A person's dressing is not simply to ward off the cold and hide the body, cover up the shame and hide the flesh.
It's how you dress and how you dress up reflect your taste, temperament and character from the side.
Dressing up is the most obvious image business card that conveys "who you are" to the outside world, and it affects the impression and feeling of others about you all the time.
A study in the United States even shows that people who dress more appropriately will not only have a higher salary than the average person, but also have a greater chance of promotion.
If that's the case, do you dare not pay attention to your dress?
There is a hexagram in the Book of Changes, which explains to us that people will pass through these sixfold realms for external decoration, and see which one you are in
The first one:
The first nine words: Ben his toes, abandon the car and go in vain.
Ben means to decorate, Ben Yao means: to decorate your toes, abandon the carriage ride and walk on foot.
The elephant said: Abandon the car and go to the army, and the righteous Buddha rides.
Meaning: Abandon the car and walk, because it is morally not supposed to ride.
The ninth day of the first month symbolizes the childhood period of life, and when the child is young, he must not be allowed to live too luxuriously.
Let him wear famous brands and ride luxury cars all day long, which is actually not good for his spiritual growth.
The best thing is to wash his feet, cut his nails, put on comfortable shoes, and walk more than all day in the car.
Zhuge Liang taught his children in the "Book of Commandments" that they must be "frugal to cultivate virtue", and they must be frugal, and frugality is not because our family is poor and can't afford to spend, but because frugality is the most beneficial to children.
The second weight:
Sixty-two words: Ben Qisu.
Meaning: grooming the beard of the elderly.
Xiang said: Ben Qi beard, and Shang Xing also.
The meaning of the elephant is: to groom the beard in order to rise up with the boss.
The ancients believed that "the body is the skin of the body, and the parents are the recipients", so they would not easily cut their hair and shave.
But as you get older, the longer your beard grows, you should retouch it so as not to affect your image.
As people grow up, especially when they arrive at work, they should pay attention to their own image, especially the head and face, and it is best to keep it clean.
In this way, it is comfortable for outsiders to look at, and it will also be appreciated by the boss because of its decent image.
The third level:
Ninety-three words: Ben Ru, Wet Ru, Yong Zhen Ji.
Meaning: If the decoration is shiny and soft, and always stick to the right path, you can obtain auspiciousness.
Dress up not only to dress up the appearance, but also to pay attention to the beauty of the soul, a person who is well-dressed and neat, and the heart is kind and pure, how can it not be auspicious?
People must be the same on the outside and inside as they are, and cultivate both inside and outside, otherwise even if they look good, they will make people feel tacky when they open their mouths, and they will not be liked by others.
I asked the Buddha, "Why don't you give all the women a face that is shy of the moon?"”The Buddha said, "It was just a flash in the pan, used to blind the eyes of the world."
There is no beauty that can be compared to a pure and loving heart, and I give it to every woman, but someone has made it dusty. Cangyang Gyatso.
Fourth:
**Words: Ben Ru, Wan Ru, White Horse Han Ru;Bandits, marriages.
Meaning: the decoration is white and elegant, riding a snow-white horse, galloping forward lightly;The person in front of him is not an enemy, but a beautiful marriage partner who he is hiring.
The ancients proposed marriage from the beginning of the robbery, to later dressed up as a ghost to propose, when people are more and more civilized, they are more and more pursuing a healthier way of proposing.
Wearing clean and beautiful clothes and riding a clean and beautiful white horse reflects people's psychological needs for neatness and health.
Do things with a sense of ritual, because let life be life, not just survival.
* Zhang Ailing, a talented woman, loves cheongsam all her life, and often designs patterns for tailors to tailor.
Even though she is in a foreign country and financially constrained, she still lives a delicate and beautiful life.
Wang Xiaobo said: It is not enough for a person to have this life and this life, he should also have a poetic world.
