I Ching vernacular full translation

Chapter 60
The Dui hexagram is composed of "Dui" at the top and bottom, and the shape of the hexagram is "", which symbolizes "Xinyue".The hexagram image is intended to connect the two lakes and infiltrate each other, implying the meaning of "joyful" things.The whole hexagram reveals the joy and joy of things in certain environments and conditions, as well as the principle of "pleasure" in the right place.

Exchange: Heng.Li Zhen.

The translated hexagram symbolizes harmony and joy: prosperity is conducive to keeping the right path.

Interpretation of "Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "The exchanger said it." Speaking means joy, which means joy and harmony.The image of Dui is Ze, "Zhou Yi Zheng Zheng" said: "Ze is used to moisten all things, so all things are said (joy); when it is applied to human affairs, it is like a king who nourishes the people with kindness, and all the people say (joy)." Yue It is the way to prosperity, but it is not possible to achieve prosperity by seeking pleasure casually. If you do not seek it in the right way, but to satisfy your own selfish desires, you will fall into flattery.In a secluded place.Therefore, the admonishment of the hexagrams is "Lizhen", which points out that harmony and prosperity are beneficial to uprightness.Adhering to the right way is the general principle of behavior when living in harmony. If you violate this principle, you will not only fail to prosper, but you will also have to regret it.

"Yuan" said: Dui, say it.Hard in the middle but soft on the outside, it is said to be "benevolent and chaste", which means that it is in line with the sky and responds to people.Speaking of the ancestors, the people forget their labor.It is said that it is a disaster, and the people forget its death.If you say so much, the people will persuade you.

The translation "Zhuan Zhuan" says: Dui means Yue.The masculinity is in the center and the softness is on the outside, which is enough to make people live in harmony and help to keep the right way. Therefore, the real joy is in accordance with the righteousness of heaven and the righteousness of people's hearts.If the king guides the people to move forward with the spirit of being in harmony with the people, then even if the people are struggling, the people will be able to work hard and forget their hardships. The people can also see death as home without avoiding hardships and dangers.How great is the meaning of harmony and joy, which can make the people work hard for themselves!

Interpretation of Dui means joy.The upper and lower bodies of the Dui hexagram are both in the middle of the rigid line, so they are called "rigid middle", and the upper and lower bodies are both in the upper position of the soft line, so they are also called "soft outside".Masculinity is in the middle, and there is an image of honesty and non-hypocrisy in the center, while femininity is on the outside, which symbolizes softness and submissiveness in dealing with people but not roughness.Being honest but not hypocritical, treating people submissively but not rudely, of course brings joy to people, and everyone gets along in harmony, so they are omnipotent. "First people" means to lead the people forward.It says that if you can get along with the people with sincerity and joy and lead them forward, then the enthusiasm of the people can be fully mobilized. When the people are needed to contribute, the people will forget their work. , the people will forget their death. Confucius, the author of "Zhuan Zhuan", actually brilliantly expounded the principle of getting along between the ruler and the ruled here. "Toil" and "death", as far as human nature is concerned, try to avoid it, but if the ruler can treat people equally and get along with the people in harmony, the people will forget their work and death, without regrets or complaints. It can be seen that the meaning of harmony is It is so grand, so Confucius said with emotion: "It is so great that the people persuade it!" There is a fundamental difference between asking me to do it and what I want to do, to persuade the people and to persuade the people themselves.

"Elephant" said: Li Ze, Dui.A gentleman teaches with friends.

The translation "Xiang Zhuan" says: The original hexagram is the overlapping of two pairs, and the exchange is a lake, the two lakes are connected, and the exchange of two waters is the hexagram of the Dui hexagram.A gentleman observes this hexagram, thereby making friends, teaching and exploring, and spreading knowledge.

It is interpreted that the upper and lower bodies of the Dui hexagram are Dui, and Dui is Ze, and Ze cannot overlap each other, so it is called "Lize", which means that the two Ze are attached to each other.The two lakes are attached to each other, infiltrate each other, and benefit each other, which is the image of harmonious coexistence.The gentleman imitates the image of the two zes and beauties infiltrating and nourishing each other, and gathers friends to give lectures and learn from each other.The ancients believed that learning alone without friends would be ignorant, so they have always attached importance to friends living together to teach morality, emphasizing "not ashamed to ask questions", so "Shangshu?It is said in Zhonghui Zhigao: "If you ask questions, you will be rich, but if you use it yourself, you will be small."

Ninth day: Hedui, auspicious.

"Xiang" said: "Hedui's auspiciousness, there is no doubt about it."

Ninth day of the translation: Be kind to others, auspicious.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: "Being kind to others can lead to auspiciousness, which shows that there is no doubt about the correct behavior on the ninth day of the ninth day."

Interpretation: In the ninth day of the lunar new year, the sun lives under the sun, and there is nothing to do, and it can be smooth at any time, and it seems to be kind to others.Treating people kindly is only one aspect, and the hexagrams have pointed out that the time of exchange is conducive to keeping the right way.On the ninth day of the ninth day of the lunar new year, it is auspicious, on the one hand, it is because of being kind and pleasant to others, and on the other hand, it is also because of its masculinity.If you are masculine, you will not behave evilly, and if you are upright, you will behave properly.In this way, there is nothing wrong with Chu Jiu's actions, and there is nothing to be suspicious of, so of course it will be auspicious.

Ninety-two: Fudui, auspicious, regretful death.

"Xiang" said: Fu Dui's auspiciousness, faith and ambition.

Translation Ninety-two: Be sincere, treat people with kindness, auspiciousness, and regrets disappear.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Treating people with sincerity and joy and getting auspiciousness shows that the thought of [-] is honest and firm.

