up and down
Heng, Heng, no blame, Lizhen, profit has you.Turn the Xian hexagram upside down to become the Heng hexagram.Each other is a "comprehensive hexagram", the feeling is short-term, long-term and long-term, and the temporary and the long-term are used for each other.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "The way of a couple cannot be short-lived, so it is persevering; the persevering is long-lasting." "Constant" means constant and eternal.The lower hexagram "Xun" symbolizes the eldest daughter; the upper hexagram "Zhen" symbolizes the eldest son.The Xian hexagram is that men are below women, and women are superior to men, which symbolizes the principle of mutual interaction between men and women, and yin and yang, so it is named "Heng".Occupying this hexagram, as long as you have perseverance and stick to your will, you will be able to prosper.But the motivation must be pure and continuous in order to be successful.

"彖" says: "Eternal, long time."As soon as it goes up, it goes down under the mulberry, thunder and wind meet each other, and it moves when it is sunken, and it responds to both hardness and softness, and it is constant. "Hengheng has no blame, Lizhen"; longer than its way, the way of heaven and earth.Eternal and not self.There is a future for profit, and there is a beginning for the end.The sun and the moon can shine for a long time.The four seasons change and can be achieved for a long time, the sage is in his way for a long time and the world is transformed; if you look at its permanence, you can see the love of the world and all things!

Huan means long.The upper hexagram "Zhen" is the "Yang hexagram", and the lower hexagram "Xun" is the "Yin hexagram". Therefore, it is common sense for couples to say that the upper part is firm but the lower part is soft, that is, men are superior to women.Also, the upper hexagram "Zhen" is thunder, and the lower hexagram "Xun" is wind. Thunder and wind support each other, thunder rides on the wind, and the wind is strengthened by thunder; "" and "four", "two" and "five", "three" and "shang" all correspond to rigidity and softness, which is also common sense, and they all symbolize eternity.

If there is persistence, there must be success, so prosperity will not have disasters.But it must be based on the premise of maintaining purity to be beneficial; that is to say, what you insist on must be the right way, just like the principles of heaven and earth, because of their purity, they will last forever and continue endlessly.Therefore, there is no harm in everything, just like the sun and the moon, following the laws of nature, can illuminate all things for a long time; the four committees follow the laws of nature, can change forever and generate all things; sages always adhere to the right way, and can educate the world and establish order.As long as you observe this eternal truth, you can discover the true feelings of everything in the world!
"Xiang" said: "Thunder wind, constant, it is not easy for a gentleman to stand."The upper hexagram "Zhen" is thunder, and the lower hexagram "Xun" is wind. Thunder and wind are constantly moving and mutually reinforcing, symbolizing permanence.A gentleman should imitate this spirit. Although he can adapt to the situation in his daily actions, the principle of self-reliance must be adhered to, and the principles of Founder must not be changed.

The sixth day of the sixth day: Junheng, virtuous, and without profit.

"Xiang" said: "Junheng"'s "fierce" begins to seek depth. "Jun" means deep. "The sixth day" corresponds to the "nine fourth", and it is common sense that yin and yang correspond.The next hexagram "Xun" is entering; therefore, "the sixth day" will definitely pursue deeply.But "Nine Fourth" is the only yang line in the upper hexagram, that is, the main body of the upper hexagram, and the "shock" of the upper hexagram is movement, so the strong "nine fourth" strives for the upper hand and ignores the "sixth day".What's more, the "sixth day" is at the bottom, and there are two Yang lines "nine two" and "nine three" in the middle.Under such circumstances, although it corresponds to the "September [-]th Movement", if you are desperate and insist on going deep, even if your motives are pure, there will be dangers, and it will not be beneficial to advance.In other words, justice cannot be forced to be accepted by others, and excessive demands will be dangerous.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: This is the beginning of the "sixth day".From the beginning, it is necessary to ask deeply, so it is dangerous.

This line shows the truth that justice cannot be forced to accept by others.Ninety-two: regret death.

"Xiang" said: "Ninety-two regrets death", it can last for a long time.

"Ninety-two" Yang Yao Yin position is not correct, I would have regretted it.But "ninety-two"

In the middle position of the next hexagram, the attitude is moderate; therefore, the regret will be eliminated.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: This is the reason for being able to adhere to the mean.This line emphasizes the importance of the principle of the mean.

Ninth Three: Not persevering in virtue, or bearing shame, chaste and stingy.

"Xiang" said: "If you don't keep your virtue", there is nothing to tolerate. "Nine Three" Yang Yao Yang position is upright, but too strong, and away from the middle position, and corresponding to "Shang Liu", so dissatisfied with the status quo, self-motivated, restless, unable to stick to inherent virtue, and may be ashamed ; even if the motive is pure, it will inevitably be shamed.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: This is because there is no perseverance, so that it is not tolerated by others.

In "The Analects of Confucius Zilu Pian", Confucius also said: "If you don't keep your virtue, you may inherit your shame." It should be quoted from outside.

This line illustrates the great principle of self-reliance and self-reliance, which cannot be violated.Ninety-four: There are no poultry in the field.

