Chapter 15 Qian hexagram (fifteenth) Kun up and Gen down

"Humble", Heng.A gentleman has an end. "彖" said: "Modest, prosperous".The way of heaven is low and bright, and the way of earth is humble and upward. This is why it is called "modesty and prosperity". The way of heaven is full of profit and modest, the tunnel becomes full and full of flow, ghosts and gods are harmful and full of blessings, and human nature is evil and full of love and modesty.To be humble and honorable, to be humble and insurmountable, is the end of a gentleman. This is why it is called "a gentleman has an end".If you don't look at it at the end, you will gain by fighting for it, and those who lose by being humble will be covered.Only phase depends on the ultimate, and then knowing modesty will win.

"Elephant" says: There are mountains in the ground, "modest".The gentleman uses the many to benefit the few, which is called giving things evenly. "裒", take also. "Modest" is the name (1), born in the past, and after things have passed, you know that there is "modesty".If things are not enough, the "modest" one is among them.The past is compared with the middle, and the name "modesty" is born.The sage is named after the name of the world, but in fact he belongs to the middle (2).The land is too humble, and the mountains are too high, so "there are mountains in the ground, so be humble."The residence of a gentleman is also true, and those who have more take it are also "modesty"; those who are few benefit from it are also "modesty".

(college note) (1) "Modest" is the name: "Su Shiyi Zhuan" says "one is the name", which is wrong. (2) It’s just a matter of returning to the middle: "Su Shiyi Zhuan" says "it's just going against the middle", which is wrong. The sixth day of the lunar month: Gentleman of modesty, use She Dachuan, auspicious. "Xiang" said: "A humble gentleman" is also a humble one who shepherds himself. The bottom of this is the fault of "modesty".It is the way, and it is useless, it is only used for "Shichuan".If there is a catastrophe, if you don't deeply bend yourself, it will not be enough to make it useful. Those who "shepherd" should raise them for use.

Sixty-two: Mingqian, Zhenji. "Xiang" said: "Ming Qian Zhenji", the center is also obtained. When the male sings, the female responds, so "Yi" uses Yin and Yang to sing harmony and send it to "Ming". The reason why "modesty" is "modesty" is three things: its "modesty" is also hard work, so those who hear about it and are admired by it, all follow "modesty".Sixty-two is its neighbor; upper nine is its match; therefore, they all sing "modestly" in harmony with it.And the six-two is in the inner hexagram in the shade, although it is slightly nine-three, is it not modest?Therefore, it is called "Mingqian" and "Zhenji". "Ming" means that it is in harmony with the three, and "Zhen" means that it comes from nature.

Nine three: Laoqian, a gentleman has an end, auspicious. "Xiang" said: "Laoqian gentleman" is also accepted by all people. "Lao" means merit. "Modest" has five yin and one yang, and after that, it becomes "modest", which has a lot of merit. The system of "Gen" is three, and the three relatives use "Gen" to "Kun", and its "modesty" is the most, so it is called "Lao Qian".To work hard without cutting, to be meritorious but not to be virtuous, is not only to avoid oneself, but also to be kind to others, and it is the one who has achieved the perfection of "modesty".Therefore, "Zhu" says: "A gentleman has an end." And three words.

June 4th: No disadvantages, humble. "Xiang" said: "There is no disadvantage, and you are modest", and there is no violation. It is also caused by Jiusan.The second is close to the inside, and there is a matching image, so it is called "Ming"; the fourth is close to the outside, and the third is the direction, so it is called "撝".Stay soft with softness, and be the direction of the three, the direction of the three, and the tendency of the four.Yiqian "Qianqian", who is disadvantaged?Therefore, it is called "no disadvantage". Sixth Five-Year: If you are not rich, you will be neighbors; if you use invasion and logging, there will be no disadvantages.

"Xiang" said: "Using invasion and cutting", conquering is not submissive. The straight is correct, and the humble is the opposite of arrogance.Neither is the ultimate in virtue, so the two are incompatible, and the two are not compatible.Ninety-three is "laoqian", and everyone above and below responds with humility, "mingqian" on the inside, and "modestly" on the outside.What's more, they are modest and chasing after each other infinity, and they benefit each other endlessly.What Zefu said, "the more you buy, the less you get, the more you give, the less you give." Who will make it happen?If the husband is six or five years old, it is not the case. If you think it is modest, then the person you are in is strong; For it.Seeking how to make these five "modest people" have nothing, so it is called "if you don't get rich, treat your neighbors";There is no one who does not use it, so it is called "no disadvantage".

Upper Six: Mingqian, use Xingshi to conquer the country. "Xiang" said: "Ming Qian", the ambition has not yet been achieved; but "use the teacher" to conquer the country. It is "Ming Qian", one also.Six-two is self-satisfied, and those who "have not achieved" in the first six, because they live in a place that is not content with modesty, especially because of their matching "laoqian" and respond strongly.If the appearance is modest but the reality is not, the people who will be obeyed will be few, so even though it is a city, it will still be rebellious.Although the husband is not enough, but the name lies in modesty, and the traitor is disadvantaged.If the rebels are disadvantaged, the conquerors will benefit.Wang Bi said: "Fortunate and unlucky, remorse and stinginess are born of those who move. The actions that arise are also those who are interested in profit. Therefore, there must be 'litigation' in eating and drinking, and there must be 'litigation' in the 'litigation'. There is no such thing as the evil of the people. Those who move are harmed, and those who do not compete are seized by those who contend. Therefore, although the six lines lose their positions, there is no way to take advantage of them, but there are no vicious, blame, regret, or stingy ones, and humility is the main thing."
