How to remember the sixty-four hexagrams

Qian: Jie Dunduo Guan Pei Jin Youkan: Jietun is destroyed, Fengyi Shigen: Ben is greatly damaged, Lufu is gradually shaken: Yujie Hengshengjing passes Suixun: Xiaojiayi has no swallowing armor Gu Li: Lu Ding has not been summoned to sue Ren Kun: The return of Tai Zhuang Wei needs to be compared: Poor sister Xian Jian Qian uses such a poem of seven characters, eight sentences and seven rhymes to memorize the sixty-four hexagrams of the Eight Palaces of Zhouyi. Easy and convenient? The answer should be yes. It is not only convenient for memory, but also convenient for Najia and An Shiying to use when making predictions using the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of Zhouyi, and it is not easy to make mistakes. 1. Principles and methods of writing poems in the eight palaces, sixty-four hexagrams and seven rhymes of the Zhouyi. As we all know, the sixty-four hexagrams are a combination of the eight single hexagrams of the Bagua, or it can be said to have evolved from the eight pure compound hexagrams. Fuxi’s Bagua azimuth map is also known as “Innate Bagua”, and Wenwang’s Bagua azimuth map is also known as “Acquired Bagua”. The sixty-four hexagrams of the Eight Palaces are arranged in a clockwise direction from Qian to Dui using the Eight Diagrams of King Wen and Houtian.

The eight single hexagrams can be memorized by the image of "Qian three links, Kun six breaks, Zhen Yang Yu, Gen cover bowl, Li Zhongxu, Kanzhong full, Dui Shangqiu, Xun Xiaxia break". "Acquired Bagua", that is, the direction of "King Wen Bagua" comes from Luo Shu. If you study the "Book of Changes" and learn that it needs to be applied in a certain aspect, and if it is used effectively, you must study the Acquired Bagua in particular. "Innate Bagua" It is equivalent to indicating the big phenomenon of the formation of the universe. The "Huntian Bagua" is the law that explains the changes and applications within the universe. From the above picture, we can see that the positions of the Houtian Bagua are in the north, Li Gua in the south and Zhen Gua. In the east, opposite to the Zhen Gua is the Dui Gua in the west, the Xun Gua in the southeast, the Gen Gua in the northeast, the Kun Gua in the southwest, and the Qian Gua in the northwest. The ancients like Zhuge Liang were able to put the acquired eight trigrams and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches into place. On the fingers of the left hand, the position of the Bagua row is as follows: Qian Gua is placed on the root node of the ring finger, Kan Gua is placed on the root node of the middle finger, Gen Gua is placed on the root node of the index finger, Zhen Gua is placed on the middle node of the index finger, and Zhen Gua is placed on the tip of the index finger. The tip of the middle finger is the hexagram of Xun, the tip of the middle finger is the hexagram of Li, the tip of the ring finger is the hexagram of Kun, and the middle part of the ring finger is the hexagram of Dui. Remember the Houtian Bagua on this finger. Pay attention to remembering several numbers at the same time. The method is to use the following four lines of lyrics and recite them to make it easier to remember: "One number is Kanxi, two number is Kun, three vibrations and four sundas are in the middle, five are in the palace and six are in the middle, seven are in eight and nine are in the door. " From this ballad, we can see the wisdom of the ancient educational methods. After writing such complicated and difficult-to-remember things into rhymes, they can be sung. It is not only easy to learn and memorize, but also easy to use. Looking at the numbers from the picture, it seems very It’s messy. In fact, if you study it carefully, it’s not messy at all. Try taking this Bagua circle, adding a few lines, and changing it into a square diagram: Judging from the position of this diagram, the sum of any two opposite hexagrams will be the sum of ten. In terms of numbers, if you include the five in the center, the sum of the horizontal, straight, and oblique grids in any row is fifteen, and the two hexagrams add up to ten, so the Chinese and Indians, Even Catholics put their palms together when saluting. Numbers are a scientific thing, and there are many truths in them. Don’t underestimate it, we can use this number arrangement to guide things. It is useful for managing personnel, handling housework, driving, and even Western boxing. This is the reason for using it, not superstition. How should we start to learn the symbols and numbers of the "Yi" from which the sixty-four hexagrams are derived? The sixty-four hexagrams are recited silently, but this is very difficult, but if you can spare ten to fifteen minutes every day and sit in the bus to recite them, you can recite general articles and commentaries silently in three weeks. , it is good to describe, every sentence makes sense, and it is easy to recite silently; the eight trigrams of the Eight Diagrams include Qian Sanlian, Kun Liudu, Zhenyang Yu, Gen Covering Bowl, Li Zhongxu, Kanzhong Full, Dui Shangqiu, and Xunxia Xiadu. The hexagrams are rhymes and are easy to recite silently. As for the eight and sixty-four hexagrams, it is difficult to see from the history of Chinese academics. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was no order of hexagrams. "Jing", there is no order of hexagrams to be followed, and it is even more difficult to remember. It was only after the Song Dynasty that this order was listed. There is a certain reason for the arrangement of each hexagram. Eight hexagrams were changed, and the eight hexagrams became sixty-four hexagrams, just like the change of the Qian hexagram: Qian is the sky, Qian is the name of the hexagram, then Tianfengjiao, why is Tianfengjiao next? There are rules and secrets among them. If you master these rules and secrets, it will be easy to understand, memorize and apply. This means that you must first understand the principles. Once you understand the principles, it will be easy to recite. Like this Sanqian Gua, counting from bottom to top, there are three. Yao, named Sanyao Gua, is the drawing method of Xiantian Gua, it is the hexagram drawn by Fu Xi, and it is also the beginning of Chinese writing.

