Abundance, enjoyment, king's holiday, don't worry, it's suitable for midday.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "Those who get what they used to be must be big, so if they receive it, they will be rich, and those who are rich will be big." This means that the person who is expected by everyone is grand.

"Feng" means to hold things in a tall cup, grand.The lower hexagram "Li" is bright, and the upper hexagram "Zhen" is movement, which is bright and active, a symbol of grandeur.Prosperity itself is prosperous. When the king is the most prosperous period in the world, he has huge wealth and countless people. There is no need to worry;However, the sun is in the middle, it cannot last long, and it will deflect soon. Therefore, this hexagram is prosperous, but there is also a hidden crisis.

"彖" said: Feng, big also.Ming to move, so abundant. "The king's falsehood" is still great. "Don't worry about the middle of the day", it should be according to the world.The sun is at midday, the moon is full, the moon is eclipsed, the sky and the earth are full and empty, and the news of the time, let alone people?How about ghosts and gods?
Feng means big.The lower hexagram is "Ming" and the upper hexagram is "Dong".When it is bright and active, it is abundant.In the most prosperous period of the king, everything advocates grandeur, so there is no need to worry, it should be like the sun in the middle, shining all over the world.However, when the sun is in the middle, it will soon be deflected; when the moon is full, it will soon be short;Let alone ghosts and gods?
"Xiang" said: "Thunder and lightning are coming, and there will be plenty; a gentleman will break the prison to punish him."In this hexagram, the upper hexagram "Zhen" is thunder, and the lower hexagram "Li" is lightning. The thunder and lightning come at the same time, and the momentum is grand.

Ninth day of the lunar month: When you meet your partner, although there is no blame for the sentence, there is honor.

"Xiang" said: "Although there is no blame in ten days", there will be disasters after ten days. "Partner" is not easy to understand: in one word, it means to couple and match. "early"

Corresponding to "four", "four" is the match of "beginning"; it also means that low status matches high status.Therefore, "Chu" refers to "Si" as "the master", and "Si" refers to "Chu" as "the master of Yi", and "Yi" means to wait. "Nine Fourth" is the yang line of the upper hexagram "Zhen", which is the main body of the Zhen hexagram. It is located just after the lower hexagram "Li" is completed; the Li hexagram is the day. A ten-day period is counted again from A, so "ten days" is used as a metaphor for fullness, and it turns into a loss after more than one ten-day period.The lower hexagram "Li" of the Feng hexagram is bright, and the upper hexagram "Zhen" is the action of movement and light. Therefore, the "ninth day of the first day" is to actively look for a spouse and meet a matching master.Although after ten days, there will be worries about being full and losing money, but there will be no disasters, because going there will be taken seriously by the "September [-]th Movement".

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Although there will be no disasters after ten days, but after ten days, if the fullness turns to deficit, there will be disasters.That is to say, if you take the initiative to seek, you will meet a suitable owner, and you will be valued, and you can actively go there, and there will be no disaster, but if it exceeds the necessary level, there will be disaster.

This line shows that Shanda should be actively pursued, but in moderation.Sixty-two: Fengqi's repairs, seeing fights in the middle of the day, suffering from suspicious diseases, having Fu Faruo, auspicious.Xiang said: "There is Fu Fa Ruo."Believe in your ambition. "蔀" is the curtain that covers the sun, and "Dou" is the Big Dipper. "Six Two" is the next hexagram "Li"

There is a Li Gua in the main line, so "Six Two" is the brightest.But in the "six five" corresponding to "six two" in the upper hexagram, the yin line is on the throne, but it is a dark king, just like the sun is covered by a big curtain, and you can see the seven stars as dark as the noon; therefore, Those who follow such a king will be suspected.However, you can enlighten the other party's will with sincerity, and the result is still auspicious.

This line warns that the pursuit of grandeur is easy to get lost and leads to suspicion, and one should inspire the will with sincerity.

