Difficult. Intention is carried out in the implementation of retention. You can not go any. It is useful to identify areas of influence.

Sign Zhuan quandary — the third in the "change" and is following the signs QIAN / Sky and Kun / Earth. In the "Traditions of the sequence of characters" states: There is a Heaven and Earth, are born from this set of entities that fill the space between them. Therefore, they are perceived sign CHUNG quandary. The creative impulse of Heaven, the sign is taken QIAN embodiment, the sign Kun, and begin to develop the set of entities and objects. That quandary is — is the process of filling, is the beginning of birth of the object.

Hiero Zhun back to the image of the germ, sprouting from the earth. The mechanism of life, including, always accompanied by a strong chaotic impulses breaking the inertia of the environment through its fullness. But despite the abundance of energy, the initial period is always extremely difficult and full of dangers. He is like a herald of future spring at the end of the harsh winter cold. Life begins to boil, his will is strong, clean and straight, so the sign CHUNG there are four basic qualities of cyclical development: the intention, the conductivity, implementation and retention. Despite the overcrowding of vitality, an emerging body is still fragile and small, and we are not talking about his great application, which is expressed in the text of the Book of Changes "with the following words:" You can not go any. "This is a warning against the rash and hasty steps, instead of who should be quietly and cautiously to expect the possibility of actions in time. As soon as the germ, it has been laid to continuous growth and unlimited prospects. Therefore, will the benefits of building long—term and large—scale strategies.

Sign Zhuan describes the difficulties of the initial development of the situation. Once, while at the beginning, you clearly define the scope of its interest and to fully think through the strategy of application of forces, thus you establish the area of influence. China in the era of the Shang and Zhou unit consisted of the principalities and when the new prince of Wei took the board, this was done by the will of the Son of Heaven and is defined as the establishment of the Board that in today's reality corresponds to the designation of a particular piece of work. Thus, forecast the sign indicates the beginning of the case, when you are overwhelmed with grandiose plans and high hopes, but at the same time, you do not know how to approach the case and how to begin. And although your efforts are constantly hampered by the resistance of the environment, conditions are difficult and the path now and then lost sight of the need to steadfastly pursue its goals. As the saying goes, "step is the hardest — the beginning" and it is precisely in the sign of this. Persistence and tenacity are an essential condition for success.

In China they say that in troubled times a lot of heroes. After all, for a dark age is characterized by disorientation and confusion in the cases — everything changes, but these changes are an infinite number of possibilities, and the ability to grasp new opportunities and use them in their own interests precisely distinguishes the characters. Often these heroes and became the founders of the new imperial dynasties — Han, Liu Bang, who became Emperor Gao Zu, Emperor Guan Wu named Liu Xu, veysky Cao Cao, as well as the first Tang Emperor, Li Shih—Min, the first Sung Emperor Zhao Kuang Yin, the first Ming emperor Zhu Yuan-Zhang — they all appeared in troubled times. If they happen to live in a quiet and peaceful time, a heroic capacity would not be realized. Thus Liu Bang in the early years of their long wandering, Liu Xiu was a wealthy landowner, Cao Cao was a prominent official, Li Shi—Ming belonged to a noble prince's family, and Liu Bei weaving straw sandals, Zhu Yuan-Zhang was a peddler and comply with laws, differing savage manners. That is, when in society there is order and stability, the heroes are not needed, but in times of dashing life gives them a position to apply. But for us ordinary mortals, the case also there is the whole point is whether we can grasp it by the tail. Of course, for most people the initial period of chaos and uncertainty is a serious challenge, which may end in defeat. Surging waves in a storm brought on shore sand, from which then shape the future of beaches, and among millions of ordinary sand found inclusions of gold and other precious metals.

The initial period of development — always during quenching. Potentially, everyone can achieve success, but in reality come to the finish line unit. Determine at the start of the future strategy and accurate way of breakthrough strategy helps mark CHUNG initial difficulties. Thus, in the "comments structural states that hardness and softness of its connections, causing difficulty. Thunder and rain begin to move, filling. Sky s in the darkness of chaos, it is necessary to establish the area of influence and cope with the lack of rest. That is, chaos and disorder — the most proper time to establish a new order.

Commentary on "great way" states: Clouds and Thunder — Difficult. A wise ruler, seeing this reminds me of the need to see the exact location of the threads in the fabric of life. That is, being in the middle of chaos and confusion, you should understand how to line up in the structure of the ideal and the real power and to establish the exact area of his future influence.

Thus, the optimal strategy in the situation following initial difficulties

1. The initial stage of development similar confused coil strands, each of which — a possible way, seducing their prospects. This is the first test, when it is necessary to adhere to accepted once solutions, accurately calculate the forces, not to succumb to doubt and not lose heart.

