📖 This chapter specifically discusses methods to determine whether a marriage will be beneficial for the parents. The core lies in observing the Parent Line (the line representing parents) in the hexagram—whether this line is strong or weak is not actually the most critical issue. What truly requires vigilance is: if the Wealth Line (the line representing money, spouse, or concubine) suddenly moves 🌪️, it often indicates that this marriage may bring harm to the parents.
Additionally, special attention should be paid if the following situations occur:
These all suggest that the parents may have entered their twilight years 🌅 (the evening scene of mulberry and elm). At this point, even if the marriage is abandoned, it may still be difficult to completely avoid adverse effects on the parents.
In contemporary society, this content can be understood as: Marriage is not just the union of two individuals but also the connection of two families. The "movement of the Wealth Line" in the hexagram can be analogized to the excessive prominence of economic factors in marriage (such as disputes over betrothal gifts or property) or potential conflicts between the spouse and the family of origin, which may affect the parents' physical and mental health.
"The weakness of the Parent Line" can be interpreted as the parents being advanced in age or in inherently weak health. Any changes in the family environment (including those brought about by the children's marriage) may have a significant impact on them.
The family ethics revealed by the ancients through changes in the lines are worth pondering: Marriage is not just a personal choice but also carries responsibility toward elders. This wisdom of balancing "filial piety" and "marriage" remains enlightening in the modern era dominated by individualism—reminding us that marital freedom and family responsibilities need to be balanced.
🌟 Tip: The principle of "the Wealth Line moving to restrain parents" emphasized in this chapter can be extended in modern times to represent the impact of economic factors on family relationships, carrying practical warning significance.
