The Book of Changes (I-Ching): divination technique and interpretation of hexagrams. The outer and inner worlds

Hexagram 2 ((Chinese 坤; pinyin: kūn)) is one of 64 symbols in the divination system of the Chinese Book of Changes. It consists of two Yin trigrams and is the complete opposite of the Qian hexagram. Passive female energy in this case doubles and creates the need to correspond to this state and adapt to it.

The origins of this statement lie in ancient Chinese philosophy, according to which the wife should submit to her husband, be compliant and led. Accordingly, the questioner should behave with the "Fortitude of the mare" - showing patience and hard work, modesty and humility.

So, where did the concept come from - the hexagram. Book of Changes 2 is one of the earliest Chinese philosophical treatises. According to the Confucian tradition, it was adopted in the II century as one of the canons. It is one of the oldest written monuments in world literature. This book contains a wealth of Chinese wisdom in the form of predictions. On the basis of this book, a divination system, very popular in over many centuries, was created. This system was established during the Zhousken dynasty.

Any of 64 hexagrams characterizes this or that life event from the side of its development. So, each of the hexagrams consists of six lines. Each feature is a sequential step along which a given situation develops or will develop. Yao (dashes) are of two kinds.

The former symbolize the masculine principle, tension and activity and are indicated by a solid line (their other name is nines, indicated in white). The latter symbolize the feminine principle, passivity and pliability and are indicated by a line interrupted in the middle (another name is sixes, white).

Also, each of the hexagrams is a combination of two trigrams, but the Yao combinations are called “gua”. So, each dash and each hexagram correspond to certain aphorisms - they are the answer for the fortuneteller.

The very process of fortune-telling consists in choosing six yao in the process of rather complex rituals and decoding, according to the Book of Changes, the meaning of the hexagram. Also, each of the trigrams symbolizes a certain season - depending on the Solar and Lunar movements.

The third line denotes a turning point when a situation from your inner world finds manifestation in the outer one.

The fourth yao denotes the emergence of your inner process outward.

Actually, the fifth feature is an external reflection of this situation.

And the last, very top line is the final of the situation.

From this it becomes clear the meaning of the hexagrams of the book of changes. It turns out that the lower half of the hexagram denotes the inner world of a person and the problem at the stage of its inception, and the upper half denotes the world around and the receding moments of life.

Also, each of the hexagrams can be conditionally divided into three pairs of yao - denoting heaven, man and earth.

In order to tell fortunes with the help of the Book of Changes, you need to formulate a clear question, the answer to which you want to hear, and toss three coins in turn. In the case of heads falling out, you need to put a straight line (nine), if Tails is an intermittent one (six). Naturally, you need to put the features from the bottom up.

The finished hexagram, consisting of six dashes, must be found in the table of hexagrams. To do this, you need to find the intersection of two trigrams - the upper and lower halves of the hexagram. In the process of fortune-telling, you cannot ask the same question or a question aimed at harming someone several times in a row.

Meaning of hexagram 2 (Kun). The first line denotes the fluidity of the moment and its insignificance, it is likened to frost.

The second feature and phase promises to submit to fate and not show initiative.

The third line and phase speaks of the opportunity to activate at the next stage. But, it is necessary to continue to obey the flow of events.

The fourth phase convinces you to continue to remain in the shadows and hide your merits - this way you can save yourself from trouble.

The fifth trait speaks of the desire to avoid extremes and remain balanced - this will bear fruit in the form of initial happiness.

And the final sixth feature promises a redevelopment of the process in any attempt to achieve something more. Blood may be shed.

As a result, it is better to show perseverance and prudence during exciting moments, which can lead to a positive result.

The Yi Ching Hexagrams are a set of six yao. As mentioned above, there are 64 hexagrams. This book dates back to the 8th-7th centuries BC. After 4-3 centuries, many decoding of hexagrams and aphorisms appeared (they are also called 10 wings) - they just laid the foundation for an unusual direction of Chinese philosophy, based on the concept of the variability of our world and the cyclical transition of some events and processes to others as a result of the interaction of processes yin and yang (forces of light and darkness). Hexagrams play a special role 0 they illustrate the cycle of space and its relationship with man.

In the near future, you will need all your strength and all your experience to resist people who want to disrupt your plans. Be careful when dealing with strangers and strangers. Now you may not be able to fully show all your talents, but if you work hard, you are guaranteed success in two months. Remember, now is not the time to think about the benefits. Also, you should not go on a trip in the near future. It is likely that soon you will meet a person who is very interested.

your wish

Your wish will certainly come true, although not immediately.

