What does news mean? More specifically, why does the interest rate of Yijing mean growth?
Kun Gua is pure Yin, which is the time when Yin Qi is extremely abundant and Yang Qi is exhausted. After divination, the sun's spirit began to be born, which is the time for the sun's spirit to recover. When divination and sun be the spirit coexist, it is when the sun be the spirit becomes stronger and stronger. Thai divination, three yang opening Thai, is a time of strong yang and vitality. The strong divination is strong and powerful, and the sun's spirit has begun to show signs of being too strong. Five yang is too strong, yang is too heavy and unbalanced. Dry divination and pure yang are the sources of yang.
The above is the process of yin eliminating yang, with yin decreasing and yang growing. From the beginning of divination, it is the process of yang destroying yin. Dry and pure yang is the time when the yang is extremely strong and the yin is exhausted. Divination begins with Yin, and Yin Qi meets Yang first. The divination is all cloudy and long, the villain gradually gains power, and the gentleman should be far away. Negative divination and three yin control the situation, the villain is long and the gentleman is gone. Seeing hexagrams is all yin, and yang is very depressed. Stripping hexagrams, five yin and one yang, the yang is dying after being peeled off layer by layer, and it is in danger of extinction at any time. The pure yin of Kun Gua is the source of Yin Qi.
This is the twelve hexagrams of news, also known as the twelve hexagrams, representing the restoration and interest-bearing of yin and yang. Yi-ology in the Han Dynasty was keen on the study of hexagrams, that is, twelve news hexagrams were used to explain the changes of solar terms in a year, and the representatives were Meng Qian and Jing Fang in the Western Han Dynasty. Later generations believe that the twelve hexagrams were created by Meng Qian. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. The concept and principle of twelve hexagrams exist impressively in the Book of Changes, and its correspondence with twelve months in a year has a long history, which is obviously not Meng Xi's invention. Meng Qian studied under Tian He, the sixth generation disciple of Confucius, so he knew the twelve messages in the Book of Changes. He just promoted it.
The twelve information hexagrams represent the twelve months of a year, the complex hexagrams represent the November of the lunar calendar when the sun is shining, the temporary hexagrams represent December, the Thai hexagrams represent the first month, and so on. Why do you say that November is Yang's birthday? Because the solstice in winter 1 1 month is the shortest sunshine and the longest night in the whole year. Since then, the days have become longer and the spirit of the sun has gradually picked up (the temperature is lagging behind and still falling). Similarly, the solstice in summer is a turning point, when the spirit of the sun begins to decline from its peak. The summer solstice is in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, corresponding to hexagrams.