Fifth Weight:
Sixty-five words: Ben in the hill garden, bound to silk;Miserly, the end of the day.
Meaning: It means to decorate the hill garden, use a large number of silk fabrics, and then take out some meager silk silk to hire the Magi;There may be regrets, but in the end, they will be auspicious.
When the sixth and fifth reaches the position of the king, the royal garden needs to be properly decorated in order to show a kind of atmosphere.
But he gave very few rewards to his subordinatesWhy, because there are too many people below, you can't favor one over the other, so it is only natural that the leader gives less to his subordinates.
It shows that you are not a **, although the gifts to the people below are very meager, but they will not blame you, so you are auspicious in the end.
Courtesy is light and affectionate, sometimes we can't care too much about material things, and we should pay more attention to the other party's sincerity to ourselves.
Sixth:
Shangjiu's speech: Bai Ben, no blame.
Meaning: decorate with white, do not like flashiness, and have no evil.
Shangliuyao has entered the highest state of dressing, that is, without embellishment, back to the basics.
When you enter this realm, you fully understand the ultimate meaning of embellishment, no trick to win, no trick to win, the elephant is invisible, and the loud voice is sparse.
Nature doesn't need us humans to wear colors such as red and green, it already has a lot of colors, we humans just need to use the most simple dress and blend into it.
When you comprehend this, you will no longer be moved by the worldly desires, you will have no joy or sorrow, and you will be at ease in your heart.
Then some people will say: "Since simplicity is the highest state, then I will start from the child to the old line, okay?"”
In fact, this is not the best, because life needs to be experienced, life needs to grow, and dressing is the same as life.
When you have gone through so many ups and downs, at the end of the day, you will be relieved to say to yourself: I have been through it, enough is enough.
The more lacking on the inside, the more flashy on the outside.
Perhaps this is the most essential sentence of dressing up.
It has always been circulated among the people that "I Ching in my hand is not afraid to go all over the world"!In the eyes of the ancients, the reason why the Book of Changes is broad and profound, in the final analysis, is because it is all-encompassing, "I Ching" has a total of 64 hexagrams, corresponding to 64 life decision-making methods, clarifying the basic development laws of marriage and love, family, education, and workplace.
In this world, you really have to take some time to read the Book of Changes, to understand the great wisdom inside, which may make you feel like you are suddenly opened.
The book "I Ching" covers an all-encompassing, broad and profound content, and it is precisely because of this that it is obscure and difficult for ordinary people to understand the mysteries.
Therefore, for thousands of years, many people have regarded the Book of Changes as a book of fortune telling, and some people have regarded it as a feudal superstition.
However, with the development of society, people gradually discovered that the "Book of Changes" explains how to behave in different stages of life to the point of incisiveness, which can be called the source of Chinese philosophical thought.
From the universe to everyone's life, the laws contained in it are all in the book "I Ching". In his later years, Confucius studied the Book of Changes alone, and once exclaimed, "Add me a few years, fifty years to learn, you can do nothing".
Ancient Confucianism and Taoism all used the hexagrams in the Book of Changes as the foundation of their path.
I am a person who is obsessed with the Book of Changes, but when I first came into contact with the Book of Changes, it was very difficult to understand because the original book was all in Chinese, and I was always distressed during that time.
Just when I wanted to give up, a friend of Yi Xue recommended this "** Book of Changes" to me, this book on the basis of respecting the original work, adding full annotations and full translations, completely solved my reading problems.
And it is not just about some blunt truths, but in connection with real life, using the form of ** and Mao to explain the mystery of the 64 hexagrams to us.
It covers explanations of the five elements, the heavenly stems, the earthly branches, Tai Chi and the eight trigrams, as well as the introduction of images, numbers and principles in the Book of Changes.
After this book, not only did I easily get started with the knowledge of 64 hexagrams, but also benefited me immensely. So today I am going to recommend this book to everyone, if you also have such troubles, then don't hesitate.
