(Dr.Chen Yikui)

In the record of the entire Zhouyi, Kun hexagram, is overall to all hexagram the explanations are relatively few, but its focus, it is just fine. Kun hexagram is upper Kun trigram with lower Kun trigram, originally at the time of the Book of Changes, had to talk about what it was. It only wrote Kun, but in fact it was called upper Kun and lower Kun. It called the earth Kun, so it was right, but at the end, it only writes as Kun.

坤: 元，亨，利牝馬之貞。君子有攸往，先迷後得主，利。西南得朋，東北喪朋。安貞吉。

This is a record. Before the Zhou Dynasty, it was probably a nomad. Obviously, it uses Kun hexagram to described the meaning of the entire prairie. Why does it make a horse? The horse are a mare. Because it was a nomadic people. If you want to continue generation of the horse, with only the stallion will not work. Often a stallion can be equipped with a lot of mares. Assuming that there is only one mare, many stallions will soon be extinct. Once with a thunder, that mare was killed by thunder, not to be extinct. Therefore, people attach great importance to this mother horse. Animal husbandry likes cows very much. In the past, horses were a kind of animal needed by nobles. Horse riding and carriages were used by nobles. Like Confucius, he can't ride a horse or ride a horse. He has to ride an oxcart. Laozi's record must be riding a cow, not riding horses, such a famous Laozi, as his status, so the horse is represented on the Great Plains, a very large plain, it does not exist, then you have no way to show your status.

君子有攸往-The gentleman has a long way to go, usually a gentleman on the logic of the Book of Changes, it is considered a status, a great man, or this group of nobles. 先迷後得主-The first and then the winner, this paragraph, that is, representing a very large number of land, the horse can run on the entire land. This kind of culture often shows that the culture between land and horses is very vivid in terms of aristocrats.

When Lang Shining came to the Qing Dynasty, he was a meticulous painting. He would draw an animal or a character and he would paint it very well. He would paint very much like photography. Even the painting would have more three-dimensionality than photography. The court of the Qing Dynasty. Look at it so great, and finally give him the official Lulu Erguan- Close to position of shangshu or or the second manager. Originally he was going to preach, and he did not do it at the end. Because he was in so high of position, he was very happy.

When it comes to the era of the Republic of China, there was a man named Xu Beihong. He also painted horses, but also in the Republic of China, who got it? All of them are simply above the official position and can get his horse. In Beijing auction, Xu Beihong’s horse sold for 24 million yuan. In Taiwan’s currency is nearly 100 million.

So from the perspective of the Book of Changes itself, besides the dragon as thunder, the next important animal is the horse. This is where it can protect the aristocratic status that the country can protect it. Just like Mao Zedong grabbed military power. The gun can take power, and Kun Gua not only started from the Zhou Dynasty. As long as the whole hexagram has been in place since Fuxi, it has been positioned so. You are a nobleman. You have good horses. Probably you are not afraid of being destroyed.

西南得朋-Southwestern friends. This is an area in the entire Yellow River valley where horse-breeding must be in a rich grasslands. At that time it must be in the middle of the entire grassland, that was, in the Yellow River Basin of Dahuaxia. However, many of them are studying the Book of Changes. At that time, what was the Southwest? It was probably the best place in the Yellow River Basin before the Zhou Dynasty. It was the river basin. So at the time of the Ming dynasty, there was an article written by a literary person. It said that the Yellow River was bad in may area but only benefit in Hetao. In fact, about the river area in the Song Dynasty, they had already settled this case. There are three sets of rivers across the Yellow River, the East, West, and South sets. Then, if you have friend in the southwest and you were injured in the northeast, you can see that was use the river to set as the southwest, then where was the northeast then? The dry mountain on Mongolia is called the northeast. From the northeast of the Loop, it is in Mongolia. The meaning of hurting is starve to death. There is no money. Friend- 朋-this character were not friends before the Zhou Dynasty. It was a treasure. Bei and Bei stuck it together is 朋. It was a valuable thing.

To talk about such valuable things, when Yuan Shikai became a leader, he used sterling silver, and China's tens of thousands of tons of sterling silver to make it a head of coins. It was one coin a ounce. Yuan Datou was a model commissioned by Germany. A dollar is equal to one ounce. The ounce are not Taiwan ounce and they are completed in this way. Friend 朋 are also considered a kind of shellfish. It can be seen that before the Zhou dynasty, it was used as a thing of real value in the medium, and it was connected with it in shellfish. Now that we have discovered this thing, let us discuss it. Assuming that Hetao is in that Place, you can find it-Bei. Can you see if it was in water? When our planet has just begun to operate, and there is no orogenic movement, I think that the sea is everywhere. When it came to the final mountain building movement, it began to bulge. It was impossible to have shellfish in the river. When you are hurt in Northeast, that means if you use Bei to buy a horse, you can't buy it. Why? There is no horse there. Because there is nothing to eat! Starvation. In fact it is so, it should be interpreted as such. The injury is the meaning of loss. Nothing, it is dead.

