The I Ching is the most intelligent classic work in China for five thousand years, Confucianism reveres it as the "head of the Six Classics", and Taoists revere it as the "Crown of the Three Xuans", which is a classic in the classics.
The I Ching is the crystallization of Chinese cultural wisdom, and its philosophical ideas for thousands of years have penetrated deeply into the hearts of the Chinese people and profoundly affected our lives. The astronomical geography of the I Ching is all-encompassing, and the impact it produces is unmatched by other classic works.
"I Ching" is a classic containing the blessings of life, many people have the way to success in life, the truth of how to deal with the world, "I Ching" is very thorough, if you can use the living learning, it will surpass most people in the world.
1. "Poor will change, change will be general, and general will be long." ”
This means that when things develop to the extreme, they must change and change, so that the development of things will not be blocked, and things can continue to develop. Life is not satisfactory, nine times out of ten, so some people say that "life is a cultivation." How to cultivate? The I Ching tells us that the word "change", in the change to seek the "balance of yin and yang", can make us always in an invincible position.
People move to live, trees move to death! When people encounter difficulties, they must strive to change, correct their mistakes, overcome their own weaknesses, and truly stand up and re-reach a new balance, so that their overall strength has gone up to a higher level.
Life, either let the brain have been reading and learning, so that they often have the fresh thought of "asking the canal as clear as promised, only the source of living water comes"; or let the body have been on the road of travel, so that their vision is often constantly broadened and expanded.
The world is impermanent, the matter is impermanent, and change is the magic weapon for human society to cope with all crises and difficulties! Therefore, mr. Lu Xun said positively and optimistically, even in the face of setbacks and tribulations: "The road of life is progressive, always going up the diagonal face of the infinite spiritual triangle, and nothing can stop him!" ”
Yes, there is no road on the ground, and the more people walk, the more roads there are. There are always more ways than difficulties, we know how to "think of change when difficult", and to meet the challenges positively and optimistically will make all difficulties solved. There is no winter that is insurmountable, and there is no spring that does not come. If a balance is broken, we need to find the next balance again, which can be described as "poor is change, change is general, and general is long".
2. "Hanzhang Kezhen"
This "chastity" means that we want to have a remarkable connotation. In this society that likes to seek outwards, many people in order to compete for fame and profit, finally turn themselves into people who do not look like people, ghosts do not look like ghosts. We all set out so far that we forgot to return to our original intentions: "Ask inward."
Confucius said: "The scholars of the past are for themselves, and the scholars of today are for themselves." This sentence is still loud and clear, and many times we now live for others, not for ourselves.
I used to live in the eyes of others, when I was reading, I loved to be competitive, I liked flowers and applause from others; after I came out of work, I loved to compare with others who made more money, and I liked to see others envious and jealous eyes.
However, after living for more than thirty years, I feel that living like this is really tiring, and it is not interesting to come and go, even if I win the world? Later, I had an epiphany: "To be a person who is 'virtuous with chapters'." "The only life in life is to live out the excellent self."
3. "Houde Carrier"
An important content in Kun Gua is "Thick Virtue Carrier", which allows people to learn the virtues of the earth, which has soft characteristics and is also dynamic, but in the "I Ching", it emphasizes her virtue of carrying all things. We all know that in the ancient culture of our country, there has always been the idea of the unity of heaven and man, and this unity of heaven and man is actually very extensive, similar to the harmonious unity of man and nature that is now said.
Therefore, there must be virtue in dealing with people, and this virtue comes from the imitation of the spirit carried by the earth. Therefore, in The Kun Gua Li it is said that the house of Ji Shan will have Yu Qing. The "goodness" here is also an extension and expansion of the virtues of the earth. A "ji" word here, which is particularly important, not only reflects the ancient ancestors' understanding and wisdom of the world's gradual development, but also a kind of encouragement and requirement for future generations.
4. "The house of good will have a remnant of celebration, and the house of the unkind will have a remnant"
This sentence also comes from the Kun Gua of the I Ching. The family that accumulates good deeds and virtues will not be cut off, and the descendants of the family will also bear the blessings. A family that often does bad things, this family will often have disasters, even to the end of the generations.
Those who are good will surely have many good fortunes, and those who do evil will have many misfortunes. What is expounded is a phenomenon in which things are gradually and slowly accumulated, and finally quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. At the same time, it is also a warning to people that the emergence of some minor undesirable phenomena should be seen as soon as possible and vigilant and taken measures. The harm and consequences of allowing it to develop are very serious.

Known as the "source of the great avenue", the "I Ching" is the theoretical root of natural philosophy and humanistic practice in traditional Chinese thought and culture, the crystallization of the ancient Han nationality's thinking and wisdom, extremely rich in content, and has had an extremely profound impact on China's politics, economy, culture and other fields for thousands of years.
When encountering laymen reading the I Ching, they fail to deeply understand the essence, and often use it for divination, fortune telling, and feng shui, which is actually a superficial performance. The I Ching is full of great wisdom, and only by looking at the essence through phenomena can we accurately predict the development of future events. If you can understand these four sentences, you are not far from being mediocre.
