Xun Shang Kun Xia
View, alliance but not recommendation, there is a lot of fun.

The image of this hexagram is completely opposite to that of Lin hexagram.Each other is "comprehensive hexagram".Pro is viewed from top to bottom, and Guan is viewed from bottom to top. They are both monitoring each other, so Pro and Guan interact.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "Things are big and then they can be seen, so they are seen by them." "Guan" means to show and look up.This explanation is to show the morality in front of everyone, and everyone must look up to themselves. The "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is in the position of respect, and is admired by the four yin lines; the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is also displayed to the world with the virtue of Zhongzheng.That's why it's named "Vision".

"Washing" means washing hands before offering sacrifices. "Recommend" is to offer sacrifices. "No" means not yet, "Yong" means solemn and gentle, "Ruo" is the same as Ran, and "Yong Ruo" means respect and admiration. "Hexagram Ci" uses sacrifice as a comparison, saying that when washing hands before the sacrifice, one must be as pious and solemn as the offering of sacrifices that has not yet been held, so as to establish faith in people's minds and be respected and admired.That is to say, one must be as pious as a sacrifice, and not act rashly, so as to make people believe in respect.

This hexagram, which is also one of the news hexagrams, represents August, a period when yin grows and yang disappears, but it is not played by this.In addition, it is explained from other angles, because the consistent position of "Book of Changes" is to suppress yin and help yang.

"Yuan" says: "The great view is above, and the obedience is obedient, and the Zhongzheng is the view of the world."View, "Washing and not recommending, there is Fu Yong Ruo", it is also transformed by viewing.Observe the divine way of the sky, but the four seasons are not right, the saints set up teachings with the divine way, and the world obeys.

The "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is in the position of respect, and with great virtues, he is respected by all people in the position.The inner hexagram "Kun" is Shun, the outer hexagram "Xun" is obedience, and the four Yin lines are submissive and obedient. The "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is in the middle of the outer hexagram, and the Yang Yao is in the right position; therefore, it is displayed in the world with the virtue of "Zhong Zheng".Washing without offering sacrifices, he is respected and admired; it means that those who are below are influenced by seeing Shengde.Looking up at the mysterious law of heaven, there will be no deviation in the cycle of the four seasons; therefore, if the sage imitates the mysterious law of heaven, establishes enlightenment, and follows nature, the world will be convinced unconsciously.

"Elephant" says: "When it is popular on the ground, watch it; the first kings used provincial prescriptions to watch the people and set up teachings."The upper hexagram "Xun" of the Guan hexagram is the wind, and the lower hexagram "Kun" is the earth. The wind blows on the ground and pervades all things.The sage kings of ancient times imitated this spirit, patrolling all sides, observing the customs of the people, and setting up appropriate enlightenment respectively.

Sixth day: Tong Guan, villains are not to blame, gentlemen are stingy.

"Xiang" says: "The view of children in the sixth grade of junior high school", the way of "little people". "View" should be understood here.The hexagrams focus on the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", so they are displayed; what each line says is to watch the "Ninth Five-Year Plan". The yin line of the "sixth day" is weak and weak, and it is at the lowest position. Looking up at the "ninth five-year plan", the distance is far away; therefore, it symbolizes lack of talent and knowledge, and can't foresight. It is a child's point of view, and of course it is naive. "Little man" refers to the common people, and the common people are ignorant, this is an inevitable situation, so there is no fault.But for those who are responsible for education, it is a disgrace.

This line shows that observation should not be naive, but should be far-sighted.Sixty-two: peeping, benefiting privet.

"Elephant" says: "Looking at the privet", it can also be a knife. "Peeping" is the same as peeping, and peeping means peeping through a hole; peeping through a crack in a door. "Six-two" Yin Yao, inner hexagram, weak and dark, looking at the glorious "Ninth Five-Year", dazzled and unclear, as if peeking through the crack of the door.In ancient times, it was a matter of course that women never went out. "Xiang Zhuan" said that for a dignified man, this kind of peeping through the crack of the door, which is not upright, is too ugly.

This line shows that the observation cannot be narrowed down.Six three: watch my life advance and retreat.

"Xiang" said: "Watch my life advance and retreat", which is not out of the way.This "Yao Ci" can be interpreted as observing my own way of survival to decide whether to advance or retreat; it can also be interpreted as observing my own way of living.In short, it means that survival lies in advancing and retreating. "Six Three" is at the top of the lower hexagram, and it is in a position where you can advance and retreat. You don't need to observe the high "Ninth Five-Year Plan", but you should observe your own opinions to decide whether to advance or retreat.You should choose the good and be stubborn, and you should not follow others and lose your principles.

This line shows that observation should be independent and not blindly followed.June [-]th: Observe the light of the country and use the guest to the king.

"Xiang" says: "Looking at the light of the country" is also a "guest". "Bin" means an official, a virtuous person in ancient times went to the court, and the emperor entertained him with the etiquette of a guest, so it is said to be a guest. "June Fourth" is the closest to "Ninth Five-Year". The "Ninth Five-Year Plan" symbolizes masculine, upright, and respectable kings, so "June Fourth" can see the brilliance of the king's virtues.But why do you say "Guarding the Light of the Country"?Because the customs and customs of a country are enough to observe the king's virtue.The word "sightseeing" today comes from here. The yin line of "June 22th" is at the bottom of the upper hexagram "Xun". It has a docile personality and is suitable for assisting the king; therefore, it is auspicious to be an official in the court.In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Jing Zhong of Chen Guo was born, he obtained this line through divination. "Zuo Zhuan Zhuang Gong 300 Years" records: "Although Jing Zhong himself fled to another country, after [-] years, his descendant Tian Shi finally took control of the political power of Qi State."

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Intellectuals, seeing the customs and customs of a country, know whether to respect the magi, and decide whether to assist the king of the country.

This line shows that we should observe the conditions of the people and understand their sufferings.Ninth Five: Watching my life, a gentleman is not to blame.

"Xiang" said: "Watch my life", and watch the people. The "Ninth Five-Year" yang line is in the middle of the supreme, and there are four yin lines below it looking up, symbolizing a virtuous king and becoming the main body of this hexagram.As far as a gentleman is concerned, he should always reflect and observe his daily actions, and stick to integrity, so of course there will be no disasters.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: As long as the ruler observes the customs of the people, he will know whether his actions are justified.

This line shows that one should observe one's own actions and reflect upon one's own actions.Upper Nine: Watching his life, a gentleman is not to blame.

"Xiang" said: "Looking at its life", the ambition is not flat.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: "Observe the situation of other groups of people", which shows that Shangjiu has extraordinary ambition.