These eight patterns are the origin of Chinese characters and the source of Chinese cultural thought. Later, as human society developed and human affairs became more complicated, the three-line hexagram was no longer enough, so it became the six-line hexagram. If the stem is the sky, it is the six-line hexagram. The hexagrams predicted by today's fortune tellers are six-line hexagrams. The acquired hexagrams are all six-line patterns. These six-line hexagrams are very detailed and very scientific. Why use six lines? Because until the modern scientific era, things and physics in the universe did not exceed six stages. All changes can only reach the sixth stage, and the seventh change is the beginning of another situation. Modern science has proven that physical, chemical, electronic, and atomic changes all have six stages. Only chemical changes have seven stages, but the seventh stage of chemistry is dead and useless. Our ancestors' minds were so powerful. There were no instruments at that time. I don't know how they discovered the great principle that everything in the universe will not change in more than six stages. As of today, the collection of cultures all over the world has not exceeded this scope, so only six Yao changes are used the day after tomorrow. This is our modern explanation. According to the ancient explanation, Confucius said in "Xi Zhuan" that the principle of the six Yao is: "The movement of the six Yao is the way of the three poles." What are the "three poles"? They are the three talents of heaven, earth and man. In humanistic culture, people have both male and female, that is to say, there are yang and yin, three talents have yin and yang in opposition, three and two make six. This is the experience report of Confucius, and it has not deviated from his scope for thousands of years. These are what I gained through hardship back then, and now I will no longer take you through those roundabout ways. From my experience, I can find a shortcut that can be used by people who are just beginning to learn "Yi", so that everyone can understand it in a short time, or at least the door can be opened. It should be noted that drawing Bagua starts from the bottom, unlike writing from the top. In Ji Gua, the first line is the yang line, the second line is the yin line, the third line is the yang line, and the fourth line is the yang line. It is the Yin Yao, the fifth Yao is the Yang Yao, the sixth Yao is the Yin Yao, and so on. Studying the "Book of Changes" is not only studying philosophy, but also studying science. Philosophers and scientists ask about everything: "Why?" So why are the hexagrams in the "Book of Changes" drawn like this? The first reason is that when things change in the world, they all change from below, in other words, from the grassroots level; the second reason is that the hexagrams in the "Book of Changes" were originally only three lines, but later they became six lines. There is a distinction: the hexagrams in the lower three lines are inner hexagrams, and the hexagrams in the upper three lines are outer hexagrams. The inner and outer hexagrams are connected. Drawing hexagrams from the bottom also shows that changes in things in the universe start from the inside. For example, when people change, it is the inner thoughts that change first. If there is a problem in a company or institution, there must be an internal problem first. This is also the case for us Chinese. It is said: "Things must rot by themselves, and then insects will grow." Everything starts from internal change, so the hexagram is drawn from bottom to top, from inside to outside. Now that you know these principles, let me tell you how to recite these hexagrams silently. Here you can see a very interesting thing. When reciting silently, on the one hand, you should think of this principle and on the other hand, recite silently, which will be easy. Based on this principle, Teacher Cui condensed the seven changes of each Eight Palace hexagram into a seven-character poem, and condensed the sixty-four hexagrams of the Eight Palaces into a seven-character and eight-sentence seven-character poem. Now please look at the diagram of the hexagrams of different palaces below. The order of the hexagrams of dividing the palaces: Qiankan Genzhen is the fourth palace of yang, Xunli Kundui is the fourth palace of yin, each palace has Yin and Yang Bagua. Let’s first look at the first eight hexagrams of the order of the hexagrams of the palaces: Qian is the sky, Tianfengjie (gou4), Tianshan escapes, heaven and earth are not, wind and earth are viewed, mountains are peeled off, fire and earth advance, fire and sky are abundant. Let’s look at Qian Gua first. We