Luohu knew very well about the morality of heaven and earth. Even the eight kinds of education that Fuxi previewed in the Eight Trigrams was not difficult for him. However, it took nearly a hundred years to understand the eight kinds of education of the Eight Trigrams.

The most powerful figure in Taoism that can summarize Chinese culture must be the Tai Chi diagram; the group of symbols that best represent the connotation of Chinese culture must be the Bagua; the most profound and magical eight Chinese characters must be the names of Bagua - Gan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. As a practitioner, you must understand Bagua.

The way of the Eight Trigrams is profound and profound, reaching the way of heaven and exploring the subtleties of people's daily lives.

The predecessors have already said too much about the great truth, but few people have said it about the manifestation of color in life.

The gossip actually contains eight situations in people's daily lives, and what they reflect are eight real educations.

Qian Gua, men are educated. Learn to show weakness, so why not give in?

The hexagram of Qian hexagram is heaven, and its characteristics are "health" - strong, the so-called "heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement", which has strong masculine traits.

The three lines of Qian hexagram are all yang, which is the pure yang hexagram.

But as the saying goes, things will turn back when extreme. Although Qian hexagram is strong and powerful, it is unmoved, but it is hard and easy to break, so there are signs of lack of peace and reversal in the opposite direction.

For men, this is exactly the most worthy of being vigilant and learning.

Due to physical and psychological reasons, it is easy for men to become strong, but if they are too strong and do not know how to restrain themselves, it will become destructive and have bad consequences. For example: if you are too strong to your wife, you will be macho; if you are too strong to your children, you may be violent; if you are too strong in the workplace, you will be stubborn and offend others...

Such men actually lack education and have not yet practiced the skills of restraint. They have the strength and the weak in strength, and the soft in strength have not been cultivated. All things are the combination of yin and yang, and any side is missing can only be deformed. Only when both are both, and strong in strength and tenacity can they truly stand tall.

Kun Gua, women's upbringing. Times have changed, but women's virtues are still needed.

The hexagram of Kun hexagram is earth, and its characteristics are "straight" - "the ground is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with virtue" and "the highest good is like water, and good at benefiting all things without fighting."

This kind of character naturally makes people think of women, and then the traditional requirements for women - women's morality.

There are indeed many unfair and outdated contents in traditional female virtues, but they will never be outdated in the fundamental spirit. This is Kunde.

This kind of virtue is exactly what this era is urgently lacking.

What is Kunde?

In short, it means: a good wife and mother are a good person, a warm and generous person, a stoic and tenacious person in his heart, and a tolerant and persevering attitude.

To obey, one does not mean succumb to patriarchal power, but understands that men and women have different physiological and psychological differences, so they have their own appropriate positions, but this position is equal, rather than having to do things that men are good at and effective.

For this point, women need to return to their recognition, and men should also reflect on whether they do not respect enough about this "each person is in his own position and does not contradict each other".

Zhen Gua, mentality and upbringing. Whenever you have a peaceful attitude.

The hexagram of Zhen hexagram is thunder, and its characteristics are "movement" - vibration and vibration. However, because it can eliminate dull and dirty air, it may not be a kind of prosperity and smoothness.

This inevitably reminds people of the circumstances of life. There are always fewer peace and smooth things, there are always so many bumps and turbulence, and sometimes even thunder and storms.

How should people deal with the good and bad times of life?

The Zhen hexagram can just provide inspiration to people, pointing to one point - mentality.

In good times, do not be complacent, but take it indifferently; in bad times, do not panic, lose your composure, but be calm.

Only when you have a solid and heavy and real cultivation in your heart and show it to outsiders can you be a kind of education that is not alarmed by favors and disgraces and is as peaceful as the Zhen Gua reveals, can you cleanse the turbidity and dullness and usher in a clear and clear and smooth life.

Just as the Emperor Taishang said: Misfortune is the basis of good fortune, and blessing is the basis of bad fortune.

The Xun Gua is educated by others. It is humble to others and respectful to others.

The hexagram of Xun hexagram is wind, and its characteristic is "entering". When combined, it means that the wind is endless and the holes are everywhere. It means that it is a kind of smoothness and stability. "Xun" means "shun".

This hexagram says that only by obeying others can you benefit, that is, you must be humble and obedient. It is naturally a hexagram that relates to interpersonal communication and dealing with people.

The description of this hexagram in divination is: a lonely boat falls on the beach, and there is a pole but no water to advance and retreat; when it rains heavily, the rivers and lakes overflow, there is no need to worry about going back and forth.

From the perspective of being a person, it is precisely when a person does not have a humble and obedient attitude, he will become a lonely boat with a pole but no water.

What is this water?

It is to learn to be humble and respectful to others.

