Chapter 1
Through the arrangement of gossip, the divinatory symbols are included; And the eight diagrams are both important, and the six hexagrams are also included; Yang and yin are deduced from each other, and changes are also included; Note an explanation on each piece, and the movement is included in it. Between personnel, so there are good and bad regrets, which is the result of action camp. Yin and Yang are the roots of setting up divinatory symbols to deduce everything in the universe. Flexibility over time is precisely why it tends to change the truth or timing. Although the timing is good and bad, when we are in good luck or danger, we must always be upright, so that we can win the game and be invincible. This is the case with personnel, and the universe is naturally the same, all of which are based on "keeping the right", so the truth of heaven and earth is to look at everything with the right. The truth of the sun and the moon is to be positive and bright, to shine on everything, and to be fair and selfless, so that everything can live its own life and get its place. All the actions in the world are attributed to being correct and single-minded, sincere and without desire, in order to achieve success. The main road is natural, and it is very vigorous to show everyone. It is very simple and easy to know. Kundao is to follow the main road and make things happen, and it is very simple to show everyone the truth flexibly. The sage made divination, which was made by imitating the simple principle of Gan Kun. The establishment of divinatory symbols is also based on the simple appearance of Gan Kun. The divinatory symbols and images first change inside, and then they are interpreted according to the images, and the truth of good and bad luck is manifested outside. Then tailoring the machine to suit the needs, leading to the achievement of the cause, is manifested in the change of intelligence. The words and deeds of saints who respect virtue, broaden their careers and care for people and love things are clearly recorded in the hexagrams. The greatest truth in heaven and earth is to make everything endless. For saints, the most important thing is to have power. How to keep your post? That depends on the morality of love. How to gather people is to use wealth. It is righteous to manage property, correct words and prohibit people from doing evil.
Chapter II
In ancient times, Fuxi ruled the world, looking up at the phenomena of the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky, observing the various laws on the earth, and observing how the literary talents of birds and beasts adapt to the environment. The near ones take images of people themselves, and the far ones take images of all things in the universe, so he created gossip to integrate the virtues of the gods, assist the cultivation of heaven and earth, and compare the situation of all things. Weaving ropes and netting, as a tool to catch fish and birds, to hunt animals and fish, is to take images from divination. It is empty from the middle, like a hole, but also for the purpose, which is a symbol of the net. After Bao Xi's death (hundreds of years), Shennong rose, cutting down trees to make plowshares, turning wood into plowshares to facilitate farming and weeding, creating many farming tools, teaching the people and increasing food in the world, which is an image of benefiting hexagrams. It is stipulated that noon is the trading time, which attracts people from all over the world, gathers goods from all over the world, exchanges needed goods with each other, and meets everyone's needs. After Shennong's death, Huangdi, Yao and Shun rose. Due to the increasingly prosperous society, the old system was no longer suitable. Therefore, the ancient sages of Huangdi, Yao and Shun changed with the times, so that people's lives would not be rigid and bored. The truth of Yi-ology is that poverty leads to change, change leads to access, access leads to permanence. If you can follow this flexible principle, what can you do? So it's like heaven helps, of course, there is no disadvantage. Huangdi, Yao and Shun established a system of cultural relics, and hundreds of officials divided their duties and did their best, which eventually led to peace in the world, so that they bowed to the arch and ruled without doing anything. It is a phenomenon of taking images of the two hexagrams of Gankun. Carving wood into a boat and sharpening wood as a boat, so that people on both sides of the strait can come and go, and they can sail to further places, which is convenient for people all over the world. Conquering cows, riding horses, dragging loads with cows, and galloping far away with horses, in order to communicate what is needed and facilitate the world, is to take pictures with hexagrams. It is a phenomenon to set up heavy doors and patrol the night to prevent thieves from invading. The invention of Chu Jiu, to benefit the people, is to take the image smaller than the divination. To make a rope bow out of a small flexible piece of wood, cut the wood into an arrow, and use the benefits of the bow and arrow to conquer the world is to take an image of the divination. In ancient times, they hid in caves in winter and lived in the wild in summer. In order to prevent the invasion of floods and beasts, later saints taught the people to build palaces with beams on the top and eaves on the bottom to resist the wind and rain, which was like the big and strong hexagrams. In ancient times, funerals were thickly piled on corpses with wood and buried in the wilderness. No graves were set up or trees were planted, and there was no definite period of mourning. Later saints, making funerals and replacing them with coffins, took images more than divination. In ancient times, when there were no words, the saints invented the documents and deeds, and the officials were also conducive to governance, and the people could also inspect them at any time. This is like taking pictures from divination.
