Appreciation and annotation of the original text of The Complete Works of Zhouyi.

No.13 colleague

Notes on the title or background of a book.

The divination of the same person is different and overlapping (from bottom to top). This stubborn for dry, dry for the sky, for the king; The next divination is separation, separation is fire, and it is for people to see. This kind of divination proves that the king is above, the subjects are below, the king gives orders and the subjects support the king. On the human fire, it means that the king is condescending, insightful about the people's feelings, and all his actions are decent and recognized by his subjects, so divination is called a colleague. Explain the principle of harmony with the divination of the same person. No, I finally came to Thailand. However, the great world of peace will not appear out of thin air, and it still needs to be actively pursued. We should get rid of the private opinions of one family, attach importance to consistency and ignore nuances. Only in the spirit of selflessness, based on morality and seeking common ground while reserving differences, can the ideal of a world of great harmony be realized. Justice will bring evil to its knees, but obstacles must be boldly removed. Only by sacrificing the ego can we complete the ego, as the saying goes, "first suffer, then be sweet." However, to live in harmony with others, we must be positive and unavoidable. It's not good to go along with the flow, and narcissism is not commendable.

Fan Gua: People gather in the suburbs, which is auspicious. It is beneficial to wade across the river and ask a gentleman for advice.

analyse

Before something big happens, people will get together and discuss it. Obviously, people's hearts are United. To achieve the goal of * * *, we must make great achievements in Qixin with Qi Xin's concerted efforts. At the same time, it also shows that only things that conform to the wishes of the people can win the trust and support of the people.

original text

"Xun" said: the same person, should be gentle [2], said the same person. As the saying goes, "Let's advance together in the wild, prosper together and benefit from great rivers" to do this [3]. Civilization should be healthy and upright, a gentleman is just, and only a gentleman is the ambition to know the world.

"Haiku" said: the same person, the middle six hexagrams and two hexagrams, just as the subjects are loyal to the king, this is the divination of the same person. The same person said, "It is auspicious for people to gather in the suburbs, which is conducive to wading across the river." This is because it meets the standards of kings. This hexagram is a symbol of civilization and vitality. The ninth five-year plan is in the middle of the upper plan and the sixth two-year plan is in the middle of the lower plan, which should be consistent. This shows that a gentleman is aboveboard, neutral in nature, and takes the right path as the principle to unite people's hearts.

analyse

The king is broad-minded, conforms to heaven, and realizes world harmony by realizing people's common aspirations. Only in this way can we gain the trust and support of the people and have a good situation of political integrity and harmony.

original text

"Elephant" said: Heaven and fire are the same person. Gentlemen distinguish things by race [4].

To annotate ...

[4] Class: analysis, differences. Race: race, diversity.

translate

"Xiangci" said: the same person divines, the upper divination is the king of heaven, the lower divination is the minister of fire, and the upper divination is the love of the monarch, and the minister gives up the love, and the monarch and the minister will make peace. This is the same person's divination. When a gentleman looks at this hexagram, he understands that birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups, so he can distinguish people by category.

analyse

People are divided into groups. Kings and subjects should put aside personal selfishness, focus on world events, seek common ground while reserving differences, and work together for the development of Qi and Xin. Only in this way can the country prosper and the people be stable and happy.

Day 9: Same door [5], no blame. "Xiang" said: Who is to blame for going out as a "fellow villager"?

To annotate ...

[5] Door: Wangmen.

translate

Day 9: As soon as a gentleman walks out of the king's gate, he needs someone to walk at the same time. There is no harm. "Xiang Ci" said: How can a "gentleman" who walks out of the king's door suffer disaster?

analyse

In order to govern the country well, the king should communicate with the people in time, understand their sufferings, and improve his own strategy of governing the country. At the same time, the people should also inform the king of the real situation in time. Only in this way can the king govern the country well. The ideal of strengthening the country and enriching the people can only be realized through the concerted efforts of monarch, minister and Qi Xin.

Sixty-two: the same person Yu Zong [6], stingy. "Xiang" said: "The same person is in the Sect", stingy [7].

