Nothing false, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen.The banditry is in trouble, and there is trouble in the future. "Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "Returning is not false, so I accept it as non-false." False is the opposite of sincerity, which means hypocrisy; non-false means not false, that is, according to the truth, it should be so naturally. In "Historical Records" and "Biography of Chun Shenjun", it is hopeless to write Wuwang without hope, which means that it is unexpected but it is so.This hexagram is a blessing beyond expectation; it also means that it must be so according to reason.

Judging from the change of hexagrams, the "nine two" and "sixth day" lines of the litigation hexagram have changed, becoming the Wuwang hexagram.The "nine two" of Litigation Hexagram is originally not correct, but it is correct when it is lowered to the first position, because this change, from virtual to real, is natural and reasonable; therefore, it is called Wuwang Hexagram.

Also, the inner hexagram "Zhen" means movement, and the outer hexagram "Qian" means health.The "ninth five" of this hexagram is vigorous and upright, and it corresponds to the "six two" of the inner hexagram.Such a dynamic and vigorous image is very auspicious, so greatness, prosperity, peace, and steadfastness are possessed of the four virtues, and one should expect unexpected blessings.However, if the motivation is not pure, there will be harm and no progress.

"Yuan" said: "There is no falsehood, just from the outside, but the master is from the inside."To move and be strong, to be firm and to respond, to be upright with a big "Heng" is the destiny of heaven. "Its bandits are right and wrong, and bad things are bad."What's the point of going without arrogance?Destiny is not blessed, so what?
Wuwang hexagram is the "nine two" of the lawsuit hexagram, which comes from the outer side to the first position and becomes the main line of the inner hexagram of Wuwang hexagram.The lower hexagram "Zhen" means movement, and the upper hexagram "Qian" means health, which symbolizes vigor in action; That's what the mission is.If there is a slight error, there will be harm, and it cannot be called innocent, which is not conducive to progress.If you go against the principle of innocence, go where you want to go. This is a violation of the mission of heaven, and you will not be blessed by heaven. Can you still act?

"Xiang" said: "Thunder and things are born in the world, there is no falsehood; the former king cultivated all things with the majesty of the time."In this hexagram, the upper hexagram "Qian" is the sky, and the lower hexagram "Zhen" is thunder. There is thunder moving under the sky. delusional.Therefore, the ancient emperors imitated this spirit, coordinated with the seasons, adapted to the different properties of all things, and raised all things naturally.

Ninth day of the lunar month: no falsehood, good luck.

"Xiang" says: "Going" of "no delusion" means attaining ambition.

The "ninth day of the first day" is masculine and is the main line of the inner hexagram.It turned out that the "ninth two" of the unjust hexagram fell to the first position and became the main body of the hexagram without delusion. Therefore, fortitude and no delusion are of course auspicious progress.Therefore, "Xiang Zhuan" said: You can achieve ambition.

This line shows that actions that are not hypocritical are bound to be beneficial.Sixty-two: If you don't plow and harvest, if you don't get gold, you will benefit.

"Xiang" said: "If you don't cultivate and harvest", you will not be rich. "Zhuojin" is a field one year after reclamation, and no grass has grown; "Jin" is a field two years after reclamation, and the geology has gradually softened; fields three years after reclamation are called new fields, which can already be harvested It's ripe.

"June [-]" is soft and upright, responds to the time of day, conforms to the law of heaven, and has no personal desires; therefore, be leisurely and contented, let everything take its course, and not force it.Hope and delusion combine, this kind of attitude without excessive desire is without delusion; therefore, do not expect that there will be harvest without plowing, and do not expect that the newly plowed field will have a bumper harvest.If a person expects too much harvest from his actions, he is delusional; if he lets nature take its course, but only seeks hard work and does not ask for harvest, then he can be called innocent.Therefore, "Xiang Zhuan" said: Cultivation is not expecting to be rich.This line shows that no absurdity means no extravagant expectations.Sixty-three: There is no calamity, or the ox that is tied, the gain of pedestrians.The disaster of the townspeople.

"Xiang" said: "Pedestrians" get "cows", and "people in the city are disasters".

The six lines of this hexagram are all Wuwang, but Wuwang does not necessarily have a good result. "Six Three" Yin Yao Yang position is not correct; therefore, there will be completely unreasonable and unimaginable disasters.Just like a cow tethered in a village is taken away by a walker, a person living in a nearby village is suspected of being a cow thief and suffers innocent injustice.

This line shows that not being hypocritical does not necessarily lead to good rewards.Ninth Four: You can be chaste, there is no blame.

