Ding hexagram knows people and makes good use of them
Small words and righteousness
Ding: Yuan Ji, Heng.On the sixth day, if the tripod bumps its toes, it will not be beneficial; if you get a concubine and take your son, there is no blame.Ninety-two tripod is solid, I have a disease in my hatred, if I can't do it, Ji.Nine three tripod ear leather, its travel is blocked, the pheasant ointment does not eat; Fang Yu regrets, and finally auspicious.Ninety-four tripod breaks the feet, covering the public and sparse, its shape is fertile and fierce.Sixth Five-Year Ding Huang Er Jin Xuan, Li Zhen.Shangjiu Ding Yuxuan, good luck, no disadvantages.

The tripod hexagram symbolizes the tripod vessel.Good luck and success.

In the sixth day of the lunar new year, the big tripod is turned upside down, with its feet facing up, which is suitable for dumping useless things; it is like taking a concubine and giving birth to a son, and the concubine is helped to be the main wife because of it, and there will be no disaster.

The ninety-two tripod is full of food, and my wife is sick and cannot approach me, so she will get auspicious.

Jiu San Ding loses its tripod ears, it is very difficult to move, and the delicious pheasant paste cannot be eaten; just as it rains and the clouds suddenly disperse, it will eventually be auspicious.

The ninety-four tripods were unable to bear the heavy load and the tripod's feet were broken, and all the delicacies of the princes were poured out, and the tripod's body was covered with dirt, which must be dangerous.

The six-five tripod is equipped with yellow tripod ears, and the tripod ears are paired with copper rings, which is conducive to divination.

The ear of the upper nine tripods is paired with a jade ring, which is good luck and good luck.

The elephant said: "There is fire on the wood, and there is a tripod."A gentleman lives in the right position.

"Ding" is an ancient utensil for cooking food. In "Ding Gua", cooking things are used to transform raw into cooked, which is a metaphor for adjusting things into new ones.And the hexagram of "Ding Gua" says: "A gentleman uses the right position to consolidate his life", pointing out that the establishment of the new system of things must rely on talents.Enabling the virtuous can remove the old and bring forth the new.Only by knowing people and being good at their duties, and giving talents a "right position", can they "fix their lives".

Talents in all aspects can only play a role in what they are good at.If a professor is asked to drive a carriage and an architect is asked to move bricks, they will definitely not be able to give full play to their strengths.Leaders must know where to use "good steel".

General Cao Wei of the Song Dynasty served in Qinzhou for a long time, and repeatedly wrote to him, asking for another person to replace him.Song Zhenzong asked: "Who can replace Cao Wei?" Wang Dan recommended Li Ji, and Zhenzong agreed.

Everyone was very skeptical that although Li Ji was cautious, loyal, and well-behaved, he was not a general stationed on the frontier.Han Yi told Wang Dan about everyone's opinions, but Wang Dan didn't answer anything.

When Li Ji arrived in Qinzhou, the soldiers also looked down on him.Not long after, it happened that a soldier in the Garrison Forbidden Army was robbing women's silver hairpins in broad daylight on the street. The officials caught him and took him to Li Ji.At that time, Li Ji was reading a book there, so he called the man to him and interrogated him briefly, and the man pleaded guilty.Li Ji also stopped discussing with the officials below, and immediately ordered him to be beheaded, and read the book as before.The soldiers were all amazed and admired.

Soon, Li Ji's reputation spread to the capital.After hearing this, Han Yi went to see Wang Dan again, told Wang Dan about Li Ji, and praised Wang Dan for his understanding of people.Wang Dan said with a smile: "It is common for the general to behead a soldier on the border for stealing. What is there to be surprised about? The reason why I use Li Ji is not for this reason. Because Cao Wei served as Qin In the seventh year of the state, the Qiang people feared and admired him. Cao Wei has done a good job in handling the frontier affairs. If other people are sent, they will definitely think they are smart, greatly change Cao Wei's governance measures, and ruin Cao Wei's political achievements. The reason why Li Ji was sent is because he is stable and honest, and he will definitely stick to Cao Wei's career." Han Yi was more and more impressed by Wang Dan's insight and tolerance.

