64 Hexagrams of Zhouyi, 38th Hexagram
Picture Comment This hexagram indicates bad fortune, like Tai Gong doing business, selling pigs and cows quickly but sheep slowly, when both pigs and sheep are sold together, they are slaughtered.
This hexagram is formed by the combination of two opposite hexagrams (lower Dui, upper Li). Li represents fire; Dui represents marsh. Fire above and marsh below, contradictory and not supporting each other. Conflict leads to life, and the cycle never ends. All things differ, must have differences, and contradict each other. Kui means contradiction.
Career It is difficult to start a career, and the situation is arduous. If you can work together with mutual trust, the goal can be achieved. However, the initial success is usually for small matters. Accumulating small matters can lead to great achievements. Success comes from cooperation, failure from divergent goals. Strengthen unity, compromise to achieve communication. Most忌 internal suspicion.
Business Should approach market competition with a calm and peaceful attitude, seeking common ground while reserving differences. Do not view competitors as enemies, you can cooperate without losing your identity, avoid factionalism. Especially avoid disputes and do everything possible to prevent disasters.
Name Strive forward with sincerity. When necessary, do not completely cut off relations with villains, adopt a broad and tolerant attitude, and maintain moderate contact. For those with similar aspirations, you don't need to be completely consistent, but can seek common ground in differences.
