"Problem Solving"

The hexagram in "Dun" is called "Tianshan Dun".

To flee, to escape.Two, yin soaks long, and yang should be avoided, so it is called escape.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "Things cannot stay in their place for a long time, so they are escaped." In the current expression, the system can have "permanence", but the "thing" elements in the system cannot have "permanence". Because the system relationship is better than the system elements, the elements are converted with the transformation of the relationship, and every time the system reaches a new level, all the elements in it will change their value and rearrange accordingly.Elements exist in response to system relationships (structure).Elements cannot change the structure, only change themselves - they cannot stay in their place for a long time, especially in an official position for a long time.This is the inner meaning of the "Dun" hexagram following the "Heng" hexagram.

Ouyang Xiu said: "Those who escape, see it first." ("Yi Tongzi Wen") At all times and in all over the world, people who retreat too late have become the protagonists of tragedy, but there are still many people who "do not escape", " "Before you see it" doesn't necessarily mean you can do it. Therefore, the hexagram "Dun" has continued to have modern significance.

"original"

"Escape": Heng, Xiao Lizhen.

The sixth day of the lunar new year: Dunwei, severe; don't use you to go.

Sixty-two: The leather of yellow cattle is used for persistence, Mo Zhisheng said.

Nine three: Department of escape, severe disease.Animal ministers and concubines, Ji.

Nine Fourth: Easy to escape, good for a gentleman, bad for a villain.

Ninth Five: Jiadun, Zhenji.

Upper Nine: Fat escape, no disadvantages.

"Translation"

The hexagram "Dun" symbolizes avoidance: prosperity, not being "big" is beneficial to maintaining integrity.

On the sixth line of the first day, it will be very dangerous to be the last one to retreat; it is impossible to continue walking.

The sixth and second lines are bound by yellow leather ropes (power field), and it is difficult to get rid of them.

Nine and three lines, being restrained and difficult to escape, is like being entangled in disease and dangerous. (The way to escape in this case is to "concentrate") It is auspicious to keep servants and concubines.

The ninety-fourth line, retreating safely, is considered auspicious by gentlemen, but unacceptable by villains.

Nine and five lines, you will retire after success.The original intention remains unchanged, auspicious.

Going up the Nine Lines, retreating in a very timely manner, without any disadvantages.

"original"

"彖" says: "Dun" means "Heng", and "Dun" means "Heng".Just when you are in office, you should be in line with the times. "Xiao Lizhen" is soaked and long. The meaning of "Escape" is great!
"Translation"

"Tuan Ci" said: "The image of the hexagram in "Dun" is "prosperous", and it should be retreated as soon as it is due, so it is "prosperous".Masculinity is in place, and it is also echoed by femininity, but these are all time-sensitive behaviors. "It is not for the sake of 'big' to maintain integrity", but changes are gradually formed. The connotation of the hexagram tense in "Dun" is really rich!

"original"

"Elephant" says: There are mountains in the world, "Dun".A gentleman is far from a villain, and he is strict without being evil. If the "severe" of "dunwei" does not go, what disaster will happen? "Practice the scalper", solid will also. The "severe" in "Xi Dun" means illness and exhaustion;A gentleman is "easy to escape", but a "little man is not". "Jiadun, Zhenji" means Zhengzhi. "Fat escape, no disadvantages", no doubts.

"Translation"

"Xiang Ci" says that the sky is far away from the mountains, which is the image of the hexagram "Dun".From this, the gentleman realizes that he should stay away from the villain, and his attitude does not seem to be disgusting, but rather arrogant.

(The sixth line of the first day) "The last retreat" is "dangerous", but if you don't choose the last retreat, how can there be disasters?

([-]-[-] line) "Bound by a yellow leather rope", what is bound to death is his ambition to "escape".

(Ninth third line) The "danger" of "being restrained and difficult to escape" is like a long-term illness that makes people exhausted. "Keeping servants and concubines is auspicious", because in this way, others will no longer pin their hopes of "big things" on themselves.

(Ninth and fourth lines) It means that a gentleman can accept "retire in peace and security", but "a villain cannot accept it".

(Ninth Five Lines) "Retiring after successful achievement, without changing the original intention, auspicious" means that his ambition of "escaping" has been maintained.

(Upper Nine Lines) "Retired in a very timely manner, without any disadvantage", which means that he did not hesitate at all.
