(1) Kun's upper and lower hexagrams are all Kun, and Kun's hexagrams are soil; Low land and high land, the form of land is formed by competition, that is, potential; Kun is smooth, so it is called "Terrain Kun".
(2) "Thick" means strengthening and thickening. Heavy Kun is thick, Kun shun is virtuous, and the land is straight, large and square, which can carry everything. Therefore, there is a saying that "a gentleman carries things with kindness". "Carrying things with kindness" points out the virtue of the earth to accommodate, grow and protect everything.

Kungua symbolizes the earth, and a gentleman should tolerate everything with the virtue of generosity and harmony like the earth.
[Interpretation]
(dry divination) like saying: "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement"; (Kun Gua) Xiang said: "The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with kindness." These two sentences are famous throughout the ages. Tsinghua University's school motto is: "Strive for self-improvement, be virtuous and carry things".
The thickness of the ground is consistent, without infertility; Virtue and generosity carry many people and benefit many people. "Ji Zan of the Empress in the Later Han Dynasty": "Kun is only thick, but Yin is only inside." Be generous when carrying things, and be generous when carrying blessings. "Liu Jin in Mandarin": "I heard that only people with virtue can be blessed, and those who serve others without virtue will hurt themselves." Hugo, a master of French literature, said: "The ocean is the widest in the world, the sky is wider than the ocean, and the human mind is wider than the sky." Learn the spirit of the earth, have a broad mind and a tolerant heart. You know, one step higher in life, retrogression is progress. This is the truth that "inchworm bends for stretching". It is a blessing to be lenient with others, and it is also self-serving. At all times and in all countries, the smarter people are, the more tolerant they are. Therefore, people who do great things can win the hearts of the people and grow stronger.
The gentleman governs the sky, is upright and unyielding; Gentleman is gentle, smooth and virtuous.
