to take power that the troubles brought to the state of Jin by Li Ji, Jin Xiangong's minion, came to an end.

Comment and analysis

When you put your feet on the light frost in early autumn, you can feel the arrival of winter. Frost and ice belong to yin. Yin starts from the bottom and grows gradually before stripping Yang. At the beginning of things, we should be good at inferring the development trend of things. This divination shows that if you follow the law, you will get twice the result with half the effort; If you do it blindly, it will lead to failure.
