【 Interpretation 】
Bagua can be divided into two categories according to their attributes, one is the Yang hexagram and the other is the Yin hexagram. Among them, the Yang hexagrams are Qian, Zhen, Kan, and Gen; the Yin hexagrams are Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui. From the family members represented by the Eight Trigrams, we can know that male is Yang and female is Yin. Therefore, Qian is the father in the Yang Trigrams, Zhen is the eldest male, Kan is the middle male, Gen is the young man; while Kun is the mother, Xun is the eldest daughter, Li is the middle female, and Dui is the young man.
Qian is pure yang, so it is the Yang hexagram; Kun is pure yin, so it is the Yin hexagram. This is easy to understand, no doubt. Excluding the Qian and Kun hexagrams, the other six hexagrams have a characteristic, that is, "Yang hexagram is more yin, and Yin hexagram is more yang", which is a confusing question, so it is called "Yang hexagram is more yin, and Yin hexagram is more yang, why is that?"
"Yi" refers to yang as the main thing, while yin as the follower. As the saying goes, "If there are thousands of people in the family, they are responsible for one person." Therefore, the person who is responsible for one person is the Yang hexagram, and the politics comes from many branches, and the person who is responsible for one is a pair of things but cannot be determined by one, which is the Yin hexagram. Therefore, it is called "Yang Gua is strange, Yin Gua is coupled" . Strange means unique, and can be determined by one. Couple means pairing, and the main players are evenly matched and cannot decide the outcome.
further explains its internal fundamental reasons and external fundamental manifestations in detail, that is, the Yang hexagram is one king and two people, one king leads and two people obeys. This is a normal way for a gentleman; while the Yin hexagram is two kings and one people, and two kings compete but cannot decide on one. If there are too many government orders, the people will be at a loss. This is an abnormal way for villains, so it is said: "Why is his virtue? Yang one king and two people, the way for gentlemen. Yin two kings and one people is the way for villains."
