Dongpo Yi Chuan 苏轼 1937Words 2018-03-20
"Kun", Yuan Heng, the chastity of the mare. Dragon, change and self-use.Horses are tamed and used for people.It is used by human beings and female, so it goes along with it.If it is obedient but not chaste, it will fall into evil, so it is "beneficial to the chastity of the mare". A gentleman has a destiny, first loses, then wins, and benefits.Get friends in the southwest, lose friends in the northeast, An Zhenji? "Yuan" said: "Zai Kunyuan, all things come into being, and they follow the sky."Kun is thick with things, and virtue is boundless;Mares are land-like, they travel without boundaries, soft and smooth.When a gentleman is on the move, he loses his way first, and then gets along smoothly.To gain friends in the southwest is to go with others; to lose friends in the northeast is to celebrate at last.The auspiciousness of Anzhen has no boundaries.

"Kun" is the way, which can be used by others, but not for self-use; it can be used for peace, but not advocated;Going forward, asking for use; first you will get lost and lose the way, and then you will follow along to gain the master, so it is called "benefit".West and south, there are "Dui", "Li", and "Xun", my friend; east and north, there are "Zhen", "Kan", and "Qian" and "Gen", which are not My friend too.The two yin cannot be used together, so they must be separated from each other and seek the master in the northeast.The reason why a husband leaves his friends and seeks the Lord is not evil, so it is said: "An Zhenji"?

"Xiang" said: "The terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with virtue." "Kun" does not necessarily have the virtue of a monarch, and the situation where it lives is suitable for a minister.The book says: "A subject is moral for the superior, and for the people for the inferior." The sixth day of the lunar month: When you walk on the frost, the ice arrives. "Elephant" says: "When walking on frost and hard ice", the yin begins to condense; if you tame the way, you will reach the hard ice. The author who starts from the small and ends at the end is both yin and yang.But those who are independent of this precept, Yin is a thing, weak and easy to enter, so it is easy to trap people.Zheng Zichan said: "The water is weak, and the people play with it, so many people die."

Sixty-two: Straight, square, big, no practice, no disadvantages. "Xiang" said: "The movement of Liu Er, "straight" is also "square". "If you don't practice, you will have no disadvantages." It can be said that it is soft to be the second to the sixth.The husband is "straight, square, and big", how can he get it?Said: Sixty-two, it's the best.There is no other way for a gentleman to be obedient!Just be selfless.Therefore, its movement is also straight, centered and pushed straight to form a square.If it is straight and square, why not big?Shun produces straightness, straightness produces squareness, and squareness produces greatness. A gentleman does not do this intentionally, he follows reason and is selfless, and the three are self-generated.Therefore, it is said: "If you don't practice, there will be no disadvantage." If you learn something and benefit, the benefit will stop at what you have learned.

Six Three: Contains Zhang Kezhen.Or from the king's affairs, there is no success and no end. "Xiang" said: "Containing chapters can be chaste", which means to develop with time; "or follow the king's affairs", to know the glory. Three have positive virtues.If you use its yang, it is not because it is called "kun", so it has rules and contains it. The trouble of "kun" is weak and cannot be corrected, but if there are rules, it can be corrected.However, because it can be corrected, and then it is specialized, it is not the reason why it is called "kun".Therefore, if you do something but don't create something, if you don't achieve something, you will have an end.

June 4th: Inclusive, without blame or reputation. "Xiang" said: "There is no blame for including the bag", so be careful not to harm. Those who are at the top and bottom of the husband's office are not safe places. "Qian" is at the top, and it is dangerous not to reach the top, so there is a worry of "watching at night" on September 3;Yin goes on to the third, it is still chaste; as to the fourth, it is almost dead.Therefore, it is self-contained in order to "no blame and no reputation".Blame and reputation are unavoidable for human beings. Out of blame, one must enter into reputation; out of reputation, one must suffer from blame.Blame leads to crime, and reputation leads to suspicion.What's more, there is no blame and no reputation!

Sixth Five-Year: Huang Chang, Yuan Ji. "Xiang" said: "Huang Changyuan Ji", the text is also in the middle. "Yellow", the color of the middle. "Shang", the decoration under it.Huang is not a dress, but the king is also.Clothing instead of Huang Zechen is not a virtuous minister.Sixty-five yin is prosperous, but there is yang virtue, so it is called clothes to show his ministers; it is called yellow to show his virtues.Husband and literature are born in the wrong phase, if yin and yang are single-minded, how can there be literature?Sixth Five-Year has yin and yang virtue, so it is called "literature in the middle".

Upper Six: The dragon fights in the wild, its blood is black and yellow. "Xiang" said: "The dragon fights in the wild", and its way is poor. As for this, it is not Yin that is safe.Although Yin wants to be obtained without fighting, it is said that "the way is poor". Use six: Li Yongzhen. "Xiang" says: Use the six "Yongzhen" to end up with a big one. "Yi" talks about yin and yang with big and small. The smoothness of "Kun" advances from the small; its chastity ends with the big. "Classical Chinese" says: "Kun" is soft and firm when moving.

Those who are not rigid can be rigid, but those who are soft can be rigid.Animals don't grow, and it's extremely extreme, and the hair must be determined.Therefore, it is called "Shen Qian Gang Ke". Quiet and German. If things are round, they move easily, so they are square when they are quiet. After winning the master, there is permanence, and everything is included and turned into light.Is Kun Dao going along with it?Inherit the sky and go with the times.A family that accumulates goodness will surely have surplus celebrations; a family that accumulates bad habits will surely have surplus disasters.Ministers kill their rulers, sons kill their fathers, it is not a matter of one day and one night. "Yi" said: "Walk on the frost, the ice is as hard as it is," Gai Yan said.

But if it is smooth, it can help him; if it is not smooth, it will be a long time to distinguish. "Straight" means righteousness, and "square" means righteousness.A gentleman respects the straight inside, and the righteous outside the square; respect for righteousness and virtue is not alone. "Straight, square, big, no disadvantages if you don't practice it", you don't doubt what you are doing. A villain is only too ashamed, he fears when he lives in the past, and doubts when he moves;The straightness is inside, the square is outside, and it is hidden like a famous teacher and good friend by my side, so it is independent and not lonely, why do you doubt it?

Although yin has beauty, if it is contained in order to follow the king's affairs, it will not dare to succeed.The way of authenticity, the way of wives, the way of ministers, the way of authenticity is not accomplished, but the way of generation has its end.The world changes, and the vegetation grows; the world is closed, and the sages hide. "Yi" said: "Including the bag, there is no blame and no reputation." Gai Yan is also sincere. Fang Qi changes, even though the vegetation is still absurd; and its closure, even though the sages are hidden. The gentleman is Huang Zhongtong, and he is in the body.The beauty is in it, and the smoothness is in the four branches, and it is in the career, and the beauty is the ultimate. "Yellow" is the color in the middle; "tong" is "reason", and then there is color.The attainment of a gentleman is like having four bodies for one's own use.If you have hands but cannot hold them, if you have feet you cannot gallop, the spirit does not dwell on its body. Suspicious yin and yang must fight.It is called "Dragon" because it dislikes Yang, and it is called "Blood" because it is not separated from its kind.Husband "Xuanhuang" is the miscellaneous of heaven and earth.The sky is mysterious and the ground is yellow. "Suspect" and "suspect" are all similar.If yin is as strong as yang, there will be a "war".Fang Qisheng also seems to have no yang, so it is called "dragon" even though it is yin.However, it is still not separated from its yin and yang, so it is called "blood" to clarify its miscellaneous.If yin has changed into yang, then there will be no confusion of "xuanhuang".
