观察人世，分析事情不成熟，不全面。如果是小孩子、年轻人，不是大问题，没有过错。可以继续成长、学习。 成年人观察、分析事情，待人接物，如果仍然浅薄、幼稚，那么很不好，会造成严重后果。 不了解人世规则，观察事物不全面、不透彻，处理人际关系，浅薄而幼稚，是小人的见地、观点，和做法，会妨碍事业发展。
喜欢窥探别人的隐私，没有见识和主见，和古代没有受过教育、没见过世面的女人一样，是一件让人感觉羞耻之事！
仔细分析、观察、思量自己，或者别人的人生际遇，通过已经发生的事情，来权衡利益得失，以期在将来发生的事情中采取更理性、更正确的措施。 通过观察，而知进退，这是正确的人生修行方式。
通过观察、分析更广大的局面来修行：观国之光。 如果有机会看到并参与更宏观、更全面的事业，比如成为国家的高级领导，为国、为王分忧，是大好事！尚宾也：王座之宾，国家智囊！ 有机会干大事，有利于塑造自己宏观、开阔、智慧的视野！
重新分析自己的思想、心地。 通过观察自己的人生，打磨自己的见地，不局限于个人得失，而注重于人世因果法则。 自己就是别人，别人就是自己。达到人我一如的境界！ 人生高下，在于见地！ 见地在于观。 观！观自在是也！
观察人世，反思自我。 君子努力修行，勇猛进取。没有过错。 君子心存远大抱负，只要心存正念、正见，坚持修行，吉祥！
Observing the world and analyzing things is immature and incomplete. If it is a child or young person, it is not a big problem and there is no fault. You can continue to grow and learn. When adults observe, analyze things, and treat others, if they are still superficial and naive, then it is very bad and will cause serious consequences. Not understanding the rules of the world, not observing things comprehensively and thoroughly, and dealing with interpersonal relationships in a shallow and naive manner are the views, opinions, and practices of a villain, which will hinder career development.
People who like to pry into other people's privacy and have no knowledge or opinions are just like the uneducated and unseen women in ancient times. This is a shameful thing!
Carefully analyze, observe, and think about your own or other people's life experiences, and weigh the benefits and losses based on what has happened, in order to take more rational and correct measures in what will happen in the future. Knowing how to advance and retreat through observation is the correct way to practice life.
Practice by observing and analyzing the larger situation: observing the light of the country. If you have the opportunity to see and participate in a larger and more comprehensive undertaking, such as becoming a senior leader of the country and sharing the worries of the country and the king, it is a great thing! Shang Binye: Guest of the throne, national think tank! Having the opportunity to do big things will help shape your macro, broad, and wise vision!
Reanalyze your own thoughts and feelings. By observing one's own life, one can hone one's own views, not limited to personal gains and losses, but focusing on the laws of cause and effect in the world. You are others, and others are yourself. Reach the state where everyone and I are the same! The difference in life lies in the perspective! Insight lies in observation. Watch! It’s true to observe freedom!
Observe the world and reflect on yourself. A gentleman practices diligently and forges ahead bravely. No fault. A gentleman has great ambitions. As long as he has right thoughts and views and persists in practice, he will be blessed!

《易经》中的观卦（风地观），上卦为巽（风），下卦为坤（地），象征观察、觉察、感应、修德、观心。其核心智慧强调从容而入、静观而行、因时而化、由内及外，对于身体健康、日常保养、心理调适、精力养护具有极高的指导价值。 一、卦象解析与健康哲理 卦象：风地观 上卦为巽（风）：象征风行、通达、渗透、柔顺，类似气的运行、思想的传播、呼吸与气血。 下卦为坤（地）：象征厚载、顺从、承受、滋养，类似大地承载生命，亦象征身体基础。 《象传》曰：“观，盥而不荐，有孚颙若。”强调观之以诚、敬之以德、行之以正。 由此观之，观卦之于健康之道，是一种由内而外、静中察动、尊重自然节律的养生观照之法。 二、观卦对身体健康的核心启示 1. 静观内察：先察己身，再图调理 “大观在上，顺而丽乎大明。” 观卦教人不急不躁、审时度势、因病察源、因人施养。 实践建议： 定期体察身体信号：如舌苔、脉搏、气色、排便、情绪起伏等微小变化。 建立健康日志：每日记录作息、饮食、情绪、身体反应，有助于掌握健康周期。 重视“未病先防”与“治未病”的中医理念：小病防之，大病免之。 2. 以风养气：调畅气机、通则不痛 巽为风，亦可象征气的运行。中医云：“气行则血行，气滞则百病生。”观卦中的“风地”结构正体现气行于身、周流不息的重要性。 实践建议： 早晚行气练功，如八段锦、气功、呼吸冥想等。 饮食宜清淡、易化：避免湿滞、辛辣厚味，以助气机流畅。 通过艾灸、刮痧、推拿等温通之法，助风行气达，缓解瘀阻。 三、观卦对医疗保养策略的启发 1. 顺势而养：重节气之序，顺四时调摄 坤为地，为四时，观卦整体象征顺应天地自然、尊重节律之道。在医疗养生上，这启示我们要遵循自然时令，调养身心。 春生：养肝、养阳（早睡早起，舒肝解郁） 夏长：养心、养神（少怒多静，清心寡欲） 秋收：养肺、养收（早睡早起，润肺防燥） 冬藏：养肾、养精（早卧晚起，避寒就温） 观卦的“风行地上”，也意味着风为春气，春养生尤重“动而不妄，养肝疏气”。 2. 重视仪式与敬意：医疗不止于技，更在人心 “盥而不荐，有孚颙若”，意即洗净双手却不敢轻举妄动，是一种对天地、对生命、对身体的敬畏态度。在医疗养护中，观卦提醒我们： 敬畏身体的神圣：不乱用药，不妄诊治，信任身体的自我恢复机制。 重视医患之间的“诚”与“敬”：医者仁心，病者信任，医道才能圆融。 