明夷 Ming Yi

明夷利艱貞
光明隕落消失，利於艱難環境中堅守正道

Ming YI

The light has sunk into the earth.
The image of darkening of the light.
Thus does the superior man live with the great mass.
He veils his light, yet still shines.

這是以易經為出發的創作。易經是古代用於占卜，對未知事情尋求解答的一個方法。

歷史受到政權的刻意操作，掩蓋真相，就如同面對未來般無法預測。

影片中藉由易經、宗教、民俗信仰相結合的意象，

以呈現回到過往尋找事件發生的真實樣貌。

希望藉由環境汙染、官商勾結、司法迫害的事件來喚起大眾對生活周遭發生的事情持續關注，如同明夷掛本身，雖身處在黑暗未知的時刻，

仍堅持自身，等待光明到來的一天。

P.S. 製作拜神呀、陰陽時，算是實驗性創作，最後才結合起來完成這部小短片

This film is inspired by "I Ching( the Book of Changes )", which is used to augur, a way of seeking answers to the unknown future.

Sometimes what's happening is as obscure as future when it's manipulated by the authorities.
The story is about uncover the truth through traveling back in time, it combines "I Ching", religion and folk belief rituals.
Hope to raise people's attention on public issues, such as pollution, judicial persecution, and official in cahoots with the business.

Like Ming YI, a hexagram from "I Ching", "one must not unresistingly let himself be swept along by unfavorable circumstances,
nor permit his steadfastness to be shaken. He can avoid this by maintaining his inner light,
while remaining outwardly yielding and tractable. With this attitude he can overcome even the greatest adversities."

p.s. This work is develop from 拜神呀 and 陰陽 these two experimental creations.
