《象》曰:“王用出征”,以正邦也。

In the hexagram of Li, both the top and bottom lines have the image of bright yang, just like the shining sun, hence the name "Li." Fire is a powerful force that can illuminate all things and provide human beings with light and heat, so Li represents such a force. Li symbolizes the spirit of brightness, passion, vitality, and enthusiasm, representing a power that is full of energy and vigor.

In the Book of Changes, Li is associated with the concept of "advantageous to be steadfast and upright, beneficial to have a place to go, auspicious," meaning "to achieve success, one must proceed with caution, accumulate energy, and then good fortune will come." Li represents the spirit of passion, brightness, and energy, representing fire, the color red, the south, and the power of dispersion. It also symbolizes the spirit of passion, love, and zeal, representing a power characterized by passion and vigor.In summary, Li represents the power of passion, brightness, energy, enthusiasm, and love, symbolizing the warmth and passion of fire, and representing a power that is full of energy and vigor.

如果離卦出現凶象,可能表示事情會出現變故或者不利的情況。在事業上,可能面臨失敗或者競爭激烈的情況,需要更加努力和堅定;在感情上,可能需要避免衝突和爭吵,保持冷靜和理智;在健康上,可能需要更加注重安全和保護,避免受傷和燙傷等意外。

然而,凶象也不一定代表著坏事。通過調整自己的心態,改善自己的行動方式,或者依靠自己的努力和智慧,可以化危機為轉機,實現自我提升和成長。因此,當面對離卦的凶象時,需要保持冷靜和清醒的頭腦,及時採取正確的行動和措施,找到問題的根源,排除障礙,轉危為安,走向成功的道路。

Li is one of the eight trigrams and represents fire. In the Li hexagram, the upper trigram is Li and the lower trigram is Kun, representing flames rising high and the earth sinking, symbolizing a strong and powerful energy.

However, if an ominous sign appears in the Li hexagram, it may indicate that there could be changes or unfavorable circumstances ahead. In business, one may face failure or intense competition, and need to work harder and remain determined. In relationships, one may need to avoid conflicts and maintain a calm and rational mindset. In health, one may need to pay more attention to safety and protection, and avoid accidents and burns.

Nevertheless, an ominous sign does not necessarily mean bad things. By adjusting one's mindset, improving one's approach, or relying on one's efforts and wisdom, one can turn crisis into opportunity, achieve self-improvement and growth. Therefore, when facing an ominous sign in the Li hexagram, one needs to maintain a calm and clear mind, take timely and correct actions, identify the root causes of problems, remove obstacles, turn danger into safety, and move towards the path of success.
