Sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes
If you want to ask: how to understand "hexagrams"?
All right, I'll be brief. The word of hexagram is a generalization of hexagram, that is to say, what is the general idea of hexagram. For example, "for heaven". The general idea is: the sky has no real shape, and it is full of virtual qi, which is helpful to celestial bodies.
Another example is "Kun is the land". From beginning to end, yin and yang are brewing.
Heaven is unique, but there are countless places. Such as the earth, the moon, the sun and so on.
There was heaven first, then there was earth, and the earth came from heaven, and everything between heaven and earth gradually formed. Tao Te Ching says, "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, life to three, and life to everything."
Another example is "Shuileitun". The general idea is: at the beginning of the formation of everything, it is a difficult and long embryonic stage. Tun represents hardship, starting, begging and yearning.
The hexagrams in Tunli were unprecedented, and later came into being in difficulties. For example, breaking ground, inventing the atomic bomb, abandoning the pen to join the army and retiring from business.
See my blog post for details.
The actual arrangement principle of sixty-four hexagrams
Sixty-four hexagrams not only have hexagrams, but also have characters. Yi Ci is a special exposition and explanation of each hexagram.
In the actual forecast, language can only be used as a reference, not as a standard. Because Yi Ci originated in ancient times, it was written according to people's ethics and social status at that time. Now people's ideas are very different from those at that time, so it is not accurate to judge divination according to rhetoric.
The solution of the eight diagrams and sixty-four hexagrams and its interpretation of 1 hexagrams.
Doing things for the sky (divination) is vigorous. Divination is like saying: when the dragon is trapped, it is lucky to get water, but it is not happy, all hopes are satisfactory, and the future fortune is getting higher and higher. This feature overlaps with the feature (lower stem and upper stem). It symbolizes the sky, Yu Long (a gentleman with virtue and integrity), purity and health, and prosperity and strength. Divination is based on the flexible principle of everything, with "yuan, constancy, reason and truth" as the divination words to show good luck and teach people to abide by heaven's virtue.
The second divination
Kun Weidi (Kun Gua) extends on the hexagrams, which is like saying that the fat sheep lost their flock and went into the mountains. The hungry tigers opened their mouths as soon as they met, which made them happy. If the hexagrams were put away, they would prosper. This six-pointed star overlaps with the six-pointed star (Xia Kun Shang Kun) and is negative. Symbolically (as opposed to divination), obey heaven. Carrying everything, endless. Kungua is symbolized by a female horse, which shows that she bears and nurtures everything in a real way and is docile by nature. It proves that "Kun" obeys "Xing" by "getting lost first", and only by following "Xing" can we grasp the right direction, take the right road and get good luck.
The third divination
Shuileitun (divination station) made a very difficult divination at first, saying: When the wind blows and the line disappears, it will make you feel sad when you are upset, and it will make you feel free when you walk slowly to the left, but it will make you unhappy when you are in a hurry. This divination is different (the next earthquake is on the ridge), and the earthquake is thunder, indicating movement; One obstacle is rain, which means danger. Thunderstorm, danger and harsh environment. "Tun" originally meant that plants germinated on the earth. Everything is full of difficulties and obstacles, but when the times come, it will flourish.
The fourth divination
The landscape Meng (Meng Gua) enlightened and worked hard, and the divination said: the divination is small, the fortune of the gentleman is not high, the marriage and partnership are trivial, and the extremes meet. This divination is the superposition of different divinations (the next ridge is the root), and the root is the image of the mountain, which is a metaphor; The ridge is the image of water, which means danger. The hexagrams are shaped like danger under the mountain, but they still don't stop moving forward. They are ignorant, so they are called Mongolian hexagrams. But because we grasped the opportunity and acted in time, we got enlightenment and understanding.
The fifth divination
Water and sky need (need divination) to remain upright and stand by. Divination is like saying: the pearl soil has been buried for a long time, and there is no light and no light. Now, suddenly the wind blew away the soil, and the soil naturally appeared again. This hexagram means that different hexagrams (lower stem and upper ridge) overlap, and the lower hexagram means dry and vigorous; Divination is an obstacle and means danger. In order to deal with the danger properly, we should be slow and steady, not act rashly, and wait and see, in order to succeed.
Sixian
Tianshui litigation (litigation divination) fights carefully to avoid litigation. Divination is like saying: everything is difficult in the heart, just because two people are fighting for the road, it will take the lead when it rains. Who is willing to let who take this step. This hexagram is the superposition of different hexagrams (lower bar and upper bar). On the contrary, they are each other's "comprehensive hexagrams". Doing is vigorous and hurdling is dangerous. Justice and risk, health and risk, mutual opposition, reconciliation litigation. Argument is not a good thing, so be careful of fear.
The seventh divination
Feng Shui master (Shi Gua) took risks, followed by divination, as if to say: The general was ordered to go out, riding a fierce horse, pulling a hard bow, piercing the Yang with a hundred paces, and the money in the arrow was jubilant. This hexagram is the superposition of different hexagrams (Xiakan Shang Kun). "Division" refers to the army. Obstacles are water and danger; Kun for the land, for the smooth, which means that the soldiers are in agriculture. In the fierce battle, using the army is the last resort of saints, but it can solve contradictions smoothly and unimpeded, because it is suitable for the situation and the teacher is famous, so it can turn evil into good.
The eighth divination
The land-water ratio is honest and United, and the divination says: Sail with the wind, God helps the breeze, and you don't have to work hard, follow your inclinations and make great progress. This divinatory symbol is the overlapping of different divinatory symbols (the upper part), while Kun is the land; The ridge is water. Water adheres to the earth, which is full of rivers and oceans. They are interdependent and intimate. This divination is completely opposite to the teacher's divination. They are comprehensive divination. This paper expounds the principles of mutual complement, generosity and selflessness, and sincere unity.
The ninth divination
On windy days, small livestock (small livestock hexagrams) will remain until they enter the next hexagrams, just like saying that when seedlings are in drought days, water is like clouds and heavy rain, and farmers sigh on their backs, so they are in no hurry to get money. This hexagram is a different hexagram (the lower stem is lost), and the stem is the sky; Xun is the wind. It is said that good weather and good harvests have led to a bumper harvest, so the hexagrams are called small livestock (storage). The strength is limited, and it needs to be developed to a certain extent to make great achievements.
Di 10 hexagram
Heaven's down-to-earth divination is like saying: Phoenix falls on Xiqiao Mountain, and when it goes to sing a few words, King Wen will start a foundation, which will be rich and brilliant for 800 years. This is the overlap of differences (descending the inverse dry), and the dry is the sky; Exchange ze, Yu Jun and heaven, Yu Min and Ze, the original text: "Heel (step on) the tiger's tail, not a person (bite)." Therefore, the result is auspicious. The monarch is superior to the people, and everyone has his place. If you are weak, you will be in danger. The meaning of enrichment is practice, and divination means down-to-earth and enterprising.

