Why did the ancients know everything about the universe by gossip?
Eight Diagrams represent China's early philosophical thoughts. Besides divination and geomantic omen, its influence involves Chinese medicine, martial arts, music and mathematics.
Congenital eight diagrams usually appear with Taiji diagrams. Taiji and Wuji represent the ultimate noumenon "Tao" of China's traditional beliefs (Confucianism and Taoism).
Gua-shaped memory song: In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi wrote "The Eight Diagrams Taking Images Song" in The Original Meaning of Zhouyi to help people remember the Gua-shaped memory: three consecutive lines of work, six broken lines of Kun; Shake the jar and cover the bowl; Empty from the middle, full from the middle; Exchange the deficiency, exchange the deficiency and break it. Types of gossip: divided into innate gossip, Zhongtian gossip and acquired gossip.
Yin and Yang of the Eight Diagrams: Gan, Zhen, Kan and Gen are four Yang hexagrams, while Kun, Xun, Li and Hui are four Yin hexagrams.
the five elements of gossip: only the five elements of the day after tomorrow: dry and exchange are gold, Kun and gen are earth, shock and worry are wood, ridge is water, and separation is fire.
Eight Diagrams with Nine Palaces: there are congenital collocation, acquired collocation and Taiyi collocation.
Origin
There are three main theories about the origin of the Eight Diagrams:
1. Fuxi painted the Eight Diagrams in the Guatai Mountain, and later there were Fuxi painting platforms in Tianshui, Gansu and Henan. Gua Tai Mountain, also known as Gua Tai, is said to be the place where Fu Xishi began to draw eight diagrams by observing astronomy and geography. It is located at the northern end of Sanyang West Sichuan and now governs Weinan Town, Maiji District. Of course, many modern scholars don't believe it, thinking that later generations entrusted some inventions to ancient celebrities; In addition, belonging to the Qingdun site in Hai 'an County, eastern Jiangsu Province in the late Neolithic period, eight hexagrams were unearthed in 1979. In the ancient environment with sparse population, numerous tribes and poor communication tools, it takes a long process for culture to spread to the distant eastern Jiangsu.
2. Zhang Zhengxuan's divination theory evolved into eight diagrams in multiple steps: his article "A Trial Interpretation of Yi Gua in Bronze Inscriptions in the Early Zhou Dynasty" studied a number of digital hexagrams unearthed in the 2th century, and thought that there were a large number of divination (digital hexagrams) at first, then it was simplified into several divination numbers, and then it was simplified from these few specific values in the Warring States Period (from one to six). This theory is in great contradiction with the records of some ancient books and has great influence.
3. Liu Linying's astronomical hexagrams evolved into the Eight Diagrams Theory: His "New Solution to the Mystery of the Origin of the Book of Changes" expounded the theory of the six hexagrams system, and thought that the hexagrams originated from the prediction activities of astronomers' measuring tools. The initial hexagrams were six hexagrams system, without divination and deviation, and later evolved into the Eight Diagrams system. The important evidence is that the six hexagrams system (such as Three Yin San Yang) is the backbone theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which can not be explained by the Eight Diagrams, and the six hexagrams system. Later, the paper "A Textual Research on the Use of Six Images in Digital Divination in Shang and Zhou Dynasties" denied that Yi divination originated from the divination theory, and demonstrated that the divination method of four images was based on six images thousands of years before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty dominated. The complicated divination number was only the number of six images and their changes, and the six images of Yin and Yang were essentially
These three statements are relatively powerful, and there are many opinions. For example, Liu Jue put forward the theory of Guiying in 1946, arguing that gossip originated from Tugui recording the shadow of the sun; Feng Youlan believes that the Eight Diagrams come from imitating the tortoise omen of divination, which is a standardized "omen". Similarly, Qu Wanli's Yi Gua comes from the tortoise divination theory; Li Jingchi believes that the ancients recorded the number of divination by knotting rope, which was later transformed into gossip. The source of this statement is to speculate on the ancient book name Ba Suo. Wang Ningsheng's gossip originated from Yi people's Leifuzi. Some guesses are completely unfounded. Comparatively speaking, Huang Yilu thinks that Yi Gua originated from the chicken divination culture of the pre-Yue descendants of Zhuang nationality. Although the discussion of several key links is weak, it is still being discussed and has certain basis.
these are the eight diagrams' source theories, and the eight diagrams' source theories are the contents of another entry: eight diagrams.

Guaxiang
Guaxiang, also known as quasi-elephant, is a symbolic type rather than a single body. It is easy to set words according to images, and the number of images is the basis of righteousness. The Book of Changes, the Book of Changes, and the plum blossom easy-to-break method are all broken by images, and it is easy to be like a vast number. The specific method depends on the problem items and determines a small range.
