In the previous article, we learned about the innate gossip created by Fuxi, today we will learn about the acquired gossip deduced by Zhou Wenwang .
First, let’s look at the figure of the acquired gossip, which looks like this:
the acquired gossip
These eight hexagrams, their names are unchanged, but in the Houtian Eight Diagrams, their position and sequence have changed.
A small reminder, today’s content is very important, because acquired gossip is the most widely used in our daily life, the so-called "innate as the body, acquired for use". However, it is not easy for Xiaobai who has just been exposed to the I Ching to remember the position and number of the gossip of the day after tomorrow. So how do we remember? Today I will share with you some of my tips in my own learning process , I hope you can read the article patiently.
The position of acquired gossip
As we said before,The direction of gossip map is the opposite of the direction of the map we usually use.
In the gossip picture, goes up, south and down north, left east and right west , no matter innate gossip or acquired gossip, this is the same.
According to this principle, we can mark the position of each hexagram in the Houtian Eight Diagrams. We correspond the location, the name of the hexagram and the family characters mentioned last time, and the list is as follows:
First look at the four positive directions:
True South-Li gua (middle girl)
Positive North —— Kan Gua (middle male)
Zhengdongfang-Zhen Gua (long man)
West- exchange gua (maiden)
_p5 The information is also easy to determine:
southeast- Xun Gua (eldest daughter)
northeast- Gen Gua (young man) _span3 pspan (boy south) — Kun Gua (mother)
Northwest-Qian Gua (father)
Houtian gossip position notation: starting from Qian Gua, In a clockwise order, the formula is " dry kangen tremor, Xun Li Kun to ", so you can remember the general direction of the gossip. Combining with the principle of "up and south, down north, left east and right west", remember the specific directions represented by the eight hexagrams. We can compare it a little bit-Xiantian Bagua uses Qiankun (heaven and earth) as the north and south, Houtian Bagua uses Likan (sun and moon) as the north and south.
The numbers of the acquired gossip
After remembering the position, we must also keep in mind the numbers represented by the hexagrams of the acquired gossip.
can refer to the nine-square grid in the figure below:

block 8
The most important part is here, let’s talk about how to remember the numbers of the acquired gossip:
First of all, here is a formula for everyone to remember:
Left three right seven
two and four are shoulders,Six or eight are feet
Five in the center.
But even if you use mantras, it is difficult to match each hexagram to the number one by one.
Then we can also use some homophonic sounds to make associative memory . For example:
kan1 , you can think of "encountering a hurdle", because kan hexagram itself means sinking and difficult; _p1span _p1span _p5span
Sleepy", because Kun Gua represents the mother, and the mother cares about the son most.