have said that the "Book of Changes" talks about the changing of paths between heaven and earth. Nothing in the universe remains unchanged anytime, anywhere, within time and space. Now, the first line of this Qian hexagram has begun to change. Yang pole and yin arise. When a thing reaches its extreme, it will go downhill. Therefore, in the Chinese philosophy of life, everything is left with a little room. Once it reaches its extreme, it is over. Just like when Yuan Shikai wanted to be emperor, his second son Yuan Kewen wrote a poem to persuade him not to do this. Yuan Shikai was almost angry to death when he saw it. Two sentences in the poem say: "It is pity that there are many winds and rains in high places, so don't go to the top floor of Qiong Tower." It is not allowed to go to the top floor. If you climb to the top like climbing a slope, you must come down. This Qian hexagram is Yang pole. When the first line changes, the Yang pole becomes Yin. The change starts from the inside, so the outer hexagram is still Qian San. The first line of the inner hexagram changes to Yin, and it becomes the Xun hexagram, and Xun is wind, so Become: Tianfeng(姤). Then the second line changed. The outer hexagram was still three stems, and the second line of the inner hexagram became the Gen hexagram. Gen represents the mountain, so it became: Tianshan Escape. If the change continues, the outer hexagram remains unchanged, and the third line of the inner hexagram becomes the three-kun hexagram. Kun represents earth, so it becomes: heaven and earth. In this way, the order is in order at a glance. Once you understand this principle, it will be easier to recite silently.

The best thing is that when the third line changes, the outer hexagram Qian still represents heaven, and the inner hexagram completely changes to Kun hexagram, and Kun hexagram represents earth. If heaven and earth are not, it is bad luck. The philosophy of our ancestors is so wonderful! How wonderful it would be if the heavens and the earth were opened. Western religions believe that God opened the heavens and the earth, created all things, and created humans according to His likeness. How wonderful it would be! But the "Book of Changes" says that this is the opposite. It is not beautiful, and heaven and earth are not the same. If there is no universe, there is no life, and everyone would be free from worries. It would be empty and empty, which would be great. As soon as the heaven, earth and universe were created, they fell in love. Just like a poor boy who only has one steamed bun for tomorrow, he will sleep comfortably at night. If he suddenly has a million in his bag, he will have insomnia at night. The inner hexagram begins to change and changes to the third line, which means that we have an idea in our inner thoughts and want to do something. Step by step, the thought matures and can be developed to the outside. The inner hexagram affects the outer hexagram, and the inner hexagram affects the outer hexagram. When the external environment changed, the external environment was also affected, so the first line of the external hexagram also began to change, and it became: Wind and Earth View, and then the fifth line changed, and it became: Mountain Peeling, and now only the outer hexagram remains After a little Yang, the so-called "only the fruit remains", the Yang energy has been exploited bit by bit, leaving only the last bit of vitality, so it is stripped. If you look at the earth, the ocean is the largest area and the land is the smallest. Mountains occupy a lot of area, exploiting the land that can support human survival. Starting from the original hexagram of Qian hexagram, to Pei hexagram, six hexagrams have appeared. If the changes continue, the seventh hexagram will be produced. So this time of change, the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed any further. If it is changed again, If it changes upward, it is very simple. It becomes the Kun hexagram, and the yang pole is yin. If we look at the principles of the "Book of Changes", there is no truth in life. It is just two stages of birth and death. Sleeping and waking up are just two stages, so they cannot change anymore. So this seventh change is another change. The seventh hexagram is called the wandering soul hexagram. When people of the older generation tell others in words that they will not live long, they often use the expression "the soul is wandering between the empty tombs", which means that while the person is alive, the soul has already entered the tomb, and the wandering soul is this realm. Now let’s talk about the changes of the Qian hexagram, from the first, Qian to the sky, the second, the wind of