姤, women are strong, don't use them to take women.This hexagram is the "comprehensive hexagram" opposite to the Jia hexagram; the Kui hexagram is separation, and the Wei hexagram is encountering.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "There must be encounters, so I will be flattered by this; those who are ugly will also meet."

But encounter is to meet on the road, epiphysis is to meet a man and a woman.This hexagram is also the "news hexagram", which represents May.

Gua Gua, when one yin meets five yangs, that is to say, a woman who is in the middle of five men must not keep her chastity; and if she is physically strong, this kind of woman cannot be married as a wife.

"彖" says: "姤, encounter, softness meets rigidity." "Don't use it to take a girl", it can't be with the elder.When heaven and earth meet, things come together.Just met Zhongzheng, and the world is going well.The righteousness of the time is great!

姤 means meeting, a soft line meets five hard lines.Not allowed to marry as a wife: It means that you can't stay together forever.And in terms of hexagram shape, it is also an image of femininity invading masculinity.However, encounters are not necessarily bad. When the sky and the earth meet, all kinds of things will appear clearly; just meeting the softness of Zhongzheng, the combination of hardness and softness, complementing each other, can make its ambition prevail in the world.Therefore, the time significance of the encounter is too great!

"Xiang" said: "There is wind in the world, and it is bad; later, he will give orders to the four directions." "Hou" is the queen king, that is, the emperor who succeeds to the throne.This hexagram, the previous hexagram "dry"

It is the sky, and the lower hexagram "Xun" is the wind. When there is a wind blowing in the sky, it pervades everything and meets everything.Kings should imitate this spirit.That is to say, there is no absolute good or evil in the world. According to timing and utilization, evil deeds can also be used for good.

Sixth day of the lunar month: tied to a golden stick, chaste and auspicious, you will go, see evil, and you will be spoiled.

"Elephant" says: "Tie to the golden stick", Sang Dao also pulls it.Most of the "Yao Ci" of the hexagram is not easy to understand. "柅" is the brake of the wheel. "百" means thin. "Hoof roe" means lingering, and wandering has the meaning of moving forward. The "sixth day of the lunar new year" is the yin that started under the pure yang. As long as this is blocked, the power of the villain will not be formed.Therefore, it is like making a solid metal brake to stop the villain; it is auspicious to stick to the right way.If you tolerate and allow the villain to advance, the gentleman will be violated by the villain and danger will arise.However, villains are not willing to be lonely, although there is only one yin line, like a thin pig; however, this pig is constantly wandering, waiting for opportunities, and taking advantage of the gap to advance, a gentleman must be on guard.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Therefore, the use of golden sticks to tie bonds is to restrain femininity.This line shows that we should be on guard against villains, and we must strictly stop them before their power is formed.

Ninety-two: There are fish in the bag, no blame, no harm to guests.

"Xiang" said: "There are fish in the package", which is not as meaningful as "bin". "Bao" is a straw bag made of thatch. There is a sentence in "The Book of Songs Zhaonan" that "there are dead deer in the field, and they are wrapped with coriander grass". "[-]" and "[-]th day" are closely connected, that is, they meet. Although the "sixth day" corresponds to the "ninth fourth", in this hexagram, encounters are more important than correspondences. "Ninety-two" is yang, and "Junior Six" is Yin. The "Junior Six" who wants to move forward is wrapped in "Nine-two" and cannot move, just like wrapping a fish with thatch.Fish is a creature in the water, which belongs to yin. The method of "nine two" is wrapped like this so that the evil of the villain will not spread, and even if you encounter a villain, there will be no disaster. "Bin" refers to other Yang lines. If you don't stop the villain from contacting the guests, you will inevitably be seduced and fall into a trap.

This line shows that the expansion of the villain's influence should be prevented, lest others be tempted.

Nine three: The buttocks have no skin, and their behavior is inferior, severe, and there is no major blame.

"Xiang" said: "Its movement is second and second", and its movement is not tied.There is no skin on the buttocks, and the movement is staggering; in the "Yaoci" of the Yang hexagram "Nine Fourth", there are the same sentences.The Kuang hexagram in turn becomes the Yang hexagram, and the "nine four" of the Jia hexagram is equivalent to the "nine three" of the husband hexagram. "Jiu San" is rigid and rigid, too strong, away from the middle position of the inner hexagram, unable to be moderate, so that it pursues the opposite sex wholeheartedly.Yang pursues yin, which is a natural desire, but the "sixth day" at the bottom has met "nine two" and seeks upwards, and "shang nine" is masculine and cannot respond, so "nine three" is in a dilemma position, so restless and staggering.However, you can't meet yinrou, and you won't be hurt by villains; therefore, although you are alone and helpless, there will be danger, but there will be no big trouble.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Although the "September [-]" reeled, it was still moving forward, and its actions were not restrained.

This line shows that even if you are alone and helpless, you should not be with villains.Ninth Fourth: Bao Wuyu, start a murder.

"Xiang" says: "The evil" of "no fish" is far away from the people. "Nine Fourth" originally corresponded to "Junior Six", but "Junior Six" met "Nine Second"

blocked, unable to come. "The sixth day of the lunar new year" is yin. Using fish as a metaphor, there is no fish in the "September [-]th" bag, which is the result of being far away from the people. "Junior Six" is a feminine villain, here refers to the small people, stay away from the small people, although there will be no disasters, but on the contrary, it means that you lack capacity and cannot tolerate, so it is used as a metaphor for no fish in the bag.In such a situation where people's hearts are deviated from, it will be dangerous if you want to take action.

This line shows that tolerance can gain broad support.Ninth Five: Wrap melon with Qiqi, contain chapters, and fall from the sky.

