Jiu San said: "A gentleman works hard all day long and is vigilant at night. He is strict and blameless." What does it mean? Confucius said: "A gentleman develops virtue and cultivates his career. He is loyal and trustworthy, so he develops virtue; rhetoric establishes his sincerity, so he lives his career. Knowing the best. When it comes to it, it can be compared with a few words. Knowing the end and the end can be compared with preserving the meaning. This is why you live in a high position without being arrogant, and when you are in a low position you don’t worry. Therefore, Qian Qian is alert because of the time. Even if it is dangerous, there is no fault."
Jiu Si said, "You may jump into the abyss, and there is no blame." What does this mean? Confucius said: "Up and down are impermanent, and this is not evil; advancement and retreat are inconstant, and this is not a departure from the group. A gentleman advances in virtue and cultivates his career in a timely manner, so there is no blame." "
Jiuwu said, "A flying dragon is in the sky, which helps to see great people." What does it mean? Confucius said: "The same voice corresponds to the same breath, and the same breath seeks each other; water flow moistens, fire dries; clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger; the sage works and all things can be seen. This is Those who are from heaven are close to the top, and those who are from the earth are close to the bottom, so each one follows its own kind."
On the ninth day of the ninth chapter, it is said, "A powerful dragon has regrets." What does it mean? Confucius said: "The noble has no position, the high has no people, the sage is in the lower position and has no help, so there is regret in moving."
"Don't use a hidden dragon" means "lower"; "seeing a dragon in the field" means leaving it alone; "working hard all day long" means doing something; "may jump in the abyss" means self-test; "flying dragon in the sky" means upper management ; "A strong dragon has regrets" means the disaster of poverty; "Yong Jiu" in the Qianyuan Dynasty means the rule of the world.
"Don't use the hidden dragon", Yang Qi is hidden; "Seeing the dragon in the field", the world is civilized; "Working all day long", walking with the times; "Maybe leaping in the abyss", the road is leather; "Flying dragon in the sky", it is the position It is about heaven's virtue; "A strong dragon has regrets" is in harmony with the times; Qianyuan's "Yong Jiu" is a glimpse of heaven's principles.
"Qian Yuan" refers to those who have prospered from the beginning. "Li Zhen" refers to their temperament. Qian Shi can benefit the world with beauty and profit, without mentioning the benefits. How great! How great is Qian! He is strong, upright, and pure. The six lines are used to communicate emotions. When riding on the six dragons, they control the sky; the clouds move and the rain spreads, and the world is peaceful.
A gentleman's conduct is to achieve virtue. It is an action that can be seen day by day. "Hidden" means words, hidden but not seen, and actions but not completed, so a gentleman has no use for it. A gentleman learns and gathers together, asks questions to argue, and is tolerant. Live in it and act with benevolence. "Book of Changes" says, "Seeing a dragon in the field is a good way to see a great person." This is the virtue of a king.
The ninety-three layers are strong but not in the middle. The upper part is not in the sky and the lower part is not in the field. Therefore, "Qian Qian" is "vigilant" because of its time. Although it is dangerous, it is "no fault".
The ninety-four levels of hardness are not in the middle. The top is not in heaven, the bottom is not in fields, and the middle is not in people, so it is "or". If it is "or", it is doubtful, so it is "no blame".
Husband, "Master", the virtues of the heaven and the earth are consistent, the brightness of the sun and the moon is consistent, the order of the four seasons is consistent, and the good and bad luck of the ghosts and gods are consistent with each other. Innate and natural, it is not contrary to heaven, and acquired is based on heaven's timing. Heaven does not violate, but what's more, Is it human? How about ghosts and gods?
"Kang" means a word, knowing how to advance but not knowing how to retreat, knowing how to survive but not knowing how to perish, knowing how to gain but not knowing how to lose. He is the only sage! He who knows how to advance and retreat but not lose his integrity is the only sage!
Kun Wenyan
Kun is the most soft yet strong in movement, the most tranquil yet virtuous. It is "the master in the end" and has permanence. It contains all things and turns into light. The way of Kun is obedient, and it carries the heaven and moves in time.
A house that has accumulated good deeds will surely be blessed; a house that has accumulated bad deeds will surely have remnants of disaster. A minister will kill his king, and a son will kill his father. It does not happen overnight, but it happens gradually! It is not necessary to argue early. "Yi" It is said: "Walking on frost and firm ice arrives", which means that the words are correct.
"Straight" refers to righteousness, and "square" refers to meaning. A gentleman respects straightness inward, and righteousness in outward direction. Respecting righteousness is the foundation of virtue, and virtue is not alone. "Straight and square are great, and there will be no disadvantage if you don't practice them." Then there is no doubt about what he does. .
