There&#8217;s nothing wrong with that, see? &#8220;No repetition: nothing unfavorable.&#8221; Once you cultivate your inner self to reach this state, achieving the position of Six in the Second Place is very favorable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Six in the Third Place: &#8220;Embodies elegance; can be steadfast.&#8221;*(\u542b\u7ae0\u53ef\u8d1e h\u00e1n zh\u0101ng k\u011b zh\u0113n)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>This touches upon aesthetic qualities, doesn&#8217;t it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>&#8220;Perhaps following the king&#8217;s affairs: no accomplishment, yet there is an end.&#8221; (\u6216\u4ece\u738b\u4e8b\uff0c\u65e0\u6210\u6709\u7ec8 hu\u00f2 c\u00f3ng w\u00e1ng sh\u00ec, w\u00fa ch\u00e9ng y\u01d2u zh\u014dng) <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>As long as you maintain an inclusive character and cultivated virtue, &#8220;embodying elegance and upholding steadfastness&#8221; \u2013 holding fast to the right path and true principles of conduct \u2013 even if you do not &#8220;follow the king&#8217;s affairs&#8221; (serve the ruler or strive alongside the successful), you may achieve &#8220;no great accomplishment,&#8221; yet &#8220;there is an end.&#8221; My life may be simple and plain, but great is its truth!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Simplicity and plainness embody true authenticity.&#8221; This is the core of our inner nature\u2013 the key lies in cultivating the heart-mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Six in the Fourth Place: &#8220;Tying the sack: no blame, no praise.&#8221;(\u62ec\u56ca\uff0c\u65e0\u548e\uff0c\u65e0\u8a89 *ku\u00f2 n\u00e1ng, w\u00fa ji\u00f9, w\u00fa y\u00f9*)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Look, positions like Six in the Third and Fourth (and similarly, Nine in the Third and Fourth in other hexagrams) represent the human realm. When in this position, one must maintain inner cultivation and tranquility. &#8220;Tying the sack&#8221; means drawing the strings closed. &#8220;No blame&#8221; signifies freedom from fault, but also &#8220;no praise&#8221; \u2013 no particular recognition or glory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, Six in the Fifth Place is very different and extremely favorable: &#8220;Yellow lower garment: supreme auspiciousness.&#8221; (\u9ec4\u88f3\uff0c\u5143\u5409 hu\u00e1ng ch\u00e1ng, yu\u00e1n j\u00ed)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>&#8220;Yellow&#8221; (\u9ec4 hu\u00e1ng) refers to the color of earth, the central soil. &#8220;Lower garment&#8221; (\u88f3 ch\u00e1ng) refers to the skirt or lower part of traditional attire (ancient clothing for both men and women included a top, \u8863 y\u012b, and a lower garment, \u88f3 ch\u00e1ng). Returning to the earth, the center of the land, &#8220;yellow lower garment: supreme auspiciousness&#8221; represents a most beautiful state\u2013 the most abundant, peaceful, and auspicious condition. If you obtain the Kun hexagram with this line (Six in the Fifth), it is very favorable. (Of course, obtaining the Nine in the Fifth Place in the Qian hexagram signifies reaching the highest state in both career and life).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Top Six: &#8220;Dragons fight in the wild; their blood is dark and yellow.&#8221;(\u9f99\u6218\u4e8e\u91ce\uff0c\u5176\u8840\u7384\u9ec4 l\u00f3ng zh\u00e0n y\u00fa y\u011b, q\u00ed xu\u00e8 xu\u00e1n hu\u00e1ng)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">See? Even within Kun (Earth), there is mention of dragons. Actually, this dragon is a symbolic representation. &#8220;Dragons fight in the wild&#8221; depicts fierce conflict in the open fields. The Earth hexagram inherently has no dragon of its own; yet, reaching this topmost position, one might perceive &#8220;dragons&#8221; everywhere on the earth, becoming confused. &#8220;Dragons fight in the wild&#8221; signifies struggles for power and gain. Upon reaching this position, &#8220;their blood is dark and yellow&#8221; evokes bloodshed and turmoil, reminiscent of wars between ancient tribes, which indeed occurred frequently. But in terms of human conduct, why do we discuss Qian and Kun? Ultimately, they both teach life&#8217;s principles. If you reach the highest position in life (like this Top Six), you should realize: do not engage in struggles for power and gain. Otherwise, you will lose your true self, which is also unfavorable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Additionally, Kun has the special line: &#8220;Yong Six (Using Six): Favorable for perpetual steadfastness.&#8221;(\u7528\u516d\uff0c\u5229\u6c38\u8d1e y\u00f2ng li\u00f9, l\u00ec y\u01d2ng zh\u0113n)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Similarly, Qian has &#8220;Yong Nine&#8221; (\u7528\u4e5d y\u00f2ng ji\u01d4). Only the Qian and Kun hexagrams possess these unique &#8220;Using&#8221; lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><div class=\"floating-menu float-menu-1 notranslate\"><ul class=\"fm-bar\"><li class=\"fm-item-1-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/recommend.php\" target=\"_self\" ><div class=\"fm-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-youtube \"><\/i><\/div><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The entire earth, vast in its expanse across the east,  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7170"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7171,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7170\/revisions\/7171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
