The wisdom of I Ching

Chapter 65 No.60 One Hexagram Zhongfu

Integrity and wisdom in the heart understand Sunda
Duixia Zhongfu, dolphin fish auspicious, Lishe Dachuan, Lizhen.

"Xu Gua Zhuan" said: "Believe in festivals, so accept them with Zhongfu." The original meaning of "Fu" is that the hatching cannot delay the date, and it has the meaning of faith; "Zhongfu" means integrity in the heart.In this hexagram, there are two yang lines on the upper and lower sides, and two yin lines in the middle, which is the image of the emptiness in the center, that is, an open mind and honesty in the heart, so it is called Zhongfu hexagram.In addition, the upper and lower middle lines, that is, "two" and "five", are all yang lines; the yang line abandons the real, and the center is full, which is also a symbol of Zhongfu. "Dog fish" refers to the use of dolphins and fish as sacrifices by civilians. "Book of Rites·Royal System" says: "Common people use dolphins and fish to sacrifice in spring and autumn." Although low-status commoners simply use dolphins and fish as sacrifices, they will still be blessed by gods with integrity in their hearts. Fu, so auspicious.

The hexagram shape of this hexagram is solid on the outside and empty on the inside, which is the image of a boat; and the upper hexagram "Xun" is wood, and the lower hexagram "Dui" is a marsh, and the wood on the marsh also symbolizes a boat; Dahe is a metaphor for being honest in one’s heart, one can take risks and make troubles, but sticking to the right way must be the prerequisite.

"Yuan" said: "Zhongfu, Sang is inside and just won the middle."It is said that Sunda is Huabang. "Porpoise fish luck".The letter and the dolphin fish are also "beneficial to Dachuan".It's also empty by canoe.Zhongfu's "Lizhen" is in response to the sky.

Zhongfu hexagram, in terms of hexagram shape, the soft line is in the center, and the upper and lower hexagrams are all rigid lines in the middle.Also, the upper hexagram "Xun" means humility, and the lower hexagram "Dui" means joy. Those above are humble, and those below are submissive, so we say honesty, so that we can educate the country; because the original meaning of Fu is incubation, which has the meaning of transformation.The auspiciousness of dolphin means that the sacrifice should be honest, although it can only achieve the poor level of offering sacrifices with dolphin, it can still be accepted by the gods.It is beneficial to cross the big river because the upper hexagram "Xun" is wood, and the lower hexagram "Dui" is water, which has the image of crossing the water in a wooden boat; in terms of the overall hexagram shape, it is also the image of a boat with an empty middle.It is beneficial to be honest in heart and stick to the right way, so as to conform to the laws of heaven, because the virtues of heaven are honesty and perseverance.

"Xiang" said: There is wind on the lake, Zhongfu; a gentleman uses prison to delay death.The upper hexagram "Xun" of this hexagram is the wind, and the lower hexagram "Dui" is the lake. The wind blows on the lake, and the water can bear it with an open mind. It can reach anywhere, symbolizing the sincerity in the heart, which can pervade everything.A gentleman should imitate this spirit and judge lawsuits with integrity in his heart; those who are sentenced to death should also be commuted as much as possible.Because the lower hexagram "Dui" means talking, so it is said to discuss prison; the upper hexagram "Xun" is wind, which is moderate;

Ninth day: Yuji, there is no swallow.

"Xiang" said: "The ninth day" and "Yu Ji", the aspirations have not changed.Except for the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", the "Yao Ci" of the Zhongfu hexagram does not contain the name of the hexagram, so it has no connection with the theme. "Yu" means degree, conjecture, speculation. "Swallow" is the same as An. For example, "Zhongni Yanju" in the title of "Book of Rites" means Anju. "Ninth day of the first day" is the beginning of this hexagram. Although it is a hexagram of sincerity, it cannot be trusted at the beginning. You must think about whether the other party is credible before you can believe it. Only in this way will it be auspicious.However, once you believe it, you should believe it to the end. If you have doubts, it will make you feel uneasy.The object of belief refers to "June [-]th", because "Ninth Day" corresponds to "June [-]th", it seems that you should believe it without any consideration. However, you must be cautious at the beginning of anything, and you cannot believe it immediately.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: "The ninth day of the ninth day" is auspicious, because the original intention of honesty has not changed.

This line shows that you should be cautious at the beginning, and once you believe it, you should no longer have doubts.

Ninety-two: Minghe is in the shade, and his son is with him. I have a good noble, and I will be with you.

