Please ask a master of Zhouyi to help me find out what my aunt is shaking, and how to explain it?

Xia Li Shang Kun, Ming Yi Gua

Earth fire Ming Yi - middle and lower; sun enters the ground ["Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge" When I was unlucky and couldn't walk, I hurriedly crossed the river and demolished the bridge. A benefactor is unrighteous but resentful, all work is in vain, and the work is in vain. "Seeing the injury clearly" Crossing the river and burning the bridge will hurt, trading and traveling will bring disaster, seeking hope, wealth, waste, labor, marriage and partnership are not commensurate]. . . Punishment injury, light inside and darkness outside, danger in progress, disaster to siblings, light entering the ground, inner wisdom, tolerant appearance, unknown, light destroyed//

The hexagram of the phoenix hanging wings is the symbol of going out of light and into darkness.

The judgment says: Those who understand Yi will be injured. Fire penetrates into the ground and covers the bright virtues. When a gentleman is in trouble, he will not eat for three days. King Wen's difficulty was caused by thorns. Baifan's hopes should be stopped.

Ming Yi: Li is difficult and honest. Tuan said: When the Ming Dynasty enters the earth, it will be Ming Yi. To be civilized on the inside and pliable on the outside, in order to withstand great disasters, King Wen used it. Harnessing hardship and chastity obscures its clarity. If internal difficulties can correct one's ambition, Jizi can use it.

Xiang said: When the light enters the earth, it reveals the barbarians; when a gentleman gathers the crowd, he uses obscurity to make it clear.

Original text Mingyi ①: Li Dijun Zhen.

Translation Ming Yi Gua: If you ask difficult questions, it will be beneficial.

Notes ① Ming Yi, the name of the hexagram. This hexagram is a superposition of different hexagrams (LiXiaKunShang). The upper hexagram is Kun, and Kun is the earth; the lower hexagram is Li, and Li is the sun. The upwards and downwards are separated, which is the image of the sun sinking into the earth. The sun is gone, the sky and the earth are dark, and the future is unpredictable. It means that a gentleman is in a difficult situation. He must not only stay upright, but also obey the times and keep a low profile. Therefore, the hexagram is called Ming Yi. Yi, "Guang Ya. Interpretation": "Yi means destruction." Ming Yi means that the sun retreats.

Original text "彖" says: Ming enters the earth, Ming Yi. Internally civilized and pliable ①, in order to withstand great disasters, King Wen used it. "Hardness and chastity" ② obscure its meaning. If you can correct your ambition ③ due to internal difficulties, Ji Zi can use it ④.

Translation "Yun Ci" says: The inner hexagram of Ming Yi is Li, and Li is the sun; the outer hexagram is Kun, and Kun is the earth. The sun disappears in the earth, which is the hexagram image of Ming Yi. Li means civilization and Kun means submissiveness, but Mingyi's character is civilized on the inside and submissive on the outside. King Wen of Zhou upheld the virtue of light internally and the gentle way externally. He divided the world into two parts, but he still served Yin and suffered the humiliation of Youli, which is similar to the hexagram of Mingyi. "In the midst of difficulties, staying steadfast and upright will eventually be beneficial." Just like the sun disappears into the earth, dimming its light, but it will eventually emerge with its brightness. Ji Zi upholds the virtue of light inside, but is still able to stick to the right path in a difficult situation outside, and will remain unswerving until death, which is similar to the hexagram of Ming Yi

.

Notes ① In the sentence "Inner Civilization", the inner hexagram of this hexagram is Li, and the meaning of Li is civilization; the outer hexagram is Kun, and the nature of Kun is supple. This is not only the meaning of Ming Yi's hexagram, but also a metaphor for the character of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. ② "Yun Ci" explains "profit" as auspicious, "difficulty" as difficulty, and "zhen" as steadfastness. ③Inner difficulty, inner, refers to the essence and inner virtue. Difficulty refers to hardship and external environment. ④Two "Yizhi", "Explanation": "Yizhi, Zheng, Gou, and Xiang all made similar works."

The original text "Xiang" said: Ming entered the earth ①, Ming Yi. A gentleman uses obscurity to make it clear when he comes to the public.