Although Yin is beautiful, it cannot be accomplished if it is meant to "serve the king's affairs".
The authentic way is also the way of wives and the way of ministers. The authentic way is "without success" and replaces "with an end".
The sky and the earth change, and the grass and trees grow; the heaven and the earth close, and the wise men hide. "Yi" says: "There is no blame or reputation in the bag." This is also a sincere statement.
The gentleman's Huangzhongtongli is in the right position, the beauty is in it, and it flows through the four branches, and it is developed in career, which is the ultimate beauty!
If Yin suspects Yang, it must fight, because it suspects there is no Yang, so it is called "dragon". It is still not out of its category, so it is called "blood". The "Xuanhuang" is a mixture of heaven and earth, and the sky is mysterious. Rehmannia glutinosa.[]
The heaven is superior and the earth is inferior, and the universe is determined. The inferior and the high are established, and the positions of high and low are fixed. Movement and stillness are constant, and hardness and softness are broken. Similar things are gathered together, things are divided into groups, and good and bad things happen. Images are formed in the sky, shapes are formed on the earth, and changes are seen. That's why hardness and softness rub against each other, Bagua sway with each other, drum it up with thunder, moisten it with wind and rain; the sun and moon move around, one cold and one hot. Qian Dao becomes male, Kun Dao becomes female. Qian knows the Great Beginning, and Kun creates things.
Qian is easy to know, Kun is simple to be able. Easy means easy to know, simple means easy to follow. Easy to know, there are relatives, easy to follow, there is merit. If there are relatives, it will be long, and if there is merit, it will be great. If it lasts, the virtue of a wise man will be great. Then the karma of a wise man can be simplified, and the principles of the world can be understood; the principles of the world can be understood, and the principles of the world can be found in it.
The sage sets up the hexagrams and observes the images to determine the good and bad. The hardness and softness push each other and change occurs. Therefore, good and bad luck are the signs of loss and gain; regrets and stinginess are the signs of worry and misfortune. Changes are the sign of advance and retreat. Also; hardness and softness are the signs of day and night. The movement of the six lines is the way of the three poles.
Therefore, where a gentleman lives and is at peace, it is the preface of "Yi"; where he enjoys playing, it is also the words of Yao. Therefore, when a gentleman lives, he observes its images and plays with his words, and when he moves, he watches its changes and plays with his words. Therefore, "Since God has blessed me, I will have good luck and no bad luck."
Tuan means talking about images; Yao means talking about changes; good or bad luck means losing or gaining; regretful means talking about small flaws; blameless means making up for mistakes. This is why the list is made. Those who are noble and humble are in position, those who are humble are in hexagrams, those who argue about good and bad luck are in words, those who are sad and stingy are in intermediaries, and those who are blameless are in regrets. Therefore, hexagrams have big and small, and words are dangerous and easy. Ci is also Each refers to its place.
"Yi" is accurate to the heaven and the earth, so it can understand the way of the heaven and the earth. Looking up to observe the astronomy, bending down to observe the geography, this is why we know the dim light. The original is the end, so we know the theory of life and death. Essence is the object, and the wandering soul is the Change is the state of knowing ghosts and gods.
It is similar to the heaven and the earth, so it does not violate it. It knows that all things are around, and the Tao helps the world, so it does not pass. It goes sideways without flowing, and is happy with heaven and knows its fate, so it does not worry. It is peaceful and benevolent, so it can love. The scope of the transformation of heaven and earth does not pass, and it is bent. The creation of all things is without leaving anything behind, and it can be understood through the way of day and night. Therefore, the gods have no formula and the "Yi" has no body.
One yin and one yang are called Tao. What follows is goodness, or nature. When a benevolent person sees it, it is called benevolence, and when a knowledgeable person sees it, it is called knowledge. People use it every day but do not know it, so the way of a gentleman is rare.
Show all benevolence, hide all uses, encourage all things without worrying about the saints. Great virtues and great achievements! Being rich is called great achievements, and being renewed day by day is called great virtue. Living and growing is called "Yi", and forming images is called Qian. Follow the example It is called Kun, the number that knows the extremes is called Zhan, the change is called things, and the unpredictability of yin and yang is called God.
"Book of Changes" is so vast! If you speak far away, you will not be restrained; if you speak near, you will be quiet and upright; if you speak between heaven and earth, you will be ready. Fu Qian, his calmness is also focused, his movement is also straight, this is Yan is born from the great. Fu Kun, its stillness is also quiet, and its movement is also wide, so it is born from the broad. The vastness matches the heaven and the earth, the flexibility matches the four seasons, the righteousness of yin and yang matches the sun and the moon, and the goodness of simplicity matches the supreme virtue.
