Jiā rén or Chia Jen – Dwelling People, the family, family members
Øverst	Trigram: Sun The Gentle, Wind
Nederst	Trigram: Li The Clinging, Flame

Billedet
Vind kommer fra brand: Billedet af familien. Således den overlegne mand har stof i hans ord og varighed i sin måde at leve på.

Varme skaber energi: Dette er tilkendegivet af vinden ophidsede ved ilden og udstedelse frem danne det. Dette repræsenterer påvirkning arbejder indefra udad. Det samme er behov for i reguleringen af familien. Også her indflydelse på andre skal fortsætte formular ens egen person.

For at være i stand til at producere en sådan indflydelse, skal ens ord har magt, og det kan de kun, hvis de er baseret på noget virkeligt, ligesom flammen afhænger af dets brændstof Ord har indflydelse, når de er relevante og klart relateret til konkrete omstændigheder. Generelle diskurser og formaninger uden virkning. Desuden skal ordene være understøttet af hele ens adfærd, ligesom vinden gøres effektivt ved indtryk på andre, at de kan tilpasse og overholder den. Hvis ord og handlinger ikke er i overensstemmelse og konsekvent, vil de ikke have nogen effekt.

The Image
Wind comes forth from fire: The image of The Family. Thus the superior man has substance in his words and duration in his way of life.

Heat creates energy: this is signified by the wind stirred up by the fire and issuing forth form it. This represents influence working from within outward. The same thing is needed in the regulation of the family. Here too the influence on others must proceed form one’s own person.

In order to be capable of producing such an influence, one’s words must have power, and this they can have only if they are based on something real, just as flame depends on its fuel Words have influence only when they are pertinent and clearly related to definite circumstances. General discourses and admonitions have no effect whatsoever. Furthermore, the words must be supported by one’s entire conduct, just as the wind is made effective by am impression on others that they can adapt and conform to it. If words and conduct are not in accord and consistent, they will have no effect.

I Ching helt enkelt Hexagram nr. 37 Hexagrammet Chia jên vedrører det rette fundament for menneskelige fællesskaber. I Ching lærer os, at alle familier må have en overordnet person i deres centrum, hvis de skal have fremgang og blive vellykkede. For at forbedre vor familie, vort selskab, land eller verdenssamfundet, må vi derfor starte med at forbedre os selv. Hvis du har iagttaget sunde familier, vil du altid have set tre kvaliteter i dem: Kærlighed, trofasthed og korrekthed. Når vi sandt elsker andre, er vi naturligt venlige, milde og tålmodige over for dem. Når vi er trofaste mod andre, sætter vi rette principper og adfærdsmønstre over midlertidige påvirkninger som vrede, begær og begærlighed. Og når vi praktiserer korrekthed, nærer vi åndeligt os selv og dem omkring os. Når alle tre kvaliteter dyrkes, springer en sund familie naturligt frem. Forskellen mellem at hykle disse idealer og praktisere dem er dybtliggende. Forfægter du høje idealer og handlinger over for andre, men ikke selv udmønter dem, vil din indflydelse smuldre pga. et manglende, ret fundament. Derfor må du, for at fremelske højerestående kvaliteter i andre, først indbygge dem i dig selv. Koncentrer dig ikke om at påvirke andre eller ydre begivenheder, men på at styrke din indre hengivenhed over for rette principper. Når beskedenhed, accept, sindsligevægt og mildhed bliver dybt rodfæstede i din karakter, vil de til stadighed flyde ud fra dig. Snart vil du finde dig selv indviklet i et net af sunde forhold, og i disse vil der være gunstig skæbne. Generelt Åben og respektfuld kommunikation er nøglen til at få et team til at arbejde med succes. Kærlighed Kommunikationen skal være oprigtig hvis den skal gavne dit forhold. Forretning Undgå misforståelser i dine forretninger ved at sikre, at den enkelte fuldt ud forstår hans eller hendes rolle. Personligt Sørg for at du klart og effektivt kommunikerer med dem, der er vigtige for dig.

 

Kommentar From the book I Ching. The hexagram represents the laws obtaining within the family. The strong line at the top represents the father, the lowest the son. The strong line in the fifth place represents the husband, the yielding second line the wife. On the other hand, the two strong lines in the fifth and the third place represent two brothers, and the two weak lines correlated with them in the fourth and the second place stand for their respective wives. Thus all the connections and relationships within the family find their appropriate expression. Each individual line has the character according with its place. The fact that a strong line occupies the sixth place-where a weak line might be expected-indicates very clearly the strong leadership that must come from the head of the family. The line is to be considered here not in its quality as the sixth but in its quality as the top line. THE FAMILY shows the laws operative within the household that, transferred to outside life, keep the state and the world in order. The influence that goes out from within the family is represented by the symbol of the wind created by fire.