The translation "Xiangci" says: The inner hexagram of this hexagram is Li, Li is the sun, the outer hexagram is Kun, and Kun is the earth. The sun sinks into the earth, which is the hexagram of Ming Yi. When a gentleman observes this hexagram and governs the people and government, he does not regard strict observation as a sign of wisdom. Instead, he is foolish on the outside and wise on the inside.

Notes ① When the sun shines into the earth and the sun sets in the west, the ancients believed that it was hidden in the earth. Its light does not appear outside but exists in the earth. Taking this image of darkness on the outside and brightness on the inside, there is " There is a saying that "the public uses it obscurely but makes it clear".

Original text

On the ninth day of the lunar month: "The wise barbarians fly and droop their wings. The gentleman walks and does not eat for three days①." If you are going somewhere, the master has something to say②.

"Xiang" said: A gentleman does not eat his righteousness.

Translation

On the ninth day of the lunar month: "The pelican is flying and resting on the bank of the swamp. A gentleman leaves home and has no food for three days." When Xiao meets this line, he has something to go to. It will be condemned by the master.

"Xiang Ci" says: A gentleman cannot eat in shame when traveling according to etiquette and justice.

Notes

①The four sentences "Ming Yi Yu Fei" are quotations from poems. Three of the sentences are four words, and "hanging its wings" should not be missing a single word. There is the word "zuo" on the wing of the Han silk book "Book of Changes", so we should follow it. Ming, borrowed as Ming. Yi, borrowed as Ying, means Ming Ying. The sound of the 麺 is falsely called pelican, and the singing pelican is the calling pelican. Pelican, a kind of water bird, is commonly known as Taohe. (Mr. Caisha Shaohai said) ②Speech, condemnation, making things difficult.

Original text

Sixty-two: Ming Yi, Yi is on the left thigh ①, used to make the horse strong ②, auspicious.

"Xiang" says: The good fortune of six and two is to obey it ③.

Translation

Six-two: Pelican, Pelican, injured in the left thigh, the gentleman was injured, but was rescued by the horse. auspicious.

"Xiang Ci" says: The sixty-two yao lines are auspicious because the sixty-two yin lines are under the ninety-three yang lines, just like a horse obeying its master and being considerate.

Notes

① Yi, injury. ②Use, because. "Save the horse strong" means that the horse was saved because it was strong and good at running. This ten-day period should be read together with "Ming Yi, Yi Yu Zuogu", which is used to describe someone who was injured and rescued by a horse. ③Shun Yizhe, this is based on the image and position of the sixty-two and ninety-three lines, the sixty-two Yin Yao is soft, the Ninety-three Yang Yao is strong, and the Sixty-two is below the Ninety-three, so it is said to be "Shun'. Then, Principle. "The Book of Songs": "This thing has four elements, which are the principles of leisure." "That is to say, it refers to the law of galloping. This should refer to the mind of the charioteer. "Shun Yi Ze" refers specifically to the horse's face, the horse's earth type, and the yin object, which is the image of the sixty-two yin Yao. It is also said that the horse is obedient and considerate of people's thoughts. Therefore, the injured master was saved.

Original text

Jiu San: Ming Yi hunted in the south ① and got the big head ③

"Xiang" said: The ambition to hunt in the south is a great success ④.

Translation

Ninety-three: In the hunting area in the south, I drew my bow and shot some big beasts. If you encounter this line, it will be unfavorable to predict diseases.

"Xiangci" says: Determined to hunt in the south, which is a great sign.

①" In the sentence "Ming Yi", Mr. Sha Shaohai said: "Yi, Cong Da Cong Gong Hui Yi ("Shuowen"). This refers to the bow. Ming Yi, that is, Ming Yi, still means drawing the bow and shooting. Nanhunting, that is, the southern hunting area. "② Dashou, that is, big head, here refers to the big-headed beast. ③ Ke, Wen Yiduo said: "Yes, it is also beneficial. "④The original work was great, but the transcription was mistaken. Corrected according to the ancient versions listed in Ruan Yuan's "Xiaokan Ji".

Original text

Sixty-four: Enter the left abdomen,

"Xiang" says: Enter the left abdomen and get the mind.

Sixty-four: Return. Go to a place of seclusion! When you step out of your room and enter the society, you will feel the danger of the environment, and the idea of ??retreat will arise.

"Xiangci" said: Returning to a place of seclusion will satisfy the desire for retreat. Mind.

