Morning Reading Notes: Four Diagrams of the Book of Changes (4-6)

[Words] June 4th: I am sleepy and stingy.

[Xiang Chuan] Xiang Yue: Trapped, stingy, you are far away from reality.

[Notes]

(1) sleepy, stingy: sleepy, troubled; Tragic and difficult. "Trapped" should mean "trapped", confused by ignorance.

(2) Characteristic reality: reality refers to Yang, Yang is reality, and Yin is deficiency. Because "June 4th" itself is a sinister plot, which is far from "September 2nd" and "Shanghai 9th", it is said that "independence is far from reality".

[reference]

June 4th: People who are troubled by ignorance will encounter disaster.

A legend says that "people are troubled by ignorance" because they are isolated from the world and divorced from the real society.

[Interpretation]

In the six places and two shades, there is ignorance from top to bottom; Without correct response, close comparison and dependence, there is no way to do anything, and it will be difficult to be troubled by ignorance, so it is called "being trapped and stingy".

Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity are the traditional ideas in ancient China. In this hexagram, Shi Yang's stubbornness refers to the teacher, while Yin deficiency's stubbornness refers to the child. Children without knowledge are empty, so we should learn modestly and develop wisdom. If you stay away from Master and don't take the initiative to approach, you will fall into ignorance. June 4th refers to such people.
