(1) The hexagram of Xian hexagram is that witches use meteorites to practice medicine
The lower hexagram of Xian hexagram is Gen, and the upper hexagram is Dui. Gen represents mountains and rocks, and small stones can be used as meteorites, so Gen has the image of meteorites and needles; Dui represents a girl, a tongue, and a witch. Taken together, the images of the upper and lower hexagrams of the Xian hexagram represent a young witch holding a bianstone and a needle to practice medicine.
We believe that the hexagrams of Xian Gua describe the image of witches using meteorites to prick needles for patients. In the sixth Yao, needles are used to prick the thumb acupoints on the feet; in the Sixty-second Yao, needles are used to prick the calf acupoints; in the Ninth and Third Yao, needles are used to prick the thigh acupoints; in the Ninth and Fifth Yao, needles are used to prick the back acupoints; in the Upper Sixth Yao, needles are used to prick the facial acupoints.
The ninety-fourth line says: "Zhenji, regret for death, longing for exchanges, and friendship with you." This line does not have a specific description of acupuncture treatment, but is a general discussion of the treatment situation.
"Zhenji, regret for death" means that after divination, you feel that using acupuncture to stimulate acupuncture points to treat diseases is auspicious and there will be no regrets. "Looking forward to the exchanges, friends follow your thoughts", which means that the meridian qi flows smoothly after acupuncture stimulation, and the patient's meridian qi can follow the psychological intention of the acupuncturist.
(2) From the treatment of diseases with Bianstone and needles to the love and wedding ceremony between men and women
Since the line describes the phenomenon of using acupuncture to treat diseases, why does the hexagram say that prosperity, divination is beneficial, and marrying a wife is auspicious?
The hexagram says: "Heng, Li Zhen, and get good luck from women. "Why are there inconsistencies between the line and the hexagram?
According to ancient Chinese medical knowledge, such as the "Huangdi Neijing" and other classic medical works, human illness is due to the imbalance of yin and yang, and the appearance of yin and yang. Imbalance, specific to the human body twelve meridians or eight extra meridians , we can stimulate the acupoints on these meridians to connect yin and yang and restore the balance of yin and yang, or re-establish a new yin and yang balance mechanism to regulate, Regulates the movement of Qi and blood in the human body, thereby curing diseases and restoring health. The so-called illness means that the qi and blood in a certain part of the body encounters blockage or the yin or yang qi is blocked.
Men and women are in harmony with each other, that is, the yin and yang qi of the man and the woman are connected. The so-called "the two qi are in harmony with each other." Men and women are ruthless, which means that men and women are not connected. Gen is a boy, which is yang; Dui is a girl, which is yin. Gen is at the bottom and Dui is at the top. It shows that the two qi of yin and yang are intertwined and connected. Yang Qi originally resides at the top, and Yin Qi originally resides at the bottom. Now Yang Qi comes from the top to the bottom, and Yin Qi comes from the bottom to the top, which creates the intersection of Yin and Yang Qi.
The sixth chapter of the sixth chapter says that stimulating the thumb acupuncture point of the foot with acupuncture is actually to make the yin energy or yang energy flow through, so that the meridians of the human foot can connect the qi and blood. In terms of the connection between yin and yang, treatment is connected with the relationship between men and women. The first six lines can be compared to the beginning of love between men and women. Perhaps it can be further imagined that in ancient times, a young boy fell ill and was cured by a young witch. It is not impossible that he developed feelings for her and fell in love with her.
According to ancient etiquette, when a man comes down to a woman, he should give gifts to his bride. Therefore, Xunzi said: "The saltiness of Yi is seen as a couple." ("Xunzi·General Introduction")
Regardless of acupuncture treatment or the relationship between men and women, yin and yang need to be corresponding and balanced. That is to say, "the two qi are induced by Therefore, it is understandable that "彖传" emphasizes induction and the correspondence of yin and yang.
