Today's hexagram:Zerei followed（䷐）

The Book of ChangesseventeenHexagram: When there is thunder in the marsh, it moves in response.

Hexagram revelation:Thunder hides under the marsh, and the vibration triggers the flow of marsh water, symbolizing that all things move with the times. Ze is gentle and tolerant of Lei's strength, Lei inspires Ze's vitality through action, symbolizingThe wisdom of 'moving and pleasing' - actions need to be lightning fast, and mentality needs to be gentle like a marsh. True obedience is not blind obedience, but walking the path of softness with a strong posture, seizing the initiative in change, neither stubbornly resisting nor following the trend. In modern life, whether it is dealing with workplace challenges, managing interpersonal relationships, or pursuing personal growth, it is necessary to strike a balance between "flexibility" and "integrity" - being smooth on the outside and smooth on the inside, following the trend, in order to be invincible.

Chatting about the transformation to the end, Le Fu's destiny is met with renewed skepticism.
