大河遇到阻碍就会饶个弯
老子道德经【第二十二章】曲则全，枉则直，洼则盈，敝则新，少则得，多则惑….
意思是说”委曲便会保全，屈枉便会直伸；低洼便会充盈，陈旧便会更新；少取便会获得，贪多便会迷惑….
“曲则全，枉则直”意思是说所有的山河都没有直线的, 他们都是弯弯曲曲, 那是大自然的规律, 大河就是弯弯曲曲，然后流向大海, 除非那是人造河, 所以风水学里面我们说弯曲有情。意思是说，你家前面的路或者是河如果是弯弯曲曲的，那要比直线的大道大河好！大河遇到阻碍就会饶个弯，但是它的目地是流向海洋。它的意志力是直线但表达方式是弯曲的。所以我们说话如果太直接，可能会得罪人。我们如果可以婉转一点，但是还是可以达到目的的话，那不是更好吗？
大自然的河水都要曲折地流向大海，如果河水是通行无阻的流向大海，河水很快就流到海里, 我们就没有水喝，那清水很快就变成咸的海水。要化大水，必须要疏通它，而不是阻挡它。因此人的一生都要曲折面对困难，不可能永远顺畅，很多事情是要阻挡也阻挡不了的。所以我们要勇敢的面对，一切将会迎刃而解.
知道太极线(S线)为什么是弯曲的吗？ 它在提醒我们做人不可以刚直不懂得变通 ，做人如果直直不会转弯一成不变你就会很容易撞墙， 直话别人听不进去。 马路如果直直容易出车祸， 因为大家都会加速驾驶。 越弯曲的马路，司机越要小心驾驶。 因此在风水里我们说直水无情，弯曲有情， 面对直直的大道的屋子风水一般上都不好 。我们有时候说话要圆通， 别人才会听得进去.
“洼则盈”意思是说湖泊凹进去才能被水填满，少了也才会填满。如果今天我没有过去的我的缺，就是说如果我没有以前的经历和知识，就不会说出今天的道理和体会。如果我们谦虚，不要自满，这样才能够学习新的知识。不要自以为是, 觉得你什么都懂.
“少则得，多则惑”意思是说当您缺乏时，我们将不胜感激，但是当您有剩余时，您将不会珍惜它。小时候家里穷，大家都会很珍惜, 记得以前我们一支铅笔可以用很久啊，可以用到铅笔很短还在用，因为当时我们物质享受没有今天孩子这么的丰盛。当我们穷了，我们才会珍惜。当我们富有了，我们就不会知道珍惜，因为物质享受太多了。这就是易经里面的损卦和益卦(profit and loss, credit and debit)的意思。
“敝则新”意思是说如果没有以前的发现就不会有今天科学的发明。如果以前的人没有发现基本的原理，就好像如果以前的人没有发现binary code，就不会有今天我们先进的手机。binary code就是阴阳道理，一横是阳断线是阴。今天的发明是根据以前人的发现，今天的发明是建立在以前人的知识上。许多工程的应用是建立在牛顿的基本原理 ，F=ma2.