修炼自我医者之道：养生者自身要心诚意正，方能“观其微、知其道”。 四、观卦对心理调养与精神状态的启发 1. 静心观照：内观情志，调心安神 观卦强调“观”，观人、观己、观天命。在心理养生中，是内观自省、调畅情志的最佳象征。 心病多因情志——忧思、愤怒、焦虑。若能常常“观心”，便可渐趋安宁。 实践建议： 每日静坐或冥想5~10分钟，体察自己的情绪起伏。 运用“正念疗法”：当下觉知，减少对过去和未来的执着。 多读《易经》《老子》《庄子》等经典，提升精神格局，通达心胸。 2. 以“柔顺”养心性，以“观察”化执著 巽为风，有入无迹，为“柔”；坤为地，为顺。观卦劝人“柔顺中正”，不固执己见、不急于求成。 许多现代人的健康困境源于“急躁、压力、强控制”。观卦反而启发我们退一步、柔一点、慢一些，反得其圆满。 五、综合建议：以观之道，修身养命 层面 观卦智慧 养生应用 身体健康 风行地上、气机调畅 调气行血、顺节而动、勤察微变 日常养护 静观内省、因地制宜 记录体感、应时饮食、身心联动 精力充沛 顺势而动、柔而不争 稳中求进、不逞强、不过劳 长寿之道 厚德载物、明察守中 持之以恒、量力而行、行稳致远 心理调适 观己观人、明道明心 情绪觉察、正念思维、修德养心 精神进化 观天知命、礼敬天地 通天人之际，敬畏生命、和光同尘 结语：观者，观也；观心、观道、观天人之际 《易经》观卦，以“观”为道，重在观察、感知、觉醒、顺应，此乃最为深远的养生智慧： 观己知变，观身知病，观心知性，观道知生。 愿您以观卦之道，养精气神，调心身气，达长寿之境、安乐之心、明朗之神。

Hexagram 20 of the I Ching – Guan (Contemplation / Wind Over Earth) This hexagram holds profound significance in the context of family education and parent-child relationships. The name Guan (觀) implies observation, guidance, role modeling, reflection, and elevation. It teaches us that the essence of family education lies not in enforcement, but in setting an example, using virtue as a mirror, and guiding through conscious observation. I. Hexagram Structure and Core Wisdom Hexagram: Upper trigram Xun (Wind) ☴, Lower trigram Kun (Earth) ☷ → “Wind moves over the Earth”: The gentle wind moves across the earth, symbolizing the subtle yet deep influence of guidance and transformation. Judgment Text: “Guan: One washes their hands but does not yet offer the sacrifice; there is sincerity and reverence in appearance.” → This suggests inner purification, sincerity, reverence, and emphasizes self-reflection and moral influence. II. Five Core Principles of Guan in Family and Parenting Wisdom from Guan Application in Parenting Lead by Virtue Parents’ behavior is the child’s first “world” and “mirror” Gentle Education True teaching is subtle, not forceful or result-driven Observation Understanding the child’s nature allows tailored education Guide, Don’t Control Use empathy and modeling, not punishment and pressure Self-Cultivation The parent's growth is the deepest and most lasting influence III. Five Practical Strategies of Guan in Parenting 1. Parents’ Behavior Is the Child’s First "Image" to Observe Guan emphasizes “observing the people’s customs” — just as rulers guide the people, parents are the child's first “role models.” ✅ Actionable Advice: Replace lectures with daily behavior (e.g., keeping promises, frugality, respect for elders). During conflict, parents should “observe their own words and actions” to avoid negative modeling. Create meaningful rituals (e.g., shared meals, family meetings, storytime) to shape positive impressions. ✨ Children learn virtue silently through observing parents; parents transmit family values without a word. 2. Education Should Flow Like Wind Over the Earth: Gentle Yet Persistent Xun (Wind) over Kun (Earth)—gentle and nourishing, not hasty or forceful. ✅ Practical Approach: Establish consistency and long-term clarity: stable rules and clear expectations. Emphasize emotional nurturing over punishment: use encouragement, inspiration, dialogue. Gradually foster independence and responsibility, not command-style teaching. 🌿 Good education is like spring rain: quiet, nourishing, and lasting. 3. “Cleansing Before Offering” – Cultivating Inner Reverence and Self-Discipline The line “Washing but not yet offering” symbolizes purity of intent, self-discipline, and restraint. ✅ Educational Meaning: Teach children to reflect before they act. Encourage preparation, reverence, and moderation in their behavior. Help them form a value system behind actions: Why am I doing this? Who does it benefit? 