Both the [-]nd and the [-]th day are "auspicious", but the situation in [-] seems to be more difficult than that of the [-]th day.In the ninth day of the ninth day, the masculinity is upright; and it is far away from the feminine and villainous people in the sixth day, so it is pleasant and upright, and its behavior is beyond doubt. It is easy and natural to get good luck.Ninety-two is different. Nine-two takes yang as yin, and faces the flattery of Liusan, a soft and gentle villain, and regrets being out of position and upright.Fortunately, since [-], he was just in the middle, trustworthy and trustworthy. He had the virtue of being honest and honest. regret death".It is not easy to really get along with people.First of all, you must be honest, get along with others with integrity, and don't try to please others with flattery; at the same time, you must be alert to others' flattery and evil temptations, and guard yourself with integrity.To do both, the mind must always be faithful and firm.It is precisely because the [-] thought is unwavering and can stand the test, so "Xiang Zhuan" says that [-] is "faithfulness".

Six three: Laidui, fierce.

"Xiang" said: "The evil of Laidui is due to improper position."

Translation Six Three: It is dangerous to come to seek harmony.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: It is dangerous to come to seek harmony, which shows that Liusan's position is not right.

Interpretation of Liu San is not to get along with people with integrity, but to please people with flattery.Six-three uses Yin to place Yang.Pleasure has its own way, and you can't ask for it deliberately.If you don't have the virtue of integrity in your heart and put on a flattering smile on the surface to please others, this is flattery and evil seeking, and there must be danger.Those who were just upright in the ninth day of junior high school and those who were just in middle school in the second year of ninety-two were all decent people, and they would not talk to Liu San.And the reason why Liusan is evil and sycophantic is precisely because he is not in the right position. "Xiang Zhuan" said that "the evil of Laidui is due to improper position", which is indeed true, because improper position will lead to improper behavior, and improper behavior will lead to danger.

Ninety-Four: Business exchange is not peaceful, Jieji is happy.

"Xiang" said: The joy of September [-]th, there is also celebration.

Translation Ninety-Four: Shang Du thinks about harmonious things and feels very restless in his heart. If he can cut off the femininity and hate the evil, it will be a good omen.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: The auspicious omen of September [-]th is because of the merits of helping the country, which is worth celebrating.

Interpreting the respect of the ninety-four and the ninety-five, the inferior is compared with the Liusan's sycophant, but he himself is just in the soft position, just able to keep upright, but the soft is not firm, so it is difficult to accept Liusan's flattery and courteousness, or to go up to the ninety-five Wu's masculinity, he can't make up his mind for a while, and his inner struggle is fierce and he can't calm down. This is what Yao Ci said, "Shang Dui Wei Ning." Draw a clear line with Liusan, separate Liusan, and prevent him from going beyond himself to confuse the Ninety-Five Supreme Being, and abhor Liusan's femininity and evilness. It is a sign of joy to be able to do this on September [-]th, so Yao Ci It is also said that in September [-]th, there is happiness in Jieji.It is gratifying for Jiusi to be able to cut off femininity, hatred and evil, which shows that he is no longer troubled by doubts and has returned to true harmony, but the position of Jiusi shows that Jiusi not only It belonged to himself, and at the same time belonged to the country, because he was in the position of a minister close to the emperor, so that the September [-]th disaster was able to help the country, and his personal joy became a national celebration.September [-] was able to defeat the self, so it was "joyful", and it was able to make contributions to the country, so it was "celebrating".From "Youxi" to "Youqing" is the sublimation from the small self to the big self.It can be seen that the "Book of Changes" puts national interests above personal interests.

Ninth Five-Year: Fu Yu stripping, there is fierce.

"Xiang" said: Fu Yu stripping, the position is right.

Translation Nine Five: There is danger in trusting a femininity who strips away masculinity.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: trusting the feminine villain who strips the masculinity shows that the Ninth Five-Year Plan is in a position where it is easy to be exploited by the villain.

Interpretation of the Nine Fives is masculine, which is in the respected position, and it is almost neutral, but we should not take it lightly when it comes to getting along with each other in harmony, because the Nine Fives are compared to the upper six Yins.Shangliu is an evil and evil person who has no other connections and is exclusively attached to Jiuwu. He uses clever words and tricks to hide his evil intentions and lure Jiuwu to trust him in order to deprive Jiuwu of his masculinity.Ninth Five-Year, if you really believe in villains, accept their flattery, and indulge in unreasonable joy and joy, you are undoubtedly building a road for yourself that leads to death.The Ninth Five-Year Plan is in a respectful position and is the most easily deceived, just like "Warring States Policy?In "Qi Ce" "Zou Ji satirizes the king of Qi accepting remonstrance", Zou Ji said: "There is no court lady who is not private to the king, no minister in the court is not afraid of the king, and there is no one in the four realms who does not seek the king. From this point of view, the king is poor. It’s too much.” It’s easy to be deceived when you are in a respectful position, and the ninth five is precisely compared to the upper six, and it is precisely in a position that is easy to be cut off by villains, which is the meaning of "the position is right".

Upper Six: Yindui.

"Xiang" said: "The upper six Yindui, Weiguang also."

Translation [-]: Seduce others to be harmonious.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Shangliu lures others to be harmonious and happy, which shows that Shangliu's way of harmony and joy is not upright.

Interpretation of the first six is ​​a person who is extremely yin and evil.His harmfulness lies not only in his evil and injustice, but also in the fact that he hides the evil intention of cutting the sun with his smooth words and tricks, and uses flattery to lure others to get along with him in order to realize his conspiracy. "Xiang Zhuan" clearly pointed out that "yindui" is not an aboveboard practice.Flattery and flattery have existed in ancient times, and the ancients were very clear about their harm.
