I believe everyone is familiar with the "Book of Changes". Reading the Book of Changes can help you understand many major principles of life. The Tao in the Book of Changes refers to "one yin and one yang called Tao". From the Book of Changes, many things in life can be understood that are difficult to understand and cannot be seen through. The essence of the I Ching lies in three sentences. If you understand these three sentences, you have truly understood the I Ching. Let me see if you are familiar with these three sentences.

The essence of the I Ching lies in three sentences:

< p> The first sentence is: "When you walk on frost, you will reach solid ice." Literally, when you step on thin frost, you know that it is not far away from freezing. Its actual meaning is "trembling with fear, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice" in the Book of Songs, which tells us to be vigilant and know how to prepare for a rainy day.

Just as Confucius emphasized in "The Analects of Confucius" that "a gentleman has three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults, and fear of the words of saints." With awe, we will be considerate when dealing with others. Lao Tzu is a representative figure who has done a very good job in this regard. He said: "Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know." He just wants to express that you should not talk too much and think twice before every word you say, so that you will not make mistakes so easily. .

The second sentence is "straight, square and big". King Wu of Zhou emphasized "straight, square, and large" because he wanted to tell us that we must be "upright, orderly, and large-scale" in life. However, it is not easy to achieve these three points. This is the essence of the Book of Changes. sentence.

"Integrity, orderliness, and a big pattern" are the foundation of life. As the saying goes, "A gentleman should be based on his roots. And Tao is born.” However, in the workplace, we will always find some villains who will do whatever it takes to squeeze out others in order to gain the upper hand.

The third sentence is "Containing Zhang Ke Zhen". From "Book of Changes" Kun Sixty-three: Han Zhang Ke Zhen. Or if you work for the king, there will be no success and no end. "Han Zhang Ke Zhen" refers to the fact that we must have excellent connotations. In this society that likes to seek outsiders, many people strive for fame and fortune, and end up becoming less like human beings and less like ghosts than ghosts. We all set out so far that we forget to return to our original intention: "Look within."

Confucius said: "The scholars of ancient times were for themselves, but the scholars of today are for others." This sentence still rings true today. We often live for others instead of ourselves. If we can "walk on frost and reach firm ice", "straight, square, big", and "contain rules and be honest", we will definitely be able to surpass what ordinary people can't do.
