变爻解读 Interpretation
解读层 / Interpretation layer: Dao Oracle reflective commentary, not direct classical quotation.
三爻变动，高宗讨伐鬼方历经三年方胜。既济之后守成之战艰苦漫长，绝不可用小人。变为水雷屯卦，暗示守成比创业更需慎重用人。
The third line changing: the Illustrious Ancestor conquered the hostile land after three years of war. Defending what has been achieved is a long and hard struggle — petty people must never be employed. Transforming into Difficulty at the Beginning suggests that maintaining success requires even more careful selection of people than building it.
