Today's hexagram:Xun is the wind（䷫）

The Book of Changesfifty-sevenThe hexagram states that the upper and lower winds follow each other, penetrating every inch.

The hexagram reveals that the wind has the virtue of infiltration. When encountering gaps, it enters; when encountering obstacles, it winds around. It symbolizes the wisdom of obedience, infiltration, and softness in dealing with the world, highlighting the importance of harmony, infiltration, and softnessThe dual power of 'entering' and 'following'.The Xun TrigramIt implies that things need to follow laws and adapt flexibly, and also metaphorically represents the wisdom of infiltrating influence with a humble attitude and achieving goals in a flexible way. Inspiration for us: In complex environments, we can adapt to changes by adjusting our own posture, while adhering to the core principle that although the wind is amorphous, it has a fixed flow direction; Although people need to follow the trend, they must not lose their original intention. This kind of "soft on the outside and strong on the inside" wisdom is an important support for individuals to establish themselves in society, teams to achieve cooperation, and society to achieve harmony.

Shed the autumn leaves and bloom the February flowers.

Crossing the river with thousands of feet of waves, entering the bamboo with thousands of slanting poles.
