Zhou Yi-book of change explanations (89)
易曰:困於石，據於蒺藜
The second 易曰 is talked a bit longer, but of course, our Confucius said it shorter.
蒺藜 These two words, everyone take it as a Chinese medicine. Very good Chinese medicine strong agent called scorpion. The most famous time was after Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. Because Jiaqing was in a recession after the Qing Dynasty, many people must work hard and save food. If your family leader is thrifty a lot, also have many women, he will probably not be able to give birth to a son. This way they will be very anxious to marry more wives.
What is Confucius use this 蒺藜 for? Officials use. Taiwan does not have this thing. Taiwan has bamboo called red bamboo. The red bamboo that I know, it is relatively small, very thick and soft, can be compiled into a cage. Before, in my grandmother‘s era, the punishment for long-term work at home could not be beaten. If I interrupted the leg, they would not be able to work in the future. use cage, will make it out of the cage with red bamboo. I have been talking about the true local culture of Taiwan is Han culture. why? It is exactly the same as what Confucius said. But with the different terms, because Taiwan has no 蒺藜, had to use red bamboo. Why is this last mode cancelled? The Japanese came, not allowed to have such a thing. Taiwan used to have prostitutes. Why didn’t there be a prostitute later? The Japanese are not allowed to have amids. In the end, the Taiwanese have come up with a way to become a child-daughter-in-laws. This is because the law and the whole political force have been involved. After you have to change this thing, you will use it to make it out. The cage was finally abolished and became the law. You as the boss is going to the Japanese police to report the case to the officer. They sent people to arrest him and call him for detention. The whole change, the purpose of the kind of red bamboo that the old Confucius left in Taiwan said is for what? I am afraid that the thief will sneak into the house. The time of Confucius was used. Trapped in stone, piled stone up, stuffed people inside. Sun Wukong will be stuffed in the stone, from this sentence, in the novel, Sun Wukong is trapped in stone like this.
入於其宮，不見其妻，凶
You are caught and shut down. There are two modes, one in the stone, put it inside of the cave, and one inside the bamboo cage. would not be able going home to see my wife, why is it fierce? ran away. So what did Confucius say? Such a simple person's behavior, Confucius only said this sentence, his students may have been busy all day.
子曰:非所困而困焉，名必辱
It’s not that you are trapped. He is shut down. Confucius’s idea of politics is not that this person is not good, but is shut down, but design is to lock him up. This is insulted, you are not guilty! This is an insult.
非所據而據焉，身必危.
When you are framed, you don’t have a very big foundation. You must be in bad.
既辱且危，死期將至I
nsulted and dangerous, the death period is coming,
No one who had escaped during the Cultural Revolution had been assisted, and probably died without a place of burial. However, those who are strong are not afraid. Deng Xiaoping is not able to fight. He runs but harm his son and daughter, fights until his son to jump off the building and break his hand. When Deng Xiaoping got up, his son was disabled in China. The chairman of the society.
妻其可得見耶 Wife can see you?
How can he see his wife? can not see. Because if you are coming to the end, how can you see your wife. Wife must run away.
I often tell people that human beings live a rule, how do you lay the foundation for you. Confucius saw this thing. See this unclear thing. Why did his students sort out these all the time, his highest level of humanism, and later people sorted it out, called the gift of the article “Li Yun Datong” .
易曰:公用射隼于高墉之上，獲之，无不利
墉 are generally man-made, a mound. It is made of earth like a target. To get a lot of things, have their use, I made sorghum things, the big barrel bird used to go up, you shoot this 隼 can shoot it, or get something, in an induced way, with a bait, there may be a weasel or wild boar, or something, when it will run to a high place, you have to shoot it.
子曰:隼者，禽也.
隼, specializing in shooting big birds,
弓矢者，器也。射之者，人也。君子藏器於身
It is the arrow. The gentleman here is not deceiving us. It is specifically deceiving others. Because it can be supplied to people by natural objects and natural things. In the days of Confucius, it was called a gentleman. He took his instruments and captured natural things. To feed a lot of people, this is also a gentleman.
待時而動，何不利之有.
Because in the Zhou Dynasty, there was very little farming, and farming was a little bit in the small village. This village has a village owner. Those they lead are long-term workers who are illiterate. The class assigned in the future will be married with long-term workers. Giving birth is a heritage of slaves. There are no records in Zhouyi that are called inferior, minions, and servants.
動而不括，是以出而有獲If you don’t do it, you’ll get it,
Can get something.
語成器而動者也.
This is the mode of expression expressed by Confucius. The gentleman here is supposed to be like this. With my own instruments, I have the ability to capture these things, to contribute to the people who need to eat, these are gentlemen.
