I Ching vernacular full translation

Chapter 48
The rising hexagram is composed of Xia Xun and Shang Kun. The hexagram is shaped as "", which symbolizes "rising".The upper hexagram "Kun" is the earth, the lower hexagram "Xun" is the wind, and there is also the image of "wood": trees grow out of the ground, and they rise steadily, implying the meaning of "rising".The whole hexagram indicates the principle that things rise with the trend, and the accumulation of small things becomes big.

Sheng: Yuanheng, use it to see adults, don't sympathize.Nan Zhengji.

The translation of the rising hexagram symbolizes ascension: very prosperous, you will be supported and appointed by the king, don't worry, and you will get good luck if you go south.

Interpretation of "Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "The one who collects gathers together. The one who gathers and rises is called ascension, so he receives it to ascend." The general idea is that the accumulation of things must increase, and the height must go upward, so "extraction" is followed by "ascension". .Secondly, from the perspective of hexagrams.The lower body of the Sheng hexagram is sunda, which is the wood, and the upper body is kun, which is the earth. The wood is underground, and it must grow and increase day by day. This is the natural law of the development of things.No wonder the words of the Sheng hexagram are very auspicious.It is of course very prosperous that things are in a stage where things are bound to rise according to objective laws.From the perspective of personnel affairs, a sage is on the rise, his intelligence and morality have been greatly developed, and he will definitely be appointed by the country. He has no worries about failing to achieve his ambition. auspicious.The rising hexagrams and hexagrams really give people a feeling of smoothness, carelessness, and prosperity, which makes us fully appreciate the joy of seedlings breaking out of the ground and growing into pillars.It can be seen that the author of "Book of Changes" has given infinite sustenance and good wishes to the rise of obedience to objective laws.

"Yuan" says: Softness rises with time, obedience leads to obedience, and firmness responds to it, so it is "prosperous", "use it to see adults, don't pity it", there is celebration. "Southern Zhengji", Zhixing also.

The translation "Zhuan Zhuan" says: ascend in a timely manner in a gentle way, be in harmony with emotion and naturalness, and be able to ascend to the venerable with masculinity in the middle, so it is very prosperous.Don't worry if you are supported and appointed by the princes and lords, it means that there will be blessings when you go up at this time; if you go south, you will get auspiciousness, which means that the aspiration to go up can be carried out smoothly.

Interpreting the ascending hexagram is the way to be gentle and rise in time.The so-called timely means that according to the specific conditions, the promotion can be promoted, and the promotion cannot be promoted. The "softness rises with time" mentioned in "Zhuan Zhuan" just explains this truth. "Xun Ershun" is the upper and lower hexagrams to further explain the principle of "softness rises with time".The lower body of the rising hexagram is Xun, and its hexagram virtue is human; the upper body of Kun, its hexagram virtue is smooth. "Xun Ershun" means that the way of ascent should be in line with the reason of things and conform to the objective conditions, that is to say, "ascend with the time", if it is not in line with the reason of things and violates the objective conditions, it cannot be promoted.It doesn't matter whether it is a rigid line, a soft line, or other things, as long as it rises according to the trend and "according to the time", it is in line with the development law of things, and it must be prosperous without hindrance. "Yi tycoon" in "Zhuan Zhuan" is the summary of these few words.

"Elephant" says: Wood grows in the ground and rises.A gentleman is Shunde, and a small one is tall.

The translation "Xiang Zhuan" says: The outer hexagram of this hexagram is Kun, and Kun is the earth; the inner hexagram is Xun, and Xun is wood.It can be seen that the wood is planted in the ground, which is the hexagram image of the ascending hexagram.A gentleman observes this hexagram, thereby following morality and righteousness, strengthening self-cultivation, starting from a small place, and gradually cultivating noble character.