Chapter III
So the content of the Book of Changes is to describe the image of everything in the world. The divinatory symbols in the Book of Changes are used to simulate the image of all things. This is to explain the meaning and structure of all hexagrams, so it is said that haiku represents the talent and virtue of a hexagram. The evolution of the six hexagrams of each hexagram is produced by imitating the complicated changes of everything in the world. Because of the change of things, good or bad things happen, and the regret of minor defects and the disaster of anxiety are revealed.
chapter iv
yang hexagrams have more yin and yin hexagrams have more yang. why? As far as parity is concerned, the yang hexagrams are mainly odd. For example, the three hexagrams of Zhen Kan Gen are yang hexagrams, all of which are one yang and two yin, so there are more yin hexagrams than yang hexagrams. Yin hexagrams are dominated by even numbers. For example, three hexagrams are Yin hexagrams, all of which are two yang and one yin. Therefore, there are more yang hexagrams than yin hexagrams. Although earthquakes, ridges and roots are mostly cloudy, one odd one is the main one, that is, Yang hexagrams. Although Xun, Li and Dui have many yang, one coupling is the main one, that is, Yin hexagrams. What's the difference between Yin and Yang, their virtues? It is reasonable that Yang hexagrams have one monarch and two subjects, which is the way of a gentleman; it is unreasonable that Yin hexagrams have two monarchs and one subject, which is the way of a villain.
Chapter 5
The Book of Changes says, "Friends follow your thoughts when you are uncertain." Confucius said, "What is there to worry about in the world?"? The world belongs to the same goal and takes different paths. There are hundreds of different thoughts about sharing a good ideal. " When the sun goes down, the moon rises, and when the moon goes down, the sun rises, and the sun and the moon alternate, so there is light. When the cold days are over, the hot days are coming. When the hot days are over, the cold days are coming. The alternation of cold and hot days has the order of four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The past things have shrunk, and the future things are about to expand, shrink and expand, and they are used with each other, and the benefits are generated. The flexor flexes its body, just to save energy and wait for the opportunity to come, in order to prepare for stretching and marching. Dragons and snakes hibernate in earth caves in severe winter to preserve their bodies. Specializing in the study of the essence and subtle principles, and reaching the realm of deification, you can do what you want from your heart without overstepping the rules, and you can apply what you have learned. By using the truth shown by the Yi-ology and keeping in touch with the body, we can be happy with the situation and lofty our moral career. If you exceed the things shown above, even though you are a saint, you won't know. As for studying the infinite mystery of the universe and understanding the principle of the change of everything, it is because the sage's morality is extremely noble. Zhouyi said: "Advance is trapped in a hard boulder, and retreat is based on the prickly thistle, which is extremely painful. Even when I get home, I can't see my wife. What a disadvantage. " Confucius said: "If you are trapped for your desire instead of your own predicament, you will suffer the consequences of losing your reputation. It is not the stronghold where you should retreat, but if you retreat to settle down, you will be in danger. I'm in danger of losing my name, and I'm in a state of death. Where can I see my wife? " The Book of Changes says: "The maharaja went hunting, boarded the high wall and aimed at the falcon, and hit it with one arrow, symbolizing invincible." Confucius said: "The falcon is an eagle bird, the bow and arrow are sharp weapons for hunting, and it is people who can hold the bow and shoot animals. A gentleman has talent in his body, waiting for the opportunity to come, and moving, what are the disadvantages? When you take action, there is no obstacle, and you will gain something when you go out. This is that you have accumulated your talents before you take action. You can gain something by going out, and nothing can be achieved. "
Confucius said, "A villain doesn't know shame and righteousness, so that he won't be afraid of abiding by morality, can't persuade him to do good deeds without seeing utility, and can't be punished without imposing punishment. A small punishment makes him afraid of big crimes, which is a blessing for a villain. The Book of Changes says:' A person who committed a minor criminal law at first was put in an instrument of torture with shackles, and his toes were put into the instrument of torture, and all his toes were wiped out. Although he was punished, his fault was still small, so he could turn over a new leaf from now on, and there would be no blame.' If good deeds don't accumulate, it's not enough to be famous in the world, and evil doesn't accumulate, and it's not enough to destroy itself. When a villain does things, he thinks that doing small good deeds will not get any benefits, so he simply doesn't do it, thinking that doing small mistakes will not hurt the general situation, and he won't mend. Therefore, over time, evil will fill the world, so that it can't be hidden and saved. The Book of Changes says:' Sin is deep, the instruments of torture have been loaded on the head, and both ears have gone out, which is the worst.' Confucius said, "Anyone who is in danger is because he was comfortable in his position before. The country that perished is because it thought that the country could last forever. Disturbed countries, because they thought they had been cured before, ignored the famine, so the country was disturbed and even perished. Therefore, a gentleman must be prepared for danger in times of peace. When he is stable, he should not forget the danger and survive the pain of national subjugation. When he manages, he should not forget the tragic disaster. With such caution, he can be stable and the country can always be protected. Zhouyi said:' Will it be in danger, will it be in danger? The public security of all countries in the world is like being maintained in a cluster of buds, so we should always be vigilant. " Confucius said: "Only when you are shallow in virtue and in a position of honor can you know that you are narrow and plot great things, but your strength is very small, but you bear the heavy responsibility of the world, and there