Interpretation and Appreciation of the Fortieth Gua in Zhouyi (I)

Today, we begin to appreciate the 40th hexagram.

Interpretation of the original text

Solution. Li southwest. Go nowhere and return to Kyrgyzstan. Have a good time, Gisu.

The elephant said: Thunderstorm is the solution. A gentleman forgives sins.

Vernacular interpretation

Interpretation of divination: it is beneficial to the southwest (symbolizing solving problems in a rigid and flexible way, not rushing for success), but if there is no clear goal, it is better to return to accumulating strength and returning to Geely. If you have a clear goal, you should make preparations as soon as possible.

"Xiang Ci" said: The divination in this book is an earthquake, and the earthquake is thunder; Divination is an obstacle, obstacle is rain, and thunderstorm breeds everything, which is a divination image. A gentleman can forgive others' mistakes and sinners by reading this divination.

comment

The interpretation of hexagrams follows hexagrams. In the preface to Biography of Ci, it is explained: "Things can't be difficult in the end, so let them be solved; The solution is also slow. " It means that things can't always be in danger (divination), so divination that indicates danger is followed by divination, which means that danger is difficult to alleviate and solve.

Pass on the solution, move when there is danger, move when there is no danger, and solve. Solve the southwest and go to the public. It returned to Kyrgyzstan, but it was also in the middle. If you have a wife, you will be lucky and meritorious. The heavens and the earth are solved by thunderstorms, and all the plants and trees are covered by thunderstorms. The solution is great.

The interpretation of divination is dissolution. When you are in danger (going up the bar), you must take action (going down the bar) to solve the difficulty. Taking positive action (going to the lower bar) can avoid danger (going to the upper bar), which is the lift. "To the southwest", you can get the people (surrender) if you go (to the earthquake). "Go back to your original place for good luck", because you are in the middle. "Go, act early", and make contributions. Heaven and earth (yin and yang) pity each other, and the thunderstorm blows fiercely, and all the plants sprout and take root. The timing of the application of "Jie" hexagrams is great!