With more friends and stronger connections, the water will naturally be full, and your life will be like a fish in water and ride the wind and waves.

Being humble in the heart is a kind of cultivation, and being humble to others is a kind of education.

Even if you lack inner cultivation, if you try to be humble as much as possible externally, you will in turn cultivate your own cultivation.

This requires people to lower their attitude and calm their mindset as much as possible, otherwise they will only be different from each other and have two sides, and they will eventually suffer.

Kan Gua, educate and do things. Be serious and responsible, and be cautious in doing things.

The hexagram of Kan hexagram is water, and its characteristic is "sinking". When combined, it means falling into a water pit.

The more you are at this time, the more you need to be cautious, learn to wait for the opportunity, and not act rashly.

But whether you can be cautious depends on your usual attitude. A person who is not serious and cautious in normal times can only panic when he reaches a critical moment and cannot expect him to be cautious suddenly at this nervous moment.

This requires people to have this attitude of doing things in daily life and constantly cultivate themselves.

But this issue cannot be viewed completely utilitarianly.

Because whether it is your own job or helping others do what they promise, being serious and responsible, and being cautious is the duty.

As the saying goes, "A gentleman acts with constant virtue and teaches things", requires people to constantly temper their own virtues.

Li Gua, family education. Marriage is serious, so don’t play with it.

The hexagram of Li hexagram is fire, and its characteristics are "beautiful". When combined, it means bright sunshine, so-called "the sun and the moon are beautiful in the sky."

The two words with completely opposite meanings of Li and Li remind people of the current marital situation. The divorce rate is high and there are fewer and fewer beautiful marriages shining brightly. Although the original intention of Li is not on marriage, it can provide direct inspiration for marriage.

The reasons for divorce are different, but in the end it is often emotional discord.

The Li Gua is a sign of fire. If two people are like fire, scrambling for each other, fighting for light, burning each other, unwilling to give in, and trying to understand and understand each other, what good results can be achieved except for conflict and discord?

The same is true for the relationship between other family members in the family.

The "beautiful" of Li Gua means attachment, that is, attachment, and one side needs to be weakened.

If one of the couple can compromise and think from the other's perspective, this contradiction can at least be eased; if it can infect the other party, the contradiction can not only be resolved, but also increases affection. Of course, compromise and understanding are mutual, and one cannot be completely required, so the sun will naturally shine brightly.

The Li hexagram also contains the meaning of being upright in actions, and the reason is here.

For marriage, if the temperament is really dissatisfied, you cannot force it.

But after all, in addition to some really uncontrollable factors, this consequence is often caused by the hasty decision to marry before marriage and the hasty decision to separate after marriage, which ultimately hurts others and oneself, and affects parents and relatives. This is the manifestation of lack of education.

Gen Gua, words and deeds are educated. If you should say it, say it, otherwise shut up.

The hexagram of Gen hexagram is a mountain, and its characteristic is "stop" - stop, stop.

This hexagram means that you should be cautious in your words and actions. If you should act, you should act, and if you should stop, you should stop; if you should speak, you should speak; if you should not speak, you should not speak.

The mountain of the hexagram emphasizes the strength of this end; the mountain is tall and heavy, and the people are in front of others and behind them are heavy education and cultivation.

Words and deeds are an art, and being decent is a pursuit.

To be appropriate, one lies in knowing how to be silent at the right time, and when it is time to say it, but one knows how to grasp it.

The core of the word "politeness" is to act properly. Regardless of movement and stillness, it is based on the principle of not losing etiquette.

How can it be done?

As the saying goes, "A gentleman cannot think out of his position", and "I cannot think out of his position" means knowing what he should say and do, and what he should not say and do, keep his feet on the ground and seeking truth from facts.

That is, when interacting with others, you must be honest and have a sincere attitude. In this way, you can consider the other person's feelings and will naturally not exceed the rules.

Sincerity and honesty are actually the best way and the greatest upbringing.

Dui hexagram, make friends and educate. Be honest and help each other.

The hexagram of Dui hexagram is Ze, and its characteristic is "joy" - joy and joy.

This hexagram is the only hexagram in the Eight Trigrams that talks about joy.

How can we be happy in interactions between people? The secret is the harmony of relationships.

If the relationship is harmonious and the heart is joyful, strangers can become friends, and if they are already friends, they can deepen friendship. This is the inspiration for making friends brought to people by Dui Gua.

How to be harmonious?

The hexagram of Dui hexagram has water, and making friends is like two waters intersecting, you have me and I have you.

In terms of feelings, this means that you should be honest and communicate with each other; in reality, this means that you should walk around frequently and help each other; in short, it means that the two parties complement each other and win-win results. The most clarity and most effective truth is often so ordinary...

Although it is ordinary, it tests people's upbringing.
