"Problem Solving"

The hexagram "Xiao Hu" is also called "Feng Tian Xiao Hu".

"Little animal" explains the principle that small becomes big, and less becomes more.After a dynasty has completed the unification, the next step is to allow the people to recuperate, so that wealth will slowly accumulate and life will become rich.Therefore, "Little Animal" closely follows the hexagram "Bi".

Prosperity depends on "recovering one's own way", "leading and recovering", and concentricity between husband and wife, but after being rich, one must "be rich with its neighbors" and lead everyone to get rich together, otherwise one's own prosperity will not be able to be maintained, just like a river If the reservoir is too full, the embankment may burst, and the flood must be diverted, and the water storage area must be expanded, so that the world can be peaceful.

There is also the problem of mentality. It is normal for farming to have regrets and gains, and doing business to have losses and gains. If you worry every day, you will definitely have no chance of success.

The author of "Little Animals" has a deep understanding of the way to become rich.

"original"

"Little Animal": Heng.Miyun does not rain, I am in the western suburbs.

Ninth day of the lunar month: What's the blame for recovering from the way?lucky.

Ninety-two: pull back, Kat.

Ninety-three: The public is separated from the radiation, and the husband and wife are against each other.

June [-]: You Fu, the blood goes out, there is no blame.

Ninth Five-Year: If you have a rich family, you will be rich with your neighbors.

Upper Nine: When it rains and where it is, the virtues are carried on, and the women are chaste and strict.A few months later, the gentleman will be vicious.

"Translation"

The hexagram "Little Animal" symbolizes slow savings: it will lead to prosperity.Dark clouds, not yet raining, drift slowly from the western suburbs of our city.

In the ninth line of the first day, if you keep practicing the way of getting rich that you have accumulated slowly, where will there be any disasters?auspicious.

Nine and two lines, holding hands together and saving slowly, is auspicious.

Nine and three lines, the car cannot move forward when the body and wheels are separated, and the family cannot prosper if the husband and wife take care of each other.

Sixth and fourth lines, with integrity, can eliminate fierce conflicts and mutual suspicions, and there will be no disasters.

Nine five lines, sincere cooperation, drive people around to get rich together.

On the ninth line, after the wind and rain, the river pool is full, and it must be owned by noble virtues, otherwise it is a stubborn (stingy) woman's view, which is dangerous.The moon has its fullness and its loss, and a gentleman only wants to make money (not want to lose), so there must be dangers.

"original"

"彖" said: "Little Animal", if the softness takes the position and responds to it from top to bottom, it is called "Little Animal".Healthy and Sunda, strong and ambitious, is "Heng". "Miyun does not rain", it is still the past. "Self in the western suburbs", Shi Weixing also.

"Translation"

"Xuan Ci" said: "The characteristic of "Little Animals" is that the feminine person is in a suitable position, and the five upper and lower Yang lines echo it, so that the accumulation of wealth can be completed little by little.It is the combination of Qian Gua and Xun Gua, which has both the vigor of Qian Gua and the neutrality of Xun Gua, plus unswerving efforts, so it can succeed.The so-called "clouds are thick, and it has not rained yet" means that we must continue to work hard and not give up.The so-called "floating slowly from the western suburbs of our city" means that the power has not yet unfolded.

"original"

"Elephant" said: "Fashion travels in the sky", "Little Animals".A gentleman uses Yi Wende. "Restore self-way", its meaning is "auspicious". "Pull back" is in the middle, and it is not self-losing. "Husband and wife have turned against each other", and they cannot be married. "There is Fu Ti out", Shanghe Zhi also. "There is a rich man like that", not only the rich. "Where it rains and where it is", "virtue" accumulates "carrying". "Gentlemen levy evil", there are some doubts.

"Translation"

"Xiang Ci" says: The wind blows the sky (cool and pleasant), which is the symbol of the hexagram "Little Animal".Therefore, the gentleman realizes that he should beautify his speech and appearance.

(Ninth day of the first day) "Continuously practice the way of getting rich by slowly accumulating", the behavior is appropriate, so it is auspicious.

(Ninth second line) "Holding hands together and slowly saving together" can increase the resultant force, and one's own will not necessarily decrease.

(Ninth third line) "A family where the husband and wife take care of each other cannot prosper", because they did not put themselves in the correct position.

([-]th line) "If you have integrity, you can eliminate mutual suspicion", it is for the unity of ambitions.

(Ninth Five Lines) "Cooperate with sincerity" means not enjoying wealth alone.

(Upper Nine Lines) "After the wind and rain, the river pond is full", this kind of possession can only be carried under the premise of "accumulating virtue". "A gentleman only wants to make money, so there must be dangers" because his mentality is unstable.
