What is Lianshanyi? What is the relationship between Lianshan Yi, Guizang Yi and Zhouyi?

Many people may have heard of the book "Book of Changes". It is relatively well-known. Even if you have not read it, you will have heard about it. However, not so many people know about the other "Lianshan Yi" we are going to talk about today. "Lianshan Yi" is the first Book of Changes in my country. Also a Book of Changes are "Gui Zang Yi" and the "Book of Changes" that we are more familiar with. So what kind of style of writing is the Book of Changes? Why are there so many different books of changes? What is "Lianshan Book of Changes" about and what is its content? What is included in the book "Lianshan Book of Changes" What practical effect did the content of the book have in ancient times? What is the relationship between the three books "Lianshan Yi", "Guizang Yi" and "Zhouyi"? What are the differences? 1. Lianshan Yi Introduction

"Lianshan" was later also called "Lianshan Yi". In ancient times, it was only called "Lianshan". Its name first appeared in "Zhou Li·Chun Guan Zongbo·Dabu". According to legend Created by the Emperor. There were three Yis in ancient times. "Book of Rites of the Zhou Dynasty" says: "The method of the three Yis of Taibuzhang is: the first is the Lianshan Yi, the second is the Guizang Yi, and the third is the Zhou Yi.

There are eight hexagrams in the scriptures, and all the others are different. Four out of sixty. "Among them, the Lianshan Yi and the Gui Zang Yi have been rarely recorded in the classics of the past two thousand years, and the academic community has almost concluded that they have been lost. These two changes have also become an eternal mystery in the field of Chinese culture. Academic circles have always believed that Lianshan Yi starts with the Gen hexagram, which is like a continuous mountain, so it is named Lianshan.

Zheng Xuan said in "Yi Zan": ""Lianshan" is like the clouds coming out of the mountain, and it is an endless chain. It starts with the Gen hexagram, which is like a continuous mountain, so it is called Lianshan. "Lianshan" "Shan", "Gui Zang" and "Zhou Yi" are collectively called the "Three Yis", and "Lianshan" belongs to the Xiantian Yi. It is recorded in Song Luo Mi's "Lu Shi·First Ji II·Tianhuang Ji". It is said that "Lianshan" is the founder of Pangu. It was created by the emperor of the first generation after heaven and earth. Huan Tan, a scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in "Xin Lun Zheng Jing": ""Lianshan" has 80,000 words, and "Gui Zang" has 4,300 words (Qin Dynasty simplified version). "Lianshan" is hidden in Lantai, and "Gui Zang" is hidden in Taibu.

"Lianshan" uses the six qi of the four seasons as the guide for prosperity and decline, the Liujia value talisman as the coordinate for judging good and bad, and the three yuan and nine fortunes as the transformation of time and space. It is different from the dialectical method that uses the objective theory of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth to guide the conceptual theory. Its innate Bagua chart, headed by Gen (mountain), mainly talks about the confrontation between Yin and Yang hexagrams. 2. What are the differences between Lianshan Yiguizangyi and Zhouyi

First of all, the time of appearance is different. There is such a record in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Fuxi obtained the river map, and the Xia people followed it, and called it "Lianshan"; Huangdi obtained the river map, and the merchants followed it, and called it "Gui Zang"; the Lieshan family obtained the river map, and Zhou Because of this, people call it "Book of Changes". "The words "Xia", "Shang" and "Zhou" here refer to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, so we can see that "Lianshan Yi" appeared in Xia. Dynasties, "Gui Zang Yi" appeared in the Shang Dynasty, and "Zhou Yi" appeared in the Zhou Dynasty.

Secondly, the creators are different. Let's also look at this sentence in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". From this sentence, we can easily know that the author of "Lianshan Yi" is a "Xiaren", the author of "Gui Zang Yi" is a "merchant", The author of "The Book of Changes" is a "Zhou man". Obviously, such a conclusion is very vague and inaccurate. So, who are the authors of these three "Books of Changes"? The following statement is more recognized by us, that is, the authors of "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" are both "emperor clan", The author of "Book of Changes" is the well-known King Jichang of Zhou Wen.

