The full text of this sentence is: "It is a gentleman who takes peace and changes the order; Those who have fun have good speeches. Therefore, if a gentleman is alive, he must look at the image and play with words. If he moves, look at his changes and play his career. It is a godsend and there is no harm. " This sentence has made it very clear how "the sky is blessed, and there is no disadvantage."
First of all, what is a gentleman? The word "Jun" comes from the mouth of Yin Cong, written by Yin Wei, that is, playing with a pen, extended to governance, and the mouth is issuing orders. So your original intention is the person in charge of the upper administrative order. Zi is an honorific title. Therefore, there is a saying that "gentlemen work hard and villains work hard". The gentleman mentioned by Confucius here refers not only to those who manage from a higher position, but also to those who are in harmony with Tao and morality. At the same time, Yijing worships Yang and suppresses Yin, calling Yang a gentleman and Yin a villain.
What do those moral people live in peace? It is the "sequence of changes", and the Book of Changes is a cosmic science, paying attention to time and space and orientation. In terms of time, there is a certain time sequence, such as spring, summer, autumn and winter. In terms of orientation, there are southeast, northwest and changing order, that is, the time order and position order shown in the Book of Changes.
For example, water mountain divination is very difficult, which means danger and difficulty. Why is it difficult? Because, the corresponding time of divination is 1 1 month, it is the cold winter, the sunshine is weak, and autumn is collected in winter. This is not the time to make great achievements. You should be practical and low-key. When it comes to stone melons, the corresponding time is April. At this time, the long summer is beneficial to Yang, so we can make a difference. This is a chronological order.
"It was hard to know at first, but it was easy to know; Second-class honor or above, and fifth-class meritorious service or above; The third is fierce, and the fourth is more afraid. "This is a position. Jia Bu said: "Home, women are inside, men are outside, men and women are on the right, and the meaning of heaven and earth is also great. Family members are strict, and parents are strict. Father, son, brother, brother, husband and wife, family pair; At home and the world will decide. " This is also about order. "Don't use the hidden dragon" and "Kang Long has regrets" are also because of the order. For another example, heaven and earth are different, and heaven and earth are peaceful because of order. A: No, Ron Artest, because the order is different, the result is very different, so we know the meaning of the order.
[People who have a good time, talk well. Those gentlemen, who have nothing to do, take pleasure in playing the Book of Changes. Like Confucius, he played the Book of Changes fondly, and Wei made up three unique works, which shows his admiration and love for the Book of Changes. Therefore, some people still regard the Book of Changes as superstition, which is really boring. Lao Tzu put it well: "Scholars are diligent when they smell the Tao, and they walk when they smell the Tao. If he had survived, the corporal would have laughed at the word, but it was not enough to laugh. " The real gentleman, the superior person, is good at the Book of Changes, while those ordinary people scoff and disdain, which is why ordinary people.
Gua is the ancient interpretation of the Book of Changes. Through the evaluation of hexagrams, we can better understand the heaven implied in the Book of Changes. Note that Confucius used "people who like to play" here, and used music and play. This is the attitude of learning the Book of Changes. Don't be too persistent, too persistent, and don't take it seriously, which will be too ignorant, and don't treat the Book of Changes as pure knowledge, which will be too tasteless. The real book of changes is like a puzzle, a game of chess, and the real fun lies in playing it. It is interesting to learn easy to learn in this way.
Zhouyi is very interesting, but it seems that few people have played it since Confucius. After that, the six hexagrams, eight characters and plum blossoms are all easy to count, and it seems that they have gone astray again.
Therefore, a gentleman plays with his words by observing his image and his account by observing his change. I'll talk about it before playing with its words. Look at its image. This image is the image of the Book of Changes, which is the image symbolized by the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes was summed up by the ancients who looked up the sky and looked down on geography. Einstein put forward the theory of relativity, which is very remarkable. In fact, can I say that Einstein copied it? Isn't China's Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram Relativity? The ancients in China not only had the theory of relativity, but also had a better theory-similarity theory. The image in the Book of Changes is based on the theory of similarity. Some people in China study similarity theory as a national topic. I have seen the old man, but unfortunately I haven't seen the book yet.
The image of the Book of Changes, or similarity theory, is really a great invention. Now almost all scientific inventions are based on similarity theory. Planes are like birds and submarines are like fish. We often say that analogy is the essence of the Book of Changes. Because the ancients found that everything in the world is similar, not only similar, but also internally related. Just like listening to Mr. Ceng Shiqiang talk about the Book of Changes yesterday, he mentioned that we have 14 joints in one hand, 28 joints in two hands, and there are exactly 28 nights in the sky. Many things are not coincidences. If we can study and understand all these coincidences, then the Book of Changes will work.
You can watch it change and play with it if you move. If you want to do something, you can do divination. Move, not move, but move, doubt, no doubt. Change is flexibility. The hexagrams are not dead, but changing. We often talk about "complexity". Complexity is the four ways to change hexagrams in the Book of Changes. In addition, there are hidden hexagrams, mutual hexagrams, semi-images and holograms. One hexagram can change into many hexagrams, which is the real fun of the Book of Changes. So, you say, what is divination for? Know the future? That is beside the point. It fell into the path. The real divination is Ming Dow's, exploring all possibilities, that is, change. This is mainly reflected in "using nine" and "using six". It's a dragon that sees the head but doesn't see the tail, and its use is endless. However, few people can use it now.
Now divination has become a meaning, but divination is divination, divination is divination, divination is divination, divination is divination, divination is divination, and divination is a crack in the tortoise shell, because in ancient times, divination was to suddenly put red-hot metal into the tortoise shell, and the tortoise shell cracked when heated. The ancients used these cracks for divination. So divination means divination. Zhan added a mouth under the divination, which means to tell the result of divination with his mouth, which means to break the divination. What you need to play is to break the hexagrams. According to the possibility revealed by the Book of Changes, choosing good and following is the real occupation, that is, breaking divination. Therefore, the essence of divination in the Book of Changes is to know your present situation, find out the solution, choose the good one and follow it. Only in this way can divination be interesting, so it is "playing". Playing it has another meaning, that is, seven minutes is natural, and three minutes is artificial. Just don't be too serious, don't completely believe in divination, but also pay attention to your own will and judgment, and completely believe in the Book of Changes. This is not fun, it is superstition.
Originally, I wanted to simplify the complex, but it seemed to be complicated all the way down.
To sum up, what is the Book of Changes about? It's the sky, the law of nature and the law of the universe. Whether playing with his words or playing with his career, there is only one purpose: Ming Dow, follow the Tao and make his behavior conform to the Tao. In this case, "since God bless it, there is no disadvantage." I am in complete harmony with the Tao, and heaven and man are one. I am no different from him. Where can there be any accusations? Lucky, of course.
If the Buddha does not measure himself,
God helps others to help themselves;
If my heart can be in harmony with heaven,
