China's anti-Japanese painting history quoted Jiang Baili's Japanese as saying that "Confucius made a deal and finally failed". What does this sentence mean?

Confucius made a change, but in the end he failed. The superficial meaning of this sentence is that Confucius sorted out the Book of Changes and put "unprofitable" in the last hexagram. Ultimate means that the ultimate thing is unfinished. Who's Jiang Baili? Liang Qichao's favorite pupil, Qian Xuesen's father-in-law. Scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, President of the Republic of China. General's army, Yuan Shikai's staff, and Li's adviser. Jiang Baili said that the Japanese army is strong, but rampant. When Jiang Baili died, it was the second year of Japanese full-scale invasion of China. He said that the strength of the Japanese army is rare, and the strength of the Japanese navy is also rare. They are together, not far from death, because they can't put out such a strong fire. And what is "bad"? Divination for the Poor is the last divination in the Book of Changes and the 64th divination among the 8864 divinations.

Without a divination, going up from the next hurdle means getting angry and getting into the water. As for the meaning, at first glance, "water didn't put out the fire" is actually fire and water, and the fire is above the water. Fire and water can't intersect, cooking can't be done, and things can't be done. In addition, all the hexagrams (that is, the coarse hexagrams) are wrong, the singular number 1, 3,5 is yang, and the hexagrams 1, 3,5 are yin (two paragraphs); 2, 4 and 6 are yin, and the poor 2, 4 and 6 are all yang. So it seems to be a metaphor for being in a dilemma. The reason why things can't be done is mostly because they have ulterior motives. I think that's what Jiang Baili said in Japanese. Sixty-four hexagrams, the last one, seems to be "Ji Ji", but it ranks "Ji Ji" in the sixty-third place and "misfortune" in the sixty-fourth place. This is not melodramatic. This is a fact. A person, a country has done things to the extreme, and there must be more unfinished things to meet Ta. There is success, but you can't be poor.
