Speaking is an art, a science.
It requires coordination with the timing of heaven, man and earth.
非其人,不必说
非其时,虽得其人,也不必说
非其地,虽得其时,其人,仍然保持不说。

鬼谷子:故口者,机关也,所以关闭情意也 。

"口" refers to a person's mouth.
The mouth is likened to a machine.
It can be turned on and off and controlled just like a machine.

"Shutting down affection" means controlling your mouth,
Don’t express your emotions and thoughts freely.
To achieve self-protection or to achieve a certain purpose.

易经里的 兑卦:形象是“口”,
It means speaking, exchanging, and communicating, and it contains the art of speaking🗣️.

❇️兑字,加言字旁,就是说 – 说话;
❇️兑字,加心字旁,就是悦 – 愉悦;
❇️兑字,加金字旁,就是锐 – 尖锐;

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.

正所谓:“言者无意,听着有心”。
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!
