Chapter 1 Section 1 乾（pronounce：qian）
乾 is the first of the sixty-four hexagrams, it is the beginning of everything, the beginning of everything, just like the alpha of the Bible.
It represents the sky, the most majestic and powerful aura. It is male, the sun, the monarch, and the fierce horse. It represents the northwest.
Next, we elaborate on its hexagram.
乾，元，亨，利，贞——translate——乾，Initially, unobstructed, favorable, correct.
These are the four virtues of dryness. Remember these four virtues, they will be the four best and most perfect virtues in the whole book. It is rare to have four virtues at the same time, and it also shows the greatness of 乾.
初九：潜龙勿用——translate——first YANG，The dragon lurks underground and does nothing.
The 乾 is composed of six YANGS. In the 乾, these YANGS are vividly compared to dragons.
And YANG, who is in the first position, is considered to be a dragon lurking in the ground, accumulating power and waiting for an opportunity.
From a divination point of view, it means that things will not change for the time being in the future, so you'd better try not to take extraneous external actions that interfere with the development of things. You should actively prepare, not act.
九二：见龙在田，利见大人。——translate——second YANG，dragon came to the field and met a great man.
Here, things start to change. The dragon has come out of the ground, but it has not yet reached the sky. On the ground, it met a great man, and a great man could help it.
From a divination point of view, this means that in the future you will meet a person or thing that will be very helpful to you, making you embark on the road to success. Therefore, you need to start taking action, which can only be met in change.
九三：君子终日乾乾，夕惕若厉，无咎。——translate——third YANG，A gentleman works very hard every day, and at night he has to seriously reflect on it. Only in this way will he not encounter disasters.
Here, no dragon appears, but a description of a gentleman appears. In fact, in the entire scriptures, the two most common types of people are "gentlemen" and "villains". The gentleman is good, the villain is evil. Only the gentleman can achieve success, the villain is doomed to fail.
From a divination point of view, when you get here, you will start a big move. But big operations have to be well-prepared, and like fighting a war, you need to think about troops and logistics, and whether people are willing to support you. If you're in a hurry, you're doomed to fail - remember Putin?
九四：或跃在渊，无咎。——translate——fourth YANG，The dragon flew into the valley without harm.
The dragon is in action! But instead of flying straight into the sky, it flew into the valley. Here, it is making final preparations, and the valley can hide its whereabouts, which is the perfect lurking before the fatal blow.
From the perspective of divination, at the current time node, you have come to the door of success, but the higher you stand, the worse you fall. You must always be vigilant, and would rather be lurking than show off your upcoming victory , to avoid falling before picking the fruit of victory. Like Julius Caesar, he did not anticipate the senate's betrayal.
九五：飞龙在天，利见大人。——translate——fifth YANG，The dragon was flying high in the sky, and it greeted each other with God.
The dragon finally flew to the highest sky! God has bestowed upon it the glory, and like a crowned king, it receives the adoration of all on earth.
From a divination point of view, here you will be sure of success! What you look forward to is bound to happen, what you do, everything goes well!
上九：亢龙有悔。——translate——sixth YANG，The tallest dragon regretted it.
Why does the highest flying dragon regret it?Because it has no way forward, all the way it has gone. All the glory, it's been earned. Next, only aging and death await it.
From a divination point of view, this means that the development of things will irreversibly turn to decay, and you must get out as soon as possible.
用九：见群龙无首，吉。——translate——last YANG，Dragons without a leader，auspicious。
Of the sixty-four symbols, only 乾 and 坤 appear as "last". It represents an extreme transformation, the violent upheaval of things.
From the perspective of divination, things will usher in earth-shaking changes at this time, and you who are in it will be lucky.