Interpretation of the rising hexagram Xun Xia Kun Shang, Xun is wood, Kun is the ground, wood grows in the ground, and it is small, so it symbolizes ascent.Growing from a young and tender sapling to a large tree with luxuriant branches and leaves is a process that accumulates over time and gradually.A gentleman observes this hexagram and realizes that in terms of morality and cultivation, he must follow his virtues, be neither impetuous nor rebellious, and act according to the times, but also accumulate bit by bit, and then he can rise from small to great.Xunzi said it well: "If you accumulate soil to form a mountain, the wind and rain will rise; There is no way to form rivers and seas."

Sixth day: Yunsheng, good luck.

"Xiang" said: Yunsheng, Daji, Shanghezhi also.

Translation: The sixth day of the lunar month: It is suitable for rising, which is very auspicious.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: It is auspicious to be suitable for ascending, which shows that the sixth day of the sixth day of ascending the second sun is consistent with the ambition of ascending.

Interpretation If the body of the rising hexagram has the image of a rising tree in the ground, then the sixth day of the lunar month is the root of the tree. "Zhuan Zhuan" says that "softness rises with time", and its starting point is the sixth day of junior high school.Tree roots absorb the nutrients and water in the ground and naturally grow upwards, which is an inevitable law of the development of things.There is this metaphor on the sixth day of the lunar new year, which shows that he is in a good time to rise, so the line says that on the sixth day of the new year, "Allow to ascend, good luck".This point has been explained in "Xiang Zhuan": "Yun Sheng is auspicious, and Shanghe Zhi also." Although the sixth day of the first day does not correspond to the fourth day of June, it has a corresponding response to the two Yang lines of ninety-two and ninety-three. The nourishment of qi, the vigorous growth, and the support of the two yangs, and their combined aspirations, how can there be any obstacles?
Ninety-two: Fu Nai used 禴, no fault.

"Xiang" said: "The Fu of Ninety-two, there is joy."

Translation [-]: As long as you have integrity in your heart, even a simple sacrifice is beneficial to the gods, and there is no harm.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Ninety-two with integrity will bring joy.

Interpreting Cui hexagram [-] Youfu Yushang means that he and the [-]th "get together for righteousness", based on integrity, rather than forming cliques for self-interest, so we trust each other and avoid extravagant gifts and empty words.The ninety-two of the ascending hexagram has Fu Yushang for the sake of ascending.Originally, the nine-two is strong and the six-five is soft, and there is no problem in ascending. The "Zhuan Zhuan" also said that "the sun is smooth, and the hard is responsive, so you are a tycoon", but the nine-two is extremely cultivated. The minister is a weak monarch, and he must avoid the doubts of the Liuwu gentle monarch, so he pays special attention to using a sincere heart to understand the Liuwu without embellishments, just like offering sacrifices, "Fu is using 禴".Of course, if you can do this in [-], you will be "no blame".This is mainly because the nine-two is in the middle, the hard is in the soft position, and the hard and soft are combined, so things can be done well.Jiuer has integrity in his heart, and if he is promoted by this, he will surely fulfill his wish. Therefore, "Xiang Zhuan" says "Jiuer's Fu, there is joy."The "youxi" here is the "youqing" in "Zhuan Zhuan" that "use it to see adults, don't sympathize with it, and have celebrations".Jiu Er seeks to be promoted to the top with sincerity, and he will be appointed by Liu Wu, the king. In this way, there is no need to worry anymore, and he can let go to do a great cause, so "youxi" and "youqing".

Nine three: Shengxuyi.

"Xiang" said: "Ascension to Xuyi, there is no doubt."

Translation Ninety Three: Ascent is as smooth as entering an uninhabited city.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Ascent is as smooth as entering an uninhabited city, which shows that Jiusan is courageous and has no doubts.

