What does it mean to draw a Gen hexagram in the kitchen at home?

The Gen hexagram shows the possibility of various changes in the "Gen" situation. "Gen" (gěn) means that food is difficult to bite or chew. The code name of the Gen hexagram is 1:1. The main hexagram and the guest hexagram are both Gen hexagrams. The hexagram image is a mountain and the Yang number is 1. It is impossible for two mountains to merge into one mountain, but when the host and the guest get along together, they cannot but influence each other and have to communicate with each other. The host party should take appropriate proactive measures to improve the relationship between the two parties when possible, while maintaining a tough attitude and patiently waiting for the guest party to change.

1 Explanation

Structure and hexagrams and lines

The main hexagram in Gen hexagram is the same as the guest hexagram, and the corresponding lines are also the same. Therefore, there is no harmony of yin and yang, only contradiction. There are two types of contradictions, one is Yin Yao versus Yin Yao, because both sides are Yin Yao, there is no offensive nature, only opposition, no conflict, such as the lower and middle Yao of the main hexagram and the guest hexagram. The other is Yang Yao versus Yang Yao, where both sides are aggressive and not only opposed but also conflicting, such as the upper Yao of the main hexagram and the guest hexagram.

Among the six lines, some are in place and some are not. The ones that are in position are shown in red, which are potential favorable factors for the main party; the ones that are not in position are shown in sky blue, which are potential negative factors for the main party. Since there are no corresponding lines, these six lines represent potential factors, and there are no real favorable or unfavorable factors for the main party. Therefore, the current status does not require major changes for the owner. Even if it is changed, it may not necessarily have good results.

If you want to change, in terms of the main hexagram, you can consider changing the first line. This line is inappropriate and represents the passive side of the main hexagram. This passive state is the result of the decline of the main party. If it has declined to the level of the Gen hexagram, it is difficult to return to the positive and rising state of the past. However, there can be yang in the yin, and some proactive measures can be taken to the extent possible. If the host is proactive, he or she can take advantage of the passivity of the guest to improve the relationship between the host and guest, thereby benefiting himself.

Both the second and third lines are in power. The main party should maintain rather than change these two factors. In particular, they should maintain a tough attitude. Otherwise, the situation will be dire for the main party. More disadvantageous.

As for the guest hexagram, it is impossible for the host to change. We can only expect changes in the guest, especially a change in the guest’s attitude. If the guest’s attitude changes from tough to easy-going, then the host will be It is beneficial. This change may be made by the customer himself, or it may occur naturally. The change from the Gen hexagram to the Kun hexagram in the sutra hexagram is a routine change and is likely to occur naturally, but the host must be patient and wait.

In summary, the host should take appropriate proactive measures to improve the relationship between the two parties when possible, while maintaining a tough attitude and patiently waiting for changes on the guest side.

All the hexagrams and six lines contain "gen". Except for the sixth line, "gen" is followed by "qi", and "gen" is used as a verb. The original meaning of "gen" is "food is not easy to bite or chew", and it can also mean "to stop, to be still". Now used as a verb, its meaning is "to stop". For various parts of the body, it should be " Hold,” “grasp,” or “hold.” The hexagrams and lines respectively describe holding various parts of the guest's body. These are all metaphors. If the judgment word is deleted and the name of the line is omitted, it can be seen that the hexagram and line word vividly and completely describe the current state of the subject's relationship:

Hold his back and you will not get his body; Walking in his courtyard, you can't see him (the current relationship between the two parties)

Hold his toes,

Hold his calves, he can't move at will, He felt unhappy.

Holding his waist, tearing his spine, the pain was like burning his heart.

Hug his body.

Pressed his cheek and spoke in an orderly manner. (Forcing the person above has no effect, conversation and communication are still important)

Sincerely stop him from walking away.

(Sincerity is the most important thing)

The hexagrams and lines are explained one by one below:

The hexagrams

〖Original text of the hexagrams〗If you carry it on your back, you will not get it; If you go to the court and don't see the person, there is no blame.

〖Translation〗 If you hug his back, you can’t get his body; if you walk in his courtyard, you can’t see him, there is nothing to blame.