Third, the sources are different. If according to the "Shan Hai Jing", the sources of "Lianshan Yi", "Gui Zang Yi" and "Zhou Yi" are obviously the same, that is, they all come from "River Map". In fact, we don't really agree with it. For such a statement, the more acceptable statement we can accept is: "Lianshan Yi" evolved from "Hetu", "Guizang Yi" evolved from "Luoshu", and "Zhou Yi" evolved from "Fuxi Bagua" evolved.

Fourth, the "starting hexagram" is different. Whether it is "Lianshan Yi", "Gui Zang Yi" or "Zhou Yi", these three "Books of Change" are all composed of "hexagrams", and the "starting hexagram" is the first hexagram , but they are different.

The "starting hexagram" of "Lianshan Yi" is "Gen", and "Gen" means "mountain", which just fits its name; the "starting hexagram" of "Gui Zangyi" is "Kun" "Gua", "Kun is the earth", and only the earth with "good virtues" can be used as the word "Zang", which is also the origin of "Gui Zang"; as for the "Book of Changes", we are much familiar with it. , its "starting hexagram" is known to everyone, that is "Qian hexagram".

Finally, the ending is different. Regarding this point, we don’t need to discuss too much. We just need to remember one sentence: the endings of "Lianshan Yi" and "Gui Zang Yi" are "lost", which leads to the ending of "Zhouyi" "With the strength of one person, he can carry the weight of three people." 3. Related knowledge of Lianshan Yi

"Lianshan" uses the ancients' ontology and touch theory of the objective world to define the development of all things The natural laws of the world provide systematic rules and arguments for human behavior in a people-centered society.

While the content of "Lianshanyi" has penetrated into ancient medical literature, it may also have spread into Kanyu Fengshui miscellaneous studies. People have used it to observe mountains and rivers, and choose When choosing tombs in the house, some theories gradually evolved about the peaks and ridges of bones, the earth's energy forming holes, the wind and water hidden in it, and the tiger sitting on the dragon's plate.

"Gui Zang Yi" is the Shang Dynasty's summary of the Yi, and its "Zhongtian Bagua Diagram" symbolizes the Kun (earth) of the collection. It has a great influence on traditional Chinese medicine, such as the "Huangdi Neijing".

Ma Guohan's "Yuhan Shanfang Collection of Lost Books" compiled "Lianshan · Attached to Zhu Jia Lun Shuo" quoted Hu Yinglin as saying: "In the ten volumes of "Lianshan Yi", see "Tang·Yiwenzhi". According to Banshi's " The Book of Changes, the first of the Six Classics, is completely different from the Book of Changes of the Xia and Shang Dynasties. During the Sui Dynasty, Niu Hong (Hong) purchased 370,000 volumes of posthumous writings from Yu Nei. Wei Wencheng and others compiled the "History of the Sui Dynasty". After the Jin and Liang Dynasties, they died. The titles of the chapters are all mentioned, and none of them have heard of the so-called "Lianshan". It was published at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Is it true? "The Biography of Liu Xuan in Northern History": "Sui Wen searched for pictures and books, and Xuan Yin created "Lianshan" and "Historical Records of Lu" According to this, Ma Duanlin thought that Xuan was a work, and it may be true that Gaixuan was removed from the list after the incident, so the "Sui Zhi" did not record it, but his book was passed down later, and it was still banned in Kaiyuan Zhongsheng. "Er."

Since the Qin Dynasty, the book was burned, its arithmetic concepts were removed, and it was turned into scripture and seal script. It was passed to the Han Dynasty and added the five elements to create and restrain. The annotation of the hanging image says: "There is no Dharma image greater than the heaven and the earth; there is no hanging image greater than the sun and the moon; there is no changing image greater than the four seasons." The Dharma image summarizes all things in the world into eight objective substances: heaven, earth, water, fire, and mountains. , Ze, wind, and thunder, respectively became: "Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui." Therefore, the heaven and earth set dangers: "wind, thunder, mountain, Ze, water, fire" became objective concepts .