"Xiang" said: "Ninth Five-Year Plan" "contains chapters", Zhongzheng also. "There is a falling day", and the ambition is not to give up one's life.

"Qi" is Qi willow, which grows by the river.It is soft and can be used to weave utensils. "Hanzhang" means to imply literary talent inside. The "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is vigorous and upright. In the position of the monarch, it is the main body of this hexagram, full of justice and strength. Even if there are a few villains below, it will not worry, but can completely tolerate the villains.Melon prostrate on the ground.Belonging to Yin, sweet but perishable, it is used to describe a clever, flattering, and easily corrupted villain; wrapped in a strong wicker basket, it is a metaphor for the character and strength of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan".Enough to prevent corruption before it happens.Moreover, yin and yang, that is, the victory or defeat of the villain and the gentleman, also have inevitable changes; therefore, the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" uses its own virtues to tolerate, calmly prevent the expansion of the villain, and when the time that is not conducive to the villain comes, The villain will suddenly fall from the sky like a meteorite.On the contrary, we must firmly eradicate the villain's will.But you can't violate the laws of nature, you should wait for the evolution of time, and it will fall like a meteorite.Go beyond nature and fall by yourself.

This line shows that the ebb and flow of yin and yang is an inevitable normal state, which cannot be violated, and should be tolerated to grasp the most favorable opportunity.

Upper Nine: It’s the horns, it’s stingy, there’s no blame.

"Xiang" said: "The horns are too small", and the poor are also "stingy". "Horn" is the uppermost part of the animal, and it is rigid. "Shangjiu" means that the animal's horn is strong and at the top of this hexagram.There is no upper position, so "Shang Jiu" is isolated, although it is meeting.But if you don't get in touch with villains, although you may be ridiculed as being narrow-minded and humiliated, you will not worry about being infected by villains, and there will be no disasters. "Xiang Zhuan" said: because it has reached the extreme above.If you think too highly of yourself, you will inevitably be humiliated by narrowness.

This line shows that the villain is strictly rejected, although it is narrow, it is safe.At the moment of decision, when things are falling apart and people's hearts are scattered, it is also the time when evil is rampant.This hexagram explains the law of preventing evil.Fortitude should be combined with righteousness to bring out the best in each other. If you encounter evil, you will inevitably fall into its trap and be hurt by it. Therefore, you must be vigilant and take strict precautions. At the beginning of evil, you should strictly stop it.Containment measures should be adopted to prevent the expansion of evil influence.Even in isolated situations, no attempt should be made to harness the power of evil.Such a fortitude and aloof attitude, although narrow-minded, is the safest way not to be infected by evil.

However, there is no absolute good or evil in the world. Depending on the timing and use, evil deeds can also be used for good. It depends on the motive, so it should be tolerated. Only in this way can we get close to the masses, gain broad support, and consolidate the foundation.What's more, the ebb and flow of yin and yang is a common law of nature, and it is difficult to violate. As long as you are resolute, upright, firm in your beliefs, uphold justice, and tolerate evil, you can prevent the spread of evil. In the evolution of time, evil can naturally disappear invisible. .

A Comprehensive Overview of the Gua

[Meaning] Encounter by chance—do not harm people, but warn and prevent people.

[Gua Yi] to meet, to get acquainted with, to make friends, to meet by chance.

[Introduction] 姤 is the same as 遇遇之友, which means meeting by chance.In "Clamp", the villain's forces have been expelled, but unexpected disasters happen secretly.The hexagram shape is a yin line filled with five yang lines, which is a form of contact between one woman and five men, like a woman in a romantic place, her yin is the role of harm.But it is not good in terms of marriage partners.There is a saying that "don't take a girl by sex".But sometimes men and women meet by chance, but they will form an excellent interpersonal relationship!In the hexagram, one yin bears and bears five yangs, and there is also a state of overload.

[Heave meaning] The upper hexagram Qian is the sky, and the lower hexagram Sunda is the wind. There is wind blowing in the world, and the wind enters everywhere and pervades everything, symbolizing encounters everywhere.In the hexagram, there are five yang and one yin, the yin is below and the yang is above, and the wind can seep in from the ground.A Yin line can be compared to a villain.This reminds people of the principle of how to guard against evil villains.

[Structural model] Just pass through, be resolute and upright, act fiercely, avoid major disasters, guard against temptation, and live in peace, (encounter, encounter).

[Yin and Yang] Five yangs and one yin, and the yin line is a metaphor for a villain.

[Position] The Yang position of the third Yao and the fifth Yao is positive.The [-]nd, [-]th, and [-]th yao yang occupies the yin position, which is not correct.A line of yin occupies the position of yang, which is not correct.

[Status] If you marry rashly, it will not last long.

[Thinking mode] The hexagram of Xie continuously infiltrates through the wind, and the hexagrams of five yangs determine one yin.Propose that in our real life, evil and villains are everywhere.The key lies in prevention: be vigilant at all times and take precautions before they happen.Do not abuse the villain to harm the whole.Work together to unite and abide by our duties.People from the old forces must be differentiated and utilized.

[Philosophical Enlightenment] In social activities, the encounter between people is like the wind in nature, everywhere, and villains exist everywhere.It is impossible not to meet villains, the key is to guard against them.

[Decision-making thinking] "You must not have the heart to harm others, but you must have the heart to guard against others." The focus of thinking is to be vigilant and guard against evil forces.Villains and evil forces in society exist objectively, which is an inherent phenomenon of yin and yang.Like a villain, she always wants to control the men around her.The specific way to deal with it is: first suppress the signs of evil.A villain is far away from a gentleman.Keep yourself well behaved.Employers in the unit or themselves should avoid aggressive and strong women when they talk about marriage.In social activities, strangers you meet unexpectedly cannot be trusted.
