风火家人Jiā Rén · The Household
巽上 · 离下Wind over Fire
卦辞The Judgement
家人：利女贞。Jiā Rén. Favorable for a woman to be steadfast and upright.
讲究家庭关系、内部秩序、各司其职。离火在下属火居南方，巽风在上属木居东南——风从火中生出，火把空气烤热了才有风。木生火，风助火势，火暖家风——内部循环，自成体系。每个人都要做好自己的角色——女主内、男主外（不是性别问题，是角色明确）。家和万事兴——内部稳了，外部就稳。
This is about family bonds, inner order, and each person playing their proper role. The lower trigram Lí is Fire, element Fire, in the south; the upper trigram Xùn is Wind, element Wood, in the southeast — wind born out of fire, for it's the fire heating the air that makes the wind. Wood generates Fire: the wind feeds the fire, the fire warms the family air — an inner circulation, a self-contained system. Everyone should do their own part well — the inner sphere and the outer sphere each clearly defined (not a matter of gender, but of clear roles). A harmonious household makes all things prosper — settle the inside, and the outside settles too.
大象The Image
《象》曰：风自火出，家人；君子以言有物而行有恒。Wind comes forth from fire: the image of the Family. The noble one, accordingly, gives substance to his words and constancy to his conduct.
六爻The Six Lines
初九，闲有家，悔亡。Guarding the household. Regret vanishes.
在家庭或团队建立的初期，就要立好规矩——离火初爻，火刚点着——趁火候未旺，先把防火规矩立好，这种“防微杜渐”很重要。等问题出现再补救就晚了。
At the founding of a family or a team, set the rules from the start — Lí's Fire, first line, the flame just lit — while the fire is still low, set the fire-rules first — this "nip it in the bud" is crucial. Waiting until problems appear to fix them is too late.
六二，无攸遂，在中馈，贞吉。Making no willful decisions; tending to the food within the home. Steadfast and upright: good fortune.
不强出头、做好分内的事（比如日常照料）——离火居中，火候最正——在家把日常照料做好，就是功劳，保持本分就是吉。不需要刻意表现。
Don't push to the front; do your own part well — Lí's Fire centered, the heat at its truest — doing the daily caretaking well at home is itself the merit — the daily caretaking. Keeping to your role is itself good fortune — no need to make a show of yourself.
九三，家人嗃嗃，悔厉，吉；妇子嘻嘻，终吝。The household scolding, scolding. Regret over the severity, yet good fortune. The women and children laughing, laughing. In the end, humiliation.
对家人严格要求会有点遗憾——离火到三爻，火变猛了——严一点虽苦，但比放任不管强，但比放任不管要好。严而有爱，比纵容更负责。
Being strict with the family carries some regret — Lí's Fire at the third line, the fire turning fierce — strictness is bitter, but better than letting things run loose — but it beats indulgent neglect. Strict with love is more responsible than letting things slide.
六四，富家，大吉。Enriching the household. Great good fortune.
让家庭富裕起来——巽风初爻，风从火上来——内部热火朝天，外面清风徐来，家和万事兴，这是大吉。能让家人物质和精神都富足，是真正的成就。
Bringing prosperity to the household — Xùn's Wind, first line, the wind rising off the fire — inside a roaring warmth, outside a fresh breeze, the harmonious house prospering — great good fortune. Being able to make your family flourish, in means and in spirit, is a true accomplishment.
九五，王假有家，勿恤，吉。The king brings his influence to the household. Do not worry. Good fortune.
用威严而又有爱的方式对待家庭——巽风居中，风最柔——在家庭里不以势压人，以情动人，不必担心，最终是吉的。这种家长式的关爱最能凝聚家人。
Holding the family together with dignity and love both — Xùn's Wind centered, the wind at its softest — in the home you don't press people with power, you move them with feeling — no need to worry, the outcome is good. This fatherly care is what binds a household.
上九，有孚，威如，终吉。Sincere, with dignity. In the end, good fortune.
用真诚和威严管理家人——巽风到极处——风传得远但根在家，威信从自省开始，能反观自己、不断修正自己——最终是吉的。家庭管理本质是自我修行。
Govern the household with sincerity and dignity — Xùn's Wind at its extreme — the wind carries far, but its root is in the home, and authority begins with self-examination — able to look inward and keep correcting yourself — and the end is good fortune. Family governance is, at root, self-cultivation.
