Exchange up and down
Dui, Heng, Li, Zhen.Dui Gua and Xun Gua are "comprehensive hexagrams". Modesty makes people happy, and you are also happy, and each other is a cause and effect. "Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "After entering it, talk about it, so accept it and exchange it, and those who exchange it talk about it."

"Dui" is the original character of Shuo, which means talking or laughing. Therefore, this hexagram has the meaning of speech and joy.Dui Gua is the image of one yin line advancing to the top of the two yang lines, showing joy outside.The Dui hexagram is also Ze, which blocks the water of the Kan hexagram from the downstream, and gathers the water, so it is a Ze.Moreover, the water in the lake can nourish all things and make all things happy, which is also a symbol of joy.

Looking at the hexagram shape of Nandui hexagrams, the internal and external hexagrams are all rigid lines, and the soft line is outside; it is the image of the mean, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, which of course makes people happy and can be prosperous.However, it is not to blindly make people happy regardless of right and wrong, but to have pure motives, stick to the right way, and make people happy will be beneficial.

"Yuan" said: Dui, say it.Hard in the middle but soft on the outside, it is said to be "benevolent and chaste", which means that it is in line with heaven and in line with people.If you talk about the ancestors, the people will work hard; if you talk about making troubles, the people will forget their death: if you talk about it, the people will persuade you!
"Dui" means Yue.In this hexagram, the rigid line is in the middle, and the soft line is outside, so it is right and beneficial and makes people happy.This is in line with the principles of heaven and the wishes of the people, so it truly pleases the people.If you put the people's joy in everything first, the people will forget toil; if you can make the people happy to take risks, the people will forget the danger of death; if you promote the principles that make people happy, the people will know how to encourage them!

"Xiang" says: Li Ze, Dui; a gentleman teaches with friends. "Li" means to attach and connect.In this hexagram, there are Dui hexagrams on the upper and lower sides, and the two Zes are connected together, which is the image of the mutual circulation and nourishment of the Zeshui.A gentleman should imitate this spirit, and friends discuss and learn from each other so as to benefit each other.

According to "Shuo Gua Zhuan", Dui Gua has the image of a mouth and tongue, and the two tongues are facing each other, so it is said to be a lecture.

Ninth day: Hedui, auspicious.

"Xiang" said: "Hedui" is "auspicious", and there is no doubt about it. "Ninth day of the ninth day" is masculine, although it is in the lowest position of this hexagram, it does not flatter and flatter, and seeks to make progress.The "ninth four" in the upper hexagram is also a rigid line, which does not correspond to the "ninth day of the first day". It has an image of disdain to use personal relationships, but an upright attitude that makes people happy.Just as the "Analects of Confucius Zilu" said: "A gentleman is harmonious but different" is harmonious with others, but he is not in harmony with others, so he is harmonious and auspicious.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Because it is open and aboveboard and pleasant to others, there will be no doubts about one's own actions.This line shows that being harmonious with others should be upright, not flattery.

Ninety-two: Fudui, auspicious, regretful death.

"Xiang" said: "Fudui" means "auspiciousness", which means faith and ambition.

"Ninety-two" just got it right, with integrity in your heart, and being kind to others with integrity, of course it is auspicious.However, "Ninety-two" is not correct, and it is expected that there will be regrets; but because the ambition is honesty, the regrets will disappear.

This line shows that we should be honest and happy with others.Six three: Laidui, fierce.

"Xiang" said: "Lai Dui" is "fierce", and it is not in the right place. "Six Three" is the main line of the inner hexagram. It is feminine, not neutral, and has no corresponding in the outer hexagram. Therefore, it has no choice but to please the "ninth day" and "ninth second". dangerous.

This line shows harmony and joy, which must not be improper.Ninth Fourth: Shang Dui, not at peace, Jieji is happy.

"Xiang" said: The "joy" of "Nine Fourth" means celebration. "Jieji" has various interpretations, but in the "Book of Changes", when illness is compared with joy, it often means disease and the joy of healing. "Jie" means fiber, and "Jieji" means ailment.

"Nine Fourth" is close to the following yin line "Six Three", originally yin and yang are in harmony, but "Six Three" is out of alignment, whether it should be in harmony with "Six Three", I can't help but mutter in my heart, and I can't be at peace.However, the "Nine Fourth Movement" resolutely refused at last.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: It is a joyous phenomenon to be able to resolutely eliminate evil.This line shows that Heyue is not what he wants, and he should resolutely get rid of evil.Ninth Five-Year: Fu Yu stripping, there is fierce.

"Xiang" said: "Fuyu stripping", the position is right. "Peeling" refers to the Yin line of "Shang Liu", which peels off the Yang line of "Ninth Five". "ninth five"

Masculine and upright, in the throne, there is a danger of being surrounded by villains who please him.And it is the closest to "Shangliu"; "Shangliu" is also a feminine villain, the main line of the Shanggua, the extreme point of Duigua, is using all evil and foxy means to please the king, trying to make the "Ninth Five-Year" masculine Manner flakes.If you trust such a villain, of course it is dangerous.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: This is the reason for the rightful "five" throne.In the position of a king, it is easy to be surrounded by villains, but it is even more dangerous to add masculinity and overconfidence during the "Ninth Five-Year Plan".

This line warns that uprightness will inevitably be surrounded by villains.Upper Six: Yindui.

"Xiang" said: "Shangliu" and "Yindui" are not light. "Shang Liu" is the main line of the upper hexagram, feminine and soft, at the extreme point of the Dui hexagram, doing whatever it takes to please people and seduce the two lower yang lines.But this method of pleasing people is not aboveboard after all. Whether the other party will be lured depends on the other party's concentration. It is difficult to judge the result, so it cannot be concluded that it is good or bad.

This line further warns villains of the danger of pleasing others by unscrupulous means, and must be guarded against.

Dui Gua, explaining the principle of harmony.Make others happy, and you are also happy, which can promote harmonious interpersonal relationships, and make people happy, so that you can sincerely obey the leadership, work tirelessly, and are not afraid of sacrifice.This is the principle of conforming to nature and responding to people, but the motive must be pure, and it should be right and beneficial to make people happy, not right and wrong.To be harmonious, one should first distinguish right from wrong, be aboveboard, not flattery; one should be strong inside and soft outside, adhere to principles, and be harmonious without differences.
