One yin and one yang may change at any time, which is what we often call "change of fortunes" in our lives. Among the six lines, odd numbers are yang and even numbers are yin. If the 135th line is yang and the 246th line is yin, it is called in position, but if it is the other way around, it is called out of place. The six lines in Qian Gua are all yang lines, so it can be seen that the third line is out of place. So what should we pay attention to when dealing with problems when encountering out of place?
You see the second line 92 is to see the dragon in the field, but 92 you are not in the right position. Sometimes you go too far and the limelight is too strong, so you have to stop. You have to be gentler because you are not in the right position. If you lower your body a little, people say you are amazing. Wherever you say it is, everyone helps. People say you are very capable. He said Yes, I just happened to have this opportunity. If you come here, you will definitely do better than me. He said why are you so great? Without luck, we can see that we have a very clear concept, that is, if you are in the right position, you will be fine if you follow it.
Let’s look at the fourth line again. Is it jumping into the abyss? The fourth line is still out of place, because the fourth line should be Yin. Now your Yang is located there. When you reach the fourth line, you should know that the one above is the Ninth Five. It is the Ninth Five when you see it. What can I do if I don’t go up? Then you are asking for trouble.
The Chinese tell you very clearly that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although you are very proud, favored, and have opportunities when you accompany the big boss, you are in high danger because he is just like a tiger . He can be with you at any time. If you bite people, you have to be very careful, because everyone will come to you and ask for your help. As soon as you are tempted, the boss will doubt you. He will see it first if you do not do well, and he will not be able to see if the people below do not do well, let alone the ninth grade.
It’s you in the ninth level. If you don’t retreat when it’s time to retreat, and if you continue to take care of things after retreating, you’re asking for trouble. A strong dragon has regrets. Therefore, in each line, when yang changes to yin and yin changes to yang, it becomes a different hexagram. , when we look at a hexagram, we must look at these changing hexagrams at the same time, and then you can understand the meaning of the entire hexagram. The Qian hexagram cannot be extreme, and the integrity cannot be excessive. You must bow your head when you should bow your head, so we say "people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves."
You see, the threshold is like this. My door is only this high. You can grow as tall as you want. Come in and give it a try. You bow your head obediently. If you don’t bow your head, you will bump into it. You deserve it. When people come under the eaves, you still say that I am only this high. I will stand straight and I am about to enter. Don’t bow your head when you should bow your head. He is not soft when he should be soft, and he is not strong when he should be strong. There are too many people like this, and he has not even understood the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun.
Heaven is the way of heaven, reincarnation, so if a person does not move, he will have problems. If he does not move for a few days, there will be problems in the body. If he does not move for a long time, he will not be able to move. Therefore, after a person is sick and lies down for too long, it will be difficult for him to move again. Authentic, what is it? Authentic is soft and strong, but it is not completely soft. From soft to soft, it is very hard. "Earth to soft and hard" is not completely soft, so we usually talk about filial piety and filial piety. In fact, these two words are also very problematic. Honoring parents does not necessarily mean being filial. Even if your parents say something wrong, you have to obey them. That is unfilial. But if your parents are wrong, it is even more unfilial if you tell them to their face. So why do we start from the beginning of the "Book of Changes" this time? We want to use hexagrams to find a feasible way for the things we usually encounter. In the next unit, we will talk about "Earth to Softness and Strength"