Nine three: Abundant and abundant, see foam in the middle of the day, fold the right arm, there is no blame.

"Xiang" said: "It is abundant", it is not a big deal. "Break his right forearm" is not usable in the end.

"Pei" is used in common with Xi, and it is a curtain. "Mo" means ignorance, Xiao Xing. "Nine three" is the end of the next hexagram "Ming".Noon has passed, the sun is slanted, and it corresponds to the dim "Shangliu", which is darker than the "Sixth Five-Year", just like using a big curtain to cover the sun, and small stars can be seen at noon.But "Jiu San" is masculine and belongs to the lower hexagram "Ming". Although it is resolute and wise, it is like a broken right arm, powerless.However, the position of Yang Aiyang in the "[-]rd" was upright, and logically speaking, there should be no disasters.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: You can't do big things, "Nine Three" Zhang Wangjiu can't be reused.

This line warns that if you get lost due to grandness and cause unavoidable harm, you should uphold integrity.

Ninth Fourth: Plenty of scorpions, battles in the middle of the day, encounter with barbarians, auspicious.

"Xiang" said: "Plenty of its columbine", the position is not appropriate. "Seeing battles in the middle of the day" is also unknown. "Meet the barbarians", auspicious, OK.

The first two sentences are the same as "Six Two", "Yi" means equal, the one who is above, the one who is below is called "Yi". "Yi Zhu" is an equal master, referring to the "ninth day" and "ninth fourth", who have equal masculine virtues and corresponding status. "Nine Fourth" was second only to "Five" in the position of ministers, but "Sixth Five" was soft and not upright, and it was a dim king, just like the sun is covered by a big curtain, and the Big Dipper can be seen at noon.However, it will be auspicious if you go down and communicate with the equally upright "Ninth Day of the Beginning" and act together.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: This is because the "Nine Fourth Movement" was rigid and soft, the position was inappropriate, and it was a dark and uncertain period; but if you take action and seek someone who is like you, you will be auspicious.

This line shows that if you are lost due to grandness, you should take the initiative to unite with comrades to break through the darkness.

Sixth Five-Year: Come to the chapter, there is a celebration, auspicious.

"Xiang" said: The "auspiciousness" of the "Sixth Five-Year Plan" is celebrated. "Chapter" refers to literary talent and beautiful patterns, which should be regarded as virtues here. "six five"

Yin Yao is on the throne, a dark king, and does not have auspicious conditions in itself, but if the corresponding "nine two", this virtuous magi, can come to assist, he will get auspiciousness and honor, so it is auspicious.The next hexagram "Li" is Ming.So use the word "chapter".It is impossible for a Hunjun to recruit wise men, but Hun Qun also likes to gain fame and reputation, so they will also flaunt the idea of ​​attracting wise men.

This line shows that the pursuit of grandeur requires the use of virtuous persons.

Upper Six: Enrich his house, visit his home, peek at his household, deprive him of no one, and fail to meet at the age of three, fierce.

"Xiang" said: "Feng Qiwu", soaring in the sky.Peep into its household, but there is no one there.Self-possession also.

"Peeping" is peeping, "peeping" is silence, and "face" is seeing. "Shang Liu" is a feminine villain.At the extreme point of the Feng hexagram, the upper hexagram is looking around again, so it is not stable: the light of the lower hexagram cannot reach it, and it becomes dark; it is like hiding yourself in a big house and completely covering it with a curtain. In the dark, peeping through the crack of the door, no one can be seen, for three years, no one has come out, completely isolated like this, of course it is dangerous.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: The roof is tall, which means that the villain is successful, as proud as flying in the sky, so that he becomes more and more stupid, and finally no one comes, and he is completely isolated.This is not being abandoned by others, but being blocked by oneself.

