Dongpo Yi Chuan 苏轼 1896Words 2018-03-20
"Damage": Youfu, Yuanji, no blame.But chaste, there are benefits.What's the use?Two Gui can be enjoyed. "Tuan" said: "Loss", the loss of the bottom and the benefit of the top, the way goes up. From yang to yin, it is called "loss"; from yin to yang, it is called "benefit". "Dui" is originally "dry", and it is "Dui" after being given by "Kun", which will damage the lower. "Gen" is originally "Kun", and it is beneficial to become "Gen" after receiving the dryness.But "benefit" is also the same, then "loss" is not the same as "benefit", and "benefit" is not the same as "loss", but it is named as it is, just take one.Why?Said: A gentleman should know that the great is far away, and he will benefit himself by harming the lower, and the gentleman thinks that he will harm himself.When self-injury is followed by benefit, the gentleman thinks that he also benefits himself.

"Damage" has Fu, "Yuanji, no blame". There must be a way if you believe in it if you lose it.Mencius said: "Use the way of loss to make the people work hard without complaining; kill the people with the way of life and die without complaining." Let the people know that those who harm us, and those who benefit us, believe it.Those who lose are the troubles of the next, but if they are ignored, then the benefits will be there to lighten the patients.If the benefits are not enough to lighten one's troubles, and if the benefits are not enough to compensate for one's losses, then there will be blame for the damage; therefore, only "Yuanji" can be blamed.The reason why I hurt myself is in vain, and those who cover the "yuan" of "auspicious" are also "no blame" after this.

But chaste, there are benefits. "What's the use? The second gui can be enjoyed." The second gui should have a time, when it loses rigidity and becomes soft, when it loses strength and gains softness, and when it gains and loses, it goes with the times. "There is a fu, Yuan Ji has no blame" is also the statement of the upper hexagram; "Ke Zhen, the benefit has a future, what is the use? The second gui can be enjoyed" is also the statement of the lower hexagram.Losing the bottom and benefiting the top, the way goes up, but the bottom cannot be without chastity, the way of loss is the way to go up, and if you can't do it without chastity, it is too much.Therefore, "loss" has the way of "being chaste", ninety-two is also true; if you are all chaste but not going, you will be supreme, if you are all going but not chaste, you will have no bottom, so "be chaste, and there will be benefits."There are "past ones" and "virtuous ones", so it is called "the use of hoo". "He Zhi" means to choose it; "Er Gui" means "Dui" means two yang. "Dui" is originally "dry", but Liusan uses his body to move up, so it changes from yang to yin.On the ninth day and the second day of the ninth day, the intention is towards it, but the body is not biased, so it is free and unchanged.The setting up of the gui for sacrifice is also based on its meaning, how can I give it?How can God take it!The gentleman benefits others, and Gai also has nothing to give it, and people can't benefit from it.However, these two yangs all have their corresponding counterparts: the ninth day of the lunar new year "goes away", and the ninth day of the second day "conquers evil", so it is said that "the second gui should have a time", even though the words should be said, there is a time to go.

"Xiang" says: There is luster at the foot of the mountain, "damage", the gentleman uses it to punish anger and suffocate desire. Ninth day of the lunar month: What has happened is gone, there is no blame, and it is considered to be damaged. "Xiang" said: "Since things are going to go", Shang Hezhi also. "Yuan" said: "Profit and loss, profit and loss, go with the time." It is also the one who regards loss and profit as profit, and emptiness as festival.If the yang in the first nine days is not damaged, it will be full; if the yin in the sixth and fourth days is not benefited, it will still be empty.If the lower part is full and the upper part is still empty, then it can't go back. Therefore, although I have something to do, I should let it go and let it go.If it goes to itself, I have to decide how much it will be lost.If you linger and do not advance, and are forced to retreat due to the momentum of the superior, even if you want to exercise discretion, you will not be able to gain it, and the loss will be great.Therefore, those who cannot avoid loss of momentum can only "go without blame".

