[Xiang says]: God gives a poor man a envelope of gold, and they share it equally without fighting or arguing. After both of them get the gold, all their wishes come true. This hexagram is composed of two different hexagrams (Gen on the bottom and Kun on the top). Gen represents mountain and Kun represents earth. There are mountains on the ground. The ground is low while the mountains are high, which means the inside is high and the outside is low. It is a metaphor for not being complacent about one's achievements, not praising one's fame, and not being arrogant because of one's high position. This is humility.[Career]: You have not yet been valued by others, but because of your noble character, you will eventually be discovered.

[Going out]: It will be smooth, but you should be well prepared and be careful on the way. You can gradually ignore safety. [Marriage and Love]: A happy marriage should be strived for by both parties. Otherwise, love will not be successful and the family will not be harmonious. [Decision-making]: Possessing the virtue of modesty, being high inside and low outside, he is good at uniting others and can get help from others. His career will be smooth and he will be able to overcome difficulties quickly without any danger. Because you can seriously learn from the strengths of others, you will make rapid progress and will have a smooth journey, but you need to pay special attention to your studies, moral conduct, and self-cultivation. Funeral taboos:1. Avoid holding funerals on double-year dates. Even days are a bad omen, as people believe that a funeral held on an even day means two deaths. Therefore, funerals must be held on odd days and not on even days.2. Avoid holding funerals at noon. This taboo custom exists in the Li ethnic group area. If someone dies in a Li family, they are usually buried in the afternoon after dying in the morning, or the next day after dying in the afternoon. The body is kept at home for a very short time, but it is taboo to hold the funeral at noon. It is believed that violating taboos will bring disaster. 3. Avoid shedding tears on the corpse. There is a saying circulating in some areas that if someone in the family dies, one should avoid crying when dressing the deceased to avoid spilling tears on the corpse. It is believed that something will happen and the dead will be awakened. 4. Avoid letting the coffin go out through the door. There is a saying that the Manchus have taboo customs. It is believed that doors are places for people to enter and exit, and it is taboo for the deceased to walk sideways, otherwise it is considered unlucky, so there is a custom of taking out the coffin through the window. 5. Cats are not allowed to appear in front of the coffin. Before the funeral, the body is kept at the wake and cats are not allowed to approach. It is believed that if a cat touches or jumps over the body, it will be as if the deceased suddenly stands up, which means harm to the family. 6. Avoid getting a haircut. If someone dies in the family, family members or men are not allowed to have their hair cut or shave for one month. When an elder passes away, it is usually the younger generation who observe the custom of keeping hair, believing that hair is inherited from parents and that when a loved one passes away, keeping hair is a way to express grief, filial piety and longing. Some areas also believe that getting a haircut is a way to change one's appearance so that the dead cannot recognize them and avoid disasters. There is also another saying that a baby can only have his hair cut 100 days after birth, otherwise the baby may die. 7. No fun is allowed on the anniversary of the death. On the day of a relative's death, it is taboo to do auspicious things, such as drinking and having fun. Needless to say, doing joyful things on the day of the death of a person is considered disrespectful. On the "taboo day" which is also called "taboo food day", the ancients said: "The Book of Rites - Tan Gong Shang" says: "A gentleman has lifelong worries but no one-day troubles, so he should not be happy on the taboo day." This is what everyone follows. |
