Stem represents celestial bodies such as the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars, while Kun represents the earth, mountains, rivers and creatures. In ancient natural philosophy, Gankun is regarded as the basic element of the universe and the source of the generation, movement and change of all things in the world. In Confucian culture, morality, justice and fairness are emphasized, while Kun represents kindness, care and fraternity. The blending and balance of Gankun is one of the basic values that Confucianism attaches importance to and pursues.
Gan Kun has symbolic significance in human society and management. For example, when the ancient emperor ascended the throne, he used "Gankun analysis" to determine good or bad luck. In addition, in management science, "gan" often appears in the form of "gang", representing rights, rules and disciplines, while "Kun" appears in the form of "soft", representing managers' care, consideration, sympathy and tolerance.

Gan Kun plays a very important role in Feng Shui. Feng Shui believes that the universe consists of nine links, of which the stem is the first and Kun is the eighth, representing the eyes and abdomen respectively. When arranging living or office space, we should take into account the balance of yin and yang and the interaction between cadres and Kun, so as to obtain a good living and working environment.

Gankun has become one of the symbols of traditional culture in China, which is widely used in cultural carriers such as calligraphy and painting, Chinese characters, architecture, opera and flags.
3. Management rules
Gan Kun also has great application value in the field of management, especially in organizational management, leadership exploration and training. For example, the theory of "the right to do Xiang Kun" is put forward, and the balance and coordination among authority, discipline and care are emphasized according to the circular law of natural ecology and human nature, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the organization.