Ninety-two: Lizhen, levy fierce.If you lose, you benefit. "Xiang" said: "Ninety-two Lizhen", which is also aspiration in the middle. The ninth day of the ninth day has been damaged, and the fourth day of June has been beneficial, so the second day of the ninth day will not be able to go back to the fifth day of the sixth day, so "benefit the chastity and conquer the evil".Its traces do not go, but its heart goes, so "if you lose, you benefit."It is said that those who do not harm themselves in the ninety-two benefit sixty-five. In the three lines of "Dui", there is no one who does not regard benefit as the ambition. The ninth trace is in harmony with the heart, so it is called "Shanghe Zhiye";If you benefit others by harming yourself, the benefit will stop at the harm. If you benefit others by harming yourself, then there is no way to benefit.Therefore, sixty-three of "loss" and sixty-four of benefit are all benefiting others by harming oneself; and ninety-two of "loss" and ninety-five of benefit are all benefiting of those who do not harm oneself (1).Because it does not harm oneself, those who benefit from it will all be awarded "Ten Friends of the Turtle".

(college note) (1) Yizhi: "Su Shiyi Zhuan" is written as "benefiting people", which is also accessible. Six Three: If three people walk together, one will lose; if one walks together, one will gain his friend. "Xiang" said: "One person walks", and three people are suspicious. The three lines of "Dui" all have the ambition of benefiting the best, so it is called "three people go together"; those who die for the sake of benefiting the better are only six or three; so it is called "damaging one person", and it is also called "one person going together". "Friends", ninety-two also.Liu San used his body to favor him, so that Jiu Er could not be conscripted. This is the deep virtue of Jiu Er, so it is said that "if one person walks, he will have his friends."If you say it with your heart, all three will do it; if you say it with your traces, it will be only one person.In the matter of a gentleman, the mind is the same but the deeds are different, so there is no doubt; if the three of you are all doing it, then the superior will come here with my own desires, and the righteousness of advancing and retreating is light.

June 4: Damage the disease, make Trent happy, no blame. "Xiang" said: "It hurts its disease", which is also gratifying. "Trent" means the ninth day of the ninth day.Those who suffer damage from below are limited, but those who seek benefits from above are endless, so the disease below is also.I'm going to be sick, so my husband "Tren" likes me.From the beginning of the saying, "It has happened to Trent", then the fourth one asks me too little, so "discreet it"; from the four words, "Damage its disease", it is easy to follow me at the beginning, so "Trent is happy ".

Sixth Five-Year: Or benefit, the turtle of ten friends; Fuke violates, Yuanji. "Elephant" says: Sixth Five-Year "Yuanji" means self-blessing. Sixth and fifth, the beneficiary is the owner, not the beneficiary place.Those who want to benefit but not live in the place of benefit are also those who do not seek benefits.Things benefit themselves without seeking benefits, so it is called "or". "Or", I don't know where it came from. "A tortoise among ten friends" means ninety-two loss of benefits; how can a tortoise benefit others, and how can they be given to others?I also follow his wisdom.What the Sixth Five-Year Plan is like in the Nine-Two Years, there is no need for it, and it is "blessed from above."And the second is self-efficacy and wisdom. Although you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it, but because you can't avoid it, you know that you have to seek it, so "Yuanji".

Upper Nine: Loss, benefits, no blame, chastity, benefits.Dechen, homeless. "Xiang" said: "It's not about profit and loss", which is great achievement. Those who go to the ninth place can benefit from it, but not lose it.And the virtue of Liusan cannot be without rewards, so if you benefit from those who do not harm yourself, you will achieve your ambitions.On June 3, I forgot my home and favored me, and I benefited greatly from it. If I live in peace and have nowhere to go, it is because of its benefit to enrich myself.Therefore, "benefits come to you", and then you have to accept them without any shame.