Notes

① This line is difficult to understand. Li Jingchi said: "The left abdomen, the left ventricle. Abdomen, borrowed as *. An ancient semi-underground house with multiple rooms. Left*, that is, the left ventricle. Ming Yi, big bow. Xin, the root of the heart, is also called Zhu or Zhe. Zhu and Zhe suddenly turned around. This is a hard, fine bow-making material. This means that as soon as you go out, you find the heart wood for making a big bow, and then you go back to the left room and start making it. "Gao Heng said that this line should be read as: "'Enter the left abdomen and obtain Ming Yi. The heart is in the courtyard. ’ Ming Yi is singing pheasant. The abdomen reads as night, which means a cave. It is regarded as a small piece of ancient Chinese prose, but it is regarded as a small piece of ancient Chinese prose. It is similar in shape but wrong. "The line says: A screeching pheasant entered the cave on the left, and the gentleman found this pheasant. (This also records the story of the gentleman hunting the screeching pheasant.) The gentleman hunted the screeching pheasant and experienced difficulties, so he met this line and went out to the court. It is advisable to be cautious. Old notes believe that this refers to Wei Zi, the elder brother of King Zhou of Yin. He saw King Zhou's cruelty and harmed Ming and refused to listen to his repeated advice. Knowing that King Zhou's intentions were irreversible, he left the palace and fled to the Zhou Dynasty for refuge. These three statements by Cun Duan Shang Yizhou are reasonable, and the old explanations are not as accurate as those of Li and Gao. However, the author believes that the content of this hexagram can be divided into two aspects. It talks about hunting, that is, it is mentioned on the ninth, sixth and third day of the lunar month, preparing for its hardships and metaphorizing the difficulty of joining the world. The second is about retreat, emphasizing that retreat and keeping clean is a good strategy to eliminate disasters, and uses Jizi's behavior as an example. Evidence. One emerges and one retreats, which constitutes the main contradictory relationship of this hexagram. The hexagram meanings and line meanings explained in "彖" and "xiang" highlight the meaning of retreat, that is, sixty-four, sixty-five, and upper six. The third line is the basis. The sixth line says: "Jizi's Mingyi". To be precise, this is the story of Jizi's retreat to the neighboring countries in the east. There is no problem with the interpretation of "Mingyi" here. On the sixth chapter, "Unclear, obscure. "First ascend to the sky, then enter the earth", the same meaning is said. The rise and fall of the sun is used as a metaphor for the advancement and retreat of the nobles. Following this, the line "Winning the hearts of the Ming Yi" in line 64 should be interpreted as retreat. The idea just popped into my heart.

From the 64th line "obtaining the heart of Mingyi" to the 65th line "Ji Zi's Mingyi", and then to the upper 6th line "first ascending to the sky and then entering the earth", it shows the generation of ideas and then putting them into action. , and finally it was upgraded to a general summary, with an obvious line of thought development and a logical thinking process. Most of the Yi hexagrams have the obvious characteristics of unity of content, unity of theme and unity of thought. The analysis and grasp of these characteristics is an important method for interpreting "Yi". Therefore, Ming Yi should still interpret the meaning expressed by the name of the hexagram, that is, retreat. The left side of the abdomen is interpreted as a word, which is a metaphor for a deep and hidden place.

Original text

Sixty-five: Jizi’s Mingyi ①, Li Zhen.

"Xiang" says: Jizi's chastity is clear and unstoppable.

Translation

Sixty-five: After the fall of Yin, Jizi fled to a neighboring country in the east for refuge, and asked for a good omen.

"Xiangci" said: Jizi retired and stayed upright, and his glorious image will never be destroyed through the ages.

Notes

①Here "Ming Yi" retired as explained in the previous note.

Original text

Part 6: unclear, obscure. First ascend to the sky, then enter the earth.

"Xiang" said: When it first ascends to the sky, it shines on the four countries. If it enters the ground later, it will be lost. ①.

Translation

Part 6: The sun disappeared and it became dark. When the sun rises, it is a sign of a gentleman entering an official position; when the sun sets, it is a sign of a gentleman's retreat.

"Xiang Ci" says: When the sun rises, a gentleman enters an official position and shines in all directions. When the sun disappears, the gentleman retreats, and the country has no role models.

Notes

①Principle, an example to learn from.
