Xian, Heng, Lizhen, take female auspiciousness.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "There are heaven and earth, and then there are all things; there are all things, and then there are men and women; there are men and women, and then there are couples; there are couples, and then there are father and son; There are ups and downs, and then the etiquette is wrong."

"Book of Changes" begins with the creation of heaven and earth, and the second chapter begins with the relationship between men and women that originated in human relations.

"Salty" means sense, why not just say sense?Because the word sense removes the heart and becomes salty; it symbolizes unintentional induction, which is a natural and inevitable phenomenon between the opposite sex. "Xian" also means both, because everything is in response, so it is named "Xian" with the meaning of both and feeling.In this hexagram, the lower hexagram "Gen" is a boy, and the upper hexagram "Dui" is a girl; it symbolizes that a boy modestly pursues a girl.Also, "Gen" means stop, and "Dui" means joy, which means that love should not be half-hearted, but should be pursued unswervingly, and make the other party happy and moved with sincerity.

It is an inevitable natural phenomenon for men and women to interact with each other, and then to love each other, so it is prosperous.But the motive must be pure, the marriage will be auspicious.

"彖" said: success, feeling also.The soft top and the hard bottom, the two qi are in harmony with each other, and in a word, the male is inferior to the female, so "Henry Zhen takes the female auspicious".Heaven and earth feel and all things are born, saints touch people's hearts and the world is peaceful; look at their feelings, and the love of heaven and earth and all things can be seen!

Salty means sense.The upper hexagram "Dui" has more yang and less yin, which is the "Yin hexagram"; the lower hexagram "Gen" has less yang and more yin, which is the "Yang hexagram"; therefore, the upper part is soft and the lower part is rigid.Also, in terms of the nature of the hexagrams, the lower hexagram "Gen" means stop, and the upper hexagram "Dui" means joy; in terms of the symbols of the hexagrams, the lower hexagram is a young man, and the upper hexagram is a girl; It has the meaning of yin and yang being in love with each other.Therefore, prosperity, steadfastness is beneficial, and marriage is auspicious.

It is a completely natural and inevitable phenomenon that young men and women who have never met before can feel each other, fall in love at first sight, and form a lifelong couple.In the same way, the heaven and the earth interact with each other, thus changing and forming all things; the sage influences all people with sincerity, thus making the world peaceful; observing the law of this interaction, one can discover the true feelings of the heaven, earth and all things!
"Xiang" said: "Mountains have luster and success; a gentleman accepts others with emptiness."

The image of the Xian hexagram, the lower hexagram "Gen" is the mountain, and the upper hexagram "Dui" is the lake.The water in the upper lake penetrates downward, and the soil on the mountain below absorbs water and weeps; thus, they communicate with each other through mutual induction.A gentleman should imitate this spirit, accept others with an open mind like a mountain; only with an open mind and no prejudice at all can he communicate with others extensively.

Lao Tzu's philosophy attaches the most importance to the word "virtual", and believes that in addition to the world of "being" that can be seen, there is a higher level of "nothing"; "nothing" is more important than "being".Therefore, one should be modest and not arrogant.

Sixth day: salty thumb.

"Xiang" said: "Cheng Qi's thumb", the ambition is outside.The "Yaoci" and "Xiaoxiang" in this hexagram are difficult to understand.The following lines are all metaphors based on the sensory parts of the human body. The "thumb" is the big toe.The initial induction comes from the big toe. "The sixth day" is at the bottom of the Xian hexagram, symbolizing the bottom big toe of the human body.

"The sixth day" corresponds to the "nine four" in the outer hexagram, and I want to pursue it.Although the big toe has already sensed it, it is still weak enough to move the whole body. If you want to move forward, you can’t move forward. Therefore, the sense of good and bad should wait for its development, and you should not take the initiative.

This line shows that the induction has begun, but not yet to the extent of active action.

Sixty-two: Salty Qifei, fierce, lucky.

"Elephant" said: Although "the evil is auspicious", it does not harm if it is smooth. "Philippines" is the calf.When a person walks, the calf moves first, followed by the feet.

"Junior Six" is the big toe, and the "Six Two" on the top is equivalent to the calf.When the induction is in the calf, if the calf wants to move, the foot will follow, and this will cause rash movement, which is dangerous.Fortunately, "Six Two" is soft and upright, and it is in the middle of the next hexagram. It is in the middle and upright, and lacks the ability to take the initiative, and will not act rashly, so it can be safe.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Obey the submissive nature, and there will be no harm. Although the "June [-]nd" corresponds to the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", it cannot be forced, and we should wait for the "Ninth Five-Year Plan".This line shows that although there is an induction, it should not be acted rashly or forcefully.

Ninety-three: Become its share, hold on to it, and be stingy.

"Xiang" said: "Salt its shares", and it is not right.The ambition is to "follow" people, and what you stick to.

"Nine three" is above the "six two" which is equivalent to the calf, which is equivalent to the thigh.The thigh follows the foot.There is also no active ability. When the lower toes and calf want to move, the thigh cannot move.However, "Nine Three" is masculine, assertive, and at the apex of the inner hexagram "Gen", the character is calm; therefore, it can wait for development without acting rashly.If you follow the "sixth day" and "sixth day" and act rashly, you will be humiliated.That is to say, one should not follow others blindly, one should have one's own opinion, so as not to be ashamed.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: The induction is in the thigh, and you should not move rashly, you should wait; if you follow others wholeheartedly, what you are attached to is too inferior.

This line shows that there should be opinions and not blind obedience.

Ninth Fourth: Zhenji regretted her death, kept in touch with each other, and thought about her friends.

