Chapter Twenty-nine Teaching and Playing(2/2)

"The Book of Changes is not passed down by my Confucian sect. Dao, Mo, and Xuan all have it. Recently, some Confucian sects have interpreted it with the Tai Chi Yin Yang River diagram, but our sect still uses the human way to interpret the hexagrams. The sixty-four hexagrams of the Zhou Yi

, are the sixty-four images, which represent the sixty-four changes in human nature. For example, the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun refer to kings and ministers, father and son."

 Zhang Yue couldn't help but be fascinated after hearing this. What he realized was that the ancients had already thought of it and summed up the rules.

"In the sixty-four hexagrams, two pairs are yin and yang, and the song of the mixed hexagrams is 'Qian is strong and kun is soft, and is more worried than a musician. Come, watch the meaning, either give or seek. See without losing its place, mixed and mixed... …”

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves of several osmanthus trees in the courtyard made a sound. There were also ripples on the inkstone in the center. A few birds were jumping around the window sill, or pecking at the window paper.

 Zhang became more and more engrossed as he listened, and couldn't help but feel fascinated. If I could listen to Master teach the Tao of Yi, I would definitely be ten times better than these students. It's a pity...

The more Zhang thought about this, he realized that the voice was getting closer and closer. When he raised his hand, he saw that Zhang Heng, the chief of the village, was standing in front of him holding a scroll in his right hand and shouting.
