Today's hexagram:Mountain stripping（䷖）

The Book of ChangesNo.23 The hexagram states that the upper Gen (mountain) and lower Kun (earth) are attached to the ground, and the mountain gradually peels off.

Hexagram revelation: Mountains represent stillness and obstruction; Down to the ground, symbolizing obedience and carrying. The high mountains collapse on the earth due to wind and rain erosion, symbolizing the reduction of yang energy and the diffusion of yin energy, as if the cold winter is approaching and all things wither. Peel off immediately'Erosion and peeling', the hexagram 'high mountains attached to the earth' symbolizes the declining state of masculine strength being eroded by layers of yin and softness, and the foundation gradually losing. The peeling hexagram is an extreme state of yin prosperity and yang decline, like a warning bell on a cold night, telling us that decline is not the end, but the prelude to reorganization. In the rapidly changing era, when learning to hide in "stripping": stopping at the right time to protect the foundation, observing phenomena and cultivating the mind to guard the spiritual platform - waiting for the last ray of yang energy to rise is the dawn of the hexagram.

The roots of the elderly are strong, and the leaves of the sun are even more yin.

The light bulb uses carbonized cotton filament, which can continuously emit light after being powered in a vacuum glass bulbthirteenHour marks the transition of electric lights from experimental stage to practical application.Edison's contribution was not only in inventing the electric light itself, but also in establishing a complete power industry system. He built the world's first commercial power system by improving generators, laying power grids, developing fuses and switches, and other supporting equipment. To solve the problem of filament material, he tested it

one thousand and six hundredMultiple heat-resistant materials were selected, and Japanese bamboo carbonized silk was ultimately chosen to extend the lifespan of the light bulbone thousand and two hundredHour.This invention completely changed the way humans live: it extended working hours and promoted nighttime economic prosperity; It has given birth to emerging industries such as electricity and electrical manufacturing, accelerating the process of urbanization; its

The "invention factory" model has pioneered the modern industrial research and development system. The popularization of electric lights has also promoted the development of social undertakings such as education and healthcare, and is known as a landmark achievement of the "Second Industrial Revolution"twentyThe technological civilization of the century has had a profound impact.世纪科技文明产生了深远影响。