"Xiang" said: "You can be chaste without blame", which is inherent. "Nine Fourth" is masculine, which is part of the upper hexagram "Qian", which is healthy, so it is vigorous. "Nine Fourth" has no corresponding in the next hexagram, which means that there is no personal contact.If you are so vigorous and selfless, you are innocent; if you follow the righteous path without falsehood, you are free from blame.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: This kind of virtue of adhering to the righteous way was originally there in the "September [-]th Movement".This line shows that being vigorous and selfless means not being hypocritical.

Ninth Five: There is no disease of delusion, and there is no medicine for joy.

"Xiang" said: "The medicine" of "No Arrogance" should not be tried. "Ninth Five-Year" is in the center of "Qian" in the upper hexagram. It is vigorous, upright, and respectful. It also corresponds to the "Six-two" in the lower hexagram.Possessing such virtues is not hypocritical, just like a healthy body does not get sick, does not need to take medicine, and is joyful.Otherwise, taking medicine without illness will become hypocrisy and delusion.Therefore, "Xiang Zhuan" said: There is no need to pretend to be innocent, just as there is no need to take medicine when there is no disease.

This line shows that not being pretentious is not being hypocritical.Upper Nine: No presumption, no deeds, no profit.

"Xiang" says: The "action" of "no presumption" is the disaster of poverty. "Shangjiu" is by no means a hypocritical delusion, but at the extreme point of the Wuwang hexagram, it encounters poverty and cannot move forward.If you try to be brave, you will become arrogant, harmful and not beneficial.

The "poor" mentioned in "Xiang Zhuan" means the end of the road.This line shows that not being brave is not being hypocritical.No false hexagrams, explaining the truth without hypocrisy.When everything returns to normal, it will return to the period of innocence, which is true and not false.Being not hypocritical is of course beneficial; but there is no guarantee that there will be good rewards, or even disasters.However, not to be hypocritical is the principle of nature and human nature; therefore, to conduct oneself in the world, one must be upright and selfless, not pretentious, not pushy, not have unreasonable extravagant expectations, not care about gains and losses, do what is right, and do what is right for me.Only then can we feel at ease.

A Comprehensive Overview of Wuwang Gua
[Meaning] Prevent fallacies—follow the right path, and make a path by yourself.

[Gua Yi] No hypocrisy, no blindness, no rash actions.

[Introduction] Doing nothing, doing nothing, doing nothing, means abandoning past expectations, reservations, plans, and schemes and following the will of nature.Close to Lao Tzu's natural way of doing nothing.The so-called hopelessness refers to unexpected and unexpected things, completely relying on the laws of nature, and will not waver even when encountering unexpected things.Remain calm and accept it.Of course, this is different from negativity, when it comes to floods or droughts.The heart of the farmer who works silently and never leaves the land, and the mother who endures hard work and raises her children.In addition, scholars in the Song Dynasty interpreted absurdity as falsehood and fraud, so "no arrogance"

It can be interpreted as sincerity and truth.

[Guaint Meaning] The upper hexagram stems as the sky, the lower hexagram shakes as thunder, and the world thunders, and the yang energy is vigorous, agitating all things.The combination of yin and yang creates all things according to the law.The hexagram is meant to remind people.Doing things in accordance with objective laws can nourish all things.

[Structural model] Do not act rashly, do not act rashly, stick to the right way, avoid disasters caused by rashness, do not seek personal gain, act in accordance with the times, and be free from falsehoods (no hypocrisy).

[Yin and Yang] Four yang and two yin.

[Position] The [-]st and [-]th Yaos are in the yang position, which is positive, and the [-]nd Yaos are in the yin position, which is positive.The three lines, four lines and six lines are not right.

[Status] If it is correct, it will bring blessings, but if it is crooked, it will cause disaster.

[Hexagram Image] The upper hexagram is dry, the lower hexagram is thunder, and the lower hexagram is thunder. It is a symbol of yin and yang gathering, yang qi flourishing, and the agitation and change of all things. However, it should follow the right path to develop in a good direction.

[Thinking mode] The hexagrams remind people to face the new things that are stimulated by yang energy, and the principles they should master:
(1) Act according to the law and not act recklessly.

(2) Go with the flow and keep your feet on the ground.

(3) The timing is unfavorable, so don't act rashly.

(4) Adhere to purity and be calm in the face of disasters.

(5) Know your fate with optimism, and respond to all changes with the same.

[Philosophical Enlightenment] Explains the principle that everything follows the law, does not act rashly, does not hypocrisy, and walks along the right path to be auspicious.Only "the righteous way in the world is the vicissitudes of life".

[Decision-making thinking] Correctly formulating realistic goals and measures must be safe and sound.According to one's own environment, follow the trend and not have unreasonable thoughts beyond reality. Everything must be down-to-earth and cannot be forced, otherwise you will suffer failure.
