333It is difficult to know at the beginning, but it is easy to know above, and it is the root of the root. I first said that I planned it, and finally I finally achieved my goal. If you write about virtues by miscellaneous things and distinguish between right and wrong, then the lines in it are not prepared. Alas! If you want to survive and lose good or bad luck, you can know how to live. If you know, you will think half of your thoughts when you look at your words.
2 and 4 are the same but different, and their goodness is different. Two is more praise, four is more fear, and close. If softness is the way, it is not conducive to far-reaching. The key is not blamed, and the use of softness is middle. Three and five have the same merit but different positions. Three are more evil, five are more good, and the noble and low are more good. The softness is dangerous, but the hardness is better than evil?

[Interpretation]
"Everyone has a beginning, and there is a end." This is a sentence in "The Book of Songs·Daya·Dang", which means that if you lie down at the beginning without working hard, then there will be few good results in the end. In other words, without the hard work at the beginning, there would be no fruitful harvest after autumn. Those who are weak are decadent and lying flat. " is full of " means that you are lying flat from the beginning and look decadent. As a classic of the past that educates all peoples, the Book of Changes emphasizes the beginning and ending well, and emphasizes the causal relationship between the development and changes of things. The beginning is the origin, the cause, and the end is the result. To have a good result, it is the source and the beginning. We must work hard from the beginning. This is the spiritual essence of the entire book of the Book of Changes. Therefore, it is called . "The Book of Changes is a book, and the original is the end, and it is considered to be the quality." . The essence refers to the purpose of the work here.
Twelve message hexagrams are the origin hexagrams of hexagram changes. In the twelve message hexagrams, the six lines are not mixed with yin and yang, and things have their own categories. Therefore, in the twelve message hexagrams, the position and environment of the lines are the initial state of the lines. The change of the line produces a hexagram change. The hexagram changes cause the six lines to be mixed with yin and yang, and the mixed six lines have changed their initial state. Liuyao has changed its initial state in the message hexagram, but the large time of heaven and earth in which it is located has not changed, and is still the same as the time of heaven and earth in the message hexagram where it is derived. Therefore, it is called "The six lines are mixed together, but only things are at the time." .
hexagram has six positions, from bottom to top, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and upper. The position does not move but the line moves. The line has hardness and softness, the hard line is represented by "nine", and the soft line is represented by "six". Therefore, the rigid line is in the position, and it is called the first nine, nine two, nine three, nine four, nine five and the upper nine respectively from the bottom to the top. The soft line lies in the position, and is called the first six, six two, six three, six four, six five and the upper six respectively from the bottom to the top.
Generally speaking, the initial position represents the initial state of the development and change of things, with broad and broad development prospects, and it is difficult to predict its future state, so it is called "it is difficult to know at the beginning" . The superior state represents the extreme state of development and change of things, and there is no room for transcendence, so its state is obvious, so it is called "it is easy to know" . It is difficult to know at the beginning because the beginning is the root; it is easy to know above because the top is the end, so it is called . "It is difficult to know at the beginning, but it is easy to know above, and it is the root and the end" . Because it is difficult to know at the beginning, the first position is often a concise word, rather than a affirmative statement, so it is called ", the first sentence is ". It is also because "the superior is easy to know", so the upper line words are mostly the final concluding statement, so it is called "the end of success" .
is difficult to know at the beginning, but it is easy to know at the top, but the most complex and active, and the most right and wrong is the middle line. The middle line involves various relationships and events between kings, harems, and civil and military ministers. Things are complicated and right and wrong are everywhere, so their virtues are revealed. The word "the middle line" means to distinguish right from wrong through various phenomena, constantly summarize and extract the character of the line, and then write it into its text, so it is called "If you write about virtues and distinguish right from wrong, then you will not be prepared by the line" .
The Book of Changes is a book. Its content includes two parts: pictures and text, and text is divided into scriptures and texts. The texts of the Book of Changes include Xiangci, Hexagram (Tu Ci) and Yao Ci. When reading the "Yi" you must first look at the hexagram to observe its images; secondly, look at its images and words, and use the great way of the hexagram from the perspective of the unity of heaven and man; then look at its hexagram (Tu Ci) to clarify the good and bad life of the entire hexagram; finally look at the line words of the six lines to understand the good and bad life of each line. The hexagram (Tu Ci) is mostly a judgment that indicates good or bad life. . The hexagram . The sitting can understand the good or bad life of the entire hexagram. Therefore, it is called . "Also, good or bad life, good or bad life, then you can know it" . When reading the "Yi" and seeing the hexagram (Tu Ci), you have already grasped the basic situation of the hexagram from a macro perspective. The next line to read is just to analyze the symbols and good fortune of the six lines in the hexagram from a micro perspective, so it is called . "If you know, you will think half of your thoughts when you look at the 未语" . Half of it is macroscopic thinking, and less than half of the remaining is microscopic thinking. The six positions of
have their own relationships with each other, not isolated. Compared with the two and four, the same point is that they are both soft positions, and those who are in the position regard soft positions as the position. The difference is that the two are in the harem, and the ones who hold the position are the king's family members; the four are in the throne, and the ones who hold the position are close ministers of the king, below one person and above ten thousand people. The relationship between family members in the harem and king is a blood relationship, which is innate; while close ministers generally have no blood relationship with kings, and their relationship is acquired. Therefore, it is called "Two and four have the same merit but different positions, and their goodness is different." . The so-called "same merit" means that the relationship is relatively close, and all regard softness as virtue and softness as the position. The so-called "the difference in goodness" means that the two people are blood relatives and relatives with the king, which is innate, so it is called "goodness"; while the close ministers generally have no blood relatives with the king, so it is called "the difference in goodness".
Which close ministers and harems are closer to the king? The relatives and kings in the harem are either in the same cushion or in the blood relationship. No matter how close the close ministers and kings are, they are not close to each other cushion and blood relationship. Therefore, the harem is close and the close ministers are far away. The close ministers accompany the king as if they are with a tiger, so they are more afraid; the relatives in the harem accompany the king as if they are mixed with honey, so they are more praiseful. Therefore, it is called "two many reputations, four many fears, and closeness" .If you are alienated, you will not be separated from relatives. No matter how close the close relatives of the close ministers and the kings are, they will not be close to each other in the harem relatives who have blood relationships or siding relationships with the kings. Therefore, close ministers cannot easily offend the relatives of the kings and the kings. Therefore, it is called "For softness is the way, but not favoring distantness, the key is no fault, and the use of softness is the middle" . The "those who are not good for far-reaching" here refers to the "those who are not good for the four close ministers, so they are "very afraid".
3 Three and five are the position of kings and three are the position of military officials. The similarity between the two is that they both take toughness as the position, and require decisiveness and decisiveness, so it is called "Three and five, the same merit but different positions" . The difference is that five are kings and three are ministers. The king is noble but the ministers are humble, and there are equal parts of noble and humble. If a warrior is in charge of military power, he will be afraid of the king and will cause disaster. Therefore, "three evils" . The ministers do not compete for merit with the king, especially the warriors cannot compete for merit with the king. The merits of the ministers should be classified as the merits of the king. Therefore, "Five Multiple Practices" . The fundamental reason for the three and many evils is that the king is noble and minister is inferior, and there are equality of noble and low, so it is called "Three and many evils, five and many good, and the equality of noble and low" . Five is the king, and three is the martial artist. If the king is gentle, he cannot be arbitrary. If the king has power, he will be indifferent. If the martial artist is gentle, he will still be indecisive, which is not conducive to military affairs and endanger the country. Therefore, it is called "Its softness is dangerous, but its hardness is better than evil?"
