Chapter 29 Big Guo Hexagram No.20 Eight

Xia Sunda Shang Dui
"Problem Solving"

The hexagram "Daguo" is also called "Zefeng Daguo".

Big, Yang also.The four yangs are in the middle, and the yang exceeds the image of prosperity, so it is called Daguo.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "If you don't nourish it, you can't move it, so it's a big mistake to accept it." If you don't follow the rules of health preservation, your body will fail, you won't be able to move, it will be dangerous, and it may be broken-"big mistake".Therefore, the hexagram "Daguo" closely follows the hexagram "Yi".

Facing "big mistakes", such as being under a dilapidated house, people should be vigilant at this time, but there may still be things that they can't let go of that make people reluctant to leave the "dangerous house". The principle put forward by the hexagram "Daguo" is to put on the white grass and leave with your most sacred thing (good character).Even if there is a "big river" blocking the way in front of you, you must bravely rush over, and once you rush over, there will be another piece of sky.

Avoid danger and avoid danger, and walk your own path. The warnings in "Big Mistakes" are not just for "old men" and "old women".

"original"

"Big Mistakes": Buildings are far away, there are profits and fortunes, and prosperity.

Sixth day: Borrowing Imperata, no blame.

Ninety-two: Withered poplars grow ladders, and the old man gets his daughter-in-law, there is no disadvantage.

Ninth Three: Tung Wai, fierce.

Ninety-four: Donglong, Kat.There it is, stingy.

Ninth Five-Year: Withered poplars give birth to flowers, the old woman gets her husband, without blame or reputation.

Upper Six: Going over and destroying the top, fierce, no blame.

"Translation"

The hexagram "Daguo" symbolizes danger and avoidance: if the main beam is bent, it is better to go elsewhere and have a prosperous future.

In the sixth line of the first day, there is no fault in using white thatch as a cushion for sacrifices.

In the second line of the ninth line, the old poplar tree sprouts new shoots, and there is no disadvantage for an old man marrying a young wife.

Nine and three lines, the main beam is bent, dangerous.

Nine and four lines, the main beam is tall and straight, auspicious.It would be a pity if there were other changes.

In the ninth and fifth lines, the withered poplar tree bloomed again, and the old woman was married to a young husband.

On the sixth line, wading across the river, flooding the roof, although dangerous, there is no fault.

"original"

"彖" said: "Big Over", the big one is also over. "Dongzhi" is weak at the end, just passing through.Xun said to do it, "there is a lot of profit", which is "prosperous". The time of "Big Overcome" is too great!

"Translation"

"Zi Ci" said: "The image of "Da Guo" shows that the most important part is not in balance. "The main beam is bent" because the two ends are too thin and the middle is too rough.Fortunately, the hexagram also shows the virtues of obedience and harmony, so it is "suitable to go elsewhere", so "the future is prosperous".It is really important to grasp the tense of "The Great Overcome"!

"original"

"Elephant" says: Ze kills wood, "Great Overcome".A gentleman is independent and fearless, and escapes the world without boredom. "Natives use Imperatae", softness is also the bottom. "Old husband, female wife", it's too easy to get along with each other. The "fierce" of "Dongzhi" cannot be supplemented. The "auspiciousness" of "Donglong" is not far behind. "A withered poplar grows flowers", how long can it last; "an old woman, a gentleman" can also be ugly. The "fierceness" of "excessive involvement" cannot be blamed.

"Translation"

"Xiang Ci" said: The big lake flooded the treetops, which is the image of "Great Overcome".From this, the gentleman realizes that he must be independent and not afraid (mud and muddy water), and he can be leisurely without boredom even if he leaves his job and lives in seclusion.

(The sixth line of the first day) "Using white thatch as a cushion for sacrifices" means that the softness is at the bottom (the sacrifices can be well protected).

(Ninth second line) "Old man, young wife" means that this is a marriage of improper age.

(Ninth third line) The so-called "dangerous" in "the main beam is bent" means that there is no way to use other wood as a supporting lining.

(Ninth and fourth line) The so-called "auspiciousness" of "the main beam is tall and straight" means that it will not endanger the lower part.

(Ninth and fifth line) "The old poplar tree blooms again", how can it last for a long time? "Old woman, young husband" is really shameful.

(Upper Sixth Line) The "danger" experienced in "wading across the river" is not a fault that needs to be investigated.