Confucius said: The Book of Changes has come to an end! According to the Book of Changes, the reason why sages respect virtue and have a wide range of careers is because they believe in worshiping etiquette and humbleness, worshiping the service of heaven, and respecting the law and the earth. Heaven and earth set their positions, and the Book of Changes is within them. Yes. The existence of mature nature is the door of morality.
The sage sees the things in the world, and tries to describe them and resemble them appropriately, that is why they are called images. The sage sees the movements of the world, observes their interactions, performs rituals, and uses words to judge their good and bad fortunes. That's what it means.
It is said that when the world is at its most extreme, it should not be abhorred; when it is said that the world is in a state of change, it should not be messed up. Plan it and then talk about it; discuss it and then move it; propose it so that it can change.
"The crane is in the shade, and his son is in harmony with it; I have a good prince, and I am with you." The Master said: "A gentleman lives in his room, and if he speaks good words, he will respond to them thousands of miles away, how much more so than the one who is so close? If you stay in your room and say something bad, it will be violated thousands of miles away, how about someone who is close to you? What you say comes from yourself and benefits the people; what you say is close by, and it is seen far away. Words and deeds are the cardinals of a gentleman. The words of a cardinal are, He is also the master of honor and disgrace. With his words and deeds, the reason why a gentleman moves heaven and earth is because he is careless!"
"People with the same mind first shout and then laugh." Confucius said: "The way of a gentleman may come from somewhere, or be silent or speak. If two people are of the same mind, their sharpness will cut through metal; if they speak of the same mind, their odor will be as bad as orchid." "The sixth day of the lunar month." , Borrowing Imperata, there is no fault." The Confucius said: "It is possible to make mistakes in various places. What's the blame for borrowing Imperata? It is necessary to be cautious. The grass is a thin thing, but it can be used heavily. The art of caution has also passed. , he has lost nothing.”
"Working modestly, a gentleman will eventually have good luck." Confucius said: "Work hard but not cut down, have merit but not virtue, this is the most generous person. He who uses his merits to help others is the one who uses his merits. His words are full of virtue, and his courtesy words are respectful. This is the person who is humble. , he is the one who pays tribute to preserve his position."
"A powerful dragon has regrets." Confucius said: "A noble person has no position, a high person has no people, a wise man is in a lower position and has no help, so there is regret in moving."
"If you don't leave the door, there will be no blame." Confucius said: "When chaos arises, words are regarded as ranks. If a gentleman is not secretive, he will lose his ministers; if his ministers are not secretive, he will lose his virginity; if he is not secretive in several matters, he will be harmed. Therefore, a gentleman should be careful and cautious. And not come out."
Confucius said: "Whoever wrote the "Yi" knows about stealing? "Yi" says: 'Taking negative and multiplying will lead to bandits'. Those who negative are the things of a villain; those who multiply are the tools of a gentleman. A small person When a person takes advantage of a gentleman's weapon, the thief wants to seize it. When the superior is slow and the lower is violent, the thief thinks of cutting down. The slow hides and teaches the thief, and the appearance teaches the adulterer. "Yi" says, "Be negative and take advantage of it, leading to the invasion of the invaders." Recruitment."
The sky is one and the earth is two, the sky is three and the earth is four, the sky is five and the earth is six, the sky is seven and the earth is eight, the sky is nine and the earth is ten. The number of heaven is five, and the number of earth is five. Thirty, there are five out of fifty in heaven and earth. This is why ghosts and gods become transformed.
The number of Dayan is fifty, and there are nine in forty. Divide it into two, to symbolize two, hang one to symbolize three, hang it to four to symbolize the four o'clock. The strange thing is that it is to symbolize a leap, and there will be another leap at the age of five. , so cut it again and then hang it.
The strategy of "Qian" is six out of two hundred and ten. The strategy of "Kun" is four out of one hundred and forty, and the strategy of "Fan" is sixty out of three hundred. On the current day, the strategy of two chapters is one thousand five hundred and twenty. It is the number of all things. Therefore, the four camps form the "Yi", and eight out of ten changes into hexagrams, and the trigrams are small. If you draw and extend it, follow the analogy and grow it, all the things in the world will be completed.
It shows the virtues of the Tao and the gods, so it can be used to entertain and bless the gods. The Master said: "Those who know the way of change know what the gods are doing!"
