"The Book of Changes Zhengyi" Explanation of the Poems Uploaded in the Series 7 From the Yi to the Perfection to the Transformation to God
Inscribed poem:
There are four ways of the sage in the Yi Yan: If it is used to speak, it is still important to use words;
If it is used to move, it is still necessary to change it; if it is used to make utensils, it is still important to obtain images;
If it is used to predict things, I still want to take possession of it. As a gentleman, when you are about to do something,
When you are about to do something, ask what you want to say, and when you receive the order, there is no distance,
There is no depth, Then I know that the thing that comes is not the ultimate essence of heaven, who can do it here.
Consult with others to change, combine the numbers, and connect the hexagram changes to form the text of the world;
Extremely hexagram number , determine the phenomena of the world. Unless it changes, who can do this?
It is easy to have no thought, it is easy to be inactive, to be silent and motionless, to feel and understand,
The reason for the world , who is not the supreme god, who can do this? It is easy for the husband to change,
Therefore, the sage studies a few things very deeply. Only the deep ones can understand the aspirations of the world;
Only a few can achieve them. , the affairs of the world; only because of the gods, do not rush but speed,
Don't go and arrive. Confucius said: It is easy to have a sage, and the way is fourfold,
This is also called .To be easy to be precise, to be sincere and affectionate, to be sincere and sincere,
To be easy to be constant, to be easy to change, and to be able to adapt to changes; to be easy to be changed,
to be changeable but not permanent , Extravagant but not ordinary. Caused by sincerity, the non-existent can be transformed into something.
It is meticulous, neither thinking nor doing, true feelings are easy to be deep, and the will can become something. ?

"Yi" has four principles of the sage: those who speak highly of their words; Those who use it to move are worthy of change, those who make utensils are worthy of its images, and those who use divination are worthy of its divination. Therefore, when a gentleman is about to do something, when he is about to do something, he will ask questions and speak, and his orders will be heard like a ring. There is no distance or depth, and he will know that what is coming is not the best in the world. Who among them can match this③. Participate in the changes, combine their numbers ④, and understand the changes, and then become the world's text; the extreme number, then determine the world's image ⑤. Unless the world changes, who can cope with this? "Yi" There is no thought, no action, silence and no movement, and the reason why it connects to the world. If not the supreme god in the world, who can compare with this? Husband: "Yi", the reason why the sage is so profound is because he has studied a lot. It is only deep, so it can reach the aspirations of the world; it is only few, so it can accomplish the tasks of the world; it is only divine, so it can be done quickly without going fast, and it can be achieved without moving ⑦. Confucius said, "The Book of Changes contains four aspects of the sage's way." This is what he calls it.
Notes on Wang Bi of the Wei Dynasty and Kong Yingda of the Shu Tang Dynasty
"Yi" has four principles of the sage: those who use words value their words, those who use movement value their changes, and those who use control Those who use utensils value their images, and those who use divination tools value their divination. "These four exist in the form of utensils and can be obtained and used.
[Sparse] "The Book of Changes has" to "Qizhao". Zhengyi said: "The Book of Changes has the four principles of the sage. " Those who say that the "Book of Changes" is a book and have the way used by sages have four things to do. "Those who speak highly of their words" mean that those who speak and teach politics and education value the words of their Yao and Hexagrams. His words are used to implement politics and education. "Those who use movement will bring about changes." Therefore, the change of Yin and Yang will lead to good and bad things. "Those who make utensils should pay attention to their images." It means that those who make shaped utensils should use the symbols of Yao and Gua. If they make arcs and arrows, they will be the symbols of the eyes. If they make pestles and mortars, they will be the symbols of Xiaoguo. "Those who use divination will pay attention to their divination." Therefore, the divination is based on the use of the divination vessel. Even though the turtle sees omens, there are also changes in the three elements of yin and yang. Therefore, divination and the divination are also based on the divination of the changes in the Yao Gua. Zhengyi said: "Ci" means Yao Ci, and "Yao Ci" means change. Seeing its coming and going is also the image of utensils. "Xiang" refers to its shape, and "Zhan" refers to its shape. Things that have substance. Having substance means that something can be used, so it is said that it can be used.
Therefore, when a gentleman is about to do something, he will say something. His orders are like a sound, and there is no distance or depth, so he knows that he is not the best in the world.
