Six hexagrams decide what is good or bad?

The philosophical expression of the Book of Changes is very special. The hexagrams of each hexagram reveal the laws of the movement, change and development of the things contained in the hexagram's rhetoric through the symbolic technique of "false metaphor"

For example, the motto of the sixth day in Kungua is-"first frost, freeze the ice." The literal meaning of this essay is: Step on the frost and you will know that the cold winter is coming.

But this sentence actually means that we should be keen on observing things around us, and we can correctly infer what will happen next when we see a little movement, so as to make preparations in advance.

Each of the sixty-four hexagrams has six hexagrams, which are called the beginning, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth and the upper from bottom to top, and distinguish six different levels. Taking social status as an analogy, firstly, he is a common people, secondly, a scholar, thirdly, a doctor, fourthly, a duke, fifthly, a son of heaven, and most importantly, the emperor's father.

As far as the development of physical objects is concerned, each object represents a different stage of the development of things.

The initial position is the embryonic stage, so hide it and don't use it.

You are in the emerging stage, you should learn to make appropriate progress.

The three are in the stage of small achievements, so we should be careful and beware of violent attacks.

Four new high-level stage, be careful of the police, fear of trial.

Fifth, the stage of complete success, we should guard against rashness, arrogance and surplus.

Upper position is the ultimate stage of development, so we should pay attention to extreme poverty.

Among the six hexagrams, there is a dominant divination called "divination master". Divination masters often take the fifth hexagram. In each hexagram, the yang hexagram is called "nine" and the yin hexagram is called "six". For example, the sixth, ninth, fourth and so on.

Although the deductive method of the image is complicated and changeable, we can also find the key to decipher it. With the above basic knowledge, we can roam the mysterious maze of the Book of Changes.

How to predict with Zhouyi

Before learning to predict, we must first understand some related choices, because the principle will directly affect the result of divination.

First of all, it is not suitable for forecasting in noisy environment and when the mood is uncertain.

Secondly, there is only one forecast for everything, and it cannot be repeated.

Third, the forecast must be objective and free from external interference. There is no need to predict what you have made up your mind and what you can judge.

There are many methods for forecasting, but there are also difficulties. Today, I will teach you a copper coin divination method. This method is not complicated and simple, and it is the most practical, and it is widely circulated in the field of Yi studies and among the people.

First of all, prepare three copper coins, which can be replaced by coins in modern times.

Then put the copper coins in the palm of your hand and say what you want to ask sincerely.

After asking questions, I began to shake the coins and gently threw the copper coins on the console table.

There are four possibilities for throwing copper coins.

1. Two opposites are called shaoyang, and the symbol "-"is drawn.

2. Two opposites and one is called Shaoyin, and the symbol "-"is drawn.

3. The first three faces, called Laoyin, are marked with the symbol "-",and a black dot is added to indicate the change, because the cathode will become Yang.

4. The three opposite faces are called Lao Yang, marked with the symbol "-",and a black dot indicates that the anode will become the negative electrode.

You get a picture every time you throw it, and you get six pictures after throwing it six times. Then draw these six hexagrams from bottom to top in turn, which constitutes a complete hexagram image, and then look it up through the "hexagram sequence table", which is very convenient to use.

The images of hexagrams and the names of hexagrams are interpreted according to their words and figures of speech, but there are still many studies. We must know whether the words of hexagrams are based on figures of speech or figures of speech, and which figure of speech is based on.

After a divination comes out, there may be seven situations of "change" and "unchanged", which should be treated differently when interpreting divination. And "changing one's mind" is a new divination formed after the change of the original divination, which represents the changing factors of things.

Case 1: Six hexagrams remain unchanged, and six hexagrams remain unchanged. This is called "static divination", and divination is interpreted according to the divination of this divination.

Case 2: A hexagram has changed, and one of the hexagrams has also changed, so use this changed rhetoric to interpret the hexagrams.

Case 3: Two hexagrams phase change, two hexagrams phase change. Use these two changes to interpret divination, and the above divination is the main one.

Situation 4: three changes, three changes, and the interpretation of hexagrams is based on the hexagrams of this hexagram and combined with the changed hexagrams.

Situation 5: Four hexagrams change, four hexagrams change. The other two unchangeable hexagrams are used to interpret hexagrams, and the following hexagrams are the main ones.

Situation 6: five changes, five changes in the hexagrams, and the hexagrams are interpreted with the same hexagrams.

Situation 7: All six hexagrams have changed, and all six hexagrams have changed. If it's a dry divination or a Kun divination, use "nine" and "six" to interpret the divination, and other divinations use a change of mind to interpret the divination.

There are three situations in which six hexagrams remain unchanged, one hexagram changes and the other hexagram changes, but when interpreting hexagrams, we should refer to this hexagram and the corresponding Yi hexagram and consider it comprehensively.
