    Hexagram interpretation:<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    The so-called \"Da Guo\" (\u5927\u904e) means too big and excessive. From the perspective of the I Ching (\u6613\u5360), \"yang\" (\u967d) represents \"big,\" and \"yin\" (\u9670) represents \"small.\" Looking at the\u5366\u5f62 (gua xing - hexagram shape), this hexagram contains four \"yang\" and two \"yin.\" Therefore, in comparison, it appears excessively large, which is the meaning of \"Da Guo.\" Simultaneously, the upper trigram, \"Dui\" (\u514c), represents a \"pond or marsh,\" and the lower trigram, \"Xun\" (\u5dfd), represents \"trees.\" A pond or marsh is a place where water is stored. Normally, moisturizing trees with water would be mutually beneficial. However, in this hexagram, there is too much water, to the point that it completely submerges the trees. Not only is the benefit of nourishment lost, but it even puts the trees to death. This is the meaning of \"Da Guo,\" hence the name \"Da Guo Hexagram.\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Interpretation of fortune stick person<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Liang Hongyu (1102-1135) was a female anti-Jin hero of China's Song Dynasty and the concubine of Han Shizhong. Her name does not appear in historical records, where she is only referred to as Madam Liang. Various unofficial histories and storytellers refer to her by the name \"Hongyu.\" She first appeared in the Ming Dynasty play *Shuang Lie Ji* written by Zhang Siwei, which states: \"This servant woman is Madam Liang, whose given name is Hongyu.\" Madam Liang's ancestral home was Chizhou. She was born in 1102 in Huaian (present-day Chuzhou District, Huaian City, Jiangsu Province) into a family of military households.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Fortune telling by lot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    The Jin army invades from the north, and the Song Dynasty is in a state of peaceful separation. Liang Hongyu leads the army to resist the enemy, achieving remarkable victories. Emperor Gaozong bestows upon Liang Hongyu the title of Lady An Guo. In all matters, one should endure humiliation, and thus have fewer worries. When it comes to undertakings: Plan much, but act little according to one's heart. It is advisable to display your talents, and others will help you. Regarding fame and career: Success comes late, so work harder. For destiny: It will gradually improve within eight days, but beyond ten days, there will be danger. Regarding illness: The soul entering the tomb makes it difficult to save. There are no descendants in the divination, making the illness incurable, and the third [-] the soul:\u9149 (official ghost) is unfavorable for the illness. Regarding fortune: Heaven never closes all doors. Although the pressure is immense, hard work can still bring wealth.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Divination Meaning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    This hexagram is named \"Da Guo\" (\u5927\u904e), meaning \"Great Exceeding.\" It reveals the principle that when one side, dominated by the strong and masculine, becomes excessively powerful and the other side, the weak and feminine, becomes excessively feeble during the development of things, one must strive to adjust and achieve a balance between strength and weakness, and between the principal and the subordinate. The hexagram depicts a marsh (Dui, \u514c) above wind\/wood (Xun, \u5dfd), symbolizing water being too abundant and thus submerging the trees, unable to nourish them. This extends to the phenomenon of forcing things or going overboard in all matters. Furthermore, the entire hexagram, when analyzed closely, forms the image of a great Kan hexagram (\u574e), thus carrying the meaning of floods and inundation. The hexagram has four yang lines and two yin lines at the top and bottom, indicating that the yang lines are twice as numerous as the yin lines. The two yin lines at the beginning and top cannot adequately envelop and protect the four yang lines in the middle, much like paper struggling to contain fire, suggesting that a situation is on the verge of being exposed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":7227,"menu_order":28,"template":"","class_list":["post-7226","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\/7226","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\/7227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