[Shu] Zhengyi said: "This is why the gentleman will do something." "When something is about to be done, ask what it is and then speak it." Since there are four ways to change things, a gentleman will do something he wants to do, and when he wants to do something, he will ask about his good or bad fortune, and then he will tell the order. " "It receives orders just like a ring" means that Yarrow accepts people's orders and reports good or bad fortune to others, just like the echo of a ring. "There is no distance or depth" means it is easy to tell people good or bad, and it does not matter whether it is far or near, nor how far or deep it is. Everything is told. "Things and things are known." However, it is easy to tell people about everything, so people can know what will happen in the future. "No one can do this." It is said that the power of Yi is so profound. If it is not in everything in the world, it is extremely subtle. Who can participate in this? This is the same as the Yi Dao. This is the conclusion.
Joining forces to achieve change, intricately understanding the changes, and then becoming the world's text; extreme numbers, then determining the world's phenomena, no one can achieve the ultimate change in the world. What about this?
[Shu] Zhengyi said: "Shen Wu, Wu Ye." Three or five, all numbers are the same. The "intricate number" means intersecting, and the combination means gathering. The intersecting number means the combination of yin and yang. Change.
"The writings of heaven and earth are then completed", because of its phase transformation, the writings of heaven and earth can be completed. If green and red are mixed together, it is called Wen. "Extreme numbers can determine the appearance of the world." It means that the extreme numbers of yin and yang can determine the appearance of all things in the world. Just like there are two hundred and sixteen strategies to determine the image of the old Yang of Qian, and one hundred and forty-four strategies are used to determine the image of the old Yin of Kun, the rest can be seen. "Without the extreme changes in the world, who can match this?" This is the reason for the change. If not for the extreme changes in everything in the world, who can match this? It is impossible to say. This is the way to change the formation of Yi, so it is said to be "with this". The former "Classic" has a profound theory of Yi, so it is said that it is "not the best in the world". This "Jing" discusses a lot of changes, so it is said that "it is not the ultimate change in the world."
It is easy to have no thought, no action, silence and motionlessness, and the feeling can then connect to the world. If it is not the supreme god in the world, who can be like this? If you don't forget the image, you can't control it. Those who are not left behind cannot be counted to the extreme. The most refined person cannot be in chaos if he has no plan. Those who have changed will be unified without any defects. The Supreme God is silent and omnipotent. The mother of Si Gai's function is the basis of the number of images. Therefore, if it is not the most refined and transformed, it cannot be compared to this.
[Sparse] "Yi Wu Si" to "here". Zhengyi said: "It is easy to change without thinking, without doing anything." If you let things happen naturally and don't care about them, it is without thinking. "Silent and unmoving, the reason why it connects to the world" is that there is no thought and no action, so it is "quiet and unmoving". If you feel something, you will respond to it, and everything will be connected. This is the reason why "the feeling will lead to the world." Therefore, it is called accident, and it refers to everything in the world. "If it is not the supreme god in the world, who among them can be like this?" It is said that Yili's magical power is unpredictable, and among all things in the world, it is not the most miraculous, but who among them can be like this. This "Sutra" makes it clear that Yili is mysterious and unpredictable, so it says, "It is not the supreme god in the world." If it is not the supreme god in the world, who can be like this. Note "not forgetting the image". Zhengyi said: "If you don't forget the image, you can't control the image." Anyone who has his own image cannot control the image of other things, just like the sea cannot control the image of a mountain, and the mountain cannot control the image of the sea. Those who forget the image can control the image of all things. "Things that are not left behind cannot be counted to the extreme." If we count things, we cannot count them to the extreme. Just as if you count by tens of thousands, you cannot reach billions; if you count by 100 million, you cannot reach hundreds of billions. If you leave out a few names, everything will be perfect. If you leave out the number of right and wrong, there is no way to limit them all. It is said that "the most refined person can't mess up even if he has no plan." The person who has the most refined mind and the Xuan Tong can remember all the billions. Even if he has no plan, he can't mess up. Those who say, "Those who are extremely changeable are unified in their principles without exception." Those who understand the principle of change to the extreme are able to embody the principle of pure unity, and their changes are all comprehensive and comprehensive. Although there are changes in all kinds of things, they all end up in one change. "The mother of function is the basis of the number of images." It means the most precise, the most changeable, and the most divine. These three are the mothers of the functions of things. The functions of things, the combination of images and numbers, come from this to perfection, change, and spirit. Therefore, it is said that "images and numbers are based on". The reason why there is an image in saying that there is an image, does it come from the image? It is natural that there is an image from Taixu. The reason why there are numbers in numbers comes from number. It is natural that there is number because of Taixu. It is the image of Taixu. The number of Taixu is the most refined and the most changeable. From it to perfection, it can control numbers; from its transformation, it can control images. If one is not extremely refined, extremely transformed, and extremely spiritual, one cannot participate in the most wonderful mystical principles.
