Application of Feng Shui, application of River Map and Luoshu
The textual expression of the river diagram is: "The sky creates water, and the earth creates sixty percent of it" (the north is water, which is cold, and its numbers are one and six): the two earths create fire, and the sky creates seventy percent of it (the south is fire) , is heat, and its number is two or seven): the four parts of the earth generate gold, and the sky is nine percent of it (the west is gold, which is dry, and its number is four or nine); the five days of heaven are earth, and the earth is ten percent of it (the center is earth, which is Wet, the number is five or ten). One, three, five, seven, and nine are the numbers of heaven, which are yang; two, four, six, eight, and ten are the numbers of earth, which are yin.
Wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire are the yin and yang of heaven. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the yin and yang of the earth. Through the above study, we have learned some insights about the numbering of yin and yang, which are "numbering yin and yang", "numbering the sun, moon and stars", and "numbering heaven and earth". In our traditional culture, in our yin and yang number structure system, the directions are always connected with the four seasons, with numbers, with yin and yang, with wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, with metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and then combined with Our human body has a problem with the matching of internal organs. If we express it in terms of numbers, six in the north are associated with the kidneys, seven in the south are associated with the heart, eight in the east are associated with the liver, nine in the west are associated with the lungs, and ten in the center are associated with the spleen. Therefore, the numbers of traditional Chinese medicine are the numbers of yin and yang, the numbers of Hetu, not the numbers of modern mathematical logic system.
In short, Fuxi's river map is to count yin and yang, to count the sun, moon and stars, to count the heaven and earth, to express the five directions, four seasons, wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, to express the yin and yang mathematical structure system, The relationship diagram between plants and climate is also a basic relationship diagram between numbers and images.
Luo Shu. Luoshu was produced in the Fuxi era. At that time, based on the changes in the movement of the solar system, people summarized the changes in the earth's orbit around the sun, expressed in numbers: 1 ten 5 ten 9 = 15; 8 ten 5 ten 2 = 15; 3 ten 5 ten 7 = 15; 4 + 5 + 6 = 15, we get Luo Shu. As shown in Figure 3, the sum of their additions is all 15. The number 15 is a solar term number. "Suwen?" Qi Bo said in "Liu Jie Zang Xiang Lun" that five days are one period, and three periods are one Qi. That is to say, there are fifteen days as one solar term, and there are twenty-four solar terms in a year, which is exactly 360 days. Adding in the central period of five days, it is an integer of 365 days in a year. The basic unit of Qi is hou. The emphasis on qi is to consider Qi at a more subtle level. Every 5 days is a small change, 3 5 days is a medium change, which is one Qi, 6 Qi is one hour, 4 hours plus one horoscope make up a year, forming the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
From the perspective of modern meteorology, the climate mentioned above can be said to reflect changes in humidity, temperature, air pressure and other factors, which directly and indirectly affect changes in plants and animals, including humans themselves. In addition to expressing yin and yang, and the changes in climate during the 24 solar terms, Luoshu also expresses the spatial orientation, time and months in all directions. In short, Fuxi painted Luoshu and used yin and yang numbers to construct a system. This allows us to see that changes in numbers bring about changes in time and direction, and changes in time and direction bring about changes in yin and yang. From the changes in yin and yang, Changes bring about changes in climate, and changes in climate bring about changes in human activities. It really changes everything at once, so the ancients told us that if we want to fully understand a problem, we must combine heaven and earth. Considering these three aspects of human beings, we can understand, transform and create the world by relying on some yin and yang magic number structure systems such as Hetu and Luoshu, and at the same time understand, transform and create human beings themselves.
Tai Chi. Tai Chi emerged in the Fuxi era. Tai Chi refers to the original chaotic energy. "easy? According to "Yi Ci", "Yi has Tai Chi, which generates two rituals, two rituals generate four images, and four images generate Bagua." Tai Chi refers to the movement of Qi to divide Yin and Yang, and the four seasons are generated from Yin and Yang, so the sky, earth, wind, The eight natural phenomena of thunder, water, fire, mountains, and lakes are deduced into everything in the universe. This is the perceptual epistemology summarized and deduced from the observation of the universe in Fuxi's era, and it is the specific application of the yin and yang magic number structure system. Due to the needs of agricultural and animal husbandry production in Fuxi's era, astronomy came into being.
One of the most important contributions of ancient Chinese astronomy is the identification of the twenty-four solar terms. Where do the twenty-four solar terms come from? It comes from the "ecliptic", which is the trajectory of the solar system, including the movement of the moon around the earth and the rotation of the earth. The Chinese ancestors perceived through their senses the rising and setting of the sun in the east, the movement of the five planets, and the waxing and waning of the moon on the surface of the earth.
The Chinese ancestors could know the movement of the ecliptic by looking at the shadow of the sun on the eight-foot meter at noon. They arranged the length and length of the shadow on the eight-foot meter in order on a circle to divide the 24 solar terms, such as As shown in Figure 4.
We do not imitate the Yin and Yang Bagua composed of the Hetu, Luoshu and Taiji diagrams to prove the modern application. Here are some examples of understanding philosophy, curing diseases and maintaining health, and preventing disasters and ensuring safety. Get to know philosophy. Philosophy is a theory about how to see the world, and is a summary and summary of natural knowledge and social knowledge.
Chinese people talk about philosophy since ancient times, starting with the "Book of Changes", from one (yang) to two (yin), from two to three (the harmony of yin and yang), from three to all things. Endless life. To sum up, there are yin and yang, there are eight trigrams, and eight basic formulas for dealing with things. It can also be said to be sixty-four hexagrams and sixty-four formulas. As long as you put the problems you need to solve into it, everything will be possible and endless. , which has been used for thousands of years to understand and transform the world, including human beings themselves.
The first chapter of Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" says: "Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; names can be named, but they are not names." It talks about the image concepts of "Tao" and "name". What is the concept of "Xuan"? "Xuan" is the sundial (pronunciation: ghost. Meaning: the shadow of the sun's rays shining on the eight-foot long watch). As long as we look at the length of the sun's projection under the watch at noon, we can know the movement of heaven, and draw the movement into a Tai Chi Yin Yang Pisces diagram. Because the shadow of this sundial is black, it is called "Xuan". Chinese philosophy is such a visible and tangible image thinking. We can also infer the movement patterns of the planets in the solar system through the length of the sundial. Can't you see or touch your own sundial shadow under the strong light? Chinese philosophy is so easy to understand, but the extent of its shadow cannot be determined by modern scientific development, and it remains to be seen how scientific development will be in the future. You have to rely on the Yin Yang Bagua thinking method to solve problems.