彖曰:至哉坤元，萬物資生。乃順承天。坤厚載物，德合無疆。

I think this is a record, everything is on the earth, can not run away, or can not run off the Great Plains.乃順承天, Well, this record is correct. On the Great Plains, the whole climate change, the Great Plains on Earth, must be accepted. Your climate will change no matter how you need to accept it. Just like dust storms in places like Gansu and Inner Mongolia on the mainland, you can't say I'm doing something on the ground, so can't have sandstorm, no. Whatever God wants, you must naturally take it. When you are on our land, you must accept the entire climate, including the entire changes in the solar economy, and even when it rains or strong storm, you must bear it.

坤厚載物-Kun is carrying things. All our things are on the earth. 德合無疆.Because it has no borders, it is of course very far. It is all land and there is no boundary. There is no limit to this land. You assume that if you talk about the matter without borders, you can say that the land is round. If it has no borders, you will always go and walk on the ground. The land did not say there was an end, and if you did walk, you kept walking. Of course, the previous people did not know that they would go with a straight line, and eventually they would go to their original positions. Because the precision of the previous direction may not be enough, it may have been winding, but it is not necessarily hundreds of kilometers away from the location. It is always winding, but from here, thinking before the Zhou Dynasty, this kind of thinking was very difficult. Look at the Egyptian culture of the Nile Valley, it felt that the land was square, and there must be a boundary. So when Egypt was so civilized, they also had explorers, and they walked against the Nile, which I saw thirty years ago. It was recorded that it was known that they had been going up the Nile and went to a big waterfall. The land was sto here. Because the waterfall couldn't climb. We often talked about what kind of water came from heaven. The water of the Yellow River came from heaven. In fact, this adjective came from the Nile. Their article states that the Great Falls on the Nile had fallen from above and came from heaven. Later we took the Yellow River water from heaven and set it in.

含弘光大，品物咸亨，牝馬地類，行地無疆，柔順利貞。西南得朋，乃與類行。東北喪朋，乃終有慶，安貞之吉，應地無疆。

Can go anywhere, it can be seen that it is all connected together.

柔順利貞-Soft and smooth. Its previous records can still be used now. If your land is hard is useless, the land must contain mineral, and the land is soft. Then in all aspects of your pasture, will grow well. In good times, your sheep, horses and cattle can be very fat. It is this “soft”柔 word, if it is for land, soft may be the soil of the land. Shun- 順 is talking about the beasts. It's like cows, horses, and sheep. These are very smooth, and my pig raising is very smooth. Says the pig is very good, what is very smooth, then what is rich, I earn money very smoothly, soft is the land, fertile meaning.

君子攸行. It is equal to the nobility,先迷失道，後順得常.This is the case when you first become obsessed with wild grazing. Lost then finally return. 60 years ago, Taiwan’s economy was very bad, and it happened 228 at that time. Why did 228 occur? Because the economy was not good, you have to go to set a smoke stalls if you have a bad economy. If you have a good economy, it would be good to go to 7-11. There wouldn't be a smoke stall, a problem of distribution, that is, the economy is not good and fear of being confiscated. If the price of cigarettes is going to be priced, if my bit of money is confiscated by you, cannot make any profit, even the capital is gone, then this is serious and of course it will resist. Everybody's finical is not idle, it's okay. If you resist, then the other auditors party have guns. I know that they use the rifle butcher. The busy people next to them think how can they do it and they  start to flight .So when the economy is bad, it will probably be like this.

西南得朋，乃與類行. Southwestern friends, but with their kind. 得朋 is literally explaining that it is a friend. It has their kind to walks along. Friends. Standing on the attitude of the study of the Book of Changes, it is not a friend, it is a valuable thing.

東北喪朋，乃終有慶，安貞之吉，應地無疆

This is how it feels.

象曰：地勢坤，君子以厚德載物

Xiang says: The terrain is kun, and the gentleman takes care of things.

Kun, meaning Great Plains, a gentleman takes care of things. noble.

Many of these people speak like this kind of tone. They are probably all the students of Confucius, and they all want leaders to do the way they want. This is a kind of spiritual speech. How  deep is your morality? Deep, have not used the prospecting machine to look at it, but it is used to describe it, and this general earliest description is also expressed in the stream of many schools. Like Lao Tzu’s moral classics, it also use such teachings, including the old study, is a matter of psychological problems in the Yellow Emperor Shi Jing. This is a psychological issue. So leaders should have this kind of heart.
