Chapter 26 Big animal hexagram (twenty-sixth)

"Big animal": Lizhen, no family food, auspicious; Lishe Dachuan. "Tuan" says: "Big animal" is strong and solid, radiant, and its virtues are renewed every day. Vigorous means "dry"; solid means "gen"; radiant means the grinding of two things and the gods see it. "Gen" does not include "Gen", and it is healthy (1).Use stop to be strong and strong, use health to make stop, and the change of virtue is insurmountable and poor. (college note) (1) Su Jian: "Su Shi Yi Zhuan" is written as "Tu Jian", which is also passable.

Just go up and honor the virtuous, be able to stop health, and be upright. Those who are "big" are right; they are called the upper nine, so they are called virtuous.Sages see animals in the upper nine, so they are called "big animals". "It's auspicious if you don't eat at home"; "Benefiting across the great river" should be almost heavenly. The health of "dry" and the stop of "gen" are its virtues.Just as gold can be cut, fire can be heated.Those who obey each other must use their heavens.The fish fears the net but fears the pelican, and fears the sky.Therefore, "dry" is under "Gen", and it is used for it without stopping (1).Those who put things on "doing" often have the heart of avoiding "doing", and "doing" often has the meaning of dissatisfaction, six above "needs", and nine above "small animals".Those who are jealous are born not enough to convince others, and if they are not good enough to convince others but avoid it, people will be very dissatisfied.Today's husband "Gen" knows that there are animals to "dry", so he does not guard against their health and allows them to advance; "Qian" knows that "Gen" has livestock and is not afraid, so he accepts the animals and uses them. Those who "do not eat at home" mainly use "Gen";

(college note) (1) There are more than one: "Su Shiyi Zhuan" has two words after "Weiyou", which seems to be missing. "Xiang" said: "The sky is in the mountains, and there are "big animals."A gentleman acts with knowledge and prefaces words, and with animals he has virtue. Confucius commented on the virtue of "Qian" in ninety-two and said: "A gentleman learns to gather them, and asks to distinguish them." It is to know the health of "dry" that the trouble lies in not learning. Emperor Han Gao is also, so the gentleman of "big animal" If you want to use "doing", you must first learn from it.

Ninth day: If you are strong, you will benefit yourself. "Xiang" said: "If there is a strong profit, there is no disaster." "Small animals" are "dry" animals, and they go along with the animals, so they go along at the beginning and turn against each other at the end. The "big animal" is the "dry" animal, and the animal is fierce, so it begins to be harsh and ends up prosperous (1).A gentleman loves others with virtue, and a villain loves others with appeasement.To be resentful at the sight of virtue, to be happy at the sight of appeasement, is too much.On the ninth day of the lunar new year, there is no limit to the desire to advance, but as for the June Fourth, it will stop when it is severe.The severity of June Fourth is what I call virtue; it is June Fourth that makes me know the precepts so that I will not commit disasters for the rest of my life.

(college note) (1) From the beginning to the end and the end: "Su Shi Yi Zhuan" wrote "beginning to benefit and end to the end", which is wrong. Ninety-two: Yu Shuo. "Xiang" says: "Yu Shuo 輹", there is nothing special in it. The "talking" of "little animals" is a last resort, so the husband and wife turn against each other. The "talking" of "big animals" is the wish of their hearts, so "there is no particularity in the middle". Ninth Three: Good horses chasing, benefiting hardships and chasteness.It is said that Xian Yu Wei, there is profit and you go.

"Xiang" said: "There is profit to be made", and Shanghe Zhi also. The three "dry" go hand in hand, so it is called "good horses chase".Horses don't worry about their badness, but worry about their light carriages, easy roads and even anecdotes, so "benefits are difficult and chaste".Nine three, the palace of "dryness", so the prime minister and the admonishment, if you are free to learn from his car, then "there is a lot of profit". "Shang" refers to the upper nine; the upper benefit is not to be avoided, and the third benefit must be avoided.

June Fourth: Tong Niu Zhi, Yuanji. "Xiang" said: June Fourth "Yuanji", there is joy. Sixth five: The tooth of the hog, auspicious. "Xiang" said: The "auspiciousness" of the Sixth Five-Year Plan is celebrated. "Child ox" means the ninth day of the lunar new year; "牿" means horn weapon; a child ox that is useless and dares not to dispose of it is born from a child and is strong, although it is not necessary.This is the ultimate love of his cattle. "豮豕" means "辠豕", also known as Ninety-two.Those with teeth but not prey are hogs, but those without prey are livestock. The "big animal" is also the animal stem, which starts from being strong and ends up being prosperous.In the ninth day of the ninth day, the yang is weak, and then it is swollen, so as for the second day of the ninth day, even though it has teeth, it can be used as an animal.From the beginning, it gradually becomes an animal, and in the end it enters the Tianqu.Childish and affectionate, love is also based on virtue, so there is "joy".Those who don't hate their teeth but keep them as animals will seek to use them, so there is "celebration".All things are said to be "happy" with virtue, and "celebration" when Shi De is rewarded.Confucius said: "There must be more celebrations in a family that has accumulated good deeds."

Upper Ninth: Where is the thoroughfare of heaven?Heng. "Xiang" said: "Where is the thoroughfare of the sky", the way is great. Those who are "Tianqu" are those who are on the top, but not those who share with the bottom.Virtue has to be kept, even if it is given to others, no one dares to accept it. If there is no virtue, even if I don't give it to my husband, there will be those who take it.The virtues of the upper nine are self-reinforcing, so they can be greatly improved by "doing" without fear.For those who say "Where is the Tian's Qu", there is such a Tianqu, but not Rujin (1)?Husband only enters it with the Tianqu, and "Qian" is overwhelmed.

(college note) (1) Where there is Tianqu, but you don't enter it: "Su Shiyi Zhuan" writes "What Tianqu exists, but you don't enter it", which is wrong.
