"Unfortunate": Heng and Xiao Hu help the economy, and follow its tail, which is not beneficial.
Xun said: "I am not good" and "constant", I am also gentle. A little fox helps the poor, but it doesn't come from the middle. It's not good to follow its tail. It doesn't continue. Although it is not in place, it should be both rigid and flexible. "
"Xiang" said: "The fire is in Mizunokami, but it is not good"; A gentleman will carefully distinguish things from others. "
Day 6: Sloppy tail.
"Elephant" said, "I don't know its end."
92: Drag its wheels, Zhen Ji.
"Xiang" said: "Both' 92' and' Zhen Ji' are right."
Sixty-three: it's useless, and it's fierce. Benefit from dachuan.
"Elephant" said: "If you don't help, you will attack."
94: Zhen Ji, regret your death. Use the earthquake to cut the edge of the devil and reward the big country for three years.
"Xiang" said: "'Zhen Ji, regret death', it must be done."
June 5th: Zhen Ji, no regrets. The light of a gentleman is blessed.
"Xiang" said: "The light of a gentleman is also auspicious."
Serving wine: drinking is not strange; In the beginning, there are gains and losses.
"Xiang" said: "I don't know how to drink" and "nod". "
[Note] Unfortunately, the name of the six-pointed star symbolizes that things have not succeeded. Cave (q √): Go straight by "plastic". Ji: Crossing the sea. Soft: wet. Soft: the fifth is yin, which ranks among the hexagrams. Not out: not out of the middle. There is no end: you can't go on, you can't cross the river. Improper position: the first, third and fifth hexagrams are yin, but in the yang position, and the second, fourth and sixth hexagrams are yang, but in the yin position. Combining rigidity with softness: it means that the upper and lower hexagrams are opposite, that is, the first and fourth hexagrams, and the second and fifth hexagrams are opposite. Be careful: be careful. Distinguish between things: distinguish between things. Neighbor: In a certain location or position. At the end: See the hexagrams in Historical Records. Extreme: as a warning, the meaning of warning. When you say "I don't know the pole", it is interpreted as "I don't know the pole". Drag its wheel: see the annotation of Gigi Gua. Shocked: When it is a person's name, it is the monarch or minister of Zhou. Usage: function words, meaningless. Ghost Fang: The country name, one of the ancient tribes, was a powerful nation in the northwest at that time. Great country: refers to Yin country. Light: Rongye. Fu: Same as "captive". You Fu (fú): Xiang Zhuan is interpreted as sincerity. Hui: Glory is also used as a verb here. F: This means "fine". Fu You: Xiang Zhuan is understood to be complete. First of all: I drank so much that I spilled wine on my head. Yes: Yaya. Abstinence: Ignorance is excessive drinking.

The unhelpful divination of Appreciation is the sixty-fourth and last divination in Zhouyi. It and the sixty-third Ji Ji divination are both comprehensive divination and wrong divination, so it is called "intricate divination". "Aid" means crossing the river, and "no aid" literally means not crossing the river, which means that one thing is not completed. The six strategies for ending the Book of Changes are named "uneconomical", which means that any completion is an unfinished end, the emergence of new problems and the beginning of new goals.
This philosophy is mainly explained by analyzing the hexagrams, from which we can grasp the dialectics of success and failure, end and beginning, new and old, life and death. The first hexagram, that is, the first, third and fifth hexagrams of Gigi are all Yang hexagrams, and they are all in the Yang position, while the second, fourth and sixth hexagrams are all Yin hexagrams, all in the Yin position, and both Yin and Yang are in their respective positions, which is unique among all the 64 hexagrams in Zhouyi, indicating that things have achieved their due results. On the contrary, neither yin nor yang is in place, and the only one of the 64 hexagrams shows that the matter has not been successful, but Xun Chuan pointed out: "Although it is not in place, it is advisable to combine rigidity with softness." In other words, new opposites and contradictions have emerged, and new changes are brewing. This also means new opportunities to change the old situation, another new development trend is taking shape, and new life is budding.