2. In the confusing and difficult situation, the problems accumulate, clinging to one another. But it is the time necessary to concentrate all their strength and stand firm on his. We can not allow someone else to pressure to break your will, you can not retreat and become attracted easily questionable roads. Get ready for what is in front of a very long way to the end of which you're sure to find what you are looking for. In 1927, when the Kuomintang began fighting against the future of the revolution, she was, in fact, defeated. At that time, many did not survive and left the army, but there were those who continued to move forward through all the trials and, ultimately, long way in twenty years has brought them victory. An earlier example: the leaders of the peasant uprising Li Tzu-Cheng and Chang Hsien-jung surrendered Ming. However, a temporary setback did not break the will of the fighters, and, having gained enough strength and waiting for the opportune moment to once again raise the flag and score in the drums, in the end, they achieved victory.

3. Since the initial development of force is often limited, especially important to accurately calculate their actions. Any error here is fraught with catastrophic consequences. Therefore, when the situation is not clear and you have not yet decided on prospects, you must carefully analyze all the information to build the right strategy. Do not headlong rush into dubious ventures, hoping to force their way through obstacles, not seeing the goal and not having a clear plan of action.

When, in recent years, the rebellion of Wang Mang (early I century BC. E., The Han dynasty), he attacked the army green forest in Kunming (modern Henan province, county Esyan) occurred within the disengagement: Liu Yin was killed, and Liu Hsiu fell under suspicion . Liu Hsiu knew that his strength is small, and the slightest indiscretion might bring upon him the same fate that fell out of his older brother, and if the day he will reveal his cards, then in the evening did not prevent him crying. So he planned a very cunning strategy. When the Army green forests attacked Chang'an, Liu Xiu, as the chief commander, kept Luoyang. He collected detailed information and knew that in Hebei big troubles, similar to a flock of dragons without heads, but also in internal army green forest, too, reigned confusion and vacillation. And when the emperor Liu Xuan sent him to pacify Hebei Province, he took the opportunity and darted through the crossing on the Yellow River in Hebei. Have pity on a rash decision, the emperor sent people to pursue it, but it was too late — in Hebei, Liu Xu won a stable and steady position and to fully withdraw from the influence of the emperor. Liu Hsiu knew when to take and when — to throw properly seized the opportunity and went out of the dangerous situation winner.

4. In the situation of the difficulties when there is no possibility to move and no to retreat, better still move. If you take decisive action, we can break through the barriers as too long inaction could cause uhushenie situation. If you dread to cross the river due to the fact that you do not know its depth, and waiting until it obmeleet, you can always stay on shore.

Cao Cao (the era of the Three Kingdoms, II—III century BC. E.) In the late Eastern Han Dynasty and a half years struggled with Yuan Shao River Guandu (modern Henan Province). Although Cao Cao's forces for the offensive were small and lacked a constant supply, a retreat for him was too humiliating. So he hesitated and lingered with the retreat in Xuchang. And adviser Qiu Yu Cao Cao dissuaded from retreat, believing that after fifteen years of confrontation, when the forces on both sides exhausted, the situation must be about to occur, and that it is necessary to use unusual activity. Cao followed his advice: entering the new system, he stabilized the emotional state of the army, while the army of Yuan Shao relaxed. In addition, he launched a surprise attack, which resulted in Yuan Shao had lost all its provisions, and his soldiers lost their fighting spirit. Then again sharply attacked and defeated by Yuan Shao.

5. When you act alone, without support, securely cemented his position, Bring safety and only then start the development. In the early Western Han dynasty, the future emperor Liu Bang was not yet ready for an open confrontation with those in power are Xiang yu. However Adviser Xiang Yu, Fang Zeng, already realized that Liu Bang — a dangerous opponent, and Xiang Yu was encouraged to destroy it, to avoid future catastrophe. When Liu Bang became aware of this, he skillfully used the weakness of character Xiang Yu, placing it to themselves and to weaken all the contradictions. He agreed with the status of the ruler of the county and went Hanzhong, and in his behavior signaling that he has no intention to move to the east. This strategy gave Liu Banu opportunity to preserve the strength to subsequently attach Hanxing and Shandong, which was the first step to the destruction of Xiang Yu.

6. If you have sufficient self-control and patience to wait for the opportune time to attack, you must use it with determination. Fluke appears and disappears in an instant, and here the delay is like death. The only unused to be a mess of things.

Before the Battle of Guandu in Yuan Shao was an opportunity to attack Cao Cao, who heard about the revolt of Liu Bai, wanted to break it, because I knew that if this is not done now, then later will be a challenge. The danger that Yuan Shao, taking advantage of this opportunity to introduce troops, was great. However, the advisor Jia Guo made the following analysis: Yuan Shao by nature a slow and a lot of doubts, and Liu Bei has not yet won the love and acceptance of people and, if easily attack him, you can win. After listening to him, Cao Cao moved his forces to the east. At the same time, the dignitary Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, exhorted his sovereign take this opportunity to attack Cao Cao back. However, Yuan Shao's son fell ill and he did not follow the plan, Tien Feng, missed a good opportunity, which subsequently led to his death.
