Tai hexagram is the eleventh hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams in the "Book of Changes", and the twelfth hexagram is Fu hexagram. There is an idiom that "Fu Ji Tai Lai" is derived from these two hexagrams.
The hexagram images of Tai hexagram are earth and sky Tai , that is, the upper hexagram is Kun for earth, and the lower hexagram is Qian for heaven. The hexagram and are just the opposite, they are heaven and earth, that is, the upper hexagram is Qian, which is heaven, and the lower hexagram is Kun, which is earth. The Tai hexagram and the No hexagram are each other's wrong hexagram, and they are also each other's comprehensive hexagram.
According to the phenomenon of our nature, the sky is above our heads, the sky is boundless, and the earth is under our feet, boundless and boundless. However, according to this image, it is "No Gua", and the meaning is obviously bad. So, why is it that the earth is above and the sky is below, which goes against common sense, but is a good "Tai Gua"?
In fact, this is exactly the thinking of the "Book of Changes" and the charm of the "Book of Changes". Because the earth is Yin Qi, the turbid Qi will sink, while the sky is Yang Qi, and the clear Qi will rise. In this way, when the earth is up and the sky is down, there is an interactive effect between the sky and the earth, that is, "the heaven and the earth are in harmony", so the clouds and rain Breed and nourish all things. When the sky is above and the earth is below, it forms the image of "heaven and earth are not connected", which is hollow, lifeless, and naturally in a "no" state.
It can be said that it was through the dialectical principles of Tai Gua and Fu Gua that I developed a strong interest in studying and understanding the "Book of Changes" and took action. Moreover, through these years of study, I have deeply realized that the sixty-four hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" really contain rich philosophy and wisdom, which are worthy of our serious study and research.
"Xiang" says: Heaven and earth are in harmony, peace; later, wealth is used to form the way of heaven and earth, to assist the heaven and earth, and to control the people.
Heaven and earth intersect and connect with each other. The monarch should master and imitate the ways of heaven and earth, and comply with the movement of heaven and earth, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
The heaven and earth here can be the monarch and the people, the husband and wife in the family, or the leaders and employees in the company or unit. In this up-down (yin-yang) relationship, there must be sufficient communication and communication to achieve the best results. And if the leader is aloof, the employees are silent, there is no smooth communication channel, or the husband and wife are in a cold war and do not talk, this is a state of "no" for the next hexagram.
Hexagram: Small to big, good and prosperous.
From small to big, it is auspicious and prosperous.
The yang energy of the Qian hexagram is small, and the yin energy of the Kun hexagram is also small. However, through the hexagrams of earth, sky and tai, the combination of yin and yang forms a big situation of harmony between heaven and earth, which means that the small goes to the big. Here, we can also imagine the effect of 1+1 being greater than 2. Moreover, it is a state of harmony of yin and yang, with good weather and good weather, so it is auspicious and prosperous.
Dialogue: Tai, small to big, good luck, prosperous. This means that heaven and earth communicate with each other and all things are connected; upper and lower communicate with each other and all are of the same mind. The inner yang is the outer yin, the inner strength is the outer docility, the inner gentleman is the outer villain, the gentleman's Tao is long, and the villain's Tao is eliminated.
Tai hexagram is a sign of small things going to big things, which is auspicious and prosperous. The reason is that the intersection of heaven and earth leads to the interconnection of all things, and the interconnection of top and bottom leads to the same aspirations. The stem of the lower hexagram is yang, and the kun of the upper hexagram is yin, which indicates that the heart is strong and the outside is supple. The inside is a gentleman who is constantly striving for self-improvement, and the outside is mediocre and mediocre. The Qian Dao expands outward, while the Kun Dao is introverted.
First of all, regarding "Tai", our normal understanding is peacefulness, calmness, etc., but in the Tai hexagram, it is best to understand it as "Tongtai", which means Tai, and lack of it means pain.