"Xiang" said: His son and him.The center wishes also.This is the most beautiful sentence among the many "Yao Ci". "Yin" is the shade of the sun, "excessive"

means scattered. "Ninety-two" and "Nineth Five-Year", in the inner and outer hexagrams, are masculine and full, symbolizing the integrity of the heart.Although far away, they can still echo each other.Just like cranes chirping in the dark, and they can't see far away, the little cranes will also respond.Because the position of "Nine Two" is low, it is said to be Yin. "Xiang Zhuan" said: This is the wish in the heart, because it can communicate with each other. "Jue" is a wine glass. "Haojue" refers to "Ninety Two" in the next hexagram.I have good wine, and I am willing to share it with you; it also means that each other's sincerity can be communicated.

"Xi Ci Zhuan" quoted this "Yao Ci" and said: "If a gentleman says something good at home, he will respond thousands of miles away, let alone nearby? If a gentleman says something at home, if he doesn't Well, even thousands of miles away, it will be violated, let alone in the vicinity? Words are spoken from one's own mouth, heard by everyone; deeds happen near, seen from afar; words and deeds are like The hinge of the door, the trigger of the crossbow, once activated, honor or shame is already decided. Words and deeds are enough to shake the world for a gentleman, can he not be cautious?" Jue" as a metaphor.

This line shows that honesty must be able to communicate and resonate before it can play a role.

Six three: To defeat the enemy, drum or strike, weep or sing.

"Xiang" said: "Either drum or stop", the position is not appropriate.

"Six Three" yin line is in the yang position, and there is a tendency to rush in blindly.However, there is "June Fourth" in front of it, and the same sex repels each other; although "June Three" corresponds to "Shang Nine".But "June [-]th" also corresponds to "June [-]th", and they are evenly matched, and it is impossible to get close, so they are hostile. "Six Three" wanted to beat the drums to attack, but stopped retreating, suddenly wept, and then sang happily, completely at a loss.

"Xiang Zhuan" said: Because the Yin and Yang positions of "Six Three" are not correct and the position is not right, but "Six Fourth" is correct from the Yin and Yin positions.Therefore, the "June [-]rd Movement" had no possibility of victory, but it was full of hostility, so that it did not know what to do.

This line shows that honesty must be unwavering, otherwise you will be at a loss.June Fourth: A few months ago, the horse died, no blame.

"Elephant" said: "The horse dies", which is absolutely superior. "Wang" means the full moon, and "Pi" means two horses. The "June [-]th" yin line and the yin position are upright, and the monarch closest to the "five" is the highest-ranking minister. Therefore, it is almost a full moon as a metaphor. "June [-]th" corresponds to "Ninth Day", like a pair of horses. However, "June [-]th" is cut off from the "Ninth Day" of the same kind. To follow "Ninth Five-Year", a pair of horses loses their match.That is to say, the interpretation of "Xiang Zhuan" should cut off incompetent partners and follow great figures, so that there will be no disasters.

This line shows that honesty should choose the object.Ninth Five-Year: If there is a fuss, there is no blame.

"Xiang" said: If there is a pregnancy convulsion, the position is right.

"Longru" is to join hands with each other. The "Ninth Five-Year Plan" is in the hexagram, full of masculinity, possessing the "Zhongfu" virtue of integrity in the heart, and respecting the position, becoming the main body of this hexagram.Below, there are "Ninety-two" who also have the virtues of Zhongfu, and they have become comrades hand in hand.As the "Xiang Zhuan" said, the position is right, so there is no blame.

Upper Nine: Han Yin ascends to the sky, chaste and vicious.

"Xiang" said: "Han Yin ascends to the sky", how can it grow. "Hanyin" is a chicken. "Book of Rites · Quli" says: "The chicken used for sacrifice is called Hanyin." mean.The crowing of a rooster can reach as high as the sky, but the rooster is underground, its sound is high and it is not with the entity.So that the name does not match the reality.This hexagram is faith, and the rooster crows at the right time every day, so it is used as a metaphor for faith.Judging from the shape of the hexagram, the upper hexagram "Xun" is also a symbol of the chicken.

The masculinity of the "Shangjiu" does not mean that there is no integrity in the heart, but it has reached the extreme of faith in hexagrams, and it is too self-confident.Just like a chicken cannot fly high, but wants to climb to the sky, and soon falls to the ground.The rooster can crow long and loudly, reaching the sky, but it still stays in the ground. This means that although the mind is pure, it is just like what Mencius said. Every man pushes himself into the ditch and suffers on his own. Inexcusable.Of course it is dangerous, and it will not last long.

This line shows that you should not block yourself because of integrity.The Zhongfu hexagram explains the principle of credit reduction.Integrity is the foundation of standing in the world, the root of all morality, can shorten the distance, communicate will, promote harmony and unity, play the role of enlightenment, and can be aggressive, adventurous and difficult, but it is not unprincipled, and should be based on purity The prerequisite is to be cautious at the beginning of everything, and to carefully discern beforehand. If you are suspicious, you should not trust it, and you should not doubt your trust, otherwise you will inevitably hesitate.at a loss.
