Today's hexagram:Tianze Lu（䷉）

The Book of ChangesthetenHexagrams, with the upper Qian (heaven) and lower Dui (Ze), the heavens revere Ze Bei, and walk according to rituals.

Hexagram revelation:The original meaning of the word "shoe" is shoes, which can be extended to practice and put into practiceThe Book of ChangesThe central theme of the hexagram is to follow the ritual and be cautious in avoiding disasters, as the word 'li' in this work has a similar sound and meaning. The hexagram "Heaven above and Earth below the Ze" symbolizes strength, majesty, and order of hierarchy, while the "Ze below" represents softness, joy, compliance, and humble practice. The two are clearly defined in their respective positions, which is the core logic of "standing with ceremony and acting with caution". Qian represents the strong and healthy nature of the Yang hexagram, while Yin represents the gentle and pleasant nature of the Yin hexagram. Yin and Yang complement each other, and strength and softness complement each other. This implies that practicing the right path requires a firm will and a humble attitude in order to move forward peacefully in complex situations.

If one remains cautious throughout, there will be no failures.
