What does "Qian Gua" in the "Book of Changes" mean? What are the specialties of Qian Gua?
Here we first need to explain the Qian in the Bagua. Qian is the first position in the Bagua, which is the south position. Pure Yang is Qian and also the sky.
The Qian hexagram, as the first hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams in the "Book of Changes", is particularly important. As the beginning of the hexagram, it naturally represents the beginning of heaven. The process of things starting over and over again from birth to growth to decay.
When talking about the stem positions in the Bagua, we must talk about the corresponding hexagrams. As the saying goes, solitary yin does not arise, solitary yang does not grow, negative yin embraces yang, and invigorating qi is harmony. The various hexagrams in the Bagua also have the meaning of reconciliation and neutralization.
The Qian hexagram mainly expresses heaven, consciousness and strong things in the hexagram. Generally speaking, the Qian image is the first. For people, it can be the leader or the head. For the other side, it is the north, To the northwest and above, the taste is spicy
In terms of numbers, they are one, six, and four-nine, which include the numbers of innate Bagua, acquired Bagua and the Five Elements.
As we said before, the position of Qian is the first hexagram in the hexagrams, and Qian Kun has a special status in the hexagrams. For this reason, there are separate books for separate interpretation and recording, such as "Classic Classics" It is dedicated to interpreting the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, and it is also an important way to know and understand the "Book of Changes".
After talking about the importance, we will talk about some of the details of Qian Gua. For the Qian Gua, we use popular language to explain that in terms of Feng Shui, the Qian Gua is the male-dominated position. For example, if the master bedroom is in the northwest, it is the Qian Gua position, which is the best choice for the master bedroom arrangement. , at the same time, if the male owner occupies the Gan position, it means that he can be reused and can get his position. If the corresponding woman is in the Kun position, she will be in the Kun position. Kun lives in the Kun position, so naturally it is important. There are also certain differences in the placement of objects and Feng Shui pieces. For example, when we look at ancient houses, there are often stone lions in front of the house. The stone lions are not placed randomly. The one who steps on the ball is a male lion, and the one who steps on the ball is a male lion. The lion is a female lion, and the lion itself is the symbol of the Qian hexagram, so it should naturally be placed in the stem position. This is why our common stone lions are located in the northwest or west.
