In the past, I came across this kind of hexagram, thinking that fate is great and that it is the hexagram of the princes of the officials. In fact, this is not the case at all. The so-called "Hou Gua" is just a code name. The Book of Changes is an example of the ancient political system. The central one is the emperor, the princes are in charge of all sides, and the great princes guard the twelve directions, so they are called the Hou Fang. The Book of Changes uses our ancient political system to illustrate the position and nature of these twelve hexagrams. It does not mean that when you reach the marquis, you must be a prince. The following author briefly describes the application of the twelve news hexagrams in the "Book of Changes" to all Yi friends.
1. Twelve message hexagrams
In ancient China, it was known that the yang lines and yin lines in the Eight Trigrams were used to represent the phenomenon of alternating yin and yang in the year. The rule formulated is the twelve Pi hexagrams (Pi is the monarch, so Pi hexagram is the king's hexagram) is also called the twelve news hexagrams (Yang's surplus is breath, Yin's enhancement is elimination, and one disappearance and one growth is mutual replacement is used to represent the twelve months of the year.
In October (before the winter solstice), the day is short and the night is long and the yin is strong and the yang is weak, so it is represented by the Kun hanging of the entire Yin line. After the winter solstice, the day gradually becomes longer, and the yang energy is growing day by day. Therefore, in November, the Fu hexagram, which is born with the Yang, is represented by the Fu hexagram. December is represented by the Lin hexagram of the two yangs, and so on.
Similarly, the yang energy has grown until April (before the summer solstice) is the peak, so the Qian hexagram of the full yang line is represented by the Qian hexagram. After the summer solstice, the night gradually grows, and the yin energy is growing day by day, so May is represented by the Gu hexagram, which is born in Yin. June is represented by the joint hexagram of the two Yins. It is not until it returns to the Kun hexagram of the full Yin line after ten months, and it begins again and again.
Some people also use the twelve Pi hexagrams to represent the situation of yin energy and yang energy disappearing and long in the twelve hours of a day. In the middle of the day, the hour of Hai is the most yin time, so the Kun hexagram of the full yin line is represented by the Kun hexagram. After Zi time, the yang energy gradually emerges, so the Fu hexagram of one yang is represented by the time of Yin, and the right place alternates with the day and night, so the yin and yang are half. Until the noon time, the yin energy gradually arises, so it is represented by the Gu hexagram, which is born with yin. After that, the yin energy gradually arises until the hour of Hai, and this cycle is like this.
with a mention that when the twelve hangs are circulated to Tai Gua , it happens to be the birth of three yangs, and it is the beginning of spring and the new year. The Tai Gua represents auspicious hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams, so there is the word " Sanyang Kai Tai ".
2. Twelve Pi hexagrams
What are the twelve Pi hexagrams? Pi means special purpose, and the twelve hexagrams represent the growth and decline of life and even the universe. According to the hexagrams of Qian and Kun, they are called the Twelve Pi hexagrams (the division of the solar terms is based on the Central Plains of China as the standard).
Among the twelve hexagrams, each hexagram is in charge of one direction, just like the princes are in charge of one direction, so it is also called the hexagram of the princes or the princes and kings.
In the diagram of these twelve Pi hexagrams, the names of the hexagrams from the inside to the outside are: (l) respectively. (2) Hexagram. (3) The month order to which twelve earthly branches belongs. (4)Lulu . (5) Twenty-four solar terms.
Next, we will explain each of the twelve hexagrams separately.
1, Kun Gua, the month of Hai, the beginning of winter Xiaoxue
This is the hexagram of the whole yin, the radiation energy between heaven and earth has been absorbed at this time; when it enters the earth, but the yin pole is yang, so after the beginning of winter in October, there will be a small spring, and there will be one or two days of wind turning to the southeast. When Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind, it is known? The principle of meteorology in the "Book of Changes" knows that after the beginning of winter in October, the northwest wind will definitely not blow every day. According to the calculation of meteorology, a southeast wind will definitely blow in one or two days, so it is pretended to be mysterious and build an altar to sacrifice wind. Anyway, if you can't borrow it for one day, you can wait for the east wind in the morning and evening. Sure enough, he waited for it and defeated Cao Cao 500,000 troops.
After Cao Cao was defeated, he read the "Yi" behind closed doors and studied the "First Jia, three days later Jia, three days later" and the beginning of winter in the Gu hexagram. It was the time when Kun hexagram was in power, and there was a reason for a yang to come back. He laughed and realized the principle of the southeast wind. Only after the losses of the 500,000 army were understood, the price was really not too high!
2. Winter replenishment, November. Fu Gua , Zi month, heavy snow on the solar term.
In November, the sun is coming and going. The sign of yang has been seen in the hexagram. Now it is the beginning of yang fire. The solar energy absorbed by the earth has begun to radiate outward again. At this time, we all feel that our appetite is good and our digestive ability is also improving. The beginning of the winter solstice is when everyone shouts the winter order to supplement it. It is not bad at all. The Fu Gua has already told us.
There are two solar terms in this month, heavy snow and winter solstice, and one yang returns. "Han Shu ?Lu Lizhi " says: "All things grow under, breed and sprout in the child, and bud in the ugliness." All things begin to grow and come out, so this moon is also called the Meng Yue.
3. Spring is coming soon, December. Lin Gua , Chou Month, the solar term is small and cold.
The current hexagram has two yangs. Although it is December, spring has arrived in the dark, the radiation energy inside the earth has gradually increased, and the changes will be revealed to the outside.
4. Three Yangs are in peace, the first month. Tai Gua, the month of Yin, the solar term is rainy and water.