To annotate ...

[6] Zong: Zongmiao.

[7] stingy: narrow.

translate

Sixty-two: The ancestral temple gathers the same people because they are faced with difficult things. Xiang Ci says: "Gather the ancestral halls and share the same clan", which is a narrow patriarchal norm.

analyse

Gathering people in the ancestral temple to unify their thoughts shows that the rulers are narrow-minded and the real development and growth should be the common development of all the people. If only a few people benefit from it, the whole country will not only get no benefit, but also tend to decline. Only by eliminating narrow concepts and getting rid of ignorant prejudice can we achieve common development.

Jiusan: hibiscus is in the wild [8], rising to the mausoleum, and not prosperous at the age of three [9]. "Xiang" said: "Lotus is rough" and the enemy is just. "Three years old", Ann [10] will do.

To annotate ...

[8] v: ambush. Rong: Armed. Mang: thick grass and dense forest.

[9] Xing: Rise.

Ann: No way.

93: The army hid in the deep forests and occupied the commanding heights, but it could not win for a long time. Xiang Ci said: "Tibetan troops are in the mountains" because the enemy is too strong. If you can't win for a long time, how can you make a difference?

analyse

In the face of powerful enemies, no United army can act rashly. Since there is a great disparity between the enemy and ourselves, we should be good at preserving our own strength.

original text

Ninety-four: take its mound [1 1], Foucault attack, Kyrgyzstan. "Elephant" said, "Use it." Yvonne also said. Its "good luck" is also difficult.

To annotate ...

[1 1] Multiply: Deng. Yong: the city wall.

translate

94: occupied the enemy's wall, the city has not been completely captured, Geely. Xiang Ci said: "Occupy the enemy wall", morally speaking, we should stop attacking the city. It is "auspicious" to continue the attack because the trapped enemy may strike back at any time.

analyse

94 belongs to the strong, no, it is as violent as 93, and does not correspond to the ninth day. It also wants to be close to the shade of 62, but it is separated by 93 like a wall. So, 94 attacked the wall. However, 94 belongs to the position of yin and yang. Although he has a bad temper, he is self-aware and can realize his improper behavior. So Zhan Duan is still auspicious. This shows that when the war is about to win, we should continue to persist even if we encounter difficulties, because justice will eventually overcome evil.

original text

Ninth Five-Year Plan: The same person howls first [12] and then laughs, and the master will meet later. "Xiang" said: the "first" of the same person is also straight. When the "hosts" meet, they talk to each other.

To annotate ...

[12] Wail (táo): Wail.

translate

Ninth Five-Year Plan: The assembled soldiers cried first, then laughed. Thanks to the timely assistance of the powerful division, they won a great victory in this battle. Xiang Ci said: The reason why the assembled soldiers "cry first and then laugh" is to save the day, just like an upright person, he will inevitably turn evil into good. The combination of "heroes" means that the strength of our army has overwhelmed the enemy.

analyse

Soldiers who cry together will cry anxiously because they care about the victory of the war. They United as one and finally defeated the enemy and turned the corner. This shows that when the crisis comes, we must unite to win, and finally enjoy the happiness of suffering first and then sweet.

original text

Shangjiu: I am in the suburbs [13] and have no regrets [14]. "Xiang" said: "The same person is in the suburbs", and the ambition has not been achieved.

To annotate ...

[13] fellow villagers in the suburbs: gather people to sacrifice to the gods. Congratulations on your success.

[14] regret: regret.

translate

Shangjiu: Everyone gathered in the suburbs to worship the gods and celebrate the victory. Naturally, there is no fault. Xiang Ci said: "All people gather in the suburbs", indicating that the ambition has not been realized.

analyse

The king called on all the people to gather and make sacrifices to the gods to celebrate the victory. This is for the benefit of the people and fully conforms to the wishes of the people. Therefore, the king will naturally win the support of the people. Although we haven't achieved great harmony in the world, as long as we in Qi Xin and Qi Xin work together, the beautiful ideal will eventually become a living reality.
