"Kun Gua" uses the six-line text: "Use six, benefit Yongzhen"
" Yijing " and "Kun Gua" both have a special line title, both of which have one more line text than other hexagrams. Qian Gua is called "Use nine", and Kun Gua is called "Use six".
In the "Book of Changes", "nine" represents yang line , "six" represents yin line , one yin and one yang are called Tao, the six lines of Qian hexagram are all yang, the six lines of Kun hexagram are all yin, and the other sixty-two hexagrams are all yin and yang. The yang alone does not grow, the yin alone does not grow, the Qian hexagram has no yin, and the Kun hexagram has no yang, so the sage specially added an extra line to the Qian and Kun hexagram, warning the Qian hexagram not to be too masculine, but praises the Kun hexagram for being gentle forever.
"Use Jiu" is a unique line title in "Qian Gua". The so-called use of nine means that when the divination is done, all six lines are nine, so the use of the nine lines is used to determine the matter. According to the ancient divination method, when divination encounters the Qian Gua, if the six lines are all seven, the hexagram words are used to judge the matter; if the six lines are all nine, the nine lines are used to judge the matter.
Similarly, "Use Six" is a unique line title in the "Kun" hexagram. In ancient times, divination met the "Kun" hexagram. Whenever divination is obtained, the number is either "eight" or "six", and "six" can change, but "eight" remains unchanged. The principle of divination is to use "six" instead of "eight", which means divination. If divination is obtained, the six lines are both "six", the word "using six" is used as the result of divination. That is, if the six lines are all eight, the hexagrams are used to determine the matter; if the six lines are all six, the six lines are used to determine the matter.
Use six refers to the six lines of Kun hexagram. Because they are all yin, they are all used to represent them. It can be said that using six is also an alias for Kun hexagram.
Song Dynasty Shao Yong There is a poem "The Song of Qiankun" that says:
Use nine to see a group of dragons, and the head can produce common things.
Use Liuli Yongzhen, because Qian thinks it is profitable.
The four symbols are ninety percent, so it becomes thirty-six.
Four symbols is 60%, and then it becomes twenty-four.
How nine and six can do everything in the world.
Let’s see what the meaning of using Liuyao words.
"Use six, benefit Yongzhen", Yong means long-term, long-term.
Use the Liuyao word to mean that when divination is done, all six are six. This line is called "Use Liu", and it is auspicious to divine long-term things.
"Xiang" says: "Use the six eternal chastity" to achieve great ending.
未, correct it here.
means that you are always upright and abiding by the right path, and you will get the result of great virtue and career, so you will benefit.
Wang Bi Note: "Use the benefits of six, and the benefits of Yongzhen are 'benefits of Yongzhen'. Those who can end up with Yongzhen."
Wang Bi means that the reason why using Liu Yao is auspicious is because "Yongzhen". Only by always maintaining the right path can one end and get a good result.
Cheng Yi Note: ""Kun's use of six is just like Qian's use of nine, which is the way to use Yin. The vagina is soft and difficult to be constant, so the way to use Six is beneficial to the permanent and Yongzhen ". Cheng Yi explained the "Xiang" that "using the six eternal priests is used to end with great ends", believing that "if the yin is not enough, it cannot end forever. Therefore, using the six ways is beneficial to the grandeur than the end, and being able to exceed the end, is eternal priest."
Therefore, Cheng Yi also believes that the feminine way is difficult to last. If you can persist for a long time, the result will be auspicious.
The meaning of using Liuyao Ci is that it is beneficial to always maintain the true nature. Yin and Yang are opposite each other. The intersection of Yin and Yang will produce new life and new things, and they will inherit and maintain their own nature, rather than becoming the other person completely and becoming a unipolar world. Such a world with both natures is the real world and a vibrant world.
All six yin lines must be changed into yang lines, and the "Kun Gua" will change into the "Qian Gua". Although it becomes Qian, Kun still exists, but it has the spirit of Qian. Feminineness has masculine nature, which is conducive to permanently upholding the Kun Tao.
Here it is explained that the principle of the minister's way is Yongzhen, which is also the principle of the wife's way. Only by being loyal forever can one achieve a great good ending.
After the death of King Wu , King Cheng succeeded to the throne in his teens, and Duke Zhou was regent. Duke Zhou replaced King Cheng to govern the country, consolidated the regime, and then transferred the throne to King Cheng, and retreated himself to the position of a minister. This is "Yongzhen".
大终，阴极而转阳的结果。 Yin is based on softness and compliance, and pure Yin cannot accomplish anything. Use the sixth to turn Yin into Yang as the end.
坤为阴，阴为柔。 Because treating all things with feminine strategies is always the embodiment of Kun’s righteous way as long as it is conducive to the growth of all things. Although you are weak, sticking to the right way will make up for your shortcomings and get things done well.
Here we mainly emphasize that we should do things according to the virtues of Kun hexagram. If we possess the virtues of the earth and the virtues of the softness, then we will always be auspicious.