〖Explanation〗There is no response among the six lines of the hexagram, which means that in the current state, even if the host actively contacts the guest, he will not get a response from the guest. However, the host should still take the initiative to contact the guest. If the host takes the initiative to contact the guest and improves the relationship between the two parties as much as possible, the host should not be blamed; otherwise, the host should be blamed.

Yin Yin

〖Original text〗 Gen’s toes are free from blame and benefit Yongzhen.

〖Translation〗Hold his toes, blame nothing, and help you persevere forever.

〖Explanation〗The first line is the lower line of the main hexagram, which represents the action of the main hexagram. Yin means that the main hexagram is passive. Yao Ci suggested that the host take the initiative and "gen Qi toe". The toes are only a small part of the body. Grasping the host's toes cannot stop the guest's actions. However, this is an attempt. The host has nothing to blame for doing so, and it is conducive to always taking the initiative, "Benefiting Yongzhen".

〖Structural Analysis〗The first line is in the yang position, and this line is the yin line. The yin line is in the yang position, which is inappropriate and does not correspond to the four yins. If it is inappropriate, it means that the host is passive and may be attacked by the guest and suffers losses, which is a potential disadvantage to the host; if it is not appropriate, the guest is also passive, and the potential factor has not become a real disadvantage to the host. . The main party's passivity is the result of long-term decline and is not caused by the main party's misconduct, so it is said to be "no blame". There is no harm to the host if this situation continues and it can be maintained. The line says "Li Yongzhen".

Er Yin

〖Original text〗Gen's body, if not rescued, will follow him, and his heart will be unhappy.

〖Translation〗Grab his calf, he can't move freely, he feels unhappy.

〖Explanation〗The second line is the middle line of the main hexagram, which represents the quality of the main hexagram. Yin represents the poor quality of the main hexagram, such as lack of funds, low status, weak strength, and poor education. Low, wait. At the same time, the fifth line is also a Yin line, indicating that the quality of the guest is also poor. Both sides are of poor quality and neither can expect to gain anything from the other. Therefore, although the host has taken the initiative, the host's initiative is limited. When the host tries to pull the guest, the guest feels that he cannot act according to his own wishes, and instead feels unhappy. "Féi" (féi), gastrocnemius, the meat behind the tibia, commonly known as "calf". "Zheng" (zhěng), rescue, rescue: rescue.

〖Structural Analysis〗The second line position is the Yin position, This line is a yin line. The yin line is in the yin position and is in position. However, if it is in the wrong position, it indicates that the main party is not of good quality and may benefit from the guest, which is a potential favorable factor for the main party. ; There is no response, indicating that the quality of the guest is not good, and the potential factors have not become a real factor beneficial to the host. Therefore, there is no judgment word in the line.

Sanyang

〖Original text〗Gen Qi Li, Li Qi Wei, Li Xun Xin

〖Translation〗Holding his waist, tearing his spine, the pain was like burning his heart.

〖Explanation〗The third line is the upper line of the main hexagram, which represents the attitude of the host. It means that the host has a tough attitude. At the same time, the sixth line is also a yang line, and the attitude of the guest is not serious. Let the guest leave, "gen Qi limit". The guest insists on not complying, "listing the Qi Wei", the severe pain makes the guest feel very uncomfortable, "limit" (xiàn), the specified range. . This should refer to waist. "夤" (yín) refers to "璌", Jiajirou.

〖Structure Analysis〗The third line is the yang position, and this line is the yang line. If Yao is in the Yang position, it is in position, but it does not correspond to the six Yangs. When it is in position, it indicates that the host's tough attitude may restrict the guest and protect the interests of the host, which is a potential favorable factor for the host; if it does not respond, it indicates that the guest The attitude of the other party is also tough, and the potential factors have not become real favorable factors for the main party, so the Yao Ci does not add judgment. Since the third and sixth Yao are both Yang Yao, there is a fierce conflict between the two sides, and the Yao Ci describes it as "Lie". "It's Yin, it sharpens the heart".

The Four Yin

〖Original〗It is his body, and there is no blame.

〖Translation〗Hold his body, No blame.

