Classical Chinese Biography·Kun Classical Chinese·Full Text

Kun is soft yet strong in movement, quiet yet virtuous, and finally attains the master and has eternity, containing all things and turning into light. Kun's way is smooth, and it follows the sky and moves in time. A house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed, and a house that accumulates bad deeds will have lingering disasters. A minister will kill his king, and a son will kill his father. This does not happen overnight, but happens gradually. It’s because you don’t argue early. "Book of Changes" says: "When you walk on frost, the solid ice arrives." "Straight" means rightness, and "square" means meaning. A gentleman's respect should be straight within, and righteousness should be directed outward. Respect for righteousness is established and virtue is not isolated. "It's straight and big, and there will be no disadvantage if you don't practice it." Then there is no doubt about what he is doing. Although the yin is beautiful, if it is "contained" to serve the king, it cannot be accomplished. The true way is the way of being a wife and the way of being a minister. The authentic "no success" replaces the "end". The heaven and the earth change, the vegetation grows, the heaven and the earth close, and the wise men hide. "Yi" says: "If you include everything, there will be no blame or reputation." Gai Yan is also sincere. The gentleman's "yellow" is in harmony, in the right position, and the beauty is in it. It flows freely through the four branches and develops in career. It is extremely beautiful! If Yin is suspicious of Yang, it will fight, because it is suspicious of Yang without Yang. Therefore, it is called "dragon" without departing from its category, so it is called "blood". Those who are "Xuan Huang" are the mixture of heaven and earth. The sky is Xuan and the earth is yellow.
