变爻解读 Interpretation
解读层 / Interpretation layer: Dao Oracle reflective commentary, not direct classical quotation.
五爻变动，东邻宰牛大祭不如西邻薄祭来得诚心。真诚的小祭胜过铺张的大祭，内在的诚意比外在的排场重要。变为地火明夷卦，暗示真诚朴素的心在光明被伤之时尤显珍贵。
The fifth line changing: the eastern neighbor's grand ox sacrifice does not match the western neighbor's simple offering in real blessing. Sincere small offerings surpass extravagant ones — inner devotion matters more than outward display. Transforming into Darkening of the Light suggests that genuine simplicity is most precious when brightness is wounded.
