Yi Gua Western Zhou Dynasty

King Wen was imprisoned in the "little dark room" in Youli by King Zhou. Others were hoping for a reduced sentence. He picked up yarrow and calculated the "Kun Gua" and figured out the core: "Don't lie down when you are trapped to death, you have to find a way to survive!" After he was released from prison, he built the "Yi Plow" based on the principle of "Yi Gua" that "the people should be fed first". Golden ears of millet were grown in the wasteland of Xiqi, and the old farmers all shouted, "This hexagram works!" In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, there were Shuangwen scripts: using the "Comparison Gua" to draw allies to break the "no one to play with" situation; relying on the "Tongren Gua" to deliver corn at Mengjin Ferry, gathering all the eight hundred princes without using swords and guns; in the Battle of Muye, Jiang Taigong started a regiment based on the "Shi Gua", killing only the tyrant soldiers and defeating the merchant army. After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, there was no confusion: the "Sui Gua" was used to "leave the merchants to worship and divide the fields" to settle the survivors, and the "Ding Gua" was used to move the nine tripods to stabilize the foundation of Luoyi - how could the hexagrams at that time be a heavenly book? It's a picture of King Wen's farm tools and a PPT of Duke Zhou's governance of the country! It's a pity that he completely forgot about his origins in the later period: King Li lost the "Jie Gua" "leaving a way to survive" police, imposed patent taxes and forced the people to have no food; King You carried out the "Gui Gua" "Don't break promises" and used the beacon tower to play "wolf is coming" with the princes. The dog Rong really attacked, but no one rescued him, and he simply overturned! In the end, King Ping moved eastward, leaving only "Pe Gua" to "keep the broken tripod to continue his life". After all, where is the hexagram of destiny? What can make a dynasty break out of trouble is always to take care of the people's "eating matters", not to treat the beacon tower as a toy!