"Elephant" said: Long time is not its place, and "bird" is also safe. "Nine Fourth" Yang Yao Yin position is not correct, so hunting will not have any catch.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: No matter how persistent you are, how can you get anything because of your long-term improper position?
This line emphasizes the importance of justice.

Sixth Five-Year: Constant virtue and chastity, auspicious for wives, fierce for master.

"Xiang" said: "Women are Zhenji", from one to the end. "Master" controls righteousness, and follows the "fierce" of women.

The Yin line of "Six Five" is soft, in the middle, and "Nine Two" in the middle of the next hexagram

Corresponding to the Yang line; it symbolizes the virtue of sticking to the submissive and obedient, which will never change.However, being submissive and submissive is the right way for a wife, and it will be auspicious to insist on this pure virtue; but for the husband, it is not a proper virtue, so it is dangerous.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: the wife always adheres to the virtue of obedience and auspiciousness; because a wife should obey a husband throughout her life.But as a husband, he should judge the truth based on whether it is right or not. If he obeys his wife for a long time, he will be in danger.

This line shows that the standpoints are different, and the virtues that should be adhered to are also different.Upper Six: Zhenheng.fierce.

"Xiang" said: "Zhenheng" is above, and nothing moves. "Shang Liu" has reached the extreme point of this hexagram, and it is also the top line of the upper hexagram, which symbolizes extreme permanence and is contrary to common sense.The upper hexagram "Zhen" means movement, so it is often turbulent; this line is feminine and difficult to persist, so it is dangerous.

"Xiang Zhuan" says: If you are in a superior position, you should have lasting virtue. If you are often turbulent and lack perseverance, you will not be able to achieve great things.

This line shows the principle of being extremely long-lasting, contrary to common sense, and resulting in instability.

Heng Gua, explaining the truth of eternity.Persistence is the foundation of success, and perseverance means persistence, but persistence also has a certain limit, and it must be persisted.It is the great principle of self-reliance and righteousness. In terms of application, it is still necessary to grasp the principle of the mean, and use power to achieve change.Justice should not be forced to be accepted by others; on the contrary, it should be communicated with each other. When you are soft, you should be soft, and when you should be rigid, you should be rigid. Different positions and duties should be adhered to.Extreme persistence, on the contrary, goes against common sense and is turbulent.The above is not only the way of couples, but also the principle of life.

Comprehensive overview of Heng Gua

【Meaning】 Persevere—to do things with perseverance.

[Gua Yi] A belief that is long-lasting, eternal, and eternal.

【Introduction】Marriage must follow love.Constant is constant, which means a stable married life.In the upper hexagram, Zhenbiao is an adult man, and in the lower hexagram, Xunbiao is an adult woman. In the "Xian" hexagram, the two young people have reached middle age, and the positional relationship has also been changed to male seeking from the top, and women following from the bottom.A burning love affair has turned into a smooth life without waves, so naturally there is a desire to pursue waves and changes.This is the case at the very beginning of the so-called "flirting", if the dangerous temptation is not eliminated, it will not be permanent.It's not just for couples. Don't forget your original intention when doing anything, don't be confused by novelty, always have original intention, don't be confused by novelty, always have original intention is the most important thing.

[Gua Yi] The shock in the upper hexagram is thunder, and the sunda in the lower hexagram is wind.The thunder is above, the wind is below, and the thunder and the wind vibrate and encourage each other.Sunda means obedience, thunder means movement, that is, everything moves in accordance with the laws of nature. It is a long-term righteous way and has eternal power.

[Structural pattern] Turmoil, women are lucky and men are fierce, nothing can be achieved, distinguish right from wrong, eliminate regret, timing is not good, constant (constant, constant).

[Yin and Yang] Three yin and three yang, balance of yin and yang.

[Position] One, two, four, five, yin and yang are not in the correct position, and the third and sixth lines are in the correct position, but one and four, two and five, three and six are all yin and yang.

[Status] For a long time, the future is prosperous.

[Hexagram Image] The upper hexagram is thunder, and the lower hexagram is wind.The thunder keeps vibrating on the top, and the wind keeps blowing along the bottom, so the thunder and the wind keep moving, forming an image of Lei Chengfeng.

[Thinking mode] Heng Gua uses the principle of thunder and wind to help each other and vibrate for a long time, implying that people should persevere in doing things.Look at the target and don't help.To not waver when encountering difficulties requires long-term belief.

[Philosophical Enlightenment] Explains the principles and principles of persistence.It inspires people to establish a firm belief in the goal of life, which is the foundation for the success of life struggle.

[Decision-making thinking] "With sincerity, gold and stone are opened", "water drops through stone".A drop of water can turn a stone wall into a cave, which is the result of permanence and single-mindedness.In the face of a complex and ever-changing environment, we must first strengthen our beliefs and have a long-term planning goal in terms of overall strategy.Career success is often the result of persistent, long-term hard work.But in terms of tactical decision-making, it is necessary to adapt to the situation, keep the same principle, and stick to the goal of belief for a long time.
