Today's hexagram:Water land ratio（䷇）

The Book of ChangeseightHexagram, up the ridge (water) and down the Kun (earth), water flows on the earth, stars arch the moon.

Hexagram revelation: Water flows on the ground, seeping into all directions, symbolizing the symbiotic relationship between water attached to the ground and water carried by the ground, like rivers rushing through fertile fields, nourishing each other and being intimately connected.The original meaning of 'bi' is closeness and attachment, and it is extended to 'the wisdom of unity and cooperation'. The upper hexagram represents flexibility, inclusiveness, and wisdom, while the lower hexagram represents heaviness, carrying capacity, and foundation. The combination of the two reveals the philosophy of "softness in strength, roundness on the outside, and squareness on the inside" - like water flowing along the ground, people need to adapt to their environment, and balance "attachment" and "independence" in changes. Only by gathering all things with the virtue of softness and inclusiveness can we move steadily and reach the auspicious realm of "stars surrounding the moon" in complex interpersonal networks.

Although we reside in far corners of the world, having a good friend is akin to having a good neighbor.