"Preface to Sending Zhang Taoist" says: "A great craftsman has no waste materials, and each ruler has his own way." It means that for skilled craftsmen, there is no waste material. Long has long uses, and short has short uses. .The same is true for employing people. The key lies in whether they can "know people and do their jobs well".Only by knowing people well, can people give full play to their talents and be used for me.

Life wisdom
Carefully observe and carefully analyze the unique characteristics of each talent, and rationally allocate these talents to their "places to use" in order to make the best use of everything and let our cause get greater help.

The [-]th thunder shook, panicked and fell into the quagmire.

On June [-]th, thunder shakes, and there is danger in going up and down; there is no major loss, but accidents may occur.

The elephant said: thunder, earthquake.A gentleman cultivates himself with fear.

In life, dangers and catastrophes often come suddenly, but how should we face such things?Experienced people will calm down no matter what kind of difficult things they encounter, and find the best angle to solve the problem; while those without life experience will often immediately become confused and at a loss, not only unable to solve the problem, but also Mistake.

"Zhen Gua" said on the ninth day of the ninth day: "When the shock comes, the laughter will be hoarse and hoarse, good luck." It tells us a wisdom in life-everyone will inevitably encounter some sudden dangers. If we can still talk happily and calmly To deal with it calmly, without fear or fear, you will not be defeated.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juelai was the county magistrate of Hua County. Two Jiangyang thieves came to the county seat and pretended to be Jinyiwei to visit him.He took out the dagger in the inner hall, put it on Zhang Gong's neck, and said: "If we get the silver smoothly, you can live, otherwise the dagger will take your life immediately!"

Mr. Zhang restrained his inner tension, pretended not to be frightened, and said calmly: "I will do what you want, and I will not die easily for property!" Mr. Zhang continued: "The public treasury Silver has official marks. If you spend it, it will be easy to be discovered, and it will not be good for you. How about I borrow money from some rich people in the county, so that you can be safe and sound, and my official position will not be affected. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone." After hearing this, the two robbers agreed with Zhang Gong's method even more.

So Zhang Gong sent an order to his subordinate Liu Xiang to come.He knew that Liu Xiang was a scheming person, so he would definitely understand his intentions.After Liu Xiang arrived, Zhang Gong made up a random saying: "I offended my boss, and Jin Yiwei sent people to arrest me. These two are very kind and don't want to arrest me. I am very grateful to them and want to donate 5000 taels of silver to them. to show my heart."

Liu Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Where can I get so much money?" So Mr. Zhang took out his pen and wrote how much someone could borrow if he was the richest person;A total of nine people were written, which happened to match the number.

In fact, the nine people Zhang Gong wrote about are actually Hercules.After Liu Xiang saw it, he suddenly realized.After leaving the house, the cold wind came rushing in. Mr. Zhang excused himself to take shelter from the wind and cold, and brought out wine and vegetables to entertain them. He ate first and drank himself, so as to reassure the two robbers.Sure enough, the two robbers began to eat and drink.

As soon as the wine was finished, the nine people listed on the list, all dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding iron utensils wrapped in paper, came to the door one after another, pretending to say: "The silver that Mr. Zhang wants to borrow is brought, but Because time is too tight, I can’t make up the required amount, so I’m really sorry.” As he said, he pretended to beg for forgiveness.

When the two robbers heard that the money had arrived, and saw that these people really looked rich, they said happily, "Mr. Zhang really didn't lie to us."

Zhang Gong pretended to give them money, and left the robbers a little.At this time, the nine people held the wrapped iron objects and rushed forward to catch the thief.Zhang Gong hurriedly ran to the front hall, a robber got up and rushed to Zhang Gong, but couldn't catch up, so he raised his knife and committed suicide.Another robber was also about to commit suicide, but was quickly caught, tortured and executed, and his body was dismembered on the execution ground.

Zhang Juelai's courage and wisdom are worthy of praise. He was not frightened by the sudden gangsters, but dealt with them calmly, and was able to escape and capture the gangsters.

Life wisdom
Not only does fear not solve any problems, but it makes us act timidly, which is often the root of disadvantages and failures in doing things.In fact, fear and fear are only caused by our lack of self-confidence.Once we take courage, all confidence is restored.