Explanation of each trait

explanation of traits of hexagram from bottom to top

Even the most intense creativity cannot be realized if there is no environment in which it will be realized. But this environment, in order to realize absolute creativity, must also be absolutely malleable and plastic. In addition, she must be deprived of any initiative of her own, must, in complete selflessness, only echo and follow the impulses of creativity. But at the same time, she would not be able to fulfill what is the creative intention. Therefore, she - a completely selfless force - is expressed metaphorically in the image of a mare, which, although devoid of the temper of a horse, is not inferior to him in the ability to act. If Creativity is Heaven, Light, Perfect Man, then Fulfillment is Earth, Darkness. A noble person who hears and obeys the instructions of the Perfect Person. It is he who here has to act not on these instructions, but on his own initiative, then he could only be mistaken. And only by following his master can he find him. So, for a noble person here it is best, having lost friends like him, to find a friend above his standing, who makes up for his shortcomings with his qualities. In the spatial symbolism of the Book, the southwest is considered an area of \u200b\u200bdarkness, since the extinction of light begins there. And, by contrast, the northeast - the region where light originates - is considered the region of light. Fulfillment is expressed in the features of darkness, so he needs to lose similar forces in the southwest and find replenishing "friend" forces in the northeast in order to obey them. At the same time, it is important that the activity of the Execution proceeds in complete calmness, in a submissive acceptance of its fate, without overdevelopment, otherwise its activity will not fulfill the intentions of creativity, but compete with them. Darkness will enter into an illegitimate battle with light, which cannot lead to a beneficial result, for the power of darkness is a blind necessity, not a clear consciousness. If the first symbol refers primarily to the sovereign, husband, etc., then the symbol Fulfillment tells about the activities of the subject, wife, etc. It shows the evolving need for Fulfillment. In the text it is expressed as follows: In the initial development, the stamina of the mare is favorable. A noble person has to act, but if he moves forward, he will get lost, while stepping back, he will find a master. Here it is favorable to find a friend in the southwest and to lose a friend in the northeast. Calm endurance is happiness.

The first moment of the Fulfillment is such that it itself is still imperceptible in it. And yet it will be carried out with complete necessity. Even if the power of Darkness and Cold has not yet been revealed here. But she has already begun to act. Even if the frost has already fallen out, the future frost is not yet noticeable, but if the frost has fallen, it means that the time is not far away when there will be strong ice, in which cold and darkness will already be fully manifested. The growth of strength and darkness can be understood in a figurative sense: this is the time when more and more "insignificance" - immoral people can begin to act. We must anticipate events and be ready to meet with them. Therefore, the words of the text sound like a warning: At the beginning, a weak line. If you stepped on the frost, then strong ice is coming.

In the symbolism of the geometric shapes of the Book, the sky is assigned the shape of a circle, and the earth - a square. Spatially, the sky is thought of as domed, and the earth is "straight," flat. But, entering into interaction with the sky, the earth must fully adapt to it in order to carry out its impulses. Despite the difference in their forms, this is possible due to the vastness of the earth. (The ancient Chinese idea that an infinitely large square tends to turn into a circle is attested in Chapter 41 of the Tao Te Ching: “The great square has no corners.”) In each symbol of the Book, one of the features is considered the main one. In this case, this is precisely the second feature. Therefore, the quality of this symbol is mainly expressed in it. And since in this case this quality is available in full measure, no preliminary exercises are required here: no preliminary preparation is needed, and everything develops favorably by itself. Only in the light of these thoughts does the text become understandable: Weak line in second place. The flat square is huge. Even though you don't prepare, there will be nothing negative.

After the first, internal revelation of this situation, a certain crisis occurs again. During it, free activity is impossible. A person can have the most beautiful qualities, but time does not favor him. Therefore, he must harbor his brilliance. He can be persistent and can even act, but only on the condition that his activity does not take place on his own initiative, but only on the instructions of a higher-standing leader, then only his work can be brought to the desired end. That is why the text also says: Weak line is in third place. Hold your shine and you can stay persistent. It is possible that if you act, following the leader, without doing anything, then the matter will be completed.

With the passivity of the power of Darkness characteristic of Fulfillment, the state of crisis is somewhat delayed. Therefore, although he has already passed in fourth position, his impact still remains. A person can have a lot, but here it is better for him to hide what he has: tie a bag. This position symbolizes the position of a person close to the sovereign. His position is unstable and full of troubles. Of course, if a person in such a position keeps in the background, then the danger will not threaten him, however, remaining unnoticed, he cannot count on any praise. So, in the text we read: Weak line in fourth place. Tie the bag. There will be no blasphemy, no praise.

Both the second and fifth lines, as the middle lines in the lower and upper trigrams, express one of the most important qualities: poise, understood as the ability to always be in the right place without extremes. [This central position is expressed in an image that requires some decoding. The fact is that the gamut of colors, according to ancient Chinese views, does not consist of seven (like ours), but of five colors, and in it the yellow color occupies a central position. Therefore, in the aphorisms relating to the second and fifth features, there are often images with the epithet "yellow"]. Also, yellow is the color of the Earth. The fifth line in this symbol, although it is not the main one, but, occupying the most advantageous position in the upper trigram, denoting the external, it still symbolizes the possibility of manifestation outside. Outward manifestation is a kind of clothing. But since here we are talking about the Earth, then its position, which is lower in relation to Heaven, is reflected in the fact that the lower part of Chinese clothing is indicated in the image: "skirt". The favorableness of this position makes it possible to speak here not only of happiness, but even of "primordial happiness". After these explanations, the text will probably not seem incomprehensible: Weak line in fifth place. Yellow skirt. Primordial happiness.