"Yi" has four principles of the sage: those who speak should value their words, those who move should value their transformations, those who make utensils should value their images, and those who use divination should value their fortune-telling. Therefore, a gentleman will do something, and he will do something. Also, if you ask Yan and speak, he will receive orders like a ring. There is no distance or depth, and you will know what is coming. If you are not the best in the world, who can match this?
Participate in the changes and combine their numbers. Through the changes, you will become the text of heaven and earth; if you make extreme numbers, you will determine the phenomena of the world. If it is not the ultimate change of the world, who can match this?
"Yi", there is no thought, no action, no movement, and the feeling can then connect to the world. Who else can be like this if he is not the supreme god in the world?
According to "Yi", the reason why a sage is very profound is because he studies a few things. Because he is very deep, he can understand the aspirations of the world; because he is only a few things, he can achieve the affairs of the world; because he is very spiritual, he can do it quickly without going fast, and he can achieve things without moving. Confucius said, "The Book of Changes contains four aspects of the sage's way." This is what he calls it.
Confucius said: "What is the meaning of "Yi"? "Yi" is to establish things and accomplish tasks, to follow the way of the world, and that's all." Therefore, the sage uses his ambition to understand the world to determine the cause of the world. To eliminate the doubts of the world. Therefore, the virtues of weed are perfect and divine, the virtues of hexagrams can be known, and the meanings of the six lines can be easily paid tribute. The sages use this to wash their minds and hide in secrets. Good and bad times share the same troubles with the people. Gods come with knowledge. , who knows how to hide things in the past, who can compare with this? The ancients were smart, wise, and powerful but did not kill. This is because they understand the way of heaven and observe the people. It is made by this fast, and it is the virtue of the gods. Therefore, the whole household is called Kun, the opening of a household is called Qian, the opening and closing is called change, the endless communication is called communication, the sight is called image, and the shape is called Utensils, when made and used, are called laws, and when they are used in and out, they are used by the people, called gods.
Therefore, there is Tai Chi in "Yi", which generates two rituals, two rituals generate four images, and four images generate Bagua. Bagua determines good and bad luck, and good and bad luck generates great causes.
Therefore, there is no Dharma image greater than heaven and earth; flexibility, nothing greater than the four seasons; county images bearing brightness, nothing greater than the sun and moon; loftiness, nothing greater than wealth; preparing things for use, setting up utensils for the benefit of the world, nothing greater than saints; exploring treasures. Hidden, the hook is deep and far-reaching, and it is used to determine the good and bad luck of the world, and there is no greater person than the turtle.
Therefore, all things are born, and the sages follow them; the heaven and earth change, and the sages follow them; the sky hangs down to see good and bad luck, and the sages follow them; the river comes out of the "Picture", and the Luo comes out of the "Book", and the sage follows it. "Yi" has four images, so It indicates; "Xici" is Yan, so it is reported; it is determined by good or bad, so it is judged.
"Yi" says: "Since God bless it, it is good and has no disadvantages." Confucius said: "Those who bless it are helpers. Those who are helped by heaven are obedient; those who are helped by people are trustworthy. If you follow the trust, you will be obedient, and you will be obedient." It means to honor the virtuous. It means 'Since God has blessed you with good luck and no disadvantages'."
Confucius said: "The words cannot be fully expressed in the book, and the meaning cannot be fully conveyed by the words." But the meaning of the sage cannot be seen? The Confucius said: "The sage sets up images to express his intention, sets up hexagrams to express his true intentions, and sets up his words to express his words. Change it and use it to make the best use of it; dance it with the drum to make it full of spirit."
Qian and Kun, what is wrong with the "Yi"? The Qian and Kun are in a row, and the "Yi" stands within it; if the Qian and the Earth are destroyed, the "Yi" cannot be seen. If the "Yi" cannot be seen, then the Qian and Kun may have almost ceased to exist! This is the metaphysical reason. It is called the Tao, the form is called the tool, the transformation is called the transformation, the generalization is called the general, and the action can be taken to help the people of the world, it is called the cause. This is the old man Xiang, the sage has the way to see the world. "Zhen" is used to describe its descriptions and resemble its objects, so it is called "Xiang"; the sage has the ability to see the movements of the world, and observes its meeting to perform its rituals, and uses words to judge its good and bad, so it is called "Yao" .The most powerful things in the world exist in the hexagrams, the ones that encourage the movement of the world exist in the words, the ones that transform and cut exist in the changes, the ones that generalize exist in the communication, the ones that are divine and clear exist in the people, they are done silently without speaking. And trust lies in virtue. (To be continued)
