Today's hexagram:Converted into Ze (䷹)

The Book of ChangesIn the 58th hexagram, the upper part is mixed with the lower part, and the two parts are connected, enjoying each other.

The hexagram revelation: "Dui" means "Yue", which originally means harmony, joy, understanding, and closeness. It is the only hexagram in the Book of Changes that specifically explains the "way of joy". Ze Shui nourishes all things with its warm and moist nature. When two Ze Shui blend together, the water becomes even more moist and the joy becomes stronger. This not only embodies the way of coexistence of "harmony in diversity", but also contains the principle of "sincerity and restraint" in behavior. Not only does it reveal the rules for obtaining pleasure and harmonious interpersonal relationships, but it also points to the character and wisdom behind "joy" - integrity, honesty, and perseverance. Whether it's verbal communication or emotional connection, only sincerity from the heart can nourish each other like two streams, create lasting beauty.

And its lightSame as its dust, it is called Xuantong.