the sky, the third, the escape of the Tianshan, the fourth, the heaven and the earth, the fifth, the view of the wind and the earth, the sixth, the peeling of the mountains, and at the seventh change, it cannot go up. , so it was changed to the first line of the outer hexagram and then changed, which is the seventh hexagram: The outer hexagram of Shandi Pei is the first line of the Gen hexagram, which is the fourth line change of the Pei hexagram, and the yin and yang are generated again, becoming: Fire Dijin, Jin is the advance of progress. This seventh hexagram is called Wandering Soul, which means that inner thoughts turn into actions, and actions affect the external environment. Now it is the external environment that oppresses one's inner thoughts and changes. , this is how the wandering soul comes back. At the eighth change, the name is Guihun Gua, which means that it has returned to its original position. The inner hexagram has become the original position, so it becomes: Fire Heaven Dayou. This is how the eight hexagrams of the Qian Palace change. Simply put, the order of the hexagrams of the divided palaces changes as follows: 1. The main hexagram, 2. The first line changes, 3. The second line changes, 4. The third line changes. , 5. The fourth line changes, 6. the fifth line changes, 7. the fourth line changes back to the original line, 8. the inner hexagram changes back to the noumenon hexagram, after knowing this principle and discovering that there is such a good organization, it is easy to recite silently. . Take the Kan hexagram again: Kan is water, the first line begins to change, the inner hexagram becomes three, and the dui hexagram is Ze. On Shuize Festival, the second line changes again, the yang line becomes the yin line, the inner hexagram becomes the Zhen hexagram, and the shock becomes thunder, so it becomes: Shuireitun. According to the same law, water and fire are both beneficial, and the fire and leather are abundant, the thunder and fire are abundant, the earth and fire are bright, and the earth and water are masters. As long as you know this rule, the following six hexagrams such as Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui are all the same. I don’t need to explain them one by one in detail. Everyone will change and recite silently. Now further simplify the hexagram names of the eight hexagrams in the eighth palace, omit the two-character compound hexagram into one character, and connect the seven changed hexagram names into one sentence of seven rules. The sixty-four hexagrams in the eight palaces become the seven-character hexagrams at the beginning of this article. A poem. Qian is the sky, Tianfengqiao, Tianshandun, Tiandibu, Fengdiguan, Shandipi, Huodijin, Huotiandayou; (referred to as Qian: Jieduunfuguanpijin (big)you), the big you hexagram Omit "big".

Kan is water, Shuizejie, Shuileitun, Shuihuojiji, Zehuoge, Leihuofeng, Dihuo Mingyi, Dishuishi; [Abbreviation: Jietunji (Ji) Gefeng (Ming) Yishi] omit Ji The "Ji" in the "Ji" hexagram is the same as the "Ming" in the Mingyi hexagram; Gen is mountain, mountain fire Ben, mountain and sky big animal, mountain Zeshui, fire Zesui, Tianzelu, Fengze Zhongfu, Fengshan gradually ;[Abbreviation: 贲大杽罽路(中)福经] Omit the word "中" in the "Zhongfu" hexagram; Zhen is Lei, Lei Diyu, Lei Shuijie, Lei Fengheng, Difeng Sheng, Shui Fengjing , Zefeng Daguo, Zeleisui; [abbreviation: Yujie Hengshengjing (big) Guosui] omit the "big" in the Daguo hexagram; Xun is the wind, Fengtian Xiaozhu, Fenghuo family, Fengleiyi, Tian Lei Wuwu, Huo Lei Chi, Shan Lei Hua, Shan Feng Gu [abbreviated as Xun: Xiaojiayi Wu Hua (呑) Hua Gu] omit the "呑" of Huo Lei; Li Weihuo, Volcano Brigade, Huo Feng Ding , Huoshuiweiji, Shanshuimeng, Fengshuihuan, Tianshuiyi, Tianhuotongren; [abbreviated as Li: Ludingwei (Ji) Mengxuan Yi (tong)ren] Omit the "Ji" in Moji and the "Tong" in Tongren ; Kun is Earth, Di Lei Fu, Di Ze Lin, Di Tian Tai, Lei Tian Da Zhuang, Ze Tian Kui Shui Tian Needs, Water and Earth Bi; [Kun for short: Fu Lin Tai (big) Zhuang Kui needs Bi] omit Lei The "strong" that the sky is big and strong. Dui Wei Ze, Ze Shui Kun, Ze Di Cui, Ze Shan Xian, Shui Shan Jian, Dishan Qian, Lei Shan Xiao Guo, Lei Ze Gui Mei; [abbreviation Dui: Kun Cuixian Jian Qian Xiao (Guo) Mei] omitted "To pass" means to have a small fault. In this way, the seven-rhythm poem at the beginning took shape. If you can't remember the order of the eight palace hexagrams, just arrange them clockwise from Qian to Dui according to the diagram of King Wen's hexagrams to get the vertical arrangement of the seven laws, which is the order of the eight pure hexagrams: Qiankan Genzhen, Xunli Kundui. An's method of memorizing