今天的我是可以说出这些道理，是因为以前的我旧的我学习和经验。象棋是旧的。但一但是我们每一次下棋都是新的一局，因此”敝则新”。
易经是四书五经之首, 很多人说这本书是特别的难懂, 因为要读懂得上古人的智慧，是不容易的。但是这本书一直在影响着我们中华民族。研究了易经，我有一个体会，那就是我们的祖先对我们最刻骨铭心的教诲就是要居安思危。这原理就是从易经而来。未雨绸缪，要居安思危。所以中华民族就有了节省储蓄的习惯，友族很少有这种观念。储蓄的’儲’字为什么是一个有信用的’信’，还有一个’者’呢？因为有储蓄的人是有可以相信的人。古人造字是有一套逻辑的。从小我们的父母亲就会教导我们, 如果有了十块钱，就要把尽量的把三块钱收起来做储蓄。这个观念是来自那里？这个观念是来自于易经。易经里面我们常提醒我们的道理就是物极必反，否极泰来，乐极生悲，周而复始。因为易经是 Book of Change，讲的就是变化。球如果你丢到最高处，他就会往下, 但如果往下了，它也会弹回去。
因此第11卦是泰卦，第12卦否卦，天下太平之后就可能会出现不平。第十六豫卦，豫是快乐，那不是很好吗？但它提醒我们要小心乐极生悲。第23卜是剥卦，24卜郤是复卦，剥削了就会复兴。秋天叶子剥落了, 以保全整槐树可以继续生长: 到了春天，叶子又在长回来了, 这是大自然的规律。
易经一直在提醒我们，如果好的时候就要节制，不好的时候不要灰心，只要我们一直不断的充实自己，准备未来。易经里面最凶的第29卦习坎就是古人最怕的大江大浪大水卦, 水里面可能有有漩涡，我们看不到，以前的人如果走到黄河，长江，大水阻挡他前进，所以他们就最怕水.也在提醒我们，只要我们乐观面对，不断充实自己，接下来的过就是第三十卜的离卦，离卜就是火卦，就是两个太阳，也就是黑暗过后就是光明。所以新冠肺炎疫情之后就是复兴。
最近发生的马云的事件让我想起易经的乾卦，易经第一卦的乾卦95爻九五之尊，95飞龙在天，九五爻之后就上九爻是亢龙有悔。一个人如果飞龙在天之后，如果不懂得退下来, 继续往上飞的话就会亢龙有悔，意思是说一个人如果到了巅峰，他往往都不会看到事情的真相，因为下面的人都会一直在奉承他，他也很容易得意忘形.
历史一直在重复, 当一个人得意忘形高高在上的时候就会容易犯下很多错误，继续的往上飞，就会有后悔了。一个人在最开心的时候就是防备心最脆弱的时候，你完全没有防备，那些酒后喝醉的商人，他们将签署商业协议。所以第十六豫卜，豫是快乐，但易经提醒我们要小心乐极生悲。豫，鸣豫，野鸡叫，商纣王只顾享乐，身边都是小人，小人当道，身边像被一群野鸡包围着, 他所听到的都是奉承他的话因此后来商朝灭亡而周朝成立。
历史里有清朝的年羹尧，年羹尧当年因为战功赫赫而得意忘形，到了北京拜见雍正皇帝的时候骑在马上不要下来，在紫禁城里，只有皇帝可以骑在马上，但是年根尧却骑着马进宫因此得罪了雍正皇帝。敦马也不是这样吗？喜来登事件时他还以为他是全部人所拥戴的首相， 得意忘形，信心满满，结果翻了一个跟斗。
它也提醒我们 ，高处不胜寒 ，物极必反， 当一个物体往上抛到达了顶点一定会快速的下降， 能高就高， 应该底就要底， 大丈夫能屈能伸，刚柔并济， 外圆内方。 易经的第1卦乾为天卦的95飞龙在天之后就是上九的亢龙有悔， 告诉我们如果一个人高高在上位高权重， 就容易迷失自己不懂得下台， 更会忘记初心， 因为身边的人都会因为他位高权重而巴结他。 如果你霸占位子不下来，会有人把你拉下来。 所谓高处不胜寒， 如果你高高在山上， 敌人在下面你的一举一动他们都看得很清楚， 要侵略你是很容事。 因此易经强调中庸之道是永远不败的兵法。 如果敌人太过强大 ，孙子兵法强调三十六计走为上计，不可强攻。
所以易经一直在提醒我们，物极必反，不要得意忘形。论语有记录；子曰 :加我数年，五十以学易，可以无大过矣。意思是说孔子说如果能够给他多几年，不要等到50岁才来学易经，他就不会犯什么大过了。可见易经是一个难得可贵的经典。
The Essence of I Ching
Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching [Chapter 22]
Qu is complete, in vain is straight, depression is surplus, if it is new, less
is worth, more is confusing....
It means "If you bend, you will
be preserved, and if you are in vain, you will straighten out; the concave will
be full, and the old will be renewed; if you take less, you will get it, and if
you are greedy, you will be confused....
