Extended information

"Jieshi" comes from the "Book of Changes".

One of the 64 hexagrams in the "Book of Changes" is called the "Yu" hexagram, and its hexagram is "Li Jianhou Xingshi", which is beneficial to the founding of the country, the appointment of a marquis, and the marching and fighting.

According to "The Legend of Tuan", "One strength corresponds to five softnesses, and the goal is to move upward, and move according to reason." The sixty-second line of the Yu hexagram: "Between the stones, it will last forever, and it will be chaste and auspicious." "彖" says: "You will never be chaste and auspicious all day long" to be righteous.

The meaning of these lines is: it is most auspicious to have a strong mind, be as solid as a rock, and not indulge in pleasure all day long. The reason is because it can be centered and correct.
