Five kinds of ominous are "harming others and benefiting themselves, ominous"; Abandoning the old and drawing the new, the family is ominous; Unscrupulous release of sages is an ominous country; Old people don't teach, young people don't learn, vulgar and ominous. Sages hide, fools gain power, and the world is ominous.
1. "It's ominous to harm others' interests", which means that harming others' interests will bring disaster to yourself.
2. "Abandoning the old and raising the young is unlucky at home" means that if you don't take care of the old and concentrate on raising the young, your family will be unlucky. However, at present, most of our families are children-centered and lack care for the elderly.
The third ominous premonition is that "it is not good to use sages, and the country is ominous." Ren Xian is private, adulterer and thief, which is an ominous sign for the country.
The fourth ominous is "old people don't teach, young people don't learn, vulgar and ominous". Experienced people don't want to teach inexperienced people, teachers don't want to teach apprentices, and apprentices don't want to ask the master humbly. This is an ominous trend.
The fifth ominous sign is "the sage hides, the fool is in power, and the world is ominous." People with great wisdom live in seclusion and are unwilling to serve the world, while those in power are those who have no real talent and practical learning and work hard. This is the misfortune of the world.
Confucius means that it doesn't matter whether Feng Shui is good or not. Truly blessed people, even if they live in places with bad feng shui, will gradually transform the bad feng shui.
