On the Mid Autumn Festival of Bingchen, drinking happily and getting drunk, I wrote this article while also carrying my son.

When will the bright moon appear? Ask Qingtian about the wine. I don't know what season it would be in the heavens on this night. I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid of the towering buildings and the cold from high places. Dancing to clear the shadows is like being in the human world.

The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors, Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge. Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart? People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart, the moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane, This has been going on since the beginning of time. May we all be blessed with longevity. Though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together..

The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is the traditional Chinese festival Mid-Autumn Festival, which symbolizes reunion with the full moon. It originated from the ancient worship of the moon and autumn worship activities, and is also related toRelated to myths and legends such as' Chang'e Flying to the Moon '. Traditional customs include admiring the moon, eating mooncakes, lighting lanterns, family reunions, etc. In some areas, there are also special activities such as dancing fire dragons and appreciating osmanthus flowers. The Mid-Autumn Festival carries people's expectations for family reunion and a happy life, reflects the spiritual connotation of Chinese culture that attaches importance to kinship and harmony, and is an important carrier for inheriting national culture and promoting emotional connection.

Today's Energy Guide

Today's hexagram:Feng Shui is lax（䷺）

The Book of ChangesNo.fifty-nineThe hexagram states that the wind rises above the sun and the water falls below the ridge. The wind flows on the water, and the flow is guided accordingly.

Hexagram revelation:The original meaning of "huan" is the dispersion of water flow. The Shuowen explains that "huan is also scattered", but the huan hexagram in the Book of Changes does not simply point to chaos, but reveals the dialectical wisdom of "new life is contained in chaos". The hexagram 'Xun' represents the wind, symbolizing gentle and stealthy movement; The bottom of the hexagram represents water, indicating difficulty in flowing. Wind and water can both stir up waves and guide the current - this is precisely the core of the Huan hexagram: in the face of a scattered situation, only by following the trend and combining softness with strength can we gather strength in dispersion. Discrepancy is the prelude to aggregation, while turbulence is the prelude to rebirth. Only by taking risks with flexibility and following the trend can we maintain the vitality of flow and gather the strength to move forward in the tide of the times.

A thousand strokes and ten thousand strikes still remain strong, allowing the wind to blow in all directions.
