In this hexagram, the upper trigram \"Kan\" represents water. The lower trigram \"Kun\" represents earth. Combining these two, it means: covering the ground with water, the water will inevitably seep into the soil, becoming close and integrated as one. Furthermore, the five \"yang\" lines are in positions of nobility, closely interacting with the other five \"yin\" lines, becoming united. This signifies the Son of Heaven loving and embracing the common people, and the common people believing in and supporting the Son of Heaven, which is an auspicious omen. Therefore, this hexagram is named \"Bi Hexagram\" based on its symbolic meaning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-row-column gspb_row__col--6 gspb_col-id-gsbp-f13736b\" id=\"gspb_col-id-gsbp-f13736b\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-a107214\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-a107214\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-1bfb284\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-1bfb284\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-5fac624\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-5fac624\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/scimgUodmGL.webp\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"\u7b2c\u516b\u9996\u6b63\u9762\uff08\u6bd4\uff09\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"898\" height=\"1488\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gspb_text-id-gsbp-b192edb\" class=\"gspb_text gspb_text-id-gsbp-b192edb\">Front of the fortune slip<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-3058279\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-3058279\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-962c810\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-962c810\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/scimgSujTpe.webp\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"\u7b2c\u516b\u9996\u80cc\u9762\uff08\u6bd4\uff09\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"898\" height=\"1488\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gspb_text-id-gsbp-174af86\" class=\"gspb_text gspb_text-id-gsbp-174af86\">Back of the fortune slip<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-6a4cab3\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-6a4cab3\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-67c4481\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-67c4481\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-ef6607c\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-ef6607c\">\n<h5 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-90d8c7b\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-90d8c7b\">\u91d1<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-b39d3cc\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-b39d3cc\">\n<h5 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-ab59b2e\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-ab59b2e\">\u74b0<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-40a195a\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-40a195a\">\n<h5 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-d2e7836\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-d2e7836\">\u8a9e<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-4e7d4dd\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-4e7d4dd\">\n<h5 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-b8e2c87\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-b8e2c87\">\u9304<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-6b88cf6\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-6b88cf6\">\n<h4 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-1d4ef6f\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-1d4ef6f\">Maintain a little distance to see each other's beauty.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-row gspb_row gspb_row-id-gsbp-7631377\" id=\"gspb_row-id-gsbp-7631377\"><div class=\"gspb_row__content\"> \n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-row-column gspb_row__col--12 gspb_col-id-gsbp-e3e02db\" id=\"gspb_col-id-gsbp-e3e02db\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-bd1ac4d\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-bd1ac4d\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-6b36740\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-6b36740\">\n<h4 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-f70d3bd\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-f70d3bd\">Interpretation of fortune stick person<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-container gspb_container gspb_container-gsbp-f333ce2\" id=\"gspb_container-id-gsbp-f333ce2\">\n<div id=\"gspb_text-id-gsbp-4109133\" class=\"gspb_text gspb_text-id-gsbp-4109133\">Wang Yun (137-192), courtesy name Zishi, was from Qi, Taiyuan, Bing Province (present-day Qi County, Shanxi).

At that time, the emperor was merely a puppet, and Dong Zhuo held great power. Wang Yun successfully planned and executed the assassination of Dong Zhuo.

However, swiftness and proactivity are valued above all else. Those who act quickly will seize the initiative, while delays and procrastination will be very disadvantageous.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":6888,"menu_order":8,"template":"","class_list":["post-6887","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\/6887","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:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