are few disasters. Zhouyi said:' The broken foot overturns the duke's delicious food, which symbolizes the overthrow of his home and his humiliation. It is very dangerous.' This is the danger of being incompetent! Confucius said, "If you can know a few things in advance, you will reach the realm of wonder, right? Can be said to be a wonderful figure? A gentleman never flatters his superiors, never takes pride in his subordinates, stands firm, and is not implicated in harm. Can he be said to be a man who knows how to play tricks? A few are subtle motives for things. People who can see the signs of Geely first, gentlemen can seize the opportunity before it happens, so they can seize the opportunity to rise and take action without waiting for the future. Zhouyi said:' Being blocked by hard stones, you don't have to wait until all day to leave, but you should think of leaving this place now, which is solid and auspicious.' Like being blocked by hard rocks, you should make a quick decision and leave. Why wait all day? A gentleman knows the subtlety of things, the manifestation of things, the weak side, and the strong side. He is a figure admired by all. Confucius praised his student Yan Hui and said, "This son of Yan's family is a gentleman who knows a few things! There is nothing you don't know about when you make a mistake. Once you find it after introspection, you should correct it immediately and never make it again. Zhouyi said:' If you get lost, go to a place not far away, and immediately turn back and save yourself, you won't have too much regret. After this vigilance, you will have a good fortune.' The yin and yang of heaven and earth are touching and intimate, and they will be in harmony with each other, so that everything can be induced, pure and solid. Among all things, male and female, physical handover, yin and yang feel each other, so it can be endless. Zhouyi said:' When three people walk together, they have their own opinions, and it is difficult to unify their actions, which will inevitably detract from one person and one person will walk alone, but it is easy to get like-minded friends.' It means that everything in the world is the same. Confucius said: "A gentleman must first settle down, then he can make a difference, be calm, then speak, treat others with integrity, establish credibility, and then he can make demands on others. With these three basic accomplishments, a gentleman will be able to live in harmony with others without bias. People won't support you if you take risks. Threaten the people with words, and the people will not respond. Honesty and kindness have not yet been given to the people, but if they want to make demands and demands on the people, the people will not pay attention to sponsorship. If no one cares about it, someone will hurt you at any time. Zhouyi said:' If you don't benefit from others, you will sometimes be attacked. People who are not determined will be in danger.' "
Chapter VI
Confucius said," Are the two hexagrams of Gankun the gateway to Zhouyi? Gan represents masculine things, while Kun represents feminine things, the virtue of yin and yang, the coordination of phases, masculinity, femininity and rigidity. There is a certain system to observe everything written between heaven and earth, and to reach the natural virtue of the gods. The book of changes describes the name of everything, although it is complicated, but it does not go beyond reason. Let's look at the things it created, probably the images created by the declining and chaotic times. The Book of Changes is to clarify the past deeds, to observe the evolution of future events, and to make the subtle principles obvious, so as to explain the mysteries of the universe. As soon as we open the Book of Changes, we can see that each divination has an appropriate name, and we can clearly distinguish the forms of things in the world, so as not to be confused. For example, if Ganma and Kunniu correctly point to the changes of Chen Ji and Qi, and infer that the words are auspicious, they clearly point out that it is auspicious, and vice versa, it points out that it is ominous, without deviation, and it can be said that it is complete. The names of the things referred to in the words of the Book of Changes are mostly small, but it is very broad to explore the will. Its will is very far-reaching, its words are very colorful, its language is obscure and reasonable, and the things it discusses are both obvious and deep-rooted. It always helps people's behavior from two aspects to make clear the retribution for their losses. "
Chapter VII
The rise of the Book of Changes was probably in the Middle Ages, right? The author of the Book of Changes is probably worried. Therefore, the salute taught by the hexagrams is the foundation of virtue. Modest hexagrams teach people to be humble and respect others, and endure with humility, which is the moral handle. Re-divination teaches people to get rid of material desires and to be good, which is the foundation of virtue. Constant divination is to teach people to be consistent and lasting, and it is the reason for moral stability. Damage to hang is to teach people to punish the sense of oppression, for Xiu De's time. Beneficial divination teaches people to move to the good and mend their ways, which makes their virtue increasingly lenient. Trapped divination teaches people to be poor and not chaotic, and to keep the right path is a moral distinction. And divination teaches people that virtue is like a well, inexhaustible, in order to reach the point of morality. Guagua is to teach people to guide according to the situation, and it is a moral adaptation. Being in harmony with etiquette, being able to conform to human feelings and live in harmony are the criteria we should follow when we stand up and act. If you treat others modestly, you will be admired by others, and your achievements will naturally be more honorable and bright. After divination, the tiny Yang is located under the dark smell of the group, but it is not hidden by the five Yin. It can reply immediately before it gets lost, and distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil of everything. Things and the environment are too complicated, which will certainly make people tired. Only perseverance can overcome everything and not be tired of the complexity of external things, and there will be a day of success. The kung fu of damaging divination, punishing resentment and self-denial is the beginning of self-cultivation, which is very difficult, so it is said that "it is difficult first" After a long time, it will be easy to get used to it.
