Explanation
A family that practices good will definitely have a lot of good luck, and a family that does evil will have a lot of disasters. What is described is a phenomenon in which things gradually and slowly accumulate, and finally quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. At the same time, it also serves as a warning to people that they should be vigilant and take measures as soon as possible if they see the emergence of some minor adverse phenomena. The harm and consequences of allowing it to develop are very serious.
Confucianism attaches great importance to family education. Here, Confucius uses the consequences and impact of healthy and harmonious family relationships as an example to explain the meaning of the sixth line of the Kun hexagram, "Walking on frost, standing on solid ice." , also exhorts people to pay attention to family education through the principle of "walking on frost, the ice will be firm".

Composition
Because the "Book of Changes" scriptures are profound and simple, scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period found it very difficult to read, so they interpreted the scriptures. The text of the text began to appear, and it was called "Yi Zhuan" in history. "Yi Zhuan" consists of seven articles. Its creation time was not very long from the time when the scriptures were formed (about five or six hundred years). It is the most original and authoritative text to explain the scriptures.
These seven articles are: "Tuan Zhuan", "Xiang Zhuan", "Xici Zhuan", "Wenyan Zhuan", "Shuo Gua Zhuan", "Xu Gua Zhuan" and "Miscellaneous Gua Zhuan" ", among which, the three chapters of "彖传", "Xiang Zhuan" and "Xici Zhuan" are divided into upper and lower parts respectively, plus the other four chapters to form the "Ten Wings". "Yi" means "wings" and has the meaning of "auxiliary".
