The # Dui hexagram in the Book of Changes: The image is "mouth",
It means speaking, exchanging, and communicating, and it contains the art of speaking🗣️.
❇️The character DUI, with the character 言 next to it, means to say – # to speak;
❇️The character Dui, with the character heart as a radical, is Yue – # joy;
❇️The character Dui, with the character Jin as the radical, means sharp – # sharp;
Moderate speaking can bring about a pleasant and harmonious relationship 😁;
Excessive words will make people feel that the words are sharp and mean 😖,
This leads to tension and breakdown in relationships.
As the saying goes: "The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention".
Be careful when speaking three parts, and keep seven parts in your heart.
Speak carefully and try to avoid hurting other people's feelings and interests.
And constantly reflect and pay attention, adjust your words and actions,
Avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.
In short, speaking is an art that requires continuous learning and practice.
We need to constantly improve our communication and expression skills.
The infinite power of language,
Good use of it will bring you benefits, while misuse of it will bring you harm!
