No hexagram is a different hexagram, one of the sixty-four hexagrams in the "Book of Changes", and its code name is 0:7[1]. "No" (pǐ), not, negate. Denial is not necessarily a bad thing. The main hexagram of No hexagram is hexagram 0, hexagram Kun, and its guest hexagram is hexagram 7, hexagram Qian. The hexagram image of Kun hexagram is earth, and the hexagram image of Qian hexagram is sky. The earth receives the light and heat from the sky and nurtures the growth of all things, which is not a bad thing; however, everything on the earth must obey the changes of the sky and be controlled by the sky, and the earth's own individuality is denied. In the example of the relationship between host and guest, the earth symbolizes the host and the sky symbolizes the guest. The host must change in response to the guest. In the picture on the left, red indicates the correct line, sky blue indicates the inappropriate line, and the arrow indicates the appropriate line.

1 Yao Ci Structure Edit
The structure of the Fu hexagram and the hexagram Yao Ci
There are three harmonious relationships between yin and yang in the Fu hexagram, as shown by the arrows in the figure. These three harmonious relationships are all yin for the host and yang for the guest. However, not all are beneficial to the host.
The first harmonious relationship between yin and yang is the harmony between the first and fourth lines [1]. These two lines represent the actions of the host and the guest. The host is passive, the guest is proactive, and the host is passive by the guest. The other side controls, which is detrimental to the main side. These two lines are both sky blue in the picture. Sky blue means improper positioning, that is, the position of the lines is inappropriate. This is the first and fourth lines. If the yin and yang states of both parties are reversed, with the host being yang and the guest being yin, the host being positive and the guest being negative, it will be beneficial to the host. Therefore, as a matter of reasoning, the position of the first and fourth lines is called the yang position, which means that the yin line and are in the yang position [3], which is not the right position. Failure to respond appropriately will be detrimental to the host party.
The second type of yin and yang harmonious relationship is the harmony between the second and fifth lines. These two lines represent the quality of the host and the guest. If the host has poor quality and the guest has good quality, the host may learn from the guest's good quality. The qualities make up for the deficiencies, and this harmony is beneficial to the main party. Therefore, as a reasoning, the positions of the second and fifth lines are called the Yang position. They are shown in red in the figure. Yang Yao is in the Yang position and is in position. Being in position and responding accordingly will be beneficial to the host.
The third harmonious relationship between yin and yang occurs between the third and sixth lines. This is the line that represents the attitude of the host and the guest. The easy-going host is suppressed by the tough guest, which is detrimental to the host. This is also inappropriate and inappropriate, which is detrimental to the main party.
According to the regular changes [4], the host has reached the end of decline, and the guest has reached the peak of development. As time goes by, the host will have a new beginning, and the guest will begin to decline, and the host will be denied. When the time comes, the host should wait patiently.
Generally speaking, the negative hexagram indicates that the host is controlled and suppressed by the guest. However, the host and guest are in a state of complete harmony, relatively stable, and difficult to change the status quo. Moreover, the host can still get some benefits from the guest, so the host should Obey the customer, respect the customer, maintain the relatively comfortable status quo, benefit from it, and the situation will gradually improve.
uses "no" three times in the line. The second line of "No, my lord" means that the host should deny the attitude of thinking he is great; the fourth line shows that after executing orders and sharing blessings, the situation gradually improves; the fifth line of "No, my lord is lucky" means Don't deny it, act like a big shot. The "Qingbu" in the sixth line means that the state of being denied is completely reversed, "No first, then joy". After deleting some judgment words, the six lines are a complete prose poem with the theme of "no". The following is its translation:
is like pulling out soft grass, and the grass blades are gathered together;
bear everything and be a small person Geely, don't act like a big shot,
endures all humiliation,
executes orders and shares a blessing.
stop denying and consider yourself lucky as a big shot. Negation is ending, negation is ending, tightly tied in the mulberry bush.
The negation is overwhelming, first deny and then rejoice.
The hexagram comprehensively explains what the host should do under the current situation.