This line, the admonition was lost due to grandeur, and was finally completely blocked.The Feng hexagram explains the principle of impermanence in ups and downs, although the name of the hexagram is the grand "Feng".But the whole hexagram is dark, earnestly warning that prosperity must decline, so we must be vigilant.A wise leader should actively seek development, create wealth, and let the world share a life of adequate food and clothing. However, he should also understand that Shanda is easy to get lost, and he must be prepared for danger in times of peace. Only in this way can we maintain profits and protect Thailand.Enjoy the fruitful results, and don't cause fraud or destruction due to grandeur.Otherwise, getting carried away with self-indulgence and self-indulgence will inevitably make oneself blocked, and finally isolated and completely plunged into darkness.

Comprehensive overview of Feng Gua

[Meaning] The principle of abundance—the world is full and empty, and news of the time.

[Hexagram Meaning] Plump, plentiful, rich, grand.

【Introduction】Feng means plump and grand.This hexagram represents a state where everything is satisfied.But if you are poor, you will succeed, and if you are prosperous, you will decline.It means that those who suffer from adversity have a way to rescue, but in the midst of prosperity, warnings are required.It takes considerable effort to maintain the status quo, so new businesses cannot be expanded.Mainly based on the relationship between men and women, it is a mature couple of the eldest man (Zhen) and the second daughter (Li), but the hint will soon decline.The words of each line describe the way to deal with the situation with wisdom (li) and move (shock) under the situation of being dominated by darkness.

[Gua Yi] The upper hexagram Zhen means thunder, and the lower hexagram Li means the light of fire.The fire that symbolizes light, the burning fire is light.It symbolizes the bright fire, and the burning flame is constantly dancing, showing the meaning of grandness and abundance.The meaning of the hexagram means life and career, the more prosperous and prosperous, the more rigid and upright you must be.Only by adhering to purity can a prosperous situation be consolidated.

[Structural model] Prosperity is extreme to darkness, appoint talents, sincerely unite, uphold integrity, be honest and dispel doubts, be proactive, and be rich (Sheng Da Feng Sheng).

[Yin and Yang] Three yin and three yang, one line, three lines, and two lines.

[Position] The yin and yang of the sixth line are in the right position, and the yin and yang of the fourth line and the fifth line are in the wrong position.

[Status] Bright and prosperous, the peak of Japan and China.

[Hexagram Image] The upper hexagram shakes, symbolizing movement, and the lower hexagram Li, symbolizing fire.The fire burns, emits light, and keeps dancing, showing a grand image.The upper hexagram shakes as thunder, and the lower hexagram Li symbolizes lightning and fire.Thunder and lightning intersected together, showing a grand momentum.

[Thinking mode] Feng Gua uses astronomical phenomena to compare the human world, and expounds the principles of the ups and downs of life and career.It reminds people that there is also a hidden crisis behind Fengsheng Antai.Attention should be paid when the career is in a prosperous state: the current prosperity is like the profit and loss of the sun and the moon.Prosperity must decline, it is natural.Sheng is prone to accumulating jealousy, so we should treat each other with sincerity.Adhere to integrity, stay sober, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be modest and prudent.

[Philosophical Enlightenment] The celestial phenomenon of "the sun, the moon, and the sky" is used in the hexagram to explain the ups and downs of life, career, and social changes, just like the sun, moon, and heaven and earth in nature, which ebb and flow with time.Warn people not to be arrogant and seek ease in the prime of life, so as to maintain a successful career for a long time.

[Decision-making thinking] "Flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year."People like the spring full of flowers and hope that the flowers will last forever, but even when the "peach blossoms are still in bloom", "the human face is no longer".People often hope to maintain the surplus and protect the prosperity, so that the abundance and prosperity will last forever.However, it is an objective law that the heaven and the earth are full and empty, and that prosperity must decline.When your life and career are prosperous and prosperous, don't be extravagant and arrogant, just enough is enough.At this time, it is necessary to consider helping more people, expanding the carrier of abundance to benefit more people, or supporting public welfare undertakings, so as to extend blessings.
