Book of Changes

Chapter 25 Fu Gua No.20 IV
Shock up Kun
"Problem Solving"

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

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "Things can't be peeled off all the way. If they are poor, they will go up and down, so they will be restored." The extreme of stripping must be restored, and the cathode will be born, so the "Fu" hexagram closely follows the "Peeling" hexagram.The hexagram of November is also.

The reason why the "Fu" hexagram is prosperous is that the masculinity returns to rebirth, and the future is bright.But if you can't follow the natural "recovery" of the world, the yin and yang will not be able to switch smoothly.For the individual's body, it is prone to disease; for the society, it is suppressing talents; for the country, there will be "disasters". "Recovery" follows the law of a cycle of seven days. If you master this law, you can actively follow it.This is the study of image and number in the "Book of Changes", which has a very complicated set of details, but it also comes from ordinary daily experience, such as seven days a week, 72 climates a year, 70 years old should completely retire, etc., even "seven days Multiples of " are also meaningful.Of course, approximations are also possible.

"original"

"Recovery": Heng.There is no disease in going in and out, and there is no blame for friends coming.Repeat the same way, come back in seven days.Pros and cons.

Ninth day: Not far away, no regrets, Yuanji.

Sixty-two: Hugh, Kat.

Six three: frequent repetition, severe, no blame.

June [-]th: Bank of China alone.

Sixth Five-Year: Dunfu, no regrets.

Upper Six: Misfortune, inauspicious, and calamity.Use the master, and there will be a big defeat in the end.The king of the country is fierce, and he cannot be conquered for ten years.

"Translation"

The hexagram "Fu" symbolizes the resurrection of Yang Qi: prosperity.It is safe to go in and out, and it is harmless to make friends.It follows the law of repetition, with seven days (months, years) as a cycle.Good for getting to the destination.

On the ninth line of the first day, if you don’t go far, you will return (not more than seven), there will be no fundamental mistakes, and you will be lucky.

Sixty-two lines, returning to perfection, auspicious.

Sixth and third lines, frowning and returning, although there are troubles, there is no fault in the end.

Sixth and fourth line, walk in the middle, and return alone.

Sixth and fifth line, return steadily, without regret.

On the sixth line, the lost will not know where to go, it is dangerous, and there will be natural disasters and man-made disasters.If there is an army to fight, the result will be a big defeat.It is dangerous for the country to let such a person be the king, and it may even be incapacitated for ten years.

"original"

"彖" said: "Fu", "Heng", just reversed, moving and moving forward, so "going in and out without illness, and friends coming without blame". "Repeat the way, and come back in seven days", Tian Xing also. "There are benefits to come", just long. "Recovery", does it see the heart of heaven and earth?
"Translation"

"Zuci" said: "Fu" hexagram image, "prosperous", masculine cycles, endless exercise and follow the law, so "safety in and out, no harm in making friends." "It follows the law, taking seven days as a cycle", just like the movement of the sky. "Good for getting where you want to go" because of growing masculinity. Doesn't the image of the hexagrams in "Fu" show the inner nature of heaven and earth?
"original"

"Xiang" said: "Thunder is in the ground," "Fu".The first kings retreated until the day, and business travel was not enough, and later they did not know how to do it. The "recovery" of "not far away" is also for self-cultivation. The "auspiciousness" of "Xiu Fu" refers to the following benevolence. The "severe" in "frequently repeated" also means "no blame". "The Bank of China alone restores" means to follow the Tao. "Dunfu has no regrets" is also a self-examination in China and Israel. The "fierce" of "Mifu" is also anti-monarchy.

"Translation"

"Xiang Ci" says: Thunder hides underground, this is the image of the hexagram in "Fu".The previous emperors realized something from this. On the day of the winter solstice, they retreated and recuperated. Merchants and tourists did not go out for the time being, and the kings did not go out to inspect various places for the time being.

(The ninth line of the first day) The so-called "return" of "not going far" is for self-cultivation.

([-] yao) The so-called "auspiciousness" of "returning after consummation" is because it gave way to a sage.

([-]rd line) The so-called "trouble" of "returning with a frown" is "no fault in the end" in principle.

([-]th line) "Walk in the middle and return alone", which means that he followed the right way.

(Six and five lines) "Return steadily, without regret", because it has passed the self-examination of Zhongzheng Dao.

(Upper Sixth Line) The so-called "dangerous" of "lost without knowing where to go" means that he has violated (like the sky) the way of being a king.
