"Problem Solving"

The hexagram "Travel" is also called "Volcano Brigade".

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "The poor and big will lose their homes, so they will take it as a journey." If you have too many things, you can't let go, and if you have too many people, you have to go elsewhere to make a living, so the "Travel" hexagram follows closely. "Feng" hexagram comes.
