shock
wisdom
up and down
Shock, Heng.The shock came and the speech was hoarse, shocked a hundred miles, and did not lose the dagger.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "The main vessel is none other than the eldest son, so it is shaken by it, and the shaker moves." The eldest son means to move.

"虩" is a gecko, which means fear. "Yuya" is laughter. "Dagger" is the spoon is millet wine, soaked tulip grass, sprinkled on the ground, to invite God to come down with aroma.

The Zhen hexagram is the Kun hexagram that symbolizes the earth. A yang emerges from the bottom, causing the earth to shake and yin and yang to intersect.There is thunder and lightning; there is also the Kun hexagram of Chunyin's mother, and the Qian hexagram of Chunyang's father, who have the image of having a son for the first time.Therefore, it symbolizes an earthquake, a thunderstorm, a shock, a shock, or the firstborn.

Vibration itself can prosper.When an earthquake strikes, everyone is afraid, and only by learning the lesson and knowing how to guard against fear can we talk and laugh in the future; it can also be explained that when a disaster strikes, people are terrified and forget it afterwards, talking and laughing freely, without vigilance, will not get any benefit.When the earthquake struck, it shocked the people within a hundred miles, but the pious worshipers did not drop the wine spoon in their hands.The Zhen hexagram symbolizes the eldest son who serves as a sacrifice, so the metaphor of "dagger" is used.

"彖" said: Zhen, "Heng". "Earthquake comes and shakes", which may lead to blessings. "Laughing and talking hoarsely", there are others later. "Shocked for hundreds of miles", it is shocking far away and afraid of near and far.If you go out, you can guard the ancestral temple and the country, thinking that it is also a sacrifice to the master.

Vibration, you can prosper.When the shock comes, tremble with trembling, and be alert because of fear, and then you will be happy.Laughing and talking, because I can learn lessons, I will have rules to follow in the future.Shocking within a hundred miles means that the distant place is shocked, causing fear in the near and heightening vigilance.Those who can guard against fear in everything can stand up to preside over sacrifices and take on the important task of defending the country.

"Xiang" says: thunder, earthquake; a gentleman uses fear to cultivate provinces.洊 means again and again.The Zhen hexagram is two overlapping thunders, which symbolizes the wrath of the sky, and the thunder is booming.A gentleman should imitate this spirit, devote himself to the study of virtue and self-reflection with an attitude of fearlessness.

In "The Analects of Confucius Xiangdang Pian", Confucius said: "Thunder and strong wind must make people change color." The metaphor used is the same as this hexagram.Ninth day of the first day: The shock came, and then I laughed and said hoarse, good luck.

"Elephant" said: "The shock comes and the torment" is afraid that it will bring blessings. "Laughing and dumb", there are also "post".

The "Xiang Ci" of this "Yao Ci" is the same as the "Xiang Ci" of "Gua Ci". "Ninth day of the first day" is the main line of the next hexagram, and it is also the beginning of the shock hexagram. It is equivalent to the coming of a shock. If you learn a lesson, you can guard against fear and be blessed in the future, so it is auspicious.

One said, "Zhenlai" refers to King Wen of Zhou being imprisoned in Xianli; "Xiaoyan" refers to the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.

This line shows that you can learn the lesson of fear and be vigilant so that you will be safe in the future.

Sixty-two: The earthquake is strong, and hundreds of millions of mourners will go to the Jiuling, don't chase, and get it in seven days.

"Xiang" said: "The shock comes and it is strong", and it is also strong. "Bei" is the ancient shell coin, and "Jiuling" is the mountain tomb of Jiuchong. "six two"

Femininity is directly above the masculinity of the "ninth day". "Ninth day of the lunar new year" is the subject of shock; therefore, when the shock comes, "June [-]nd" is the first to bear the brunt and the most dangerous, resulting in the loss of hundreds of millions of wealth and fleeing to the mountains of Jiuchong for refuge.However, "Six Two" is soft and soft, and it is in the middle, soft and upright. Therefore, the lost property does not need to be searched, and it will be recovered in just seven days.

This line.It shows that if you are shocked and adhere to the principle of Zhongzheng, you can recover quickly.

Six Three: Shocking Susu, shocking and moving without confusion.

"Elephant" said: "Zhen Su Su".Improper position also.

"Susu" means fear and anxiety. "眚" means disease and fault. "Six Three" Yin Yao Yang position, away from the middle, not right, wrong position, and the earthquake is the scourge of human beings, so "Six Three" fear and anxiety.But if fear can make things better, there will still be no disasters.

This line shows that if you know how to reflect and review because of fear, disasters can be avoided.Ninety-Four: Shake the mud.

"Xiang" said: "Zhen Sui mud", not yet light. "Sui" means falling and stopping. Although the "Nine Fourth Movement" is masculine, it is not centered or upright, and the upper and lower sides are narrowed by two yin lines, so the strength is weak and not strong enough, like being shocked by thunder and falling into the mud, unable to move.

This line shows that the power of fortitude must be exerted in order to withstand the shock.

Sixth Five-Year: Tremors come and go, there is no loss of intention, there is something to do.

"Xiang" said: "The shock comes and goes fiercely", and it is also dangerous.The matter is in the middle, and there is "no mourning".

"Sixth Five-Year" yin and yang are not in the right position. When the catastrophe strikes an earthquake, if you want to go up, you will be in the "up" position of the extreme shock; if you want to go down, you will be shocked by the rigid line of the main body, which is dangerous.However, the "Sixth Five-Year Plan" is in the upper hexagram. Although there are major accidents, there will be no major losses. "Meaning" should be explained here.

This line shows that when a shock occurs, adhere to the principle of the mean, and be impartial and unbiased, so as to minimize the damage.

Upper Six: Vibrate Suo Suo, watch evil and evil, sign evil.The shock is not due to his bow, but to his neighbors, there is no blame.There is something to say about the marriage.

"Xiang" said: "Zhuo Suo Suo", it has not been hit.Although "fierce" and "no blame", fear of neighbors is also a warning.

"Soso" is frustration. "矍矍" means unsteady sight. "Speak" is a rebuke. "Shangliu" is feminine, not right, and at the extreme of shock, so that in the earthquake, frightened and depressed, eyes flickering, restless; in this state, any action is bound to be dangerous.However, when an earthquake occurs nearby and before it reaches you, you can avoid it if you know how to be cautious and fearful.However, "Shangliu" is in the top position. As a leader, if the neighbors encounter disasters, but you are able to avoid disasters, you will inevitably hear complaints from your relatives.

This line shows that he is shocked elsewhere, and he knows to be alert, so he can prevent problems before they happen.

The hexagram of shock, explaining the coping rules for shock.In the process of development and progress, it is inevitable that unexpected major accidents will not occur, which will cause shock.Only by learning lessons and being vigilant and fearful in everything can we have rules to follow, exert the power of fortitude, respond calmly and calmly, and not panic: even if disasters occur, hysteresis can occur to minimize damage and recover quickly .Be cautious and fearful at ordinary times, and often reflect and review, you can prevent problems before they happen; always maintain a high degree of vigilance, and you can eliminate them invisible before disasters come.

This is known from experience.When your ears and eyes are shaken and you don't feel trembling, you should think of the thunder, as long as you treat it calmly, you will get through it safely.This hexagram also means that you only listen to the sound of the stairs and don't see people coming down.

[Gua Yi] The upper and lower hexagrams are earthquakes.Earthquake is one yang born under two yin, moving forward.Kun, which symbolizes the earth, has a yang below it, which makes the earth shake. This hexagram explains how to deal with turmoil and how to face social and personal emergencies.
