The Book of Changes says that there is a balance between physical and mental remediation. Is this true?

If you study the "Book of Changes", first read the Book of Changes - such as: Xici Shang, Xia, Shuowen, Wenyan, Zagua... This will be helpful.

The remarks about body and mind are the explanations of yin and yang thought by later generations combined with the Book of Changes

The following discussion is for your reference only

The relationship between yin and yang:

1. Yin is the body of Tao, Yang is the function of Tao, and body and function are interdependent.

Only Yin and Yang can change and flow with each other. This process is called "Tao". Without yin and yang, there is no way.

The various mysterious and unpredictable changes of yin and yang are produced, which is "the unpredictable yin and yang become gods".

2. Yin and Yang are orderly and master-slave.

In the initial period of yin and yang, there is yin first and then yang, which is the so-called "creation out of nothing". Laozi said: "Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is born from non-being."

Buddhist philosophy has a very detailed discussion on this. When people deal with any new things, they go from not understanding (the state of yin) to understanding (the state of yang). Therefore, the arrangement of yin and yang phrases determines their order - yin first and yang last.

3. Yin is big and yang is small. There are fewer days and more dark and cloudy days; less happiness and more troubles; fewer men and more women; less land and more water... Yin is invisible and Yang is substance, so people think more and act less.

4. Harmony occurs when yin and yang tend to be balanced.

Concerning the balance of yin and yang, Confucianism talks about the golden mean, which means "knocking on both ends and holding on to it." The word "yong" is universal, and zhongyong means using the middle. This is the interpretation of the Han Dynasty. A severe drought will lead to a severe flood, and vice versa. Regarding the elaboration of "middle", Xin Qiji, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, said that "nothing is good or bad, and if it is too much, it will be a disaster." It is not good to be partial to yin, and it is not good to be partial to yang. A balance of yin and yang is best.

5. The anode generates yin, and the cathode generates yang.

This is the principle of ancient philosophy that when things go to extremes, they must be reversed. That is: pure yang returns to yin, pure yin returns to yang. It is also often emphasized in physiognomy. Physiognomists believe that if a person's five senses are exposed, it is unlucky and will bring harm. If all five senses are exposed, things will be reversed, resulting in a qualitative change and becoming auspicious. "Xiangli Hengzhen" says: "One is exposed and two are exposed, and there is a shirt but no trousers. All five are exposed, and blessings are endless." There is also a song "Five Dews" in the same book: All five are exposed, and blessings will come. Two are exposed and three are exposed. Instead it will be a disaster. With protruding breasts and high buttocks, your name is exposed. How can you protect money with this appearance?

In addition, the appearance of the tip of the head and the tip of the chin is also not good, such as "the tip of the head does not have the power of parents, the tip of the pavilion does not have the power of industry, and the tip of the mouth does not have the power of longevity." However, according to the extremes of things, the opposite must be true. Reason, and those who have all three points, will lead to the opposite results. "Jade Guan Zhaoshen Bureau" points out: "There are many noble people with three points. The tip of the head, the tip of the pavilion, and the tip of the mouth are called the three points. All of them are noble."

6. All things bear Yin. And embrace the sun.

As we all know, the sky is yang and the earth is yin. The heavenly stems are yang and the earthly branches are yin. There are yin and yang within the heavenly stems and earthly branches, forming a mixed state in which yin contains yang, yang contains yin, you have me, and I have you. This is the theory of relativity and the idea of ​​Tai Chi. It is on the basis of this cognition that the Confucian thought of "misfortunes and blessings depend on each other, and good and evil coexist."

7. If the yin does not grow, the yang will not grow.

When a person walks, the two feet are empty and empty. The feet that land on the ground are yang and full, and the feet that leave the ground are yin and empty. Too much reality is not enough to act, too much emptiness is not enough to be a human being.

The yin and yang are highlighted in the daily movements of hands and feet; when you understand the changes in yin and yang in various life phenomena, you will understand the general principles of life, knowledge, and career. .

It is extended to Feng Shui to enhance everyone’s understanding. For example, in a certain place, most of them are bungalows, but there is a new building with twenty or thirty floors. In this environment, this tall building stands out like a flock of chickens. It is a situation of "the sun does not last long"! From a macro perspective, the residents living in this high-rise building will not make much progress, and may even develop in a negative direction.

On the other hand, in a community with many high-rise buildings, if only one building is relatively short, it is considered a solitary building, violating the taboo of "there is no life in a solitary building". People who live in this low-rise building will find it difficult to continue to develop in a good direction in terms of career, power, and health. If there are elderly people in the family, it is usually difficult to live a long life. If there are young people, they will generally have some fertility problems. It does not grow, so it affects future generations. Once you truly understand this sentence and this principle, you will understand everything. Extending this to residences, a house that is pure Yang or pure Yin is not considered a lucky house. It also violates the taboo of "Yin alone cannot give birth, Yang alone cannot grow".

Yin represents spiritual pursuit and cultural connotation; Yang represents technology. People with only technical skills can only be called "craftsmen", not "teachers", and they cannot last long; on the contrary, they sit and talk about Tao, which is also an imbalance of yin and yang, and there is no shortcut.

If you truly understand that "one yin and one yang are called Tao", you will truly understand that "man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature", and you will understand the way of yin and yang. , you don’t need to ask others to judge, because you have mastered the general principles of ecological environment selection.

The topic of yin and yang can never be finished, just like the history of this world is always two people (men and women) performing a show, spinning around like a ring for no reason. May those who pursue the Tao of Yin and Yang find inner peace and happiness here and gain spiritual growth!

The ancients said: One yin and one yang are called Tao. This yin and yang way is not just a concept, a feeling, but also a heart-to-heart touching feeling. And this kind of touching is a tribute to the Chinese Yixue!
