"Weiji": Heng; little fox Qianji, humiliating his tail; no profit. "彖" said: "Wei Ji, Heng", softness is also in the middle. It is also called six or five. "Little fox Qianji" has not yet come out. "It's nothing to gain if you wet the tail." It doesn't continue. "Weiji" yang all takes advantage of yin, and the division of upper and lower is determined, so there is no way to do anything. "汔", dry also. "Hurm" is on the "li", and the water overflows and the fire is angry below, which is the image that must enter; therefore, it can be "relieved" even though it overflows. "Hurm" is below "Li", and the water will dry up and the fire will rest on the top.A gentleman sees the far and big, and the villain sees the small and near. On the sixth day and the third day of the sixth day, the villain is also; when he sees the water is dry, he thinks it can help, which is called "little foxes help".And the gentlemen of Ninety-two also thought that they could not "pull their wheels" and not enter, so that the "little fox" could be alone!It means "not out of the middle".The second yin advances lightly, but the ninety-two does not give it, so the six-three "strikes evil".On the sixth day of the first day, "weak its tail", even though it was also sick on the second day of the ninth day, so "no profit".Seeing that it is easy and committing it lightly, retreating when encountering difficulties, although a wise man can't do it well, so it is called "do not continue to end".

Although it is not in place, it should be rigid and flexible. The second, third, fourth, and fifth of "Yi" are out of place, but "Weiji" and "Guimei" are also.Therefore, they are all "no profit", and those who "return to the younger sister" and "conquer the murderer" should not be rigid or soft. "Xiang" says: "Fire is on the water, and it is not enough"; a gentleman lives by carefully distinguishing things. If the upper and the lower are settled in their positions, but not willing to be aggressive, then the gentleman is cautious about his body, and distinguishes things and places them in a place, waiting for his meeting.

The sixth day of the sixth day: humiliate the tail, be stingy. "Xiang" said: "Smudge its tail", and I don't know the extreme. Water and fire shoot each other, and it is extremely useful.Therefore, "economic" must be at its extreme, and "汔ji" is not its extreme. Ninety-two: Pulling the wheel, Zhenji. "Xiang" said: Ninety-two "Zhenji", the middle and the right. If the outside doesn't work, the middle and the Israeli can do the right thing. Six three: Weaknesses, levying evil, benefiting the great river. "Elephant" said: "If the economy is not ready to sign the evil", the position is not appropriate.

"Weiji" is not unhelpful, and it is a word to be treated.Gai will use his full strength to deal with great difficulties.The big disasters are smooth, and the small ones will follow, so it is said: "Let's cross the river".In June 3rd, when the water dried up, fortunately it was easy to save and was used suddenly, and when there was a big river later, its use was useless, so it is called "Zheng fierce".Those who see the dryness and help, the first and the third are even; the first is "stingy", and the third is "fierce", which is not appropriate.

Ninth Fourth: Zhenji, regret death.Zhen used the method of killing ghosts, and he was rewarded by the great country for three years. "Xiang" said: "Zhen Ji regretted his death and his actions. Nine Fourth has the power to shake the Lord, if you don't use it in the "Ghost Fang", you will have nothing to do with your ambitions, and the shaker will regret it.True to the Lord and used in the enemy, so "repentance" also. Sixth Five-Year: Zhenji, no regrets.The light of a gentleman has Fu; Ji. "Xiang" says: "The light of a gentleman", its brilliance is "auspicious".

Light comes from the appearance of form, not exerted by force.The greatness of a gentleman is also that there are ninety-two at the bottom, and its response; there are ninety-four at the side, and nine at the top, and its neighbors.The danger is not smooth, the three are strong, and they can't be used together. It is not the one who seeks me.Therefore, six or five beliefs are three, and the three will do their best, but I will do nothing, this is "Zhenji, no regrets, the light of a gentleman". Upper Nine: There is no blame for drinking alcohol.Moisturize the head, there is Fu, but it is wrong.

"Xiang" says: "Drinking wine" makes your head wet, and you don't know how to behave. "Festival" means a meeting of events. "Yes", it is time.As for what is right and what is not good, it is not good in the end.Therefore, "unhelpful" can be helped only by that.The danger is not over, trust me six or five times, and you will use me; I am just drinking, why?The general will wait for his meeting, so there is no blame.The upper nine is called the head, and those who "moisten their heads" can benefit from it; if you don't go to the festival and drink alcohol when you can benefit from it, then believe me, it's time to lose it.
