Today's hexagram:Huo Ze Qing（䷥）

The Book of ChangesNo.thirty-eightThe hexagram states that the upper part is separated from the fire and the lower part is mixed with the marsh. The fire is on the marsh, and they coexist.

Hexagram revelation:The original meaning of the word 'zhuan' is' eyes do not hear each other ', which means that the two eyes do not see things in harmony, and is extended to opposition, deviation, and difference. From the perspective of natural phenomena, flames burn upwards and water infiltrates downwards, with the direction and nature of their movement being completely opposite, forming the core image of "Qing" - the objective existence of contradictions and differences. But the core issue of Zhugua is not to exaggerate contradictions, but to explore how to seek common ground while reserving differences. The forms of heaven and earth are separated, but together they form and nurture. Men and women have different constitutions, but their hearts are connected. All things have different forms, but follow the same laws. Contradictions and differences are not obstacles, but rather the driving force behind the development of things and the emergence of new harmony.

There is no age or age in life, why should we first align our hearts?

——Du Fu's "Walking Home"
