Preface to divination

The preface to "divination" says: "People must be compared, so they are compared." It means: many people must have pro-comparisons, so there are countless comparisons after the divination.

Interpretation of divinatory names

Ratio affinity dependence

The preface divination says: "Compare with others, compare with others", and comparison is pro-comparison. The original meaning of Bi is to be close to each other, and the word Bi in seal script means that two people are close together.

Haiku says: "Compare, help", and help means help, that is, help each other. This is an extension in the sense of pro-comparison. People are pro-comparison, so they are auxiliary.

Miscellaneous hexagrams say "I am more worried than a musician", which means that I am more happy than hexagrams, and I am more worried than hexagrams. This is relative, learning divination is an army battle, which is more joyful than fighting each other.

These hexagrams also extend the meaning of proximity, inclination, joy, attachment and mutual assistance.

Comparing hexagrams is the repetition of the teacher's hexagrams, that is, looking at the teacher's hexagrams backwards is comparing hexagrams.
