What are the eight-character fortune-telling books of Zhouyi?
Beginners:
Hong Pimo's ancient fortune-telling in China
Chen Yuan introduced Shao Weihua's four pillars forecast.
Shao Weihua's "Four Pillars and Eight Characters Prediction"
Of the three books, Hong Pimo's China Ancient Fortune Telling is the best. Although Chen Yuan is a student in Shao Weihua, he is ahead of Shao Weihua's books because his writing style is better and his reasoning is simpler.
I think beginners should first master some basic concepts in eight-character numerology, and understanding and mastering these basic concepts is the key to learning eight-character well.
In these books introduced earlier, it is very important to master concepts when learning. There are a lot of criticisms about Shao Weihua's book in the society now, but in any case, Shao Weihua's introduction book of eight characters is an "excerpt" version of the eight characters in Three Children's Songs, which can let beginners know the basic inference principles and principles of eight characters.
Must-read books in the primary stage after entry
1, (Qing) Comments on the True Interpretation of Ziping by Shen Xiaozhan
2. (Song) "Yuan Hai Zi Ping"
3. The Origin of Ancient Numerology by Yuan Shushan.
4. Talk about the key to nature.
At this stage, it is important to deepen the understanding of the five elements, and at the same time master the concepts, images and characteristics of the branches and branches, and gradually form a mindset of transforming understanding problems with the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang. Don't mix other books at this stage to avoid confusion, which is also one of the biggest common problems for many beginners. For example, when judging the love of God, due to the poor grasp of the concept, biochemistry and characteristics of the five elements, the views are confused, and the more you look at the same person, the more confused you are. It is really "after reading a mountain book (note: geography book), you will get lost when you go up the mountain", and many Yi scholars will never learn it again at this stage.
Compulsory book for intermediate stage
1, (Ming) Liu Ji's "Descending the Sky"
2. Xu "Notes on Falling Eyes"
3. (Ming) "Shenfeng Tongkao"
4. Wei Qianli's A Thousand Miles of Life
5. Yuan Shushan's life spectrum
6. Hong Pimo's "Top Ten Predictions of Ancient China"
7. (Qing) Qianlong compiled Qin Ding Xie Jifang Book.
This stage focuses on strengthening the abstract understanding of the eight-character numerology, mastering how to treat the eight-character numerology from various angles, and trying to analyze the correlation between the independent basic concepts learned from the above books and other concepts, so as to be able to use various concepts flexibly and gradually realize that all these concepts are actually some form of expression in the biochemical five elements. At this point, your level of learning eight-character numerology is basically a master.
Among the above-mentioned books, Hong Pimo's Top Ten Prophecy Stories in Ancient China covers several important articles in ancient eight-character numerology, such as Li's Letters on Li's Life, Chen Su 'an's Covenant on Numerology in Qing Dynasty, and Poor Guide with few singles; Qin Ding Xie Ji Debate, edited by Gan in Qing Dynasty, is a timely book, but you can find many explanations about the concept of eight-character branches, the reasoning of those eight-character songs summarized by later scholars, and the reasoning basis.
