Book of Changes

Chapter 17 Yu Gua No.16

Lower Kun and Upper Shock
"Problem Solving"

The hexagram "Yu" is also called "Lei Di Yu".

Yu, He Le also. "September [-]th" has one yang as the body, and its aspirations can be carried out, and the upper and lower five yins all respond to it, moving along with it, and the image of harmony and joy.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "If you are big and able to be modest, you are Cong Yu, so you are called "Yu"." Wealthy and modest, of course happy, so the hexagram "Qian" is the hexagram "Yu".

Yu, the most important thing is to bring happiness to everyone, not to be complacent, otherwise "regrets" will follow one after another. "Book of Rites·Qu Li [-]": "You can't be full of ambition, and you can't be extremely happy", "Mencius·Gao Zi [-]": "Be born in sorrow, die in peace", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "Autumn Wind Song": "Extremely joyful and sorrowful" Many", Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower": "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later", all of which are excellent interpretations of the hexagrams of "Yu".

"original"

"Yu": Li Jianhou Xingshi.

Sixth day: Mingyu, fierce.

Sixty-two: Between stones, not all day long, Zhenji.

Six three: Xuyu, regret.Too late to regret.

Ninety-four: Youyu, you will gain a lot.Do not doubt, friends hairpin.

Sixth Five-Year: Chastity disease, permanent immortality.

Upper Six: Ming Yu, Cheng Yuyu, No Blame.

"Translation"

The hexagram "Yu" symbolizes leisure and contentment: it is beneficial to establish the feudal achievements of the princes and raise troops to fight.

The sixth line of the first day, self-satisfied, will bring danger (extreme joy begets sorrow).

Sixth line, as steadfast as a stone, warns oneself every day not to indulge in ease, keep upright and not tilted, and you will get auspiciousness.

Sixth and third lines, flattering and flattering are still leisurely, but one day they will regret it.Regrets that come later will lead to more regrets.

In the ninety-fourth line, if you give (everyone) happiness, you will gain a lot.Friends will undoubtedly want to be with you.

Sixth and fifth lines, if you correct your mistakes in time, you will be in an invincible position forever.

On the sixth line, drunkenness, dreaming and death, coveting comfort, and correcting before making a big mistake, there will be no disaster.

"original"

"Yuan" said: "Yu", just respond to the will and act, follow the movement, Yu. "Yu" moves smoothly, so the heaven and the earth are like it, let alone "Jianhou Xingshi"!The heaven and the earth move smoothly, so the sun and the moon do not pass, but the four seasons do not.If the saint moves smoothly, the punishment will be clear and the people will obey. The meaning of "Yu" is great!
"Translation"

"Tuan Ci" says: "Yu" hexagram symbolizes masculinity is matched with femininity, and ambition is realized. This is a kind of moving with the times, so it is leisurely and content. The hexagram of "Yu" shows the function of moving with the times, and the same is true for the movement of heaven and earth, (everything can be realized smoothly), not to mention "establishing the achievements of the princes and raising troops to fight"!If the heaven and the earth move with the times, the sun and the moon will run correctly, and the four seasons will evolve correctly.If the sage moves with the times, the punishment will be just and the people will be sincerely convinced. The tenses of the hexagram "Yu" are so rich!

"original"

"Elephant" said: "Thunder comes out of the ground to frighten", "Yu".The ancient kings worshiped morality with music, and Yin recommended God to match the ancestors. "On the sixth day, Mingyu", Zhiqiong is also "fierce". "Not all day long, Zhenji", it is also true for Zhongzheng. "Xuyu" has "regret", which is inappropriate. "You can gain a lot from Yuyu", which means great aspirations. "Sixth Five-Year, Zhenji", Cheng Gang also; "Mingyu" is above, how can it grow!

"Translation"

"Xiang Ci" says: Thunder comes out of the ground and invigorates all things. This is the image of the hexagram "Yu".From this, the previous kings realized that creating music and advocating the rule of virtue sincerely hoped to use this to pass on to the Emperor of Heaven (and obtain blessings) and to expand the foundation created by their ancestors.

"The sixth line of the first day is self-satisfied", and there is no pursuit, so it is "dangerous".

(Six-two line) "Warn yourself every day not to indulge in ease, keep upright and not slanted, and you will get auspiciousness", the reason is to stick to the way of Zhongzheng.

([-]rd line) "Flaty and flattery are still leisurely and contented, but one day they will regret it", because this kind of person has not put his life in the right position.

(Ninth Four Lines) "Give (everyone) happiness, and you will gain a lot", which means that one's ambition has more opportunities to realize it.

"Six and five lines, correct mistakes in a timely manner" relies on masculine assistance; the basis of "always invincible" lies in the fact that the principled stand of being neutral has never disappeared.

(Upper Sixth Line) "Drunkenness, dreaming of death, greed for ease" and wanting to be in the top position, how can it last for a long time?
