    Hexagram interpretation:<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \"Gen\" means to stop or to halt. Both the upper and lower trigrams are Gen. It can signify \"mountain\" or the meaning of stopping and hindering. A mountain is a natural obstacle that prevents further progress. Therefore, it fully expresses the meaning of stopping. Now, the single yang line slowly pushes upward from below, breaking through the two yin lines and rising to the top. However, it can no longer advance and stops. Both the upper and lower trigrams are the same, which is the meaning of \"Gen.\" Therefore, it is named the Gen trigram.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Interpretation of fortune stick person<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Qin Shi Huang, whose surname was Ying and given name was Zheng. Later generations commonly referred to him as Ying Zheng or King Zheng of Qin, and some literary works also called him \"Ancestral Dragon.\" He called himself \"First Emperor\" and was the monarch of the State of Qin at the end of China's Warring States period. He ascended the throne at the age of 13, successively eliminated Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, and heavily relied on Li Si and Wei Liao. At the age of 39, he unified the six states and established the Qin Dynasty, and died at the age of 50 while on an imperial tour.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Annotation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    To prevent incursions by the barbarians, building the Great Wall was a futile effort.\nDisturbing the people's lives causing hardship: It exhausts the people and wastes resources, disrupting people's lives and leading to destitution.\nHeaven does not tolerate human desires: People must have morality to receive divine protection; greed is impermissible according to heavenly principles.\nThe rivers and mountains remain unharmed, but the nation is in peril: The natural landscape remains unchanged, but the name of the nation one established will be annihilated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Vernacular<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    To prevent incursions by northern nomadic peoples, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall. Large numbers of laborers were sent to the border for corv\u00e9e service, forcing families to separate. To construct the wall, the Qin state imposed heavy taxes and cruel policies, making life unbearable for the common people. Consequently, the forces of the six former states rose up to resist the tyranny. After Qin Shi Huang's death, the dynasty, which had only existed for fifteen years, collapsed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Fortune telling by lot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Qin Shi Huang, for the construction of the Great Wall, broke up how many families, extorted how much wealth. The so-called tyranny was fiercer than tigers, and the people lamented. This poem, representing the Gen trigram, signifies that one mountain has passed, yet another blocks the traveler's path. If one stops at an inappropriate point, there will be an unexpected failure. Lost items: If found within a day, they will be there; otherwise, they will be gone. Homes (yin and yang): If successful, all will be well and peaceful. Pregnancy: Gives birth to a boy. Lifespan: Exhibiting arrogance leads to misfortune. Business: Fear of deceptive substitutes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Divination Meaning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    This hexagram is named \"Gen,\" meaning restraint. It reveals the principle that one's actions should be self-controlled, striving to do what one ought to do and stop what one ought to stop, with proper balance between action and stillness, and knowing when to stop. The mountain symbolizes stopping and retreating. One should know when to advance and when to retreat, and act within one's capabilities. Like climbing a mountain, one needs to fully assess one's physical condition and the situation on the mountain; one must never force oneself. Resting at the right time will ensure a safe journey. When you obtain this hexagram, there are major events or obstacles and setbacks ahead. If you can remain conservative and cultivate your character, you will be safe; otherwise, it will be inauspicious. Two mountains stand side by side, each in its place. It is advisable to be content with one's position and stay within one's bounds, not exceeding one's proper place in anything. It also symbolizes two people standing back to back, unable to help each other and remaining independent. There may be dangers and financial losses, but with external help, things will gradually turn for the better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":7419,"menu_order":52,"template":"","class_list":["post-7418","fortune-sticks","type-fortune-sticks","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fortune-sticks\/7418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fortune-sticks"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fortune-sticks"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goldenballboy.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
