Chapter VI The Book of Changes
Since the Book of Changes, the ancients have interpreted these four words, most of which are funny, thinking that they represent the four basic properties of dry divination, which are often extended to the four seasons, four virtues and so on.
For example,
In personnel, "Yuan Henry Zhen" stands for benevolence, courtesy, righteousness and wisdom respectively.
It has a great celestial circle, prosperous and smooth growth, peace and good progress, integrity and firmness.
However, through the further study of Oracle Bone Inscriptions and other unearthed documents in modern times, the academic circles have basically recognized that the word "Zhen" in these four words is "divination" (not only that, all similar words in the Book of Changes have the same meaning), so these four words have been renamed as "Yuan Heng, Lizhen", which means "Good luck, auspicious occupation".
"River Map" and "Luoshu" are the sources of Chinese culture. "The Book of Changes" says: "The river makes a picture, Luo makes a book, and the sage makes it." This saint is Fuxi, the ancestor of human culture. Legend has it that in Fu Xishi, a dragon horse appeared from the Yellow River, carrying a "river map"; There are turtles appearing from Luoshui, carrying "Luoshu". Fuxi drew eight diagrams according to this kind of "picture" and "book", and later Zhou Wenwang studied the written king's eight diagrams and sixty-four hexagrams according to Fuxi's eight diagrams, and wrote eight diagrams respectively.
River Map and Luoshu are two mysterious patterns handed down from ancient China, which have always been regarded as the origin of Heluo culture.
Numbers are one of the important signs that human beings first separated from the animal kingdom and became human beings. The appearance of numbers makes human beings aware of their wisdom and cleverness, and lays the foundation for further development of wisdom.
Therefore, people in ancient times worshipped numbers very much from the beginning, which was the same characteristic of all nationalities in the world at the beginning of cultural enlightenment. China's ancient ancestors' worship of numbers is rich in cultural content, which can be said to show the ancient ancestors' knowledge of astronomy, geography, human relations, philosophy, art, primitive religion, daily life and so on.
For thousands of years, people have always associated "He Tu" and "Luo Shu" with Fuxi, Bagua and Zhouyi, and Zhu Xi even put the "He Tu Luo Shu" at the head of the Book of Changes, and praised it greatly. Most scholars in ancient China believed that Fuxi was inspired by the river map to create the Eight Diagrams, and The Book of Changes originated from Fuxi's Eight Diagrams.
gossip is a divination symbol composed of long lines and short lines (, 1, 1, 11, 1, 11, 11, 111), from which the binary idea of computers now comes. It can be said that the Internet and cloud computing are all built.
So, who first invented these symbols? History books often claim that Fuxi invented gossip. As for Fuxi's making gossip, The Book of Changes under the Cohesion records in detail:
In that period when heaven and earth were in flood, Fuxi often stood on the slope beside the Yellow River, intently watching the rapids and eddies formed at the intersection of the Yellow River and Luoshui. The colorful clouds in the sky and the loess on the ground all caused him to think about why the sky was blue and why the earth was yellow. After a long time of thinking, he created Eight Trigrams with lines of different lengths.
combine two single hexagrams up and down, that is, one of the 64 hexagrams, and weigh the hexagrams.
Eight trigrams are the basis of the Yi-ology system. The pre-Qin Yi-ology was mainly the "three changes", namely Lianshan in the Xia Dynasty, Renzang in the Shang Dynasty and Zhouyi in the Zhou Dynasty. Later generations are familiar with Zhouyi, which is divided into Yijing and Yizhuan.
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.
Liu Xin, a scholar in the Han Dynasty, also said in Records of the Five Elements of the Han Dynasty: "Fu Xishi is king after heaven, and if he is influenced by the river map, he will figure it out, and gossip is also true." Many scholars in the Han Dynasty believed that Fuxi's creation of Eight Diagrams was inspired by the letter of He Tu Luo. For example, Kong Yingda's book "The Justice of Zhouyi" said that "Fuxi's" River Map "must be looked up and down, so as to be correct, and then draw hexagrams."
