introduction

Gan is the heaven, Kun is the earth, Gan is the yang, Kun is the yin and Zhouyi is the book of changes. However, looking at the meanings of the hexagrams in Kun and the evolution relationship between the hexagrams in Kun, we will also find that it is inappropriate to simply understand the hexagrams in Kun as just a kind of yin hexagrams. The divination of Kun, like the divination of Gan, is also a part of the general theory of Zhouyi, and it also contains the meaning of Zhouyi. From the study of the hexagrams of Kun, it will reveal the following problems: the first is that the hexagrams of Kun, like the hexagrams of Gan, reflect the whole process of the development and evolution of a thing from the beginning to the end. For example, the hexagram "On the sixth day of Kun" is about the hardships of a thing's beginning, which, like the hexagram "On the ninth day of Gan", is all about the beginning of a thing. Kun's divination went through the heyday of Huang Shang from June 2 to June 5, just as Gan's divination went through the heyday of flying dragons in the sky from September 2 to September 5. Kun's divination goes to the period when the dragon fights in the wild and the period when the chastity is used, which is the same as the period when the divination of Gan's divination goes to the period when the dragon repents. The second problem revealed in the hexagrams of Kun is that the hexagrams of Kun are all Yin (-) signs, and the other hexagrams have the yin attribute of "benefiting the horse's chastity". The contents of other hexagrams do not all discuss the yin attribute of the hexagrams of Kun from the feminine side, and the general Yi scholars only use yin. For example, the "June 3 rd" slogan "contains Zhang Kezhen; Or from the king's affairs, nothing will come to an end, which has always been interpreted as "to assist the monarch" to make contributions, and to be "authentic", "wife's way" and "minister's way" In fact, this meaning refers to directly engaging in the royal business, which has the same meaning as "or following the king's business and achieving nothing" in the book of litigation. For another example, the "June 4th" concept of "enveloping the bag, not complaining about it" has always been interpreted as "tightening the bag mouth, not saying anything, so that it won't be praised, but it will also avoid disaster". This interpretation is still based on "vagina", "minister's way" and "wife's way". In fact, this meaning refers to the universal aspiration of "no regrets", just like the hexagram "94" in Gan, it refers to the "adults" in Zhouyi showing their talents and ambitions. For another example, the "Dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is mysterious and yellow" in Shang Liu has always been interpreted as "Yin qi is extremely abundant, fighting with Yang qi in the suburbs" according to "tunnel" and "vagina". This is actually a misunderstanding. When Yin and Yang are at war, how can dragons fight with dragons? The third problem revealed in the divination of Kun is that, like the divination of Gan, it discusses the whole process of the development and evolution of a thing from a philosophical point of view, and it is still discussed around the competition of political power when applied to specific issues. If Gan divination only uses "hidden dragon" to "flying dragon" and then "kanglong" to compare the rise and decline of "gentlemen" and "adults" in Zhouyi, while Kun divination uses "or from the king's affairs" and "enveloping the four seas" to annex the heart of the Eight Wastes and the "Huang Shang" costumes of emperors. We should pay special attention to these problems when we study the hexagrams of Kun. If we don't understand these problems, we will just get some enlightenment from the hexagrams of Gan in Zhouyi, and then fall into confusion in the hexagrams of Kun.

Meaning of hexagrams

The second hexagram Kun is the land (Kun hexagram) and stretches softly

The upper hexagram

Like saying: Fat sheep lose their group and enter the hills, hungry tigers will open their mouths whenever they meet them, and the palatability will fill their intestines and make them happy. If the hexagram is taken up, it will flourish.

This hexagram is overlapped with the hexagram (Xiakun Shangkun) and is negative. Symbolically (as opposed to divination), obey heaven. Carrying everything, stretching endlessly. Kungua, symbolized by a female horse, shows that she bears and raises everything in an authentic way, and is docile in nature. It proves that "Kun" obeys "doing" by "getting lost first", and only by following "doing" can we grasp the correct direction, follow the right path and gain good luck.

Career: various careers can be successful and get the expected results, but it is unfavorable to start a career and is disturbed by difficulties. Don't take risks and rush, be careful what you say and do, especially don't act alone and arbitrarily. It is most important to get the care and support of friends. With the cooperation of others, * * * will accomplish the cause together. Therefore, we should pay attention to inner self-cultivation, save and cultivate morality, follow the example of the earth, tolerate heavy burdens, be generous, be frank, square and implicit, and not be greedy and arrogant, persevere and seek success in our career.

doing business: the opportunity is not very good. Don't take risks, just be steady. When encountering setbacks, be sure to sum up your experience immediately. Pay attention to the storage of goods, wait for the price to sell, and be careful everywhere.

seeking fame: if you are relatively smooth, have the basic conditions, be down-to-earth, work hard, and don't pursue things outside your body, you will be lucky.

going out: it is advisable to travel in groups. Can go to a strange place.

marriage and love: yin sheng. Be gentle, the woman is submissive, a beautiful marriage, and a lifetime.
