Hexagram revelation: The upper hexagram represents water, symbolizing the flow of danger and danger; The hexagram 'Kun' represents the earth, symbolizing softness and tolerance. Water relies on the earth to store and flow, while the earth relies on water to nourish and nourish vitality. The two are interdependent and closely related. Comparing divination《Xu Gua》Speak upThere will be comparisons among people, so they will be compared to each other. "This means that after everyone gathers, they will inevitably need to be close and dependent on each other. But the essence of attachment is a two-way pursuit based on the right path, rather than blind attachment or passive waiting. The principle of attachment is not a utilitarian compromise, but a spiritual resonance based on morality and righteousness. In addition, Bi Gua not only advocates "attachment to others", but also emphasizes the value of being attached. If you want to become a trusted partner of others, you need to first cultivate your own moral character - stick to the right path, maintain sincerity, and make yourself a "worthy attachment" object, which is the foundation of long-term development.

Virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors.——The Analects of Confucius·Liren
