Interpretation of the Book of Changes (No.21hexagram)-eating hexagrams

Twenty-one, bite the six-pointed star "bite", and the upper and lower teeth bite off the things in the mouth to make them integrate. This six-pointed star is shaped like a human mouth. On the ninth day of September, the two Yang meridians are the upper and lower lips, the three Yin meridians are the teeth, and the 941 Yang meridian is something that crosses the mouth. You have to bite them hard before you can integrate them. Therefore, it is said that "there is something in my heart, saying that I bite." This is a symbolic metaphor.

In a social group, due to differences in personality, conflicts between people are a common phenomenon, which is often closed and difficult to integrate. As for how to clear the infarct and realize social integration, there are different value orientations. One is to fight violence with violence, eliminate all evils and adopt a strong pressure. This practice can only intensify contradictions and conflicts and cause social division, but it cannot restore the benign operation of society and fundamentally solve the problem.

Another way is to be as fair and just as possible. According to the specific situation of infarction, the width is wide and the fierceness is fierce. Not too cruel, not too tolerant. It will adhere to the middle road, and ensure that those who are blocked by infarction put the overall interests of society first, be good and reformed, and be persuaded to create a harmonious and happy social development prospect.

The latter value orientation is the most typical in the judicial trial of criminal cases, so it is called "prison use". Because of this value orientation to deal with various contradictions and conflicts, including criminal cases, the overall situation is developing in the direction of prosperity.