"Xiang" said: "Zhenji regretted his death", and he did not feel harm. "Looking back and forth", Weiguangda also.

"Nine Four" is above the thigh of "Nine Three" and under the back of "Nine Five", in the middle of three consecutive Yang lines, which is equivalent to the heart.The heart is the most sensitive part of a person, and this line is also the main body of the Xian Gua.But why is there no description of the heart in the "Yao Ci"?Because the human heart is inherently unpredictable.

"Nine Fourth" Yang Yao Yin position is not correct, therefore, when the heart senses and reacts, it must be pure and pure to be auspicious, and it can eliminate the nature that is easy to regret.If you are restless, walk up and down.If you are indecisive, you will not be able to get the approval of the majority. Only a few friends will meet your ideas.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Adhere to the pure and auspicious, you can eliminate regrets, because it is not selfish desires that are induced in this way.Walking around, feeling restless, is because the heart is not open and aboveboard.Confucius extended this sentence in "Xi Ci Zhuan":
"What is the world thinking? What is it thinking? The world is returning to the same place, but taking different paths; the purpose is the same, but there are a hundred kinds of thinking. What is the world thinking? What is thinking? The sun has gone and the moon has come, and the moon has gone to the sun. Come, the sun and the moon pass each other, and light is produced. Winter goes, summer comes, summer goes, winter comes, cold and heat pass each other, and it becomes a year. Things in the past have shrunk, and things in the future are stretching, shrinking and stretching respond to each other , there will be benefits.”

That is to say, you can't have selfishness, as long as you get rid of selfishness, you can communicate with all things.The infinite communication between heaven and earth is entirely due to unintentional induction.

This line shows that if selfishness is eliminated and the heart is upright, there will be no hesitation.

Ninth Five-Year: Come to fruition, no regrets.

"Xiang" said: "Salty and self-consciousness", the end of Zhi. "Dark" is back meat. The "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is above the heart of the "Ninth Fourth Plan". "Shang Nine"

The lower part of the jaw, cheeks, and mouth is equivalent to the back meat.The back meat is behind the heart. When the back, feet, mouth, etc. all follow the commands of the heart, only the back meat is ignored; and because of the back, you can't see anything outside and you won't be tempted.Therefore, when the induction is in the back, the response is the slowest, or even no response.Such a solitary attitude of not being moved by external objects, of course, cannot communicate with the vast external world, but on the contrary, it will not have entanglements with the outside world, so I will not regret it.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: It is safe to live in the world with this attitude of being completely indifferent to foreign things; but relatively, it cannot move others, and the ambition is too small.

This line shows that if you are lonely, you cannot communicate with foreign objects.Upper Six: Cheng Qi Fu buccal tongue.

"Xiang" said: "Cheng Qifu, cheeks, tongue", Tengkou also said. "Auxiliary" is the auxiliary that the lips and teeth complement each other, that is, the jaw. The meaning of "Teng" and Teng is similar to "Kiss her cheek and tongue" in "Xiang Zhuan", and there are endless intimate words.

A Comprehensive Overview of Cheng Gua

[Meaning] The principle of induction - corresponding to the same sound, seeking the same gas.

【Gua Yi】communication, exchange, induction, kindness.

【Introduction】Salty means feeling and induction. Without spiritual communication, human social life cannot be established.The typical example of spiritual communication is the smallest unit of society, that is, husband and wife.The upper hexagram (Dui) of this hexagram represents a young woman, and the lower hexagram (Gen) represents a young man, which is the form of courtship in which a man bows to a woman's feet.Once young men and women come into contact, the spark of love bursts out.Feelings are the easiest to feel, so it expresses feeling. The principle of "salty" can pervade husband and wife, general society and even between heaven, earth and the universe.

[Heave meaning] The upper hexagram Dui is Ze for a girl, and the lower hexagram Gen is a mountain for a boy.It symbolizes that a boy modestly pursues a girl, makes the other party happy and moved with sincerity, and that men and women intersect and match each other, which is logical.Just like the natural induction between heaven and earth, all things are born.

[Structural pattern] Playing around with words, no regrets, no luck, right way auspicious, self-sufficient, auspicious living, a little feeling, salty (induction, marriage).

[Yin and Yang] Three yin and three yang, balance of yin and yang.

[Position] Yang is in the wrong position of Yin, and the second, third, fifth and sixth are all in the right position of Yin and Yang.

[Status] Upright virtue, good luck in marriage.

[Hexagram] Go up the lake and go down the mountain.It means that the water soaks into the soil in the mountains, and the water and soil communicate, moisten and sense, and everything grows from it.In addition, the upper hexagram Dui is a girl, and the lower hexagram Gen is a boy, and the girl and boy are combined (marriage and love) by mutual induction.

【Thinking mode】From the principle of the relationship between men and women to enlighten people, the following principles should be paid attention to in the communication of interpersonal relationships in society: (1) Open-minded and open-minded. (2) Let nature take its course, not force it. (3) Recognize the other party clearly and don't act rashly. (4) Treat with sincerity and integrity. (5) With righteousness in mind, proceed step by step.

[Philosophical Enlightenment] The mutual induction of all things in the world has its own laws.Just like man and woman intersect.From first love to marriage, there is a reasonable process of induction, as long as you interact with each other in a natural way, you will be naturally happy.

【Decision-Making Thinking】"Talk of the heart, one point of communication", the interpersonal relationship formed by spiritual communication is often the foundation of career success.In the face of work and career, we must seriously pay attention to connecting emotions and communicating with each other.Only by establishing a harmonious interpersonal relationship can the work go smoothly and the career prosper.In the face of marriage and life, one must be good at using emotion and wisdom to establish a stable, sincere and pure relationship.