“曲则全，枉则直”means : All mountains and rivers have no
straight lines, they are all twists and turns, that is the law of nature. The
big river is meandering, and then flows to the sea, unless it is a man-made
river, so in Feng Shui we say that bending is affectionate. It means that if
the road or river in front of your house is crooked, it is better than a
straight avenue and a big straight river!
The big river will bend when it
encounters obstacles, but its purpose is to flow to the ocean. Its willpower is
straight but its expression is curved. So if we speak too directly, we may
offend people. Wouldn’t it be better if we could be tactful, but still achieve
the goal?
Do you know why the Tai Chi
lines (S line) is curved? It reminds us that being a person cannot be too
straight forward and do not know how to be flexible. If a person is straight
and does not know how to make a turn, stand still, you will easily hit the
wall. If the road is straight, it is easy to get into a car accident, because
everyone will speed up. The more curved the road, the more careful the driver
must drive. Therefore, in Feng Shui, we say that straight water is ruthless,
curved water is sentimental. Houses facing straight roads are generally not
good in feng shui. Sometimes we have to speak well without delivering our
points straightly, so that others can listen.
“洼则盈”means : Only when the lake is recessed can it be filled with water,
and when it is not full filled, it can only be filled. Otherwise, it will be
overfilled. If today I don’t have the lack of my past, that is, if I don’t have
previous experience and knowledge, I won’t be able to tell the theory and
experience of today. If we are humble, don't be
complacent, then only we can new knowledge. Don't be self-righteous, think you
know everything.
少则得，多则惑means when you are lacking,
we will appreciate but when you have surplus, you won’t cherish it. When I was young, my family was poor
and everyone would cherish it very much. I remember that we could use a pencil
for a long time. We could use a pencil for a very short time, because at that
time our material enjoyment was not as rich as today's children. When we are
poor, we will cherish it. When we are rich, we will not know to cherish,
because there are too many material comforts. This is the meaning of loss and gain in the
Book of Changes.
“敝则新”means that if there were no previous
discoveries, there would be no scientific inventions today. If the people in
the past did not discover the basic principles, just like if the people in the
past did not discover the binary code, there would not be our advanced mobile
phones today. Binary code is the principle of yin and yang, a horizontal line
is yang and a broken line is yin. Today's invention is based on the discoveries
of the previous people, and today's invention is based on the knowledge of the
previous people. Many engineering applications are based on Newton’s basic principles,
F=ma2.
Today I can say these
truths because of my previous learning and experience. Chess is old. But every
time we play chess is a new game, so “敝则新”.
Many people say that the Book of Changes is very difficult to understand. Of course, That is true because it is the oldest book in the world older than the Bible and the Quran. It is very difficult to understand the thoughts and language of people in ancient society. Therefore, the books of I Ching are generally very thick. It is not easy to understand the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. After reading it many times, I still think that I don't know it enough. But I can say that I have understood its essence. Now I want to share these essences with everyone.
The Book of Changes is the first of the four books and five classics. Many people say that this book is particularly difficult to understand, because it is not easy to understand the wisdom of the ancients. But this book has been influencing our Chinese nation. After studying the Book of Changes, I have realized, that is, our ancestors taught us the most unforgettable lesson to be prepared for danger in times of peace. This principle comes from the Book of Changes. Take precautions and be prepared for danger in times of peace. So the Chinese people have the habit of saving savings, and other races rarely have this concept.Why the Chinese word is "chu" for savings is a “trust" word and another "person" word? Because people who have savings are those can be trusted. Ancient man-made characters have a set of logic. Since childhood, our parents will teach us that if we have ten dollars, we should save three dollars as much as possible. Where did this idea come from? This concept comes from the Book of Changes. In the Book of Changes, we often remind us that the truth is that the extreme of things must be reversed, if the extreme happiness and peaceful may follow by sorrow, the extreme of happiness generates sorrow, and it repeats itself. Book of Change is about change. If you throw the ball to the highest point, it will go down, but if it goes down, it will also bounce back.
