"Zhou Bi Suan Jing", formerly known as "Zhou Bi", is one of the earliest mathematical works that has been handed down in my country to this day. It is also an astronomical calendar work. What's more coincidental is that "Zhou Bi" and "Zhou Yi" both have the word "Zhou" in their n

" Zhoubi Suanjing ", formerly known as " Zhoubi ", is one of the earliest mathematical works handed down in my country to this day, and it is also an astronomical calendar work.

Coincidentally, as we have said, " Zhouyi " also contains rich knowledge of astronomy, calendar and arithmetic.

"Zhou Bi Suan Jing"

What's more coincidental is that "Zhou Bi" and "Zhou Yi" both have the word "Zhou" in their names, and it is said that the secret of "Zhou Bi" was passed on to Duke Zhou , and the hexagrams and lines of "Zhouyi" were written by King Wen of Zhou .

The Paoxi (Fuxi) family established the Zhou Tian Calendar, which was passed down by the Duke of Zhou from Yin Shang , and the Zhou people aspired to it, so it is called "Zhou Bi". ("Book of Jin. Astronomical Records")

Even more coincidentally, it is said that the hexagrams in the "Book of Changes" were created by Fuxi, and the same is true for the astronomical numbers in "Zhou Bi".

"In ancient times, Fuxi, the king of the world, looked up to observe the images in the sky, and looked down to observe the laws on the earth. He observed the patterns of birds and beasts in accordance with the conditions of the earth. He took objects near and objects far away, so he began to make Bagua. "" Department of Ci "

The ancient Bao Xi (Fuxi) established the Zhoutian calendar. The sky cannot be ascended by steps, and the earth cannot be measured by its dimensions. How can I tell you how to proceed? " "Zhou Bi"

So, what is the connection between the "Zhou Tian Calendar" in "Zhou Bi" established by Fu Xi and the hexagrams in "Zhou Yi"? You might as well explore it in detail.

1. Who is Fu Xi?

When we were looking for the prototype of Fuxi, we said that Fuxi is not actually a person, but a star in the sky: Arcturus.

Arcturus is the largest and brightest star in the night sky in the northern hemisphere.

The huge Arcturus. , Comparison of the size of the sun

Like Fuxi, the legendary "king of the world", this star is also regarded as the location of the king of heaven

"The big horn, the king of heaven." ""Historical Records·Tianguan Shu"

Like the legendary Fuxi who "listened to the eight winds and drew the Eight Diagrams", this star was drawn as a " Zhang with two ears" in the astronomical map of " Classic of Mountains and Seas" What's even better is that there are three tripods on each side of the Arcturus, which form the two big wind-catching ears of Arcturus. The name is "sheti"

, which is the same as the legendary Fuxi with a dragon head. , Arcturus happens to be located at the leading position of the Qinglong in the East Palace.

Like Fuxi, who "sets up the celestial calendar" in the legend, Arcturus happens to be located in the direction pointed by the Dou Jian of the Beidou. It is also called " She Tige ", which is also the ancients. The key star used to formulate the calendar.

The Arcturus Zhidou Laiao refers to it.

"The Chao carries the dragon's horn... The one with the big horn is the emperor of the heaven... The Zhidou Lao refers to the season. In ancient times, it was called Shete Ge." ""Historical Records. Book of Heavenly Officials"

"Erya·Shitian" says: " Taiyin Zaiyin said to photograph Tige. " Coincidentally, Jiayin, the first year of the "Jiayin Yuan" calendar, is called "Yan Feng She Tige"!

2. Where is the dragon and horse?

According to legend, Fuxi's Bagua painting was inspired by the river brought out by the dragon and horse. Picture. Kong Anguo, a Confucian scholar of the Han Dynasty, said: " The river diagram is the Fuxi clan who ruled the world. The dragon and horse came out of the river, so he used his writing to draw the Eight Diagrams. "

Coincidentally, as we have said, the dragon horse that inspired Fu Xi, like Fu Xi, also comes from the constellation in the Qinglong Seven Constellations in the East Palace: Fang Su.

"Fang is the dragon horse" "The Classic of Filial Piety"

Fangsu

What’s more coincidental is that we also mentioned in the previous article that in the calendar of the “Jiayin Yuan”, the “first day of the first lunar month” at the beginning of spring is the “year of the king”. The iconic celestial phenomenon on this day is the Fang star. The sky is straight in the morning, like a huge Chinese watch standing in the southern sky.The author of "Book of Changes" described this celestial phenomenon as "riding a horse like a horse" and wrote it in the "Tuen" hexagram, which is second only to the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun.