The Book of Changes is a book about divination. The main tool used for divination in the Book of Changes is the sixty-four hexagrams evolved from eight diagrams. The hexagrams of the sixty-four hexagrams are the broken words of divination, which contains rich philosophy and can make people grasp the future and lead people to success. It is precisely because of the infinite unknowns hidden in the sixty-four hexagrams that countless scholars in history have devoted their lives to studying the mysteries in order to seize the opportunity and solve many puzzles in life.

The law of divination order in Yijing is based on gossip. The predecessors' main understandings are "innate gossip Theory" and "acquired gossip theory", each with its own characteristics, but their connection with the sixty-four hexagrams seems to be incidental. Later, someone put forward the concept of "even pair, not repeating" for the sixty-four hexagrams, which can be described as a great progress, and it pointed out some internal relations of the sixty-four hexagrams. However, this concept is also flawed, because its formulation of "seeing only trees but not forests" fails to systematically solve the problem of divination order in the Book of Changes. On the basis of predecessors, Mr. Yi Songyun put forward a new understanding of the order of the sixty-four hexagrams. The following figure fully reflects the inherent regularity of the 64 hexagrams in the Book of Changes:
In the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, do you only look at the hexagrams where the hexagrams changed, but not at the hexagrams obtained after the hexagrams changed? The former is the status quo, and the latter is the result of changes in things. My personal view is this. If the former does not conform to the present divinatory symbols, then the latter is inaccurate.

Who wrote the hexagrams of the Book of Changes? 5 points: Wang Wen made divination and Zhou Gong made a speech.
There are three kinds of Book of Changes, commonly known as three changes: Lianshan Yi (at the beginning of divination in Shennong era), Gui Zang Yi (at the beginning of divination in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty) and Zhouyi (at the beginning of divination), but the first two have been lost, so the Book of Changes we refer to generally refers to Zhouyi.
The Book of Changes you see now is divided into two parts: The Book of Changes and The Book of Changes. The upper part is divided into Yijing, which tells the hexagrams of each of the 64 hexagrams. The lower part is the Book of Changes, which explains and further explains each hexagram or the whole Book of Changes.
Generally speaking, the definite authors are as follows:
Bagua: (2 to the third power) The picture of Gan Kan Genzhen leaving Kundui was made by Fuxi.
Sixty-four hexagrams: (2 to the sixth power) This painting was painted by Zhou Wenwang. The history book says: Wang Wen played Zhouyi after being arrested.
Gua Ci: The author should be Wang Wen or Duke Zhou. Considering the cultural master Zhou Gong, Zhou Gong is very likely. King Wen will draw hexagrams, and Duke Zhou will give a speech. Therefore, Duke Zhou is also one of the four saints.
Text: The authors should be a group, created collectively by fortune tellers in the Zhou Dynasty, not simultaneously. It is very likely that the Duke of Zhou played a great role.
The typical evidence is as follows: the thirty-sixth of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi. "Ming Yi", in its remarks.
Sixty-five: Ming Yi and Li Zhen from Ji Zi. Xiang Yue said: Ji Zi's chastity is unstoppable.
Now that we have talked about Ji Zi, it is likely that after the destruction of Shang Dynasty in Zhou Dynasty, King Wen had already passed away.
Ding wai yi gua
"Jin": Kang Hou used Sima, and he was subjected to it every day.
Kang Hou: refers to Zhou Wuwang's younger brother Kang Shufeng.
Therefore, it can be seen that the maturity time of this passage is definitely later than that of Zhou Wenwang.
However, Ji Zi and Kang Hou were both figures in the era of King Wu, so it is not impossible to write a letter from Duke Zhou.