the sixty-four hexagrams has a strong error-correcting function. If he cannot remember the hexagrams, he will deduce them. 2. The application skills of the eight palaces, sixty-four hexagrams and seven rhymes of the Zhouyi in prediction. The Zhouyi is the most widely used in prediction. The judgment and application of the sixty hexagrams in the Zhouyi prediction are difficult to distinguish between Najia, Yishu and An Shiying. application. If you memorize the sixty-four hexagrams, a seven-rhythm poem, this problem will be easily solved. The Bagua and the five elements belong to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Specifically: Qiandui belongs to metal, Xunzhen belongs to wood, Kan belongs to water, Li belongs to fire, and Kungen belongs to earth. The other hexagrams of the sixty-four hexagrams belong to the Bachun hexagram, whichever palace has five elements follows that five element. That is, the fourteen hexagrams of the two palaces of Qian and Dui also belong to gold, the fourteen hexagrams of the two palaces of Xunzhen also belong to wood, and the seven hexagrams of Kangong belong to wood. All the changes in the palace belong to water, the changes in Li Gong belong to fire, and the changes in Kun and Gen both belong to earth. Therefore, when we extract a Six-Yao Bagua, we know which palace it is and its five-element attributes. What's more important is that knowing its position in the Eight Palaces hexagram means to which line it changes to, you can know the world line of this hexagram. Two lines away is the corresponding line of this hexagram. There are Shi Yao and corresponding Yao in a Six-Yao Bagua. The Shi Yao of the eight pure hexagrams of the Shi Yao are all in the sixth line. The eight pure hexagrams followed by the eight pure hexagrams have one Shi Yao in the first line and the second Shi Yao in the third. The second Yao, the fifth Yao in the fifth line, the Sixth Yao of the Wandering Soul hexagram returns to the fourth Yao, and the seventh Yao of the Guihun hexagram returns to the third Yao. This can be clearly seen from the changing process of the eight palace hexagrams. Therefore, as long as you memorize this poem with seven rhymes, eight sentences and sixty-four hexagrams, you will not be wrong, and the attribution of the five elements and An Shiying will also be correct. Then take in the earthly branches and six relatives. Najia from bottom to top: the inner hexagram of Qian hexagram is matched with Zi Yinchen, the outer hexagram is matched with Wu Shenxu, Kan hexagram is matched with Yinchen Wu and Shen Xuzi, Gen hexagram is Chen Wushen and Xu Ziyin; Zhen is the same as Qian hexagram with Zi Yinchen and Wushen. Xu Na Jia, the Xun hexagram presses: Chou Hai You, Mo Si Mao, the Li hexagram presses Mao Chou Hai, You Mo Si, the Dui hexagram presses Si Mao Chou, Hai You Wei. Kun hexagram is based on Mo Si Mao and Chou Hai You Na Jia. This seems very chaotic but there is no pattern to it. The yang hexagrams receiving the earthly branches are arranged clockwise, and the yin hexagrams receiving the earthly branches are arranged counterclockwise and counterclockwise. When the single hexagram is an inner hexagram, use the first three to arrange it from bottom to top, and for the outer hexagram, use the last three to arrange it from bottom to top in the same order as the hexagrams. In addition, the relationship between the five elements of the hexagram and the eight palace hexagrams can be used to determine the position of the six relatives, that is, to accept the six relatives. The relationship is that those who give birth to me are my parents, those who give birth to me are my descendants, those who restrain me are officials and ghosts, those who restrain me are wives and talents, and those who are harmonious are brothers. After accepting the six relatives, you must also accept the six gods, which is also called accepting the six beasts. When the hexagram is started on the day A and B, the first line of the hexagram rises, the green dragon. When the hexagram of day Bing and D starts, the first line of the hexagram rises. The first line of the hexagram is Soaring Snake, the first line of the hexagram is the white tiger, and the first line of the hexagram is Rengui. Then from the first to the sixth line, the six gods are arranged in a clockwise cycle according to Qinglong, Suzaku, Gouchen, Tengshe, White Tiger and Xuanwu. According to the moon order at the time of the hexagram, the sun and the stars are empty and the moon is broken. The changes in moving lines can be used to determine the status and changing trends of things, so as to achieve the purpose of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck.
