Master's Interpretation of Divination: The Tenth Eight Diagrams, Mountain Wind, Up and Down (Asking about Feelings)

The method is that things go bad after a long period of accumulation. Things that are not used for a long time will give birth to insects; People will get sick if they don't exercise for a long time; The society has been stable for a long time, and disasters are everywhere. If the system is not reformed for a long time, it will be out of date. All these phenomena seem to be deceptive. Its "Elephant" said:' There is wind at the foot of the mountain. A gentleman cultivates himself with inspiration. Therefore, some people explain the divination of divination in this way: the wind blows down the mountain and leaves fall like ruins, so it is called divination. This explanation is a kind of.

But it can also be understood this way. The external divination of the ancient divination is Gen, and the internal divination is Xun. It can be said that the outer cloth is a mountain and the inner cloth is the wind. This is because gen and mountain are actually different, and Xun and Feng are also different. Divination can't be simply considered as' there is wind under the mountain'.

We must first understand the meaning of Gen and Xun, and then we can understand divination. Root, "Shuo Gua Zhuan" said:' The ultimate thing, everything begins at the beginning, and the root will stop'. In other words, gen means to stop things. So it is not accurate to understand gen as a mountain. Similarly, we can't simply regard Xun as the wind. "The Biography of Zhouyi Gua" says:' Xun, Southeast, Qi'. To make things neat, in modern language, is to make things neat, regular and orderly.

Let's look at the story about divination. The story goes like this: in ancient times, people who did good deeds put 100 bugs (such as centipedes, scorpions, spiders, etc. ) put them in an urn, then seal their mouths, bury them in the ground, and open them after several years. The insect that can survive is the strongest and the king of insects. The significance of this story is that at first, the urn was chaotic. Later, after some efforts, King Worm finally won the final victory and gradually established a "new political and economic order" in the urn. The process of establishing this new order is also Xun. So, make things tidy.

Understand the meaning of Xun, and it is easy to understand the divination of Gu Gua. In the above experiment, the urn is the root, which isolates one hundred bugs from the outside world; The process of insects constantly fighting in the urn and establishing a new order is Xun. The urn is outside and the bugs are inside. Therefore, the diviner's divination is an external divination.

Generally speaking, the diviner's divination image is: things seem unchanging on the surface, but in fact they are changing gradually inside, and finally change from quantitative to qualitative. So, according to your situation, you have worked hard for two years (quantitative change) and finally want to go to her city (qualitative change). You have made all kinds of preparations. This is the process of establishing a new order, and the strong will eventually win.
