Chapter 18 Gu Gua (Eighteenth) Gen up and Sun down

"Gu": Yuan Heng, benefiting Dachuan.First A for three days, and then A for three days. "彖" said: "Gu", just go up and then go down softly, "Xun" and stop, "Gu". "Gu, Yuan Heng", and the world is governed. "Benefits involved in the great river", there are always things going on. "First Jia for three days, and then Jia for three days", the end has a beginning, and the sky moves. When the utensils are not used for a long time and worms grow, they are called "gu".When a person drowns in a feast for a long time and becomes ill, it is called "gu".The world is safe for a long time without doing anything, but disadvantages arise, which is called "Gu". "Yi" says "gu" is also "thing"; husband "gu" is not a thing, if the world is nothing but nothing, then you will be unable to do things later, the reason why this "gu" is "thing" is also .Those who are ignorant regard "things" as "gu", and they will lose it.The utensils want to be used frequently, the body wants to work often, and the world wants to do things often, so it is called "'Xun' stop, Gu".When the husband goes down to "Xun", he will not be rebellious, and if he goes up, he will do nothing.Law produces peace, peace produces happiness, and happiness produces stealing, and the germs of decline and chaos begin. The disaster of "Gu" is not a one-day event, it will be seen later in the world, so the lines are all described in terms of father and son.Human affection, if there is no major disaster, it will be stolen every day, and the world has been ruled, but if you still regard "Shechuan" as a "thing", you are afraid of it. "Gu" and "Xun" are the same; the up and down are in harmony with the bottom and the top stops, which is the same as "stealing".And the reason why "Xun" is not a "Gu" is that there are ninety-five to do it.And "Gu" has nothing to do, so the "Xiang" of "Gu" says: "First armor for three days, then armor for three days, and the end has a beginning."And the ninety-five days of "Xun" said: "There is no beginning and an end, first Geng three days, then Geng three days, auspicious."Yang is born in the son, and it is exhausted in oneself; Yin is born in the afternoon, and it is exhausted in Hai.Yang is the gentleman, and the gentleman is governing; Yin is the villain, and the villain is chaos.Twelve stems are worth a day, five stems are branched and six stems are regenerated, there is no one in the world who does not know. "First Jia three days, then Jia three days", then the world called "Liu Jia"; "First Geng three days, then Geng three days", then the world called "Liu Geng".Jia and Geng come first and then later, Yin and Yang are opposite, so "Yi" takes this to control the chaos. "Xianjia for three days", Zi, Xu, and Shen Ye; Shen is exhausted in Si, and Yang is full.Prosperity will produce yin, governance will produce chaos, so accept it as the latter. "Houjia three days", noon, Chen, and Yin, Yin is exhausted in Hai, and then the cathode is born and the yang is born. "Gu" does not have a ninety-five-year plan, and its control of chaos is extremely natural. When the power is exhausted, it will change later, so it is said that "the end has a beginning, and the sky moves."Husband "Xun" is not the case. Although it is lost at the beginning, it must be raised later, for example in Geng. "First Geng three days", Wu, Chen, and Yinye; "Later Geng three days", Zi, Xu, and Shenye.After Geng's place, Jia's place comes first.Therefore, the "three days of the first Geng" will be exhausted in Hai, and the "three days of the latter Geng" will be exhausted in Si, Yin first and then Yang, chaos first and then governance, so it is said that "there is no beginning and no end".It is also called "Ji".Not talking about "Xun" "Zuan" (1), but talking about the Ninth Five-Year, it is clear that the merit of the Ninth Five-Year is not the merit of "Xun".

(college note) (1) "Xun" and "彖": "Su Shiyi Zhuan" as "his "彖"" is also common. "Xiang" says: There is wind at the foot of the mountain, "gu"; a gentleman uses it to inspire the people and cultivate virtue. Drumming and dancing are called "vibration". "Zhenmin" keeps people from being lazy, and "educating virtue" keeps people from being exhausted. Sixth day of the lunar month: The Gu of godfather, if you have a son, you will not be blamed for the test; "Xiang" said: "The Gu of godfather", which means inheritance and research.

The fact that Gu is a disaster does not happen overnight.At the beginning of its insignificance and work, its appointment is also seen.As the Gu progresses, the son has a way to change his father, although the beginning is dangerous, the end will be auspicious.Therefore, it is said that "if you have a son, you will not be blamed for the exam".If you say that you are not a child, then the test is to blame.Those who have deep filial love, if their traces are not smooth, and if their traces are not smooth, their intentions are also smooth. Ninety-two: The Gu of godmother, do not be chaste.

"Xiang" said: "Dry the mother's Gu", and you can get the middle way. Yin is the nature of being peaceful and doing nothing but evil and active. It is the mother of those who think that the "gu" is deep and it is especially difficult to do it.If it is upright it will hurt love, if it is not upright it will hurt righteousness, so it is the most difficult thing, who else can let it go?Therefore, the second responsibility is also.The second is to use yang to occupy yin, with the reality of rigidity, but without the traces of rigidity, so it can be avoided. Nine Three: The Gu of godfather, there is little regret, no big blame.

"Xiang" said: "God's father's Gu", there is no blame in the end. The virtue of ninety-three is no different from two.I don't know why to use it, secondly use it for yin, and thirdly use it for yang, so there is "little regret" but "no big blame". June 4th: Yufu's Gu, often sees stinginess. "Xiang" said: "Yufu's Gu" has never been obtained. The residence of June Fourth is no different from the two, but it has no virtue, so it only benefits from its illness. "Yu" means benefit. Sixth Five-Year: The Gu of godfather, use reputation.

"Xiang" said: "The godfather uses reputation", and inherits virtue. If the father has Gu and the son does it, it's like treating a disease with Bianstone medicine, how happy is it?Therefore, at the beginning, it is "strength", at the third, it is "regret", and at the sixth and fifth, it is gentle. Although it has the ambition of dry Gu but not the determination of two yang, it is "reputation" instead.If the reputation belongs to oneself, then the disease belongs to the father (1), but the virtue of the father cannot be inherited, so if it can be inherited, it is not a "gu". "Gu" inherits virtue, so there is no "auspiciousness" in "Xun" and "Hou Geng" in the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

(college note) (1) Illness returns to the father: "Su Shiyi Zhuan" writes "Gu returns to the father", which is also common. Upper Nine: Don't be a prince, be noble. "Xiang" said: "Don't be a prince", as long as the ambition is possible. When a gentleman sees the "gu" gradually, he "shechuan" to save it.If it is successful, it will be far away from "not being a prince". The success of "Gu" also means that a good doctor can't cure it, and a gentleman can't do anything.
