Today's hexagram:Dize Lin（䷒）

The Book of ChangesThenineteenGua, up Kun (earth) and down Dui (Ze), the earth covers the Ze and up, overlooking the harmony from a high vantage point.

Hexagram revelation:'Lin' means to visit, supervise, get close to, and govern. It is a hexagram in the Book of Changes that specifically explains the "way of getting along, the wisdom of governance, and the method of growth". The earth carries clear waters, but does not rely on strength, clear waters nourish the earth, and follow the trend without being submissive. The two depend on each other, combining strength and softness, forming a harmonious pattern of "integration of the upper and lower levels, closeness and moderation, and effective governance". Only by being virtuous, nurturing, and moderate can one be free from blame for a long time. This is the core meaning of the Linggua.

Living loudly from afar, not by the autumn wind.
