We all know that " Zhouyi " is the first of the classic works in ancient my country. It is a classic academic study that pays great attention to the five elements. From ancient times to the present, there have been many capable people and strangers studying the Book of Changes. The great sages of Confucianism in ancient my country, "Confucius". He is also one of the most sought after. There is an allusion called "Wei Bian Sanjue", which means that Confucius couldn't put it down after reading "The Book of Changes" in his later years. He was so fascinated that he broke the cowhide threads used to knit the "Book of Changes" three times. It is enough to see how attractive the wisdom and connotation in "The Book of Changes" are.
So how do you learn "The Book of Changes" well? Nowadays, people have basically no basic knowledge of the Book of Changes, so how can they quickly learn the academic subject of "The Book of Changes"? Today I have summarized some knowledge points, hoping to be helpful to everyone. Then I will start to introduce the specific content:
If you want to learn the Yi Jing, you cannot do without Tai Chi and Bagua, so first I will introduce some basic knowledge that you must know to get started.
1. About The origin of Tai Chi :
The so-called Tai Chi explains the universe from Wuji to Tai Chi, and even the process of the transformation of all things. Among them, Tai Chi is the state before heaven and earth are opened and chaos is not divided into yin and yang. I Ching series of words: "That's why the Yi has Tai Chi, which gives birth to two rituals." Liangyi are the Yin and Yang two Yi of Tai Chi. "Tai Chi" is the basic concept of and easy to learn . Tai Chi encompasses all things in the universe and the laws of the movement of heaven and earth. Tai Chi generates two rituals, namely the "yin" ritual and the "yang" ritual. The two dots inside, one black and one white, represent the characteristics of carrying yin and embracing yang, yin within yang, and yang within yin. It represents the two opposite but complementary qi of yin and yang contained in everything.
The connected horizontal line "—" represents the "Yang" in Tai Chi; while the two interrupted short lines "- -" represent the "Yin" in Tai Chi.
Tai Chi produces two forms: yin and yang; while two forms produce four images becomes "Shaoyin", "Shaoyang" and "Old Yin", "Old Yang"
2. About the content of Bagua:
First, let’s introduce the Bagua:
Qian Gua, Kan Gua , Gen Gua , Zhen Gua , Xun Gua , Li Gua , Kun Gua, Dui Gua
Qian (), Kan (), Gen (), Zhen (), Xun (), Li (), Kun (), Dui ()
The hexagram preface song of the Eight Trigrams:
Qian three links; Kun six breaks; Zhen Yang Yu; Gen covers the bowl; Li Zhongxu; The ridge is full; the upper part is lacking; the lower part is broken.
Bagua diagram is divided into two orders: innate Bagua and acquired Bagua.
Innate Bagua:
Innate Bagua , according to legend, it comes from Hetu. It is the universe that determines the north and south, and Kanli that determines the east and west. It is the order of heaven, south, and north. The sky is the stem on the top, the earth is the Kun below, the east is the left is Li, and the west is the Kan on the right. Therefore, the innate Bagua numbers are: Qian 1, Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7, and Kun 8. Its middle number is 0 to represent five or ten. 0 symbolizes the vitality of the universe. The sum of its ordinal pairs is nine.
The corresponding family palaces in the Xiantian Bagua are:
The father is in the south and the mother is in the north. The eldest son lives in the northeast, and the eldest daughter lives in the southwest. The middle man is in the due west, the middle woman is in the east, the young boy is in the northwest, and the young girl is in the southeast.
Houtian Bagua:
Houtian Bagua , which is said to come from Luoshu . It is Likan, which determines the north and south, and Zhendui, which determines the east and west. Therefore, the acquired Bagua numbers are: Kan 1, Kun 2, Zhen 3, Xun 4, Zhong 5, Qian 6, Dui 7, Gen 8, and Li 9. Its middle number is five, and the sum of the vertical and horizontal numbers of the opposite palaces is fifteen.
The corresponding family palaces in the acquired gossip are:
The father is in the northwest and the mother is in the southwest. The eldest son lives in the east, and the eldest daughter lives in the southeast. The middle man lives in the north, and the middle woman lives in the south. The boy lives in the northeast, and the girl lives in the west.
Now that we understand this, let’s start talking about the I Ching!
Yi is divided into three Yis, namely " Lianshan Yi ", " Guizang Yi " and "Zhou Yi". Among them, " Lianshan" and " Guizang" have been lost, and now there is only one Yi Jing, "Zhouyi".
Three, Three Yi introduction:
1, "Lianshan Yi":
"Lianshan Yi" was often called "Lianshan" in ancient times, with Gen (mountain) as the first hexagram, and mainly talks about the confrontation between Yin and Yang hexagrams. The four seasons six qi are used as the guide for prosperity and decline, the Liujia value talisman is used as the coordinate for judging good and bad luck, and the three yuan and nine lucks are used for 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.
2. "Gui Zang Yi":
"Gui Zang Yi" also became "Gui Zang". The Yi book is headed by kun, so it is called Gui Zang. " Zhou Li ·Chun Guan" says: " Taibu is responsible for the three Yi methods, one is called Lianshan, the second is called Guizang, and the third is called Zhouyi. Its hexagrams are all eight, and their differences are all sixty and four. "It means that "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Zhouyi" are three different methods of divination, but they are all composed of 64 individual hexagrams that overlap 8 sutra hexagrams.
3. "The Book of Changes":

④ Yao Ci, one hexagram has six lines in total, that is, it is composed of six symbols. Each line has a meaning. The diction that expresses this meaning is called Yao Ci. One hexagram has six lines, so there are six lines in total. Under the hexagrams, the six lines have "nine" and "liu" as line titles, is the yang line is called nine, and is the yin line is called six. The six lines of a hexagram are from bottom to top. If it is a yang line, it is the ninth day of the lunar month, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five, and the upper nine; if it is a yin line, it is the sixth day of the lunar month, sixty-two, sixty-three, and sixty-four. , six five, on six.