〖Explanation〗The fourth line is the lower line of the guest hexagram, which represents the guest's actions. Yin means that the guest is passive, for example, defensive, retreating, not wanting to take risks, not wanting to explore, or. Open up new areas of development, just maintain the status quo, etc. The host took positive actions to prevent the guest from leaving. In order to maintain the relationship between the two parties and avoid further deterioration of the relationship between the two parties, the host did its best and has no blame.

〖Structural Analysis〗The fourth line is in the Yin position. This line is the Yin line. The Yin line is in the Yin position and is in position. However, it does not correspond to the position of Yin, indicating that the guest side is negative. Passivity may be a good opportunity for the main party to develop, and it is a potential favorable factor for the main party; if there is no response, it means that the main party is also passive, and the potential factors have not become real favorable factors for the main party. This is the long-term decline of both parties. As a result, it is not the fault of the main party at this time, so the line says "no blame"

五阳

〖Original text〗Gen Qi's assistant, the words are orderly, and he regrets his death. /p>

〖Translation〗 Pressed his cheek, spoke in an orderly manner, and regret disappeared.

〖Explanation〗The fifth line is the middle line of the guest hexagram, which represents the quality of the guest. Yin means that the quality of the guest is poor, such as lack of funds, low status, weak strength, low education, etc. wait. The guest needs the host's help. When the host takes the initiative to communicate with the guest, both parties can talk about the problem. The host can do this to such an extent that he has no regrets. "auxiliary" (fǔ), human cheekbones: auxiliary car and mutual dependence ("car" refers to the gums, a metaphor for mutual dependence).

〖Structural Analysis〗The fifth line is in the yang position, and this line is the yin line. The yin line is in the yang position, which is inappropriate and does not correspond to the two yin lines. If it is not in place, it indicates that the quality of the guest is not good, and the guest may seek benefits from the host, which is a potential disadvantage to the host; if there is no response, it indicates that the quality of the host is also poor, and there is no possibility of benefiting the guest. The potential factors have not become real disadvantages to the host, so the line says "regret for death".

Liu Yang

〖Original text〗 Dun Gen, auspicious.

〖Translation〗Sincerely stop him from walking away, good luck.

〖Explanation〗The sixth line is the upper line of the guest hexagram, which represents the guest’s attitude. Yang represents the guest’s tough attitude. It is auspicious for the host to sincerely prevent the relationship between the two parties from deteriorating further. This auspiciousness is conditional. The host must take the initiative sincerely. "Dungen" contains the meaning of sincerity and initiative.

〖Structural Analysis〗The sixth line is in the yin position, and this line is the yang line. The yang line is in the yin position, which is inappropriate and does not correspond to the three yangs. If it is inappropriate, it shows that the tough attitude of the guest may cause the host to be restricted, which is a potential disadvantage to the host; if it is not appropriate, it shows that the attitude of the host is also tough, and the host does not accept the restrictions of the guest, so the potential factors have not become A real disadvantage to the host. The line says "auspicious". This auspiciousness does not mean that the guest's tough attitude is auspicious to the host. It means that if the host treats the guest sincerely and strives to improve the relationship between the two parties, it will be "dungen". This will be good for the host. , is auspicious.

Yu, there will be no disaster in this way; this will also help to maintain chastity forever.

Top 9: Pay attention to protecting your head. auspicious.

Interpretation of 8

This hexagram specifically talks about health care. It talks about not being too tired and paying attention to protecting all parts of the body, so that disaster can be avoided. These views at least show that the ancients cherished their own lives and already had considerable medical knowledge. Although the hexagram does not mention specific maintenance methods, there is a dominant idea: to rest and move. This can be regarded as one of the characteristics of the traditional maintenance concept.

Just as civility and martial arts complement each other, so do movement and stillness. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, the body and mind can be adjusted and nourished, maintaining vitality. The inspiration for this kind of view probably comes from nature and the rhythm of movement and changes in all things in nature. On the one hand, it is based on life experience, on the other hand, it is deeply inspired by inner feelings, and thus comes to the view that maintaining the natural rhythm of life itself is the best maintenance.

From this point of view, excessive tension or excessive rest will damage the rhythm of life movement and must be adjusted. The balance of the physical body (life) itself, the balance of the psychology (sexuality) itself, and the balance between the two is the degree to be achieved by adjustment.
