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

Today, we begin to appreciate the third and fourth hexagrams explained by the 40th hexagram.

Interpretation of the third divination

Word: 63: negative multiplication to win; Chastity.

Interpretation of words

Tail: refers to people who carry things, and here is a metaphor for people who lack morality and talent. By car, I mean by car, which is a metaphor for high officials and generous people. A thief is a thief.

Sitting in a gorgeous car with something on your shoulder attracts robbers. Even if you can stick to your duties, there will be difficulties.

Explain that the truth inspired by this book is: worthy of the name, morality is not worthy of the name, and there will be disasters. If it is not worthy of the name, there will be disasters. Six or three are yin, symbolizing villains but located in a high position; Moreover, yin and yang are not in the right position, and morality and status are not commensurate. There will inevitably be people who want to grab this position. Even if you stick to the right path, it is difficult to avoid shame.

In Xiang, this paper analyzes its essence as follows: "negative and multiplication" can also be ugly; Who is responsible for self-denial? It is pointed out here that "sitting in a gorgeous car with things on your shoulders" is simply ugly and will inevitably bring disaster. Who can blame for the war disaster caused by their own reasons? This is just self-inflicted.

Confucius once commented: "Who knew the Book of Changes was stolen?" Yi said, "If you take a negative number and multiply it, you win. "Negative people are also villains; A man who takes advantage is also a tool of a gentleman. The villain took advantage of the gentleman's weapon and stole it. Slow down, be violent, steal, and think about cutting. Slow Tibetan thieves, smelting capacity to teach prostitution. Yi

"If you multiply by a negative number, you win." Stealing is also a trick. Confucius means that a humble person who is destined to bear property, lacks talent and morality, takes a noble gentleman's car and occupies an important position, which will certainly attract robbers.

Interpretation of the fourth hexagram

Words: 94: untie your thumb and pay four blessings.

Interpretation of words

Thumb: It is the foot, thumb and big toe of the foot that are in shock. S: So, so. F: Honesty.

Get rid of the entanglement of the villain like untie the tied thumb, and like-minded people will come to help with sincerity.

The fourth interpretation, slogan: 94: Understanding with thumb, friends with private service. Revelation of life

The lesson of this essay is that only by cutting off the relationship with villains and having a broad mind can you gain the trust of a gentleman.

There is a saying in the Teacher's Watch: "I am a saint, a minister, far from a villain. This ancestor is so prosperous; Dear villain, Yuan Xianchen, since then, Han has fallen. " Once a person is in close contact with a villain, a gentleman will be disappointed with him and leave one after another. Once separated from the villain, the gentleman will come back to associate with him when he sees it, so that his career can develop.

For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang was in Guo Zixing at the gates of Chuzhou, when he saw them fighting for power and profit, he took the initiative to stay away from them, recruited troops in a broader world, developed his own power, and then recruited talents to seize the world step by step from small to large.

The explanation of "solving the thumb" in Elephant is not in place. It is pointed out here that "get rid of the entanglement of the villain like untie the tied thumb" because its position is incorrect. 94 belongs to the position where the yang is in the yin but not in the middle, so the position is incorrect.

The revelation of these two divinations is that the interpretation of divination is to save the world from suffering and the people from from the mire. Therefore, it is auspicious to say that there is reunion in the hexagrams. What he means is to have a goal, to have a firm initial intention, and to have the usual cultivation and preparation. Third, it enlightens us that if we want to save the world, we really need to have people in our hearts and the world in our hearts to save the people from fire and water. We should not strive for the first position in the world, but should accumulate virtue for the people, so that thieves and robbers will not become the target of public criticism because of their inability and ability. The fourth revelation is that we should stay away from villains, unite talents who care about the world with the greatest integrity, lofty goals and inner heart, and the Duke of Zhou will vomit and feed back the world.