What’s even more coincidental is that the Four Stars of Fangsu are not only compared to “horse-riding Banru”, but also known as “Four Biaos”, which are Chinese watches used to measure the four directions, and the character “骀” in “Zhou Bi”, Exactly what "table" means!

Bi, the stock; the stock, the watch. "Book of Jin. Astronomical Records"

What's even more coincidental is that the astronomical theory in "Zhou Bi" is mainly based on the theory of covering the sky:

The so-called "Zhou Bi" is the theory of covering the sky. ("Book of Jin. Astronomical Records")

And we have said that the reason why the ancient sky-covering maps are called "cover" is because their astronomical maps are usually drawn on the car covers, and the fifth of "Zhouyi" The fifteenth hexagram is called "寷 (Feng)", which means a huge car cover! And the ordinal number fifty-five happens to be the sum of the ten numbers of Hetu on Fangsu, the dragon horse! ! ! (The relationship between the "Feng" hexagram and the theory of Gaitian has been discussed previously in this series.)

The sum of the ten numbers in Hetu is fifty-five. Is the theory of Gaitian

a coincidence? What a coincidence! There are even more coincidences. Three, Liu峜[fǎ] and Jiujiu

In "Guanzi", both Fuxi's painting of the Eight Diagrams and the establishment of the Zhoutian Lidu are explained:

虙丝(Fuxi) made six caves to welcome yin and yang; The number of ninety-nine is used to unite the way of heaven and transform the world into it. The king of the Zhou people followed the six valleys and moved the yin and yang. "Guanzi: Qing and Chong Wu Chapter"

Mr. Li Xiangfeng pointed out that the "Liu Lai" written by Fu Xi should be the six methods of applying Bagua, and their specific applications are recorded in "Zhou Bi":

"According to "Tong Gua Experience" : "Mi Opera (Fuxi) is born, dust out the watch,..." The length of the shadows of the twenty-four qi dials in the volume is consistent with the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", and the meaning of "Six Methods" is consistent with the "Zhou Bi". Ming Dynasty. "Zhou Bi" says: "The winter solstice is from Kan, and the sun is at Zi, and the sun rises and enters Kun. The summer solstice is from Li, and the yin is at noon, and the sun rises and enters Qian." In ancient times, Tugui was used to measure the sun. Use the ruler's watch to measure the length of its shadow at noon every day to determine the twenty-four qi. Watch the rotation of the handle of the bucket at the spring and autumnal equinoxes. After the autumnal equinox, the sun moves northward and moves out of Gen and into Qian. . After the spring equinox, it moves southward, leaving Xun and entering Kun. The position of Zhendui does not change, but the remaining six positions have changed. Observe their changing positions, which is the "Xun" in "Tonggua Experience" today. ', if it is corrected, it will not be messed up. "

It can be seen that Fuxi's method of creating Bagua and "Liuxi" is related to "setting up an eight-foot watch" to measure the length of the sun's shadow.

Coincidentally, as we have said before, the house itself is the most standard Chinese watch in the sky. It is used to determine the beginning of spring on the calendar and is also the best reference for the "Li Zhou Celestial Calendar".

What’s more, the ancients said that “a horse eight feet long is a dragon”. The reason why Fangsu Si Ma is called a “dragon horse” is because the ancients also regarded it as a standard “eight feet long watch”!

After talking about "Liu Lao", let's take a look at Fuxi's "Make the number of ninety-nine to combine with the way of heaven", which is actually another way of saying "establishing the celestial calendar of the Zhou Dynasty" in "Zhou Bi".

The number ninety-nine is the "ninety-nine eighty-one" multiplication formula we mentioned in the "Numbers in Zhouyi" series.

"Tuen" hexagram "Chengma Banru"

Coincidentally, this ninety-nine and eighty-one is the product of four threes. And in the third hexagram "Tuen" of the "Book of Changes", the four horses of Fangsu's "horse riding Banru" happened to appear three times in total!

How many secrets of Fuxi are hidden in the number "three"?

How many unknown magical coincidences are hidden in the celestial phenomena of the third hexagram "Tuen" in "The Book of Changes"?
