Hexagram 37 – The Family [The Clan] – Rich I Ching

“Pursuing an Illusion” – The Essence of Feng Huo Jia Ren (Wind and Fire – Family) in the I Ching

This phrase describes a person looking into a mirror while combing their hair and seeing a beautiful flower reflected in it. Captivated by its beauty,

they reach out to grasp it, only to find that it is unattainable. This hexagram is an omen of chasing illusions.

The flower blooms beautifully in the mirror, but it cannot be plucked. The message here is clear: let the illusion be, for not everything can be arranged to perfection.

If one comes from a humble background and dreams of marrying into royalty, the pursuit may be nothing more than a fantasy.

“Do not chase the reflection of the moon in the water.” Some aspirations, while enticing, may be beyond reach.

The Role of Family in Stability and Success

The word “family”  signifies one’s household. In traditional wisdom, family management originates from the role of women in maintaining domestic harmony. To govern a household well, one must instill discipline early, ensuring that children do not grow idle but are guided from a young age. A household with order will have a stable foundation.

Managing a family requires seriousness, fairness, and integrity. A peaceful and harmonious home begins with self-cultivation. If one upholds morality and righteousness, they will earn respect. “If you cannot convince your own family, how can you persuade the world?”

From a financial perspective, your family plays a crucial role in your wealth and business endeavors. Those closest to you are often the key supporters in your entrepreneurial journey, contributing labor, resources, and capital. Only when your business becomes a shared vision with your family will it truly thrive. To achieve success, maintain harmony, happiness, and unity within your household.