Secondly, we should focus on explaining this "villain". The so-called "villains" are not despicable and shameless people, but people who are weak and in a disadvantaged position. Kun is in this state relative to Qian. Therefore, when the Yang Qi rises, it is the "Tao Chang". When the Yin Qi sinks, it is warmed and blended by the Yang Qi, and naturally no longer cold and helpless, that is, the "Tao disappears".
Therefore, everything has yin and yang, and yin and yang lead to the interconnection of all things, whether it is the interconnection of up and down, the interconnection of inside and outside, or the interconnection of energy, etc.
The ninth day of the lunar month: Pull out Mao Ru, use it to gather good luck.
Pull out the thatch and find that the hairs at the roots are densely packed together. It will continue to develop and be auspicious.
Why are the roots of thatch so intertwined? In fact, we need to work together and do our best to absorb water and nutrients from the soil and deliver them to the leaves on the surface so that they can grow more lushly. Therefore, they came together because of like-mindedness.
The symbol of the first line is: "Pluck the grass to signify good luck, and your ambition is external." It also shows that although people are silently willing to gather and work hard underground, their common aspirations are flourishing above the surface.
The first line is " with ambition to reach the world ".
Ninety-two: Bao Huang, use Feng He, do not miss the legacy; if the friend dies, he must still be in the Bank of China.
Tolerate ignorance, face difficulties directly, do not be distant or close, and advocate the virtue of moderation.
Regardless of whether it is filthy or absurd, we have a broad mind to accept it. Don't flinch when you encounter a river, just wade into it alone. The wise and sage from far away will not be forgotten, and the people around you will not form cliques for personal gain. Practicing the golden mean demonstrates the virtue of a gentleman.
The second line is the "middle" position of the Qian hexagram, and the Yang line is in the Yin position, which is not correct. Therefore, the word "Zhongzheng" is not used in Yao Ci. The reason actually lies in the "Jian" and "Taoist" of Qian Gua, which want to expand outwards, so they can be open-minded, open-minded, and unite all forces that can be united to seek development. Therefore, the image of Eryao says: "Bao Huang, you have to stay in the middle line, so as to achieve greatness."
The second line is " conduct one's virtues to achieve peace and prosperity ".
Ninety-three: There is no peace or failure, there is no going back; there is no blame for hardship and honesty, don’t pity one’s faults, and you will be blessed with food.
There is no flat land, there is no slope, there is no going, there is no return. If you stick to the right path, there will be no disaster. Don't worry about integrity, you will be blessed with food and salary.
The three Yao should be "more evil", but here is the Yang Yao and is in the Yang position, so when facing difficulties, there is no blame for hardship. From the perspective of emphasizing "Tongtai", there is no flat land that is not transformed from slope land, and there is no reward that is not paid in advance. As long as we stick to the right path, be honest with each other, and work together, we will be able to live without worries about food and clothing, and even be prosperous and wealthy in the future. To put it simply, there will be bread in the future. We don’t say anything now and just pay it forward.
Therefore, whether it is a big pie or not, the three lines are " with the vision of Tongtai ".
Sixty-four: Pianpian, if you are not rich, you will be like your neighbor, if you are not disciplined, you will be rich.
Birds fly up and down easily and have no relationship of benefit or use to each other. Therefore, they treat each other honestly and honestly, and there is no need to be wary of each other.
The four yin lines are in the yin position, and when in position, they are also the first lines of the upper hexagram Kun hexagram. Judging from the position, Liusi is above Jiusan, which seems to be taking advantage of strength, but Siyao is based on integrity, which not only dispels Sanyao's concerns, but also corresponds to Chujiu and shares the same goals. It is the first to bear the brunt of the process of forming the harmony between heaven and earth.
Therefore, the four lines are " Tongtai with integrity ".
Sixth Five-Year Plan: Emperor Yi returns to his sister for good luck.
Emperor Yi asked his sister to get married in order to gain good fortune.