Zhu Xi, a great scholar in Song Dynasty, not only thought that the book of Hutuluo was presented by Heluo Turtle Dragon and painted by sage, but also put the schema of the book of Hutuluo at the front. Wang Shenzi, a scholar in the Yuan Dynasty, also said in the book "On the Great Yi Ji": "The Yi of Fuxi originated from the river map, and in the river map, there are five places and ten places, and Tai Chi is also." At least since the Han dynasty, most scholars have recognized that the river map existed before Fuxi era, and saints founded gossip accordingly. As a result, people have closely linked the book of Hutuluo with the Eight Diagrams and the Eight Diagrams with the Book of Changes. Because gossip originated from the book of hetuluo.
Fu Xishi's "Eight Diagrams" in ancient times began with observation, and after observing the heavens, the earth, people and things generally, they were summarized and made into the ideological symbols of Eight Diagrams. This is exactly the procedure of philosophical thinking. Starting from the immediate natural phenomena, through observation, synthesis and comparison, we can get the * * * nature of everything, and then induce and create an image number to represent this * * * nature. The previous sentence of this passage states that the Eight Diagrams are generated by inducing the nature of all things, so they can "communicate" the virtues of all things ("virtue" means virtue); The latter sentence is characterized by its universal nature, so it can be divided into eight categories according to the actual situation of all things (referring to eight kinds of gossip, such as heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and ze).

The Book of Changes was originally a divination work in ancient times. At the time of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the collation of the King of Scriptures was introduced into the academic field, which became the inexhaustible source of China's thought and culture after being narrated by Confucius and carefully studied by scholars of all ages. It can be called "the first of the group classics". The Book of Changes contains the great wisdom of the Chinese nation and is an all-encompassing cultural masterpiece. The key to carrying forward the wisdom of the Book of Changes lies in applying what you have learned and reaching a high-level life realm.
Looking at the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, we can see that Yi-ology has always run through the cultural context of China, ranging from being able to govern the country and help the world, to being independent and knowing the ambition of a gentleman, and all the great scholars of past dynasties have devoted themselves to studying Yi.
The Book of Changes is a classic among classics, a philosophy in philosophy and wisdom in wisdom. When it comes to the collection of human wisdom, China's Book of Changes is the first one. The Book of Changes is a must-read book for political strategists, strategists and businessmen in past dynasties.
if you read it, you can know the changes of people, know the way to govern the world, and realize the way to use troops and gain the way to operate.
First, change. Everything in the world is changing all the time. Heaven and earth run, cold and summer alternate, human beings die, and there is no time. Everything is moving and changing. )
second, simplicity, one yin and one yang, covers all kinds of things. There is land every day, there are men and women, there are ups and downs, and there is a front and a back, all of which are opposite and complementary, and unity of opposites. (contradiction is the fundamental driving force for the development of things)
Third, it is not easy. Although things in the world are complicated and changeable, one thing will never change, and which one will? The law remains the same. A month's profit is a loss, but a day's noon is a deviation, and things will turn against each other. This is the law of everything. Who can escape this rule? Everything is connected and there is essential truth. )
The Book of Changes was born 3, years ago, and the origin of the Book of Changes has a history of at least 7, to 8, years. "Man's law is based on land, land is based on heaven, heaven is based on Taoism, and Taoism is natural". Yi is the source of China culture, which was born before Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and it is a portrayal of our ancestors' experience in astronomy, geography, history and living environment.
Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism are formed because of the changes. Taoism advocates nature, Confucianism advocates ethics, and Buddhism advocates consciousness.
The copulative cloud says, "When you learn from the dry, you can accomplish something. Doing is easy to know, and Kun is simple. Easy is easy to know, simple is easy to follow. Easy to know makes friends, easy to follow makes contributions. If you have relatives, you can last a long time, but if you have merits, you can be great. It can be the virtue of a sage for a long time, but it can be the career of a sage. "
"harmony between heaven and man", "inner sage and outer king" and "both internal and external cultivation" ...
Yi has laid the structure of China traditional culture, passed down from generation to generation with 5, years of civilization, created profound and profound China culture, formed a stable social structure, and enabled Chinese children to rest, live and work in peace and contentment, created a creative and tenacious national spirit, and nurtured a generation.
