The source of the sentence
This sentence comes from Xiang Zhuan written by Confucius for Zhouyi. Elephant communication can be divided into baby elephants and baby elephants. The elephant explains the meaning of hexagrams, and the elephant explains six characters. This sentence comes from the "image" of Gan Kun's two hexagrams.
(dry divination) is like saying: Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; (Kun Gua) Meet: The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with kindness. The last sentence, "Heaven is powerful, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement", is more widely circulated. But for two thousand years, many people know and few people can understand. However, there are still different explanations in academic circles, and there seems to be no recognized correct explanation.
A popular explanation (reference): Heaven works well, and a gentleman should follow the example of Heaven and strive for self-improvement; The situation of the land is similar to that of Kun. A gentleman should take the land as an example and put morality first. Note: Xiang Kun, which means "Shuncheng".

I Ching
The first divination is to work for the sky.
The elephant said: Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement. If you don't use the hidden dragon, Yang is next. Do it all day, over and over again. Or jump into the abyss and have no regrets. Fei long is in the sky, and Niu San is also there. Kang long has regrets and cannot last long. With nine, Tiande can't be the first.
……
People who work hard are also people who start from scratch. Chastity, temperament also. In the beginning, we can use beauty to benefit the world, not words. Great! What a big deal! Strong and upright, pure and free from vulgarity. Give full play to six ideas and bypass feelings. Take six dragons to rule the sky. Clouds are raining and the world is flat.
A gentleman's virtue can be seen every day. Implicit words are also hidden, but not seen, which is also used by gentlemen. A gentleman learns to gather, argue, tolerate and be kind.
The second divination, Kun Kun, is Di Kun from top to bottom.
Hunan and Guangdong: the terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with virtue.
Relevant explanation
explain
The Book of Changes says: Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement; The capacity of the earth is limited, so a gentleman must constantly cultivate his own virtue to undertake the world. "Tian Xingjian" and "Terrain Kun" lost their symmetry for the following reasons:
According to the silk book Zhouyi, "Gan" is the key, "Tian Xingjian" is the heavenly key, "Key" is the ancient word of "Gan", and "Key" is also trained as "Sword", which are strung together:
God, okay, damn it. Fuck, Kenya.
According to the Silk Book of Changes, "Kun" means "Chuan", "Shi" means "Holding", "Terrain Kun" means "Holding Chuan", "Chuan" is the ancient word of "Kun", and "Chuan" means "Shun", which means:
Di, Cao Ye, Kun (Chuan). Kun, Shunya.
"Earth" also has the power of the original, and "holding" is "potential", so "Earth holding Kun" becomes "terrain Kun". "Hold" hold; The meanings of "potential", "force" and "potential" are great.
People's advisers have turned into heaven and earth, and they can participate in "all things" and "recover" to "see the heart of heaven and earth" Heaven and earth, three talents and two talents, walking in the middle, what is the confusion?
God forbid, fuck. Fuck, Kenya. A gentleman strives for self-improvement.
The first place, Kun. Kun, Shunya. A gentleman carries things with virtue.
