Monday, February 16th, 2026, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Today is New Year's Eve

《Yuan Day "

Song·Wang Anshi

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the year has passed, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tu Su.

Every day, thousands of households exchange their new peaches for old talismans.

New Year's Eve is the final chapter of the end of the year and the prelude to reunion. On this day, the old year passed away. People sweep the dust and bathe, decorate with lights and decorations, and use a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner to unite family, staying up all night to look forward to the New Year. When the midnight bell and firecrackers ring, the wind and frost of the past year bid farewell. With warmth and blessings, we welcome the spring of renewal together.

Today's hexagram:Leishan Xiaoguo (䷽)

The Book of Changessixty-twoThe hexagram states that there is a tremor (thunder) in the upper part and a Gen (mountain) in the lower part. Thunder comes out of the mountain, and there is a degree of moderation when it is small.

Hexagram revelation:'Minor negligence' refers to 'minor oversights, minor mistakes'. The thunder echoes over the mountaintop, and although the momentum is prominent, it is not grand enough. It implies that there can be some flexibility and transcendence in trivial matters, but we must adhere to the middle way and be cautious in fundamental principles and major matters. Act without greed or recklessness, without harsh criticism or mistakes, face up to minor mistakes, make timely corrections, and steadily move forward while moderately breaking through and adhering to the bottom line.

Be generous in making changes and readily accept good advice.
