Zhou Yi—book of change explanations (92)
易曰is a very important philosophy. The important way is to re-explain it by Confucius, so it is good just to understand what Confucius said.
子曰:危者，安其位者也。亡者，保其存者也。亂者，有其治者也。
Why is he talking about chaos? It is your governance problem, why are you dying? Why are you at risk of your preservation? The problem of your restlessness,易, his problem.
是故君子安而不忘危 It is the gentleman who does not forget the danger,
Just talk about the previous question,
存而不忘亡，治而不忘亂，是以身安而國家可保也.
The country that Confucius said at the time was not the world. It was the same for everything. Many people wanted you to think and worry about the world. This world is unified, including different races, this is called the world. The country is that area, or your big joint ethnic group, this is not the same, our entire operation, you are the emperor, you have to rule the world, rule the world is every family, every tribe, it is his . Like Zhou Dynasty, Zhou‘s world, up to 257 countries, in fact, one tribe after anther tribe. What Confucius said, at that time, if a country had more than 100,000 people, it would be incredible.
易曰:其亡!其亡，繫于苞桑Yi Yi: Its death! Its death, tied to the food and clothing of life.
There are many explanations for 苞桑, because a race or a country will die r not. It is very important thing is about food to eat. Everyone needs to know that in the 39 years of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek came to Taiwan to open a summit meeting in Caoshan. He said that the entire bankruptcy of our economy is tantamount to a country of death. So to understand that 苞桑are able to eat, there is something to eat, this mulberry includes warmth of clothing.
Because in the past, why do many historical records have to remember the ancestors, etc., because they must use mulberry to raise silkworms, you can textile this thing, textile the most beautiful things, and have tributes to your leaders. Gong is to give very good things fair yours, to give your leader, let the leader protect you, 桑Sang represents this.
