The Book of Changes is so simple —— A brief analysis of the story of Zuo Zhuan (2)

On the 15th day of Xi Gong, Jin (Yiwu) returned to China to reign. Before returning to the State of Jin, Qin Mugong (Shen Sheng's sister, married to the State of Qin, his wife) entrusted Jia Jun (also his mother) to him, and all his sons in exile (Jim and Yiwu's brothers, including) were taken back, but later Jin and Jia Jun committed adultery. Jin once promised to send a gift to the Chinese doctor, but later he gave up. It also promised to five cities west and south of the Yellow River in Qin Mugong, but none of them were fulfilled. There was a famine in Jin, and Qin sent it corn; There was a famine in Qin, and Jin refused to buy grain, so Qin Mugong attacked Jin. Before attacking the state of Jin, Mu Gong asked people to predict good or bad luck:

The process of hexagrams:

It's my dad's fault. It's related to Jihe, waiting for the car to pay for it. At the same time, he said: "Good luck, if you lose three times, you will win the King of Jin. When his divination met Dharma, he said, "After three or three times a thousand times, he won the male fox. "Fox method, will be the king. "Gu Zhizhen Festival, the wind also; Its regret, mountain also. In the autumn of 20, I chose material instead of material. I'm sorry. What's the point of being unbeaten? (Father Butu divined with grass, and Geely said, "Cross the Yellow River and wait for the car. Qin Mugong asked him carefully, and Father Butu replied, "This is great luck. The Jin army lost three times in a row, and the king of Jin was bound to be captured. This divination is "ancient", and the inscription says:' After expelling a thousand chariots three times, you will get a male fox three times.' Male foxes must mean their monarch. Gu's inner cloth is the wind, and the outer cloth is the mountain. In autumn, our wind blows over their mountains, blows off their fruits and gets their wood, so we can beat them. What are you waiting for if you don't lose? ")

The result of divination

The Jin army lost three times and retreated to North Korea.

Analysis of divination: First of all, the soothsayer got a divination called Gu, which predicted the good or bad of war. The prediction is auspicious, but we will have doubts in the process of interpreting divination? Why the divination in the Book of Changes, whether it is divination or diction, does not exist for the time being like the so-called "going three times a thousand times, and after three times, you will get the fox" in Zuo Zhuan. Let's take a look at other statements made by fortune tellers. In forecasting, we generally have to consider time, which is extremely important. According to this fortune teller, we can infer the following points. The second main divination is the lower divination (the inner divination is for oneself), and the guest divination (the outer divination is the external cause) takes the upper divination, which is similar to the plum blossom. Third, in the Spring and Autumn Period, divination combined with the five elements existed, but it was not very prominent.

Later generations' interpretation of the hexagrams in Grain Rain mainly focused on the interpretation of the hexagrams. "Three days first, then three days later" generally means that our predecessors should make persistent efforts like Yu Zhong, which is what we insist on in modern times. This is good luck!