The ancients believed that when a woman gets married as an adult, she actually "returns home" and is originally a member of her husband's family. Emperor Yi is the last second-generation emperor of the Shang Dynasty , that is, the last emperor and the father of the famous tyrant King Zhou of Shang . In order to ease the relationship with Zhou people, he married his sister to King Wen of Zhou , just to be a concubine. Everyone may be familiar with King Wen of Zhou. It was he who created the acquired gossip and deduced it into the eighty-eight and sixty-four hexagrams. It seems that the roots here are quite deep.
Among the sixty-four hexagrams, there is a special Guimei hexagram, which is the fifty-fourth hexagram. Coincidentally, there are also six and five lines in the Guimei hexagram, and the lines are "Emperor Yi Guimei, his emperor's sleeves are not as good as his Di's sleeves; it is auspicious to look at the moon." Like the sixth and fifth lines of the Tai hexagram, there are the four words "Emperor Yi Guimei". Guimei Gua discusses marriage issues, and the sixty-five lines talk about the relationship between a real wife and a concubine.
The five Yao are the Yin Yao in the Yang position, which is inappropriate. Not the real Nine-Five Master. But from the perspective of the fusion of yin and yang, it is not surprising that , the yin yarn, and , are attached to the strong yang yarn, which brings good fortune.
Taking the marriage of men and women as an example, it shows that the five lines are " Yin and Yang connect Tai ".
Chapter 6, "The city was restored to the emperor"; don't use teachers, tell your orders in your own town, be stingy.
With the protection of the city wall, a circle of trenches was added to protect the city. If you don't take the initiative to fight and give orders in your own territory, it will be dangerous if you continue like this.
Shangyao is generally in a state where things must be reversed when they reach their extremes, so there is a saying that "the Shangyao is easy to know". The Tai hexagram has always emphasized the issue of communication and harmony. Moreover, the five lines also directly use marriage to illustrate the blessings that the harmony of heaven and earth can bring. As a result, Shangyao used "city" plus "huang" to block traffic and communication, which meant that it was closed to the outside world. Self-contained, thinking that if you don't take the initiative to provoke others, you will be fine. In fact, from the fact that our Qing Dynasty was humiliated by the Eight-Power Allied Forces , we can see that seclusion is unrealistic, and it is also the main reason for backwardness and decline. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, so it is a "stingy" ending, and it is more likely to be a "ferocious" ending.
Many explanations use "recover" as "overturn", saying that the city wall fell down and covered the trench... which seems far-fetched. The word "replex" here is its original meaning, indicating that layers of barriers have been added.
From this point of view, the upper Yao is high and feels good about itself, so it is " closed to closed doors ".
Some people say that each hexagram and line in the sixty-four hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" corresponds to a different state of life, and it does make sense. Let’s review and summarize the six lines of the Tai hexagram:
The state of the first line is to work together, have the same goal, and realize "Tai" through interoperability of aspirations.
In the state of Eryao, one must have a broad mind, act fairly, and achieve "Tai" through the interoperability of virtues.
In the three-yao state, we must not be afraid of hardships, look forward to the future, and realize "Thailand" through the interoperability of visions.
The state of the four Yao is to be like-minded, be honest with each other, and achieve "Tai" through honest communication.
The state of the five Yao means that yin and yang should complement each other, bring harmony and happiness, and achieve "Tai" through the interconnection of yin and yang.
In the state of Liu Yao, he is closed-minded and self-righteous, blocking "Tai" with the incompatibility of heaven and earth.
The disharmony between heaven and earth is the hexagram of the twelfth hexagram Fu in the Book of Changes. Therefore, from "Tai" in hexagram 11 to "No" in hexagram 12, it is really just a step away, and the upper line of Tai hexagram plays the role of this transformation.
Therefore, to be prepared for danger in times of peace, to prepare for a rainy day, to guard against the unexpected, etc., are all the inspirations that Tai Gua wants to give us.
In the next article, we will share the enlightenment brought to us by the "Fu Gua".
