Hexagram 36 Mingyi
[Hexagram Discussion]
Mingyi: The earth is on fire, the sun is not on the ground, and the light becomes dark. The original meaning of the word Yi is to seek peace and pacify. From the definition of seeking peace and flattening to the meaning of removing and destroying, from the razoring to the meaning of flattening, from the flat to the meaning of peace, peace and so on. "Miscellaneous Hexagrams" takes the righteousness, specifies that the minister was assassinated, and the rhetoric specifically mentions Jizi. The light is taken from the separation, and the Yi is taken from the Kun for the dark, from the light to the dark, obscure, and hurt.
《明夷》: 利艰贞.
[Derived from the epithet]
The earth is on fire, and the upper and lower are separated. Light is suppressed by darkness, and "Miscellaneous Hexagrams" shows that Yi is the righteousness of punishment. In difficult times, we must strengthen our faith.
[Interpretation of the Word]
Mingyi is obscure, and the light is covered by darkness. We look at Jin from darkness to light, and the king (six or five) is in the hexagram, and he is wise and wise; The king of Mingyi (65) lives far away from the hexagram, surrounded by all yin, wise and useless, partial to hearing and biased. In this situation, it is difficult to be profitable, and only seeks to protect oneself. It can also be explained in this way: the lower detachment is the king, and the dwelling is inward; The outer hexagram Kun is the villain, and the main thing is outside.
[Six Elephant Solution]
On the ninth day of the first month, Ming Yi hung his wings in the flight. A gentleman is in line, and he does not eat for three days. There is a past, and the master has a word.
The ninth day of the first month, the right position. From the bird's wings hanging low and flying, it is understood that the fortunes of the country will decline (an example of occupation), which means that the gentleman is becoming less and less important, and the relationship with the king is becoming more and more estranged. A gentleman should rush to the occasion and give advice to the king as soon as possible, though he knows that he will not listen. Fly its wings, birds (birds, off. Xun is a bird, docile, and a metaphor for women; Away from the bird, beautiful, praise the gentleman) fly low in the sky (Shangqian), helpless image; Three days without eating, separation, empty stomach, counting three, fast horses, hurried elephants; The master (June Fourth, because he can't see Six Five) has words (accusations) and takes the image of difficulty.
Sixty-two, Ming Yi Yi in the left strand, with the horse Zhuang, Ji.
Sixty-two, upright. From Yi Yu Yu to the left stock to understand that the country's fortunes will decline, it means that the ministers of the humerus or the prison (Kan), and go all out to rescue it. The good horses used to rescue are very strong, which means that they act quickly. The left femur should be the omission of the left and right femurs, and the sixty-two is the image of the minister. Refer to Feng (the next hexagram is to leave) ninety-three, "abundant and abundant, see foam in the middle of the day, fold its right humerus, and have no blame (in fact, it is a stock)".
Ninety-three, Ming Yi in the south hunt, get its head, not chaste.
Ninety-three, upright. Knowing that the fortunes of the country are about to decline from the fact that the head of the southern hunt is invincible, it means that in order to turn the situation around, the king must be corrected, but not in a hurry (or is he hopelessly ill?). ）。 South hunting, the elephant of separation, specifically refers to the winter hunting of ancient monarchs. The head, the ninety-three, the head of the big beast, like the head of the tiger and the horse.
June Fourth, into the left abdomen, get the heart of Mingyi, in the court.
June Fourth, in position. "Elephant" said: "Into the left abdomen", get the heart. But the king did not listen and stayed away. Upper hexagram kun, abdomen, left; Three or five for the earthquake, in the door of the court, far away. Obtain the heart of Mingyi, no image without heart, although he wants to rule, the king does not listen to his words, and he is helpless.
Sixty-five, the Mingyi of the basket, Lizhen.
Six-five, yang and yin. "Elephant" said: "The chastity of the basket is clear and unstoppable." Although the person is not in the court, the heart of Kuang Lord to save the world has not been lost. When you look at the example. Jizi and Weizi, Bigan, in the last years of Yin Shang, and called "Yin Mo Sanren", in Confucius's "Analects of Weizi" said: "Weizi goes, Jizi is a slave, than Gan admonishes and dies, Yin has three benevolence." In the era of the alternation of Shang and Zhou regimes and the great historical turmoil, because of its inability to do the way and its ambition, "against the luck of decay and decay, go to Korea". At the end of Shang and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wu asked him how to govern the country in accordance with the mandate of heaven. Jizi then stated the "Hongfan Jiuchou" handed down by Xia Yu to King Wu, and the history called Jizi Mingyi.
On the sixth, unknown, obscure, first ascended to the sky, and then entered the earth.
Upper six, upright. Unknown (five benyang, the upper hexagram is kan, month), obscure (dark). The first ascent to the sky (the rise of the lower departure sun), and the later into the earth (Shangkun, the earth, the sun disappears below the horizon), indicating that the king is young and strong with virtue and great promise, and the old man favors the villain and loses his country.
Ming Yi, Ming in the decline of the national fortune (injury, darkness, difficulty) and clear in the way of Kuang Zheng (Yi, Ping, Zhi), this is the opposite principle of complementarity adopted by Zhou Yi when naming the 64 hexagrams, and it is also an important reason why the 64 hexagrams are mainly comprehensive.
