I Ching vernacular full translation

Chapter 19 Suigua
Sui Gua is composed of lower shock and upper exchange, and the shape of the hexagram is "", which symbolizes "follower".The upper hexagram is turned into a lake, and the lower hexagram is shaken as thunder: just like the sound of thunder in a big marsh, the marsh moves with the thunder, which means "followers".The whole hexagram shows that when things are "following", no matter whether people follow themselves, oneself follow others, the bottom follows the top, and the top follows the bottom, the basic principles of "following the good" and "following the righteousness" should be followed.

Sui: Yuanheng, Lizhen, Wugui.

"Yuan" said: "Follow, just come and go down softly, move and speak."Sui, tycoon, chastity without blame, and the world at any time, at any time, is so righteous!
"Elephant" says: There is thunder in the lake, follow.The gentleman enters the banquet with Xiang Hui.

The translation Sui hexagram symbolizes the entourage: it is most prosperous, it is beneficial to stick to the right way, and there is no fault.

"Tuan Zhuan" says: Sui Gua: The lower hexagram is Zhen, Zhen is rigid, the upper hexagram is Dui, and Dui is soft. The subjects are willing to obey, so the hexagram is called Sui.Sui Gua has the virtues of grandness, beauty, benefit, and integrity, so there is no fault.Everything in the world depends on doing it at any time, and "at any time" means a lot!

"Xiang Zhuan" said: The lower hexagram of this hexagram is earthquake, the earthquake is thunder, the upper hexagram is dui, and dui is lake; when thunder enters the lake, the earth is cold and everything is dormant, which is the hexagram image of Sui hexagram.When a gentleman observes this hexagram, he takes the law from the thunder that is silent at any time in the sky, works and rests at any time, and enters the room to rest at night.

It is interpreted that there is thunder in the lake, the thunder shakes in the lake, and the lake moves with the thunder, which has the image of "following".Day and night appear alternately. In daily life, one must work tirelessly during the day; at night, one should go to the house to have a rest. When and what to do, this is called any time.The little things of daily life should be talked about at any time, let alone other important things.

Ninth day: The official has Yu, Zhenji.Go out and pay meritorious service.

"Xiang" said: "Officials have Yu, and they follow Zhengji."Going out to make meritorious service is not lost.

Translation Ninth Day: Able to change one's thoughts and concepts at any time, subdue oneself to follow others, as long as one can stick to the right way, one can get auspiciousness.Moreover, it combines hardness with softness, and the combination of hardness and softness, so when it goes out to socialize, it will surely gain merit.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: "Those who can change their thoughts and concepts at any time on the ninth day of the lunar new year and bend themselves to follow others, this is why they can change the good and become good, and get auspiciousness."And if he goes out to socialize, he will surely gain meritorious service, which shows that he will not miss the person he should follow.

Interpretation As long as you master your own principles, adapt appropriately, and adapt to others, you can get auspiciousness. "Going out" is a metaphor, which is used to show that the object of friendship is not private, but the person who should be accompanied.

Sixty-two: I am a kid, I lost my husband.

"Xiang" said: "It's a kid, and it's also good for you."

Translation Sixty-two: Obey the boy below, lose the man above.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: "Yi Xiaozi, it shows that June [-] can't get close friends from multiple parties at the same time."

Interpretation From a theoretical point of view, when a person is "following", it is impossible for a person to follow both a gentleman and a villain.Even if it is feasible for a while, in the final analysis, you will follow the villain and lose the gentleman.The so-called fish and bear's paw can't have both, and everything that follows, if you follow the evil, you will lose the right, and if you follow the evil, you will lose the good. This has been the truth since ancient times.

Liusan: It is the husband, answer the boy.Get what you want.Li Juzhen.

"Elephant" says: If you are a husband, you will give up your ambitions.

Translation six three, obey the big man above, lose the boy below.Follow what people ask for, and it will help you live in peace and maintain integrity.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Obedience to the big man above shows that Liu San intends to abandon the boy below.

If there is something to gain from interpretation, there must be something to give up, and everything follows this dialectical law.But be careful not to ask for what you don't deserve or get what you don't deserve when communicating and following.

Ninth Four: Follow what you get, chastity and fierceness.Youfu is in the way, to understand, what's the blame?
"Xiang" said: "If there is something to gain, its righteousness will be fierce."There is Fu in the way, and Ming Gong is also.

Translation Ninety-Four: Being followed by others will bring you something, and you must keep upright to prevent evil.If you have integrity in your heart, follow the righteous path, and do things openly, what harm is there?

"Xiang Zhuan" said: being followed by others and gaining something, from the meaning of the position of the September [-]th Movement, it is dangerous.Being honest and in line with the righteous way is the effect of doing things openly and aboveboard.

Interpretation is followed by people and its reputation is growing day by day, but this is a dangerous time. In order to prevent disasters caused by overshadowing the master, the best way is to be honest and upright in doing things, so that people can understand their hard work and painstaking efforts.

Ninth Five: Fu Yujia, auspicious.

"Xiang" said: Fu Yujia, auspicious, is also in the right place.

Translation Nine Five, sincerely follow good words and do good deeds, auspicious.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Sincerely follow the good words and good deeds, it is auspicious, because the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is in the middle, like people keep the right way.

Interpretation of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is masculine and upright, high in the honorable position, and above the six, there is an image of masculinity and modesty under the feminine, just like the honorable person can treat others with integrity, and with integrity, he can respond to the good and sages in the world, so he gets auspicious.

Upper Six: To arrest them is to follow them.Wang Yongheng lived in Xishan.

"Xiang" said: If you arrest him, you will be poor.

Translation [-]: Detain him tightly, tie him up and force him to follow him, or go to his secluded Western Hills to host a banquet to invite him.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: being bound and detained, because the end of the upper six houses and one hexagram is like a person in a poor situation.

The interpretation of Sui Gua focuses on the purpose of positive follow-up in interpersonal relationships.Sui hexagrams and six lines, among them, the ninth day is just below the soft, and the ninth day is the middle and upright, which can best embody the righteous way of "following" to do good deeds wholeheartedly; Keeping upright can prevent evil, or being restrained can be upright.In short, this hexagram has both positive and negative aspects.Reflecting the pros and cons and corresponding countermeasures of the behavior of "following" from various angles is the precious crystallization of the ancients' experience in self-cultivation.
