Today's hexagram:Shan Lei Yi（䷚）

The Book of Changestwenty-sevenThe hexagram states that there is a tremor (thunder) at the foot of the mountain, and thunder moves at the foot of the mountain, giving birth to all things in spring.

Hexagram revelation:Thunder moves in the mountains, and spring thunder awakens all things, symbolizing nourishment obtained through one's own efforts and the combination of natural laws. Gen is a mountain, symbolizing the cessation of desire for introspection; Shock is like thunder, symbolizing the accumulation of energy in action, and the fusion of movement and stillness contains hidden meaningsThe way of 'cultivating righteousness'.The wisdom of Yi Gua spans thousands of years and provides modern people with a good solution to cope with anxiety and imbalance: in material terms, return“self-reliance” Simplicity; Spiritually, uphold“Be cautious and restrained in speech and desires” Awakening; Practice in social relationships“Raising people and property” The responsibility. This is not only a reverence for individual life, but also a reverence for the way of coexistence between heaven and earth.

It starts from Fengtai in Beijing and ends at Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province, with a total length of about201 Kilometers. Zhan Tianyou is an expert in modern railway engineering in China, the first chief railway engineer in China, and is known as the "father of Chinese railways" and "father of modern engineering in China".At that time, major powers were competing for the right to construct railways in China, and the Qing court decided to independently build the Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway to protect the railway rights. The railway passes through the Yanshan Mountains, and the terrain in the Badaling area is steep and the slope is extremely steep. Zhan Tianyou innovatively designed it