Fu Yi, the reason why a sage studies deeply is because he studies deeply. It is only deep, so it can reach the aspirations of the world. There are only a few, so it can become the world's business. The most unformed principle is called deep, and the subtle and adaptable principles are called several.
[Sparse] Zhengyi said: "The reason why the sage of Fu Yi is extremely deep is to study a few micrometers." He said that the Yi Dao is grand, so the sage uses it, so it is extremely deep and deep, but to study it is a few microscopic points. "Extremely deep" refers to the first verse of the previous "Sutra" which says: "A gentleman is about to do something, about to do something, and when he asks what he wants to do, he speaks, and his orders are like a ring, and there is no distance or depth." This is extremely deep. "Gan Ji" refers to the second section of the "Jing" which says, "Joining the numbers to change them, intricately combining the numbers, and understanding the changes, it becomes the text of heaven and earth; the extreme number is used to determine the image of the world." This is the meaning of "Gan Ji". "Only because it is deep, it can understand the world's affairs." The sage uses the Yi Dao to be extremely profound. Therefore, the sage's virtue is profound, so he can understand the world's will. This is the first section of the previous "Jing" "What should I ask and say?" , His orders are like a ring, and he knows what is coming, which is his ambition to connect the world. "There are only a few, so it can accomplish the affairs of the world." The sage uses the Yi Dao to study the few, so the sage understands a few things, which is the subsection of the previous "Jing" "Consult with the numbers to change, intricately understand the changes, and then understand the changes." "It is the writing of heaven and earth." A few are separated from nothingness and enter existence, which is the beginning of existence. To be able to know the beginning. Then you can prosper and carry out your affairs, so you can achieve the affairs of the world.
It is God, so it can be done quickly without going fast, and it can be achieved without moving. Confucius said: "There are four ways of becoming a sage." This is what he calls it. The fourth is accomplished by the holy way, so it is called "the way of the saint".
[Sparse] Zhengyi said: "It is only divine, so it is fast without being fast, and it is achieved without walking." This is a reflection of the magical power of the Book of Changes in the second section of the Sutra. With no thought and no action, stillness and stillness, the feeling can be understood, so there is no need to rush, and things can be done quickly; no action is required, and the reason comes naturally. The next section of the case says that "Wei Shen Ye" means "the ambition to connect the world", and "Wei Ji Ye" means "to achieve the world's affairs". Today, "Only God" means "quickly without going fast, arriving without walking", and does not say "all over the world", God's principles are subtle and unfathomable. There is no image and no merit. In the affairs of the world, there is no reason to judge. Therefore, it is not said that "it has made a contribution to the world". Confucius said: "It is easy to say that there are four ways of a sage, and this is what we call it." The beginning of the chapter discusses the four ways of a sage, and the three things are described in the middle of the chapter. It is concluded at the end of the chapter, so it is called "the four ways of a sage" "That's what it means. At the beginning of the chapter, "There are four ways of a saint," Han's note says, "These four exist in the image of a tool and can be obtained and used." This means Ci, change, image, and account. It is a tangible thing, and its shape can be known.
As stated in the chapter, there are three things. One is the ultimate essence, and essence is only deep. The second is to change, and change is only a few. The third is the Supreme God. God is subtle and formless, and is nothing. Since God is invisible, the three things in the chapter cannot match the four things at the beginning of the chapter. Han said that "the four things exist in the image of the utensil." Therefore, the three things in the chapter cannot be matched with the four things at the beginning of the chapter. But doing these four things will lead to the three things in this chapter. Therefore, there are three things mentioned in the chapter, which are summarized below as "the four principles of the saint's way".