Hexagrammet repræsenterer de love, der gælder inden for familien. Den stærke linje øverst repræsenterer faderen, det laveste søn. Den stærke linje i femte sted repræsenterer mand, den eftergivende anden linje konen. På den anden side, de to stærke linjer i den femte og det tredje repræsenterer to brødre, og de to svage linjer korreleret med dem i fjerde og det andet står for deres respektive koner. Således alle forbindelser og relationer i familien finde passende udtryk. Hver enkelt linie har karakter ifølge med sin plads. Det forhold, at et stærkt line indtager den sjetteplads-hvor der kan være en svag linje forventes-angiver meget tydeligt den stærkt lederskab, der skal komme fra lederen af familien. Linjen skal betragtes her ikke i dets kvalitet som den sjette, men i sin kvalitet som den øverste linie. FAMILIEN viser lovene operative i husstanden der, overføres til udendørs liv, holde staten og verden for. Den indflydelse, som går ud fra inden for familien er repræsenteret af symbolet af vinden skabt af ild.

Nine at the beginning means: Firm seclusion within the family. Remorse disappears.

The family must form a well-defined unit within which each member knows his place. From the beginning each child must be accustomed to firmly established rules of order, before ever its will is directed to other things. If we begin too late to enforce order, when the will of the child has already been overindulged, the whims and passions, grown stronger with the years, offer resistance and give cause for remorse. If we insist on order from the outset, occasions for remorse may arise-in general social life these are unavoidable-but the remorse always disappears again, and everything rights itself. For there is nothing easily avoided and more difficult to carry through than ‘breaking a child’s will’.

Der må være fasthed, hvis forhold skal lykkes. Giver vi efter for egoets krav og anfald af humørsyge, vil der opstå ulykke. Vi har fremgang, når vi møder andre på halvvejen – hverken mere eller mindre.

Six in the second place means: She should not follow her whims. She must attend within to the food. Perseverance brings good fortune.

The wife must always be guided by the will of the master of the house, be he father, husband, or grown son. There, without having to look for them, she has great and important duties. She must attend to the nourishment of her family and to the food for the sacrifice. IN this way she becomes the center of the social and religious life of the family, and her perseverance in this position brings good fortune to the whole house. In relation to general conditions, the counsel here is to seek nothing by means of force, but quietly to confine oneself to the duties at hand.

Søg ikke indflydelse gennem magt eller aggressive handlinger. Træng i stedet blidt igennem ved at fastholde korrekte tanker.

Nine in the third place means: When tempers flare up in the family too great severity brings remorse. Good fortune nonetheless. When woman and child dally and laugh it leads in the end to humiliation.

In the family the proper mean between severity and indulgence ought to prevail. Too great severity toward one’s own flesh and blood leads to remorse. The wise thing is to build strong dikes within which complete freedom of movement is allowed each individual. But in doubtful instances too great severity, despite occasional mistakes, is preferable, because it preserves discipline in the family, whereas too great weakness leads to disgrace.

Korrigerende foranstaltninger skal være fast, men ikke for stor – selv om det er bedre at være for fast end for slap. Selv om det er vigtigt ikke at overspise dem i din gruppe, er det også vigtigt ikke at komme ned for hårdt på dem, når tingene går skævt. Overdreven sværhedsgrad vil medføre beklagelse. Det bedste er at oprette faste grænser, inden for hvilke gruppemedlemmer er tilladt total bevægelsesfrihed.

Six in the fourth place means: She is the treasure of the house. Great good fortune.

It is upon the woman of the house that the well-being of the family depends. Well-being prevails when expenditures and income are soundly balanced. This leads to great good fortune. In the sphere of public life, this line refers to the faithful steward whose measures further the general welfare.

Vellykket binding er hjulpet af den dæmpende indflydelse i gruppen. Balancing af indtægter og udgifter bringer lykke.

Nine in the fifth place means: As a king he approaches his family. Fear not. Good fortune.

A king is the symbol of a fatherly man who is richly endowed in mind. He does nothing to make himself feared; on the contrary, the whole family can trust him, because love governs their intercourse. His character of itself exercises the right influence.

Når du er i en position af autoritet, det fremmer en at være kærlig og troværdig snarere end fed og inkonsekvent. For eksempel, når forældre vælger kærligheden som den sande centrum for familielivet, hele verden er klar til at reagere med velvilje

Nine at the top means: His work commands respect. In the end good fortune comes.

In the last analysis, order within the family depends on the character of the master of the house. If he cultivates his personality so that it works impressively through the force of inner truth, all goes well with the family. In a ruling position one must of his own accord assume responsibility.

Hvis du er beslutsomt korrekt i såvel tanke som handling, vil skæbnen være gunstig. Kraften i indre styrke og godhed trækker andre og det Skabende mod vor side.
