The I Ching's Wu Wang hexagram tells us that the best state is "acting without seeking anything in return." When you focus solely on your efforts without worrying about the fruit that may not yet arrive, you gain a sense of inner peace and strength. Whether the Wu Wang hexagram brings good fortune or misfortune depends entirely on your thoughts. Taking things one step at a time may be slower, but it is the most stable path.

The Mingyi hexagram teaches us: - First, conceal your strength; - Preserve yourself; - Wait for a more suitable opportunity. When circumstances are unfavorable, humility is a form of wisdom; longevity is more important than temporary victory.

Being shrewd and capable is never the problem; the problem lies in showing off one's talents without realizing it. Not knowing how to conceal one's abilities easily attracts the envy of others, and over time, one will feel that everyone around them is a villain.

The term "doujin" (同人) in contemporary Japanese popular culture can also refer to non-commercial artistic groups. Whether they are obsessed with anime, cosplay, or niche electronic music, they come together because of pure passion and call their published works "doujinshi" (同人志). This kind of "doujin" born from interest, though unrelated to profit, possesses the most primal and fervent joy. However, upon closer examination, it's not hard to find that the lines 93 and 94 in the hexagram reflect the inevitable situation that arises after people get to know each other deeply: suspicion and defensiveness arising from conflicting opinions or interests in interpersonal relationships.

If a company's boss is unwilling to communicate and only acts according to his own ideas; employees also act independently and do what they want, lacking mutual understanding and cooperation; the final result is often chaos, internal friction, and even collapse - this is the "Fei Gua" in the "Book of Changes", where there is no communication between the upper and lower levels, and the energy is blocked, making it difficult to move forward.

When many people hear the word "scatter," they subconsciously associate it with failure, disintegration, and disintegration. However, the "Huan" hexagram in the Book of Changes reminds us that "scatter" is not an end, but a new beginning. "Dispersion is not an end, but an opportunity for renewal; only after scattering and then gathering can there be new life."
