    Hexagram interpretation:<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \"Xian\" and \"Gan\" are synonymous. It means that things are relative to each other, the mind is touched by a response, and eventually they merge into one. All things in heaven and earth have this mutual sensing and resonance. Among them, sexual desire between men and women is the most prominent. Their sensing is the most sensitive and incomparably strong. Look at the hexagram structure: The Zhen trigram (lower trigram) represents the young boy; the Dui trigram (upper trigram) represents the young girl. The young boy is below the young girl, and they sense each other. At the same time, the \"Dui trigram\" represents \"joy\"; the \"Zhen trigram\" represents \"stopping.\" Therefore, the entire symbolic meaning is \"stopping contentedly after obtaining joy.\" When good and righteous beings sense each other, it is auspicious; when evil and unrighteous beings corrupt each other, it is inauspicious. This is the common principle of reason. This hexagram implies that good results are obtained from sensing the righteous path.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Interpretation of fortune stick person<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Chen Sanmei was a *Zhuangyuan* (top scholar in the imperial examination) during the Wanli reign of the Southern Song Dynasty. He is a character in the novel \"Hai Gong An\" and there is no factual record of his life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Annotation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Willingly risk danger ahead: Willingly risk life and unknown variables, leading the charge as the vanguard. Investigate if villains are committing evil deeds: Go to the scene to investigate whether villains are acting illegally. From then on, ten crimes will be presented on the golden steps: From then on, ten crimes of villains will be presented in the imperial court. Purge the government and lay down grand principles: Remove corrupt officials, purge unreasonable government affairs, and lay down great principles for the court.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Vernacular<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Chen Sanmei, willingly risking dangers and unknown variables, bravely led the charge as the vanguard, venturing deep into Zhang Juzheng's hometown to conduct an on-site investigation for hidden treasures by the treacherous official. Chen Sanmei uncovered evidence of Zhang Juzheng's embezzlement of tribute items, along with ten major crimes including selling offices for bribes, colluding with bandits, and plotting rebellion. This paved the way for Emperor Wanli to eliminate corrupt officials, purge unreasonable court politics, and establish a great dynasty.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Fortune telling by lot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Chen Sanmei, unafraid of danger, went deep into Zhang Juzheng's hometown to investigate evidence in person. Zhang Juzheng sent people to intercept him at the river and recover the treasures. Chen Sanmei narrowly escaped death. The second time he searched the Treasure Gathering Building, he succeeded. Therefore, this lot indicates that the first attempt will surely fail, but the second attempt will be a reversal of success. This lot signifies that it is better to remain still than to act. Therefore, inquiries about traveling or moving are both unfavorable. For wealth: there is some, with better prospects in the latter half of the year. For the month: August and September will be peaceful. For marriage: drawing this lot on a\u9149 (You) or \u620c (Xu) day is good; other days are average. For illness: after autumn, there will be no fear; with the flow of energy between mountains and water, health will be restored. For arrivals: the person will arrive on a \u620c (Xu) day. This lot advises the person concerned that solving problems depends on oneself, and seeking help from gods or fortune-telling will not resolve them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Divination Meaning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    The name of this hexagram is \"Xian,\" which means mutual interaction. It reveals the differing situations, rights and wrongs, gains and losses of mutual interaction between men and women, as well as the principle that interaction should be based on purity and correctness. It also extends to the idea that heaven and earth interact for the creation of all things, and that when the sage interacts with the hearts of the people, peace prevails throughout the land, thus expanding the principle of interaction into the realms of nature and society. Xian represents interaction and emotion, as well as the mutual interaction and emotional resonance between men and women, like young boys and girls with innocent and pure feelings for each other. Interaction can also be extended to the recognition and appreciation of ideals. Dui represents the young woman, and Gen represents the young man. Young men and young women interact with each other, generating pure emotions devoid of personal gain or loss. Furthermore, Dui represents joy, and Gen represents stopping. This implies a state of contentment and rest after obtaining joy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":7238,"menu_order":31,"template":"","class_list":["post-7237","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\/7237","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\/7238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.wp-mak.ing\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
