    Hexagram interpretation:<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \"Qian\" means \"heaven.\" All six lines of this hexagram\u2014from the first to the highest\u2014are \"yang.\" With no \"yin\" present and filled with yang energy, this is what is called a \"heavenly phenomenon.\" From the formation of the universe to this day, \"heaven\" has continuously revolved and undergone infinite changes. Therefore, ancient sages began the *I Ching* with the explanation of the Qian hexagram in its very first chapter. Furthermore, \"man\" is compared to \"heaven,\" teaching people to be diligent day and night, as tireless as the movement of \"heaven.\" The true purpose of divination is to explain the principles between heaven and earth and apply them to the teaching of human conduct. Thus, the *I Ching* first arranges the \"Qian hexagram\" and then explains the earthly principle of the \"Kun hexagram.\" Only then are the fundamental natures of heaven and earth explained, serving as the fundamental framework for human conduct. All things in heaven and earth grow by receiving the \"primordial energy\" of heaven as their driving force. With the exchange and smooth flow of \"primordial energy,\" all things can obtain vibrant vitality. Therefore, the Qian hexagram represents vigorous and thriving movement.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Interpretation of fortune stick person<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Han Xin, a native of Huaiyin, was a military strategist and a renowned general in the founding of the Western Han Dynasty. He was one of the \"Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty\" and left behind many famous battles and strategies. Han Xin made great contributions to the Han Dynasty and held various titles such as King of Qi, King of Chu, and Marquis of Huaiyin. However, his military prowess also aroused suspicion. After Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, defeated his main rival Xiang Yu, Han Xin's power was repeatedly weakened. Eventually, Han Xin was accused of rebellion and was lured into the palace by Empress L\u00fc (also known as Queen L\u00fc) and Xiao He, where he was executed in the bell tower of Changle Palace.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Annotation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Green moss has long clung to the walls of Luocheng: Green moss has grown on the walls of Luocheng due to dampness and cold (symbolizing Han Xin's humble origins). Green Ping: A famous ancient sword (symbolizing Han Xin being buried outside Luocheng). To cut down evil and eliminate traitors, awaiting the lord's arrival: To eliminate the wicked; to eradicate traitors. Awaiting the lord's arrival, he is waiting for his lord to employ him. Sighing for days of peace with nothing to do: Sighing, meaning to lament. Days of not doing anything, doing nothing each day. Cooking dogs in Hanzhong and burying them again: The Battle of Hanzhong was a war between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, two warlords, for Hanzhong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It lasted for two years, and finally, Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong and proclaimed himself King of Hanzhong in the autumn. Cooking dogs, meaning cooking hunting dogs. \"The Biographies of Marquis of Huaiyin\": \"When the cunning rabbits are dead, the good hunting dogs are cooked; when the high birds are gone, the good bows are stored.\" (symbolizing Han Xin's fate).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Vernacular<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Han Xin came from humble beginnings but possessed extraordinary talent. He was overlooked outside Luocheng, patiently waiting for a master to recognize his abilities. During the Chu-Han contention, amidst a prosperous and carefree era for the people, King Liu Bang of Han grew suspicious and executed Han Xin at the bell tower of Changle Palace.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Fortune telling by lot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Han Xin was unconcerned with petty matters and possessed the demeanor of a great general. He never forgot kindness and his righteousness reached the heavens. Loyal to the King of Han, he never rebelled, proving himself a general with unwavering loyalty and courage. After the Chu-Han Contention, Han Xin's prestige was immense and his achievements were at their peak. He should have been mindful of danger when in a high position, and known when to advance and when to retreat, ending things on a high note. The saying \"eating vegetables in a vegetable patch leads to a vegetable death\" best describes Han Xin. (He owed his success to Xiao He, and his failure to Xiao He too.) Spring and winter were unfavorable, while summer and autumn were auspicious, like a dragon soaring in the sky. This hexagram has reached its extreme, and one must be aware of the subsequent decline.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Divination Meaning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    The Qian hexagram, the first of the sixty-four hexagrams in the *I Ching*, uses the heavens as its image and dragons in its descriptions of the lines, revealing that yang, the masculine principle, is the root of all things in the universe. At the same time, it encourages people to emulate the unyielding spirit of the heavens, to constantly strive for self-improvement, and to move forward with vigor.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":6039,"menu_order":1,"template":"","class_list":["post-6727","fortune-sticks","type-fortune-sticks","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fortune-sticks\/6727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fortune-sticks"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fortune-sticks"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
