The Meaning of "Ji Ji Gua" in Zhouyi

The core idea of the Book of Changes can be summarized as "the unity of heaven and man, the balance of yin and yang, and infinite flexibility". The hexagrams in the Book of Changes are divided into two parts, one is the upper hexagrams, and the other is the lower hexagrams. The divination above represents heaven, and the divination below represents people and the relationship between heaven and earth. Sixty-four hexagrams represent various changes and interactions in the universe.

One of them is the "auspicious divination" in the Book of Changes, which consists of two divination positions: fire and water. The upper divination is fire, and the lower divination is water. Fire represents enthusiasm, positivity and masculinity, while water represents tenderness, silence and femininity. The meeting of fire and water represents the mutual blending and complementarity of yin and yang, thus achieving a harmonious existence.

"Helping divination" means that human beings also need to keep the balance of yin and yang in their lives, so as to be gentle and bring rigidity, that is, to integrate perseverance into their soft character, so as to be gentle and responsible at the same time. People also need to be flexible and resourceful in life in order to cope with all kinds of complicated situations.

There is another meaning in the Book of Changes, which implies that people should face difficulties and challenges bravely and have the courage and determination to overcome them. Because only by facing challenges can we truly reflect a person's value and ability and grow into a better self.

Divination in the Book of Changes is not only a kind of divination, but also a kind of life wisdom. It tells us that on the road of life, we should keep the balance between Yin and Yang, learn to be flexible and face challenges bravely. Only in this way can we go further in life and become better ourselves.