The so-called "combining rigidity with softness" is a comparative analysis of the images of the two classics (that is, the upper and lower hexagrams) according to image mathematics. Although the hexagrams are not in the right position, the upper and lower hexagrams correspond to each other, which means that the lower hexagrams and the upper hexagrams are in opposite positions (that is, the first hexagrams of the lower hexagrams correspond to the first hexagrams of the upper hexagrams, and the second and third hexagrams are in opposite directions). This also makes this hexagram full of vitality. Judging from the things represented by the Second Classics, the next hexagram is water, the upper hexagram is fire, the water is down, the fire is up, and the upper and lower hexagrams run counter to each other, indicating that things have not succeeded, which is consistent with the name and meaning of the hexagram. But fire and water are opposite. Fire and water meet and win each other, which symbolizes the interaction and mutual sympathy between the opposing sides. In the eyes of Yi-ology scholars, this is the vitality of life. Therefore, bad divination shows that there is motivation inside things and there is hope in the future, although the situation is still very grim, so we need to be cautious and do what we can.
As can be seen from the above, "good luck" and "no help", success or failure, old and new, death and life, alternate with each other, forming an endless process of the universe. As an extremely profound wisdom, this thorough concept of change in Zhouyi is a very conscious consciousness, which permeates all its symbols and words to analyze and explain any practical and theoretical problems. This concept is a very sharp theoretical weapon to get rid of stagnant views, inaction and conservative tendencies.
Zhouyi is not satisfied with a general description of the universal laws and inevitable trends of the universe. Its main interest is to study how people can guide their practical activities according to this universal law in order to achieve success. It sees the unity of opposites and interrelations between success and failure, but it does not advocate relativism sophistry, and does not think that success is failure and failure is success. Its main idea and highest wisdom lies in turning failure into success in the most effective way. Among the numerous divinatory images, the concept of "zhong" put forward in Zhuan is of decisive significance to this change. "Zhong" is one of the main concepts advocated in Zhouyi, and it is also the basic theoretical tool used to explain the names of hexagrams, hexagrams, hexagrams and words in Yi Zhuan. From a mathematical point of view, the middle refers to the middle position of the upper and lower hexagrams, that is, the second and fifth hexagrams in a six-hexagram. From a philosophical point of view, Chinese means the right way, the middle way and the mean, and its basic meaning is justice, that is, integrity and correctness; Everything is not excessive, that is, it is not excessive and does not go to extremes; Adopt attitudes, ways and methods suitable for specific situations and meet the external conditions at a specific time; Coordination and balance between different factors. In the Book of Changes, the good fortune and bad fortune of the sixty-four hexagrams are almost all related to whether the auspicious elephant is in the middle or not, and whether the implied person is in the middle. Because of this emphasis on the importance of China's calligraphy, China's calligraphy has become a necessary condition for the success of Zhouyi.
After the introduction of divinatory symbols, the useless divinatory symbols were broken into "Heng". Why is it that things are "constant" without success? "Haiku" is said because "softness wins China". This means that the fifth is yin and soft, but it is in the middle of the upper divination, so the cloud is soft. In China's philosophical discourse, softness originally refers to the dominated, weak and powerless aspects. Obviously, this sign is not encouraging for those who are eager to succeed. However, a word "zhong" has the power to reverse Gan Kun and make unsuccessful things flourish. The meaning of haiku is obvious, a person's strength is weak, but if he is arranged in the right position, takes the right road and adopts appropriate methods, his career will also develop. Similarly, the reason why hexagrams say that "the fox helps the economy, following its tail, is not beneficial" is also because "it is not in the middle". From the elephant's point of view, it is dangerous to be trapped in the water and never get out. Literally, the result of the fox crossing the river is not good, because the fox did not take appropriate measures, so that he entered the water and his tail was soaked. This is to warn those inexperienced but self-righteous novices not to act rashly, but to be good at learning and adopt correct methods to solve the problems they face. It is worth noting that the understanding of "zhong" here is very flexible and not rigid. Because what Zhouyi said is not fixed and there is no constant standard, it is to maintain a dynamic balance, just as Zhu said, it conforms to the heat in winter; Summer in Seeking?in is just nervousness.
In short, the world outlined in Zhouyi is not closed, but open, and the balance is always temporary. Any completion is only the end of a link, the end of a stage. The imbalance and interaction between yin and yang will break the original balance, start a new link and stage, and seek a new balance. The world is constantly moving forward in the endless replacement of balance and imbalance, success and failure.