When maintaining health, you should pay attention to the absence of reversals in life, relax your hair and move your body wide, and walk wide in the courtyard.
5. The earth is thundering, February. Da Zhuang, Mao month, the solar term is Jingzhe Spring Equinox.
The spring thunder blew, and the loud noise in the air woke up the hibernating animals, and now they spit out the mixed soil in their mouths and resumed their activities. This is the meaning of Jingzhe. The hexagram has already shown the four yang images, the yang energy has reached the ground, and the plants have also begun to grow.

At this time, you should pay attention to using yang-enhancing medicines, which are suitable for sweet and lightening dampness.
7. Dry and pure yang, April. Qian Gua, Si Month, the solar term begins and summer is small.
The current yang energy has reached the saturation point, and the extreme of things will reverse. The positive electrode will produce Yin. April is too dry, making people feel dull and the longest daytime. Up to this point, all of them are solar energy activities, called the first half of Liuyang.
html There are two solar terms in mid-January, the period of pure yang is dry in April, and the spring breeze comes, and the spring drought is out of control, and the day is gradually getting longer. But things will turn back when extremes, and the yin will be generated at the anode.
8. Drink a glass of realgar wine , May. The Gua is the month of Wu, and the solar term is in the summer solstice.

There are two solar terms in this month, Grain and Summer Solstice. It is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the yin has already grown. At this time, in the south, it is the season of plum rain in the plum rain. "Everyone is raining in the yellow plum season, and the green grass and ponds are everywhere." It is advisable to drink realgar wine and to remove dampness.

The two Yins are born, and there is a sign of withering in the dark. The wheat has been harvested, symbolizing that the year's hair growth season has passed. However, on the outside, the weather is hot. Although the internal decline is already very deep, there is still a line of yang energy in the earth. Using it, crops in another season can grow.
There are two solar terms in this month, the Little Heat and Great Heat. This month is the longest time during the day. As for this, the day is 59 minutes and 41 minutes at night (14.4 minutes per minute, 14.16 hours during the day, and 9.84 hours at night). The external heat has already occurred in the internal yin, and symptoms such as heat stroke, dampness and other diseases must be distinguished.
10, Gui Festival prayer, July. 号 , Shen month, solar terms begins 号 .
Three yangs and three yins. Autumn has arrived, and the outside of the world is about to begin a significant change. Although it is hot, the autumn is clear and cool. By the second half of the month, summer has all ended, autumn harvest has begun, and the weather is about to turn cold.

11. Appreciating the moon in mid-autumn, August. Guan Gua, the month of You, solar terms , white dew , autumnal equinox.
The harvest of autumn has been completed, the leaves are falling, and a solemn and murderous aura appears between the heaven and earth, because the Yin line has reached the outer hexagram. The work of harvesting and hiding in autumn is ready, and dew has fallen at night. How bright the moon is on August 15th.

Only a trace of yang energy exists in the world. At this point, the solar energy has been stripped to the end and is about to end. The late autumn wind is blowing, and the fallen leaves are flying all over the ground, and the branches have become bare. Except for the cold-resistant pine and cypress , if the winter clothes are not ready, you may suddenly feel frozen.
There are two solar terms in this month, cold dew and frost. At this time, the autumn wind is bleak and the fallen leaves are flying. "The mountain monk cannot understand how many Jiazi, and one leaf falls to tell the world autumn." There is only a little yang energy, and health care is about replenishing yang and suppressing yin. The vernal equinox and autumnal equinox are 50 minutes each, and the day and night are as long as it is. Therefore, the title of Confucius is "Spring and Autumn".
3. The moment of peeling off: the law of life
The twelve months mentioned above are the law of life on the earth. In terms of shrinking, the same is true for a day of life. The twelve hours of a day are also represented by Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai. This law of life is consistent with the law of human life. It is both at the moment of peeling off and recovering. With half of the twelve, six are and , six are yin and six are yang.
reaches the seventh place, which is another beginning. Therefore, in the Book of Changes, it is called the seven-day return, and the changes in the human body are also this law. As for the changes in the condition, we should also pay attention to the time factor.