The sixth position expresses the overdevelopment of this situation. The Power of Darkness, being overdeveloped, comes into conflict with the power of Light. Here, at the extreme position, on the outskirts, Light and Darkness, Heaven and Earth, which are characterized by blue and yellow colors, are fighting. Fortunately, this battle cannot be, since it is a violation of the world law, and now the "blood of dragons" is pouring: Above is a weak point. Dragons fight on the outskirts. Their blood is blue and yellow. To avoid such a battle under the action of the forces of Darkness - weak traits - one must always keep in mind that only eternal fortitude can be favorable here. This is also indicated by the general warning to this symbol: When weak traits are active, eternal resistance is favorable.

General interpretation according to Yu. Shutsky

Even the most intense creativity cannot be realized if there is no environment in which it will be realized. But this environment, in order to realize absolute creativity, must also be absolutely malleable and plastic. In addition, she must be deprived of any initiative of her own, must, in complete selflessness, only echo and follow the impulses of creativity.

But at the same time, she would not be able to fulfill what is the creative intention. Therefore, she - a completely selfless force - is expressed metaphorically in the image of a mare, which, although devoid of the temper of a horse, is not inferior to him in the ability to act. If Creativity is Heaven, Light, Perfect Man, then Fulfillment is Earth, Darkness.

A noble person who hears and obeys the instructions of the Perfect Person. It is he who here has to act not on these instructions, but on his own initiative, then he could only be mistaken. And only by following his master can he find him.

So, for a noble person here it is best, having lost friends like him, to find a friend above his standing, who makes up for his shortcomings with his qualities. In the spatial symbolism of the Book, the southwest is considered an area of \u200b\u200bdarkness, since the extinction of light begins there.

And, by contrast, the northeast - the region where light originates - is considered the region of light. Fulfillment is expressed in the features of darkness, so he needs to lose similar forces in the southwest and find replenishing "friend" forces in the northeast in order to obey them.

At the same time, it is important that the activity of the Execution proceeds in complete calmness, in a submissive acceptance of its fate, without overdevelopment, otherwise its activity will not fulfill the intentions of creativity, but compete with them. Darkness will enter into an illegitimate battle with light, which cannot lead to a beneficial result, for the power of darkness is a blind necessity, not a clear consciousness.

If the first symbol refers primarily to the sovereign, husband, etc., then the symbol Fulfillment tells about the activities of the subject, wife, etc. It shows the evolving need for Fulfillment.

In the text it is expressed as follows: In the initial development, the stamina of the mare is favorable. A noble person has to act, but if he moves forward, he will get lost, while stepping back, he will find a master. Here it is favorable to find a friend in the southwest and to lose a friend in the northeast. Calm endurance is happiness.

The Chinese improved the ancient divination scheme by constructing a flexible and ingenious system of symbols and numbers. Each symbol allows you to see the situation from the point of view of its sequential development. According to the authors of the philosophical work, predictions can be realized in several interrelated directions - space, social and intrahuman.

Hexagram Kun indicates a favorable period of life, which should be used to change your behavior, and then your desires will be fulfilled, for one of the figurative names of this hexagram is "Fulfillment".

When the Kun hexagram appears, this suggests that the level and time of the fulfillment of desire directly depend on how well you can do your job. Moreover, work means not only work itself, but in general everything that, in one way or another, is related to your dream that you want to realize. It is not enough just to perform certain actions, the main thing is to perform them as efficiently as possible. If you work hard, you will get some result.

Hexagram Kun also warns that this moment is not the best time for travel, both close and distant. On the way, you may face various dangers and, first of all, those that will distract your consciousness from improving the quality of your own life. For this reason, you should focus as much as possible on what is happening to you here and now, and all offers to go somewhere should be refused.

The Kun hexagram, in addition to the semantic name "Execution", has one more name - "Empress", which indicates a meeting with an influential person. Such a meeting can happen very soon, and if you behave correctly, it can change your life, help you realize what you have long wanted. But for this you need to raise the level of your social environment. Namely, stop maintaining relationships with those who pull you back, who are not interested in your development, with those whose circle of interests is primitive.

It is very important at the time of the influence of the Kun hexagram to switch attention from the outer side of life to the inner one. Try now to think less about selfish and mercantile interests, the desire to experience deep experiences from the fullness of your being, from love should come first. Anyone who now, in spite of everything, will try to obtain benefits expressed in money or other material values, will lose, as they say, on all fronts.
