4. The positional relationship of gua in the I Ching
The I Ching 64 gua is intricate, but the relationship between the gua and the gua, between the inside of each gua, and between the position of the gua, is regular. Mastering these laws can make us grasp the I Ching faster and better.

4.1 The relationship between gua and gua
We often say that something is complicated, but in fact, the word is derived from the I Ching. The changes between the fingers here are complex, although complex, but their changes are very regular.
4.1.1 Miscalculation
Figure 12 Miscalculation
"Wrong gua" is also called "right gua" or "bypass gua", wrong gua is the meaning of yin and yang interlacing, that is, to reverse each gua, and the resulting gua is the wrong gua of the gua.
Wrong gua refers to the same position, but the perspective of the problem is different. Looking at life with the truth of wrong trigrams, there are those who agree and oppose, and those who are proud and frustrated.
64 Gua Gua Each gua has a wrong gua, such as Qiangua and Kun Gua, one heaven and one earth. Another example is the separation of gua and the kangua, a fire, a water, although water and fire are incompatible, but at the same time they complement each other and are indispensable.
4.1.2 Synthesis
Figure 13 Comprehensive diagram
The comprehensive gua is also called reverse gua and overturned gua, which is the gua obtained by turning the gua upside down. The comprehensive gua shows that the position has changed, and the gua xiang has also changed.
To look at life with the principle of comprehensive guagua is to put yourself in the other person's shoes and consider the other party, not only to take care of yourself, not only to consider problems from your own standpoint. For example, the Tianfeng 姤 [gòu] 卦, inverted 180 degrees to obtain a comprehensive gua as Zetian 夬 [guài] 卦. When you meet, you must seize the opportunity and cannot hesitate. The golem means to be decisive, decisive, and to be optimistic is to decide. Therefore, 姤 and 夬 are integrated.
4.1.3 Interactive Gua
Figure 14 Interaction
"Interactive gua" is the "complex" in "intricate", also known as mutual gua. It refers to a six-painting gua, in addition to the inner gua and the outer gua, the two, three, and four gua are mutual, the three, four, and five gua are intersected, and the interactive gua is overlapped from the top to the bottom. The interactive gua reflects the interactive relationship within things, and has an important impact on the cause of the gua, the internal gua of the mutual gua is the subjective gua image, and the external gua is the objective factor.
The interactive gua tells us to look at things comprehensively, and one gua looks at the outer gua and the inner gua, although both sides have noticed, but they are not complete enough. The depth of each trigram changes, and two interactive trigrams will be produced, so that one gua can see the four sutras, so that the problem will be more comprehensive and thorough.
4.2 Relationships within the Gua
After understanding the relationship between the gua, let's take a look at what kind of relationships there are within the gua. "Multiplication ratio" reflects that the relationship between the related masters within the guaxiang can be summarized as same-sex repulsion and opposite-sex attraction.
4.2.1 Acceptance
Figure 15
"Undertaking" means to carry on, flattering. Most of them are Yin Yao Shang Chengyang, symbolizing the weak and the strong, or the virtuous servants assisting the Ming Jun.
There are three cases of inheritance: if one yang is on top and one yin is on the bottom, this yin is "cheng" for the upper yang; one yang is on the top, several yin are on the bottom, and the yin below is "cheng" for the upper yang; and the two yin and yang are also "cheng".
4.2.2 multiplier
Figure 16 multiplied
"Multiplication" and "undertaking" are the opposite, which means to multiply and condescend. It symbolizes that the villain takes advantage of the gentleman, sinks down to bully the monarch, and is not good. This shows the idea of Fuyang and Yin suppression in the I Ching.
Multiplication has two cases: if one yin is on top and one yang is on the bottom, this yin is "multiplied" for the yang below; one yang is on the bottom, and several yin are on the top, and the upper yin is "multiplying" for the lower yang.
4.2.3 ratio
Adjacent two are called "ratio", which means neighbor and shoulder to shoulder. Two adjacent yao, one yin and one yang, are called "proportional". For example, Shuidi Bi Gua, Liu Si Yao words: "Outer than zhi, Zhen Ji". The Sixth Fourth Yin Is in the Yin Position, and the Position is "directly proportional" to the Nine-Five Yao, so the "Elephant" says: "The outer is better than the sage, so as to be from above."
If the two adjacent yao are both yang or yin, they are "inverse ratio", and if they are repelled by the same sex, the "inverse ratio" is the enemy. For example, Bi Gua, Liu San Yao words: "Than the bandit". Referring to verse 1.2, the word "bandit" here cannot be translated as wrong, but as an unrighteous person. Why is it that he is close to an unruly person? It is because the upper and lower halves of Six-Three are both yin, which is "inverse ratio".
4.2.4 Shall
Figure 17 Should
"Should" is the correspondence between the inner gua and the outer gua. Among the six masters, the first and fourth, the second and fifth, and the third and the sixth, there is a kind of like-minded alliance relationship, called "ying". Between the yin and yang are called "corresponding", between the same sex, there is no meaning of mutual gain, called "no response".
For example, in the first six and six four, six two and six five, the first six and six five, for the soft "should" soft, the nine three and the upper nine, for the rigid "should" rigid, between the same sex, is for "no response", so the "Yan" said: "The enemy above and below should not be with each other."
4.3 Midpoint
In the I Ching, the concepts of "getting in the middle" and "being in position" are particularly important, and the position of each yao greatly affects the auspiciousness of this yao. In the six yao, the odd numbers 1, 3, and 5 are yang, and the even numbers 2, 4, and 6 are yin. The yang is in the yang position, and the yin is in the yin position, which is called "positive" and also "in place"; on the contrary, it is called "deorganization" or "improper position".
"Positive" means that the development of things follows the right path and conforms to objective laws. In the "I Ching", it not only advocates "righteousness", but also advocates "zhongzheng" and "centering". Among the six yao, the second is in the middle of the lower gua, and the fifth is in the middle of the upper gua, called "center", the geographical location of these two yao is very superior, symbolizing adherence to the middle way, impartiality, the mainland's moderate thinking and here "centering" have the same magic.
If the yang is in the middle, there is "the virtue of just in the middle". If the yin is in the middle, there is "the virtue of softness". If the yin is in the sixth and second positions and the yang is in the ninety-five position, it is for both "middle" and "positive", called "middle righteousness", which is the best symbol in the six yang.
Among the six words of the I Ching, the second and fifth two auspicious words are the most, accounting for 47% of the total number of auspicious words; the fierce words are the least, accounting for 14% of the total number of fierce words, indicating that the position in the middle brings most auspiciousness. In general, the I Ching is auspicious and the wrong position is fierce, but in the I Ching, "middle" is more important than "positive". Even if it is not in place, but in the "middle" position, it may be auspicious. Under what circumstances is it not auspicious? There is also a factor of timing in the I Ching, even if it is in the middle position, the time is auspicious, and the time is wrong. For example, Mizusawa Jiegua Jiu Er Yao: "Don't go out of the court, fierce." "Little Elephant" said: "Don't go out in the court, fierce." Lost time pole also". It shows that Ninety-Two has lost an excellent opportunity.
