Chapter 58 Xun Hexagram Seven
Xia Sunda Shang Sunda
"Problem Solving"

The hexagram "Xun" is also called "Xun is the wind".

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "There is no place to travel, so I accept it." Passengers can't find a hotel, so they have to find a place to stay. This is a common thing during travel. , so the hexagram "Xun" closely follows the hexagram "Lv". The general meaning of "Xun" is Suishun.

However, what the hexagrams and lines talk about is not "nowhere to live", but "nowhere to live".Talk about a "lost soul" person who "asked God" many times in an attempt to drive away the bad luck.The first time "inviting God" can be called auspicious (nine-two lines), and the second time is "bad" (upper nine lines), because you don't believe it at all, if you believe, then the "god" invited for the first time And who sent it away?

If there is no ghost in your heart, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door; if you have no spirit in your heart, others will not be able to invite you.An eminent monk saw a person falling into the water and did not help him. Others blamed him for neglecting to save him.He said, "It's the third time I've saved him. I can save him, but he'll drown himself again. If he's determined to drown himself, he'll find another river and another time to drown." Myself. Unless he wants to live, I will not save him again." Another man fell into the sea and prayed: "God, if you are Almighty, come and save me!" A life buoy floated When he came over, he continued to pray: "God, if you are the Almighty Lord, come and save me!" A big tree floated over, and he was still praying: "God, if you are the Almighty Lord, come and save me!" Come out and save me!" As a result, he died and finally saw God. He asked God why he didn't save him, and God said, "Didn't I save you? What is the life-saving picture floating past you?" ? What is the big wood?" These two fables say that everyone's strength lies in ourselves, and the sense of mission in life is only given to ourselves, and so is the meaning of life.It is not God who saves you, only yourself who saves you.

Du Fu's "Happy Rain on a Spring Night": "Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently." This is the most vivid explanation of the meaning of "shun".

Everything that can be "smooth" can "enter".

"original"

"Xun": Xiaoheng; there are benefits to go, and benefits to see adults.

Sixth day: Advance and retreat, benefit the chastity of Wu people.

Ninety-two: Sunda is under the bed, and there are many witches and witches in history, auspicious, no blame.

Nine three: frequent Sunda, stingy.

June [-]th: Regret for death.Tian won the third rank.

Ninth Five: Zhenji, regret death, no disadvantages; no beginning and no end.First Geng three days, then Geng three days, auspicious.

Upper Nine: Xun is under the bed, losing his capital axe, chaste and vicious.

"Translation"

The hexagram "Xun" symbolizes obedience: starting small can lead to prosperity.Seek help from "adults".

On the sixth line of the first day, advance and retreat are uncertain, which is only beneficial for warriors to maintain the right way.

Nine and two lines, I was so scared that I got under the bed, and invited Zhu Shi and Wu Ji to make a fuss, auspicious (the knot in my heart was relieved), and there was no disaster.

In the third line of the ninth line, you will be reluctant to obey with a sad face, which will bring trouble.

Sixty-four lines, remorse disappears.Hunting is rewarding.

The ninety-five line, keeping upright and auspicious, remorse disappears, and there is no disadvantage; although the beginning is not good, the ending is quite satisfactory. (The activity of asking God to exorcise evil spirits should) be arranged on the fourth and tenth days of this ten days, which is auspicious.

Going up to the ninth line, (if you always) get under the bed in fright, you will lose all your money, and it has always been like this, which is dangerous.

"original"

"Yuan" said: "Emphasis on Sunda to affirm destiny."Rigidity and obedience correspond to Zhongzheng and aspirations, and softness corresponds to rigidity. Therefore, "Xiaoheng, there is a lot of profit, and it is beneficial to the adults."

"Translation"

"Tuan Ci" said: The overlapping of the two Xun hexagrams is to emphasize the willingness to follow the rules.Masculinity is seen in action according to the neutrality, and femininity is consistent with masculinity, so it is said that "starting small can lead to prosperity. If you want to gain something, seek the help of 'adults'."

"original"

"Xiang" says: Suifeng, "Xun".A gentleman acts according to his orders. "Advance and retreat" means ambition and doubt; "Liwu people's chastity" means ambition. The "auspiciousness" of "variety" is also in the middle. The "stinginess" of "Frequency Sunda" means poor ambition. "Tian Huo Sanpin" is meritorious. The "auspicious" of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is right in the middle. "Xun is under the bed" is poor;

"Translation"

"Xiang Ci" says: "Follow the wind and enter, this is the image of the hexagram "Xun".From this, the gentleman realized that the starting point of governance should be widely publicized.

(The sixth line of the first day) "Advance and retreat are uncertain" means that the mind is hesitant; "it is beneficial for warriors to maintain the right way" means that their minds have been trained to be firm.

(Ninth second line) The so-called "auspiciousness" of "making a lot of trouble" is because you have obtained the middle way.

(Ninth third line) The "trouble" that "reluctantly obeys with a sad face" means that he no longer knows what to do.

([-]th line) "Hunting yields a lot" means that he has made great achievements.

The so-called "auspiciousness" of "Nine Five Lines" is because it is in the middle.

(Upper Nine Lines) "(always) getting under the bed in fright" means that there is no way out in the end; "money is lost", of course only "dangerous" remains.