4. “Viewing the Crowd” – Perspective Taking and Understanding Your Child’s World The Xiang Zhuan (Commentary on the Image) says: “The noble one reflects upon himself and observes the people to teach.” The same applies to parenting. ✅ Practical Suggestions: Talk with your child about their perspective: how they see the world and see you. When problems arise, observe their emotional state before correcting their behavior. Children are not just observed—they should also be participants and expressers. 🌀 Respect is the deepest education. Observation is the truest form of care. 5. “Viewing the Light of the Nation” – Culture and Spirit as the Family’s Foundation “Viewing the light of the nation” refers to observing rituals, virtues, and moral principles—the ultimate goal of education is to transmit culture, spirit, and beauty. ✅ How to Practice: Create a culturally rich family environment (reading, festivals, traditions). Encourage children to observe the world, learn history, and practice compassion. Help them build aesthetic sense, values, and moral perspective within the family setting. IV.

It is not about replacing the child’s experience but guiding it. The best way to teach is to become the person your child aspires to be.

Hexagram 20 of the I Ching – Guan (Contemplation / Wind over Earth) Guan (觀), with the upper trigram Xun (Wind) and the lower trigram Kun (Earth), symbolizes wind moving over the earth—observing all things, exercising stillness to master movement, and using virtue to manage finances. This hexagram centers on observation, not superficial watching but “observing the Way of Heaven to refine human affairs.” It implies timing, self-cultivation, clarity, and cautious advancement, offering profound guidance for household and corporate financial management and investment. I. Hexagram Symbolism & Core Financial Wisdom ✦ Judgment (Hexagram Text): “Guan: One washes but does not yet offer. There is sincerity and reverence.” “Washing” implies self-cleansing and preparation; “Not offering” indicates restraint and timing; “Sincerity and reverence” suggests a dignified, trustworthy attitude. This symbolizes that financial success lies not in rash actions, but in self-reflection, prudence, integrity, and deliberate decision-making. ✦ Image Commentary: “Wind moves over the Earth—Guan.

Applying Guan Strategies to Family & Business Finance 1️⃣ Family Finance: Based on Self-Observation & Trend Awareness ✅ Self-Reflection Before Action ("Washing"): Assess your household’s current financial state (net worth, debt, liquidity). Clarify family goals by stage: buying a home, education, retirement. Avoid herd mentality—don’t invest just because others are doing so. ✅ Pay Attention to Cycles & Trends: “Wind over Earth” reminds us of shifting cycles: during economic downturns, focus on stability. Watch macroeconomic policy signals: interest rates, housing regulations, retirement finance initiatives. ✅ Financial Education & Family Governance: Set a regular “family finance day” to review income/expenses. Teach children where money comes from and how to use it wisely. Emphasize collective decision-making over authoritarian control to build a stable financial culture. 2️⃣ Business Finance: Applying Observation of People and Trends ✅ Replace Impulsive Action with Observant Readiness: In uncertain markets, take time to observe, prepare, and accumulate strength. Develop mid-to-long-term financial strategies to buffer short-term fluctuations. ✅ Trend-Informed Investment Decisions: Before chasing the next big thing, observe deeply to avoid late or reactive moves. Set up a “strategic observation team” or a “trend research fund” for small-scale pilot investments. ✅ Build a Culture of Trust & Internal Controls: Financial operations should embody “sincerity and reverence”: with strict systems and transparent execution.