Therefore, the eleventh divination is
Tai Qua, and the twelfth divination is Pi Qua. After the world is peaceful,
there may be injustice. Sixteenth Yu Qua, Yu is happiness, isn't that good? But
it reminds us to be careful of happiness and sorrow as joy may beget sorrow. The 23rd divination is a
divination of peel, but the 24th divination is a repetition. If it is exploited, it
will be restored. The leaves are peeled off in autumn, so that the whole locust
tree can continue to grow. In spring, the leaves will grow back again, this
is the law of nature.
The Book of Changes has always
reminded us that we must be temperate when we are good, and we should not be
discouraged when we are bad, as long as we continue to enrich ourselves and
prepare for the future. The 29th divination in the I Ching is the most fierce
divination of the ancients, the great rivers, waves and water divination. There may be whirlpools in the water. We can’t see them. If the people in the past walked to the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, the water would block him and Yi Jing reminds us that as long as we face it optimistically and continue to enrich
ourselves. The next qua will be the divination of the 30th Li Qua
divination. Li Qua is fire divination, two Suns, that is, after darkness is
over, there is light. So after the Covid 19 pandemic, there is a revival. Hope that it will be over soon.
The recent Ma Yun incident reminded
me of the divination of the Yijing, the 95 yao of the first divination of the
Yijing, the 95 flying dragon is in the sky, and the up 9 yao is Kang long regretful. If the flying dragon doesn’t
know how to retreat and continue to fly upward, you will feel regretful. This
means that if a person reaches the peak, he will often not see the truth of the
matter, because the people below he will always flatter him, and he can easily
get overwhelmed.
History has been repeating it all the
time. When a person is overwhelmed with pride, he will easily make many
mistakes. If he continues to fly up, he will regret it. Just now, we have spoken about the Yu Qua, the happiness qua. The time when a person
is happiest is when his defense is the weakest. You have no defense at all, so
the sixteenth Yu Qua, Yu is happiness, but the Book of Changes reminds us to be
careful of happiness. Those businessmen after they have drunk with alcohol, they will sign the business agreement. King Shang Zhou only cared about pleasure, surrounded by
villains, villains in charge, all he heard were flattery to him, so later the
Shang Dynasty was destroyed and the Zhou Dynasty was established.
In history, there was Nian Gengyao
from the Qing Dynasty. Nian Genyao was overwhelmed by his military merit. When
he came to Beijing to meet Emperor Yongzheng, he rode on a horse and don’t get
off. In the Forbidden City, only the emperor can ride on a horse, but Nian
Genyao rode on a horse. He offended Emperor Yongzheng for this. The same
happened to Tun Mahathir, wasn’t it? At the time of the Sheraton incident, he
thought he was the prime minister supported by everyone. As a result, he turned over a
somersault.
It also reminds us that the
peak of the mountain is extremely cold, and the object must be reversed. When
an object is thrown up and reaches the apex, it must fall quickly. When you
have to be high, you stay high. When you need to stay at the bottom, you stay
humbly at the bottom there too. A gentleman should be flex and stretch. The
first Qua in 64 Qua of the Book of Changes (Yijing), after the 95 is the dragon
flying in the sky is 96 the dragon will remorse, telling us that if a person
stands high and has power and authority, it is easy to lose himself and do not
know how to step down. Everyone will praise him because of his high weight. If
you keep on occupying the seat when your time is over, someone will pull you
down. The so-called high places are extremely cold. If you are high up in the
mountains, your enemies will see your every move clearly from the below. It is
very easy for them to invade you. Therefore, Yi Jing emphasizes that the golden
rule is MODERATE. If the enemy is too strong, Sun Tzu's Art of War emphasizes
that we avoid it and do not force an attack.
Therefore, the Book of Changes has always reminded us that the extremes of things must be reversed. The Analects has a record; Confucius said: Add me a few years, fifty years to learn Yi, there can be no big mistakes. It means that Confucius said that if can give him a few more years and don't wait until he was 50 to learn the Book of Changes, he will not commit any mistakes. It can be seen that the Book of Changes is a precious classic.