Interpreting yang as reality and yin as emptiness, Jiusan uses masculinity to be in the upper six and ascends to Kun, so using "ascension to the empty city" as a metaphor, it is said that Jiusan rises rapidly, like entering a city with no one.Jiusan is brave to move forward, fearless, and much more refreshing than Jiuer, so the ascent is unimpeded, such as "Shengxuyi". Even "Xiang Zhuan" also said that Jiusan "has no doubts."Ninety-three and ninety-two have different time positions.Jiusan just took the position, has the quality of acting decisively, and should be in Shangliu, and Shangliu has no doubts about Jiusan, and has the objective conditions to move forward boldly.But Jiusan's advantage has also become his disadvantage. He is just too young, so his future is hard to determine. It all depends on whether he can grasp himself in the future.

June Fourth: Wang Yongheng was in Qishan.Kyrgyzstan, no fault.

"Xiang" said: "Wang Yong prospered in Qishan, and things went well."

Translation Six Fourth: The king sacrifices to the gods in Qishan, which is auspicious and free from harm.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: The king worshiped the gods in Qishan, which shows that June Fourth acted in accordance with the situation of things.

Interpreting June Fourth has its own difficulties.Ascension hexagram Liuwu is the supreme monarch, and Liusi, as a close minister of Liuwu, can no longer be promoted in official position and status. If he is promoted again, he will be suspected of being overwhelmed. But when he is on the rise, June Si cannot do nothing , which creates a contradiction.Fortunately, June Fourth was compliant and upright, and was able to properly handle the contradiction between my status and promotion.The promotion of June [-]th all lies in the word "shun", everything is done in accordance with the law of development of things, the progress of the people is followed by the people, the promotion of the king is followed by the emperor, and one's sincere heart reaches the June [-]th, this is the promotion.If you can do this, you can get auspiciousness without harm.This is exactly what Yao Ci means.Qishan was in the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty. At the end of the Yin Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou, who "served Yin in two-thirds of the world", wanted to show his obedience to Yin.

Sixth Five-Year: Zhenji, promotion.

"Xiang": Zhenji, promotion, great success.

Translation Six and Five: Keep upright and solid to obtain auspiciousness, and ascend the steps to attain honor.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Keeping upright and solid can lead to auspiciousness, and ascending the steps to ascend to the position of honor shows the ambition to rise after the Sixth Five-Year National Congress.

Interpretation of "upgrade" means ascending the steps to the position of the emperor.The ascending hexagram starts from the sixth day of the sixth day, and rises to the honorable position on the sixth day of the fifth day, which greatly fulfills its ambition to rise. Therefore, "Xiang Zhuan" also says that the sixth day of the fifth year is "great achievement".But the sixth five is a feminine quality, and you must keep upright and solid to get "auspicious" and "promote", so the first commandment of the line is "zhenji". The admonition of "Zhenji" is really well-intentioned.Liu Wu, as a soft king, must be assisted by the masculine ninety-two to combine strength and softness, and create the great cause of "upgrading".But Liu Wu must stick to this way without hesitation. If you don’t believe in a good official like Jiu Er, and don’t use it to the end, you will not get "good luck" and your ambition to "promote" will not be realized.

Upper Six: Ascension of the Ming Dynasty is beneficial to the endless chastity.

"Xiang" said: If the spirit ascends above, you will not be rich if you disappear.

The first six in the translation: the rise of ignorance is conducive to the non-stop maintenance of righteousness.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: When you are ignorant and rise to the top, you should try your best to self-destroy and make it dissatisfied.

Interpretation of the upper six ascends in the extreme with femininity, and those who do not understand the principle that ascending to the extreme must descend, are ignorant, so the ascending of the upper six is ​​"mind ascending".Since it is "Mingsheng", there should be blame, but the line does not say "fierce", but says "beneficial to the endless chastity", it seems that if the upper sixth can stick to it and stop rising, it can still be exonerated.Therefore, "Xiang Zhuan" said: "When the Ming rises above, you can't get rich if you disappear." It is required that the upper six should not pretend to be full and prosperous, but should be self-destructive, so that they will not be "rich" and dissatisfied with prosperity.Otherwise, if you continue to generate interest, you will turn from ascending to its opposite.