Hexagram Guan (Contemplation) in the I Ching — Wind over Earth In the I Ching, Hexagram 20 Guan (觀), "Contemplation," is formed by Xun (Wind) above and Kun (Earth) below. It symbolizes observation, awareness, resonance, virtue cultivation, and introspection. Its core wisdom emphasizes calm entry, silent observation, timely adaptation, and inside-out transformation, offering profound guidance for health, daily care, psychological balance, and energy conservation. I. Hexagram Symbolism & Health Philosophy Hexagram Image: Wind over Earth (Feng Di Guan) Upper Trigram: Xun (Wind) — Symbolizes movement, permeability, flexibility, and diffusion, akin to the flow of qi (vital energy), the spread of thought, breathing, and blood circulation. Lower Trigram: Kun (Earth) — Symbolizes nourishment, receptivity, grounding, and support, akin to the body’s foundation and the Earth’s role in sustaining life. The Xiang Zhuan (Image Commentary) says: "Contemplation: Purification without offering, with sincerity and reverence." This stresses sincere observation, virtuous reverence, and rightful action. Thus, the health philosophy of Guan is about stillness detecting movement, inward reflection guiding outward change, and respecting the natural rhythm—a holistic perspective on wellness. II. Core Health Insights from Guan 1. Silent Observation and Inner Awareness “Great vision above, aligning with the clarity of the great light.” Guan teaches us to avoid haste, assess timing, understand illness at its root, and provide care tailored to the individual. Practical Advice: Regularly monitor subtle bodily signals: tongue coating, pulse, complexion, bowel movements, emotional fluctuations. Keep a health journal: track sleep, diet, mood, and bodily reactions to identify patterns and cycles. Embrace traditional Chinese medicine’s concept of preventing illness before it arises: detect minor imbalances early to avoid major illness. 2. Nourishing Qi through the Flow of Wind Xun (Wind) also represents the movement of qi. Chinese medicine states: "When qi flows, blood flows. When qi stagnates, a hundred diseases arise." The structure of Wind over Earth highlights the importance of qi circulation throughout the body. Practical Advice: Practice morning and evening qi circulation exercises like Ba Duan Jin, qigong, or breathing meditation. Eat light and easily digestible food: avoid greasy, spicy, or heavy foods to support smooth qi flow. Use warming techniques like moxibustion, gua sha, and massage to aid circulation and relieve stagnation. III. Healthcare and Wellness Strategies Inspired by Guan 1. Nurture in Accordance with Natural Cycles Kun (Earth) corresponds to the four seasons. The entire hexagram suggests alignment with nature and seasonal rhythms. In health, this means adjusting body and mind care to the changing seasons: Spring (Birth): Nourish the liver and yang energy (rise early, release emotional stress) Summer (Growth): Nourish the heart and spirit (avoid anger, seek calm, keep desires simple) Autumn (Harvest): Nourish the lungs and consolidate energy (go to bed early, moisten dryness) Winter (Storage): Nourish the kidneys and essence (sleep longer, stay warm) The imagery of “wind moving over the earth” suggests that spring energy (wind) favors movement without chaos, emphasizing soothing the liver and promoting qi flow. 2. Honor Ritual and Reverence "Purification without offering, with sincerity and reverence" implies deep respect for Heaven, life, and the body. Guan reminds us: Respect the sacredness of the body: avoid overmedication or reckless treatment; trust the body’s natural healing. Value sincerity and respect in doctor-patient relationships: compassion from healers and trust from patients creates true healing. Cultivate a healer’s path: a health practitioner must be sincere and righteous to observe subtle signs and understand deeper truths. IV. Psychological & Spiritual Guidance from Guan 1. Inner Contemplation for Emotional Balance Guan emphasizes observation—of others, the self, and destiny. Psychologically, it points to self-awareness, emotional regulation, and mental tranquility. Emotional illness often stems from unresolved emotions: worry, anger, anxiety. Practicing “watching the heart” can gradually restore calm. Practical Advice: Sit quietly or meditate for 5–10 minutes daily, observing emotional shifts. Practice mindfulness therapy: remain aware in the present, reduce attachment to past and future. Read classics like the I Ching, Dao De Jing, and Zhuangzi to elevate spiritual understanding and open the heart. 2. Cultivating Gentleness and Flexibility Xun (Wind) is soft and invisible; Kun (Earth) is yielding and receptive. Guan promotes gentle integrity, avoiding rigidity and haste. Much of modern health suffering comes from impatience, stress, and control-fixation. Guan teaches us to step back, soften, slow down—and find fulfillment. V.
