The history of geography has a long history. In the long river of history, geography has experienced countless ups and downs, the content has changed from simplicity to complexity, from science to mystery, from simplicity to luxury; the object has changed from aristocrats to common people; the practice has changed from wise to sorcerer; the nature has changed from purity to chaos... Such phenomena are difficult to describe, and only a little bit of waves can be picked up and appreciated with the likes.
1, Bagua Application cognition confusion
Fuxi, Feng surname, also known as Mi Xi, Puci, Bao Ci, also known as Sacrifice Emperor and Huang Xi, is called Fu Ci in the Records of the Grand Historian. The ancestor of the Chinese nation's humanities, one of the three emperors, is respected as the god of blessing the country together with Nuwa . It is the earliest creation god in our country recorded in literature. Based on the changes of the world and all things, he invented and created the innate Bagua; created words, ending the history of "knotting ropes and recording events"; hunting with nets taught people how to fish and hunt.
Fuxi looked up at the sky, the clouds, rain, snow, thunder and lightning; he saw strong winds and fog on the ground, and observed birds and beasts. According to the changes of heaven and earth and yin and yang, inspired by the shape and distribution of tortoise shells, the Eight Trigrams were created, and eight simple but profound symbols were used to summarize everything between heaven and earth, so as to understand the virtues of gods and the emotions of all things.
Ancients believed that Wuji gave birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gave birth to Liangyi, gave birth to Four Symbols , and Four Symbols gave birth to Bagua. The Yin-Yang system of the Bagua represents the changes of things uses "one" to represent yang and "--" to represent yin. These two symbols are used to combine according to the changes of yin and yang in nature to form eight different forms, called Bagua.
Shang Dynasty In the late years, Wen King Wen Hang was imprisoned in Wenli Hang for seven years. Wen King is in adversity and studies hard, deducing After the innate Bagua of Fuxi, After the Bagua of Acquired Bagua , and then deducing it to the sixty-four hexagrams. At this point, the innate Eight Trigrams are the body, and the acquired Eight Trigrams are the use, and the body and function are all ready.
"Bagua", Yixue is used to divine, predicting good and bad luck in things;
"Bagua", geography is used to regulate qi, and is applied in direction, examining good and bad luck in mountains and rivers.
"Yi Xue" is an activity of divination and divination, using the "Eight Trigrams" sixty-four hexagrams, three hundred and eighty-four lines. Through the changes in the hexagrams, hexagrams, lines, and lines, we can judge whether good or bad, whether good or bad, and whether success or failure. What symbols and changes in hexagrams represent what meanings are they? Organizing the hexagram words into a book is called " Yijing ". Divination is a kind of induction reasoning. You first get the numbers, use numbers to get the images, use images to get the principles, and use reasons to infer good or bad luck. This is the "image, mathematics and physics" of Yi scholars. Divination itself reveals mystery and idealism and everywhere, and is known as witchcraft.
"Chiju" is an activity of looking up at astronomy and geography, using the "Eight Trigrams" to study the terrain, structure, orientation, etc. of the Yin and Yang house, and using the hexagrams to determine bad luck and goodness, bad luck and failure and success. Geography experts pay more attention to objective factors such as earth veins, mountain shape, and water flow. They have many contents and all aspects, involving the entire environment.
is also "gospel", and the application of "Yi Xue" and "geography" are essentially different.
"Yi Xue" watch the hexagram and line interpretation, and drawing lines to change images is a symbol, a symbol of principles and numbers, and is an empty code.
"Quanjian" uses hexagrams and lines to analyze the directions, which are mostly real, and are tangible and visible.
In ancient times, geomancy was often based on the shape of the hexagram. For example, the terrain of Chang'an City is divided by the six lines of the Qian hexagram to distinguish between noble and low. Yuwen Kai was an architect of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Sui built the new capital Daxing City (now Xi'an) and ordered Yuwen Kai to plan the overall plan. He used the earth ground to form six yang lines, from the bottom to the top, to build palaces in the second earth ground, the third earth ground to build yamen, and the fifth earth ground to build temples.
Zhang Li said in "The South of the City·Yonglefang": "Yuwen Kaicheng Daxing, because there is a large earth hill in the city, which is connected from east to west, which is like the six lines of Qian, so the residence of the emperor is placed in the ninth 2, and the hundred sects of the nine three are placed in response to the number of gentlemen. The nine five noble positions do not want ordinary people to live in it, so the Yuandu Temple is established, Daxing Shan Temple is established to maintain it, Yuandu Temple is located in Rongyefang, and Daxing Shan Temple is located in Jingshanfang. The post is suitable for the east and west of Yonglefang."
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the rationality of Beijing's construction of the capital was proved by public opinion. According to the posthumous Bagua, "The image of the sky is north of the sky. The post is said by the posthumous eight trigrams: "The image of the sky is north of the sky."
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the rationality of Beijing's construction of the capital was proved by public opinion. According to the posthumous gossip: "The image of the sky is north of the sky."
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the rationality of Beijing's construction of the capital was proved by public opinion. According to the posthumous gossip: "The image of the sky is north of the sky." If it is extreme, the power of the earth should also be extreme. For governance and virtue, it is like the North Chen, where the stars are arched by it. Today's capital is in the position of Gen, and the place where it is completed, between Zhen and Kan, and out of Zhen and Kan, to receive the return of all things. Since ancient times, the land where the capital has been built, the time of heaven and the terrain has been obtained, and the terrain has been obtained, and the hearts of the people have never been this. "
Why does this phenomenon occur?
Because people's cognition is limited by many conditions. For example, time, distance, interests, status, experience, education level, world outlook, environment, emotions and psychological habits, etc., all limit our understanding. It must be admitted that there are many misunderstandings in our cognitive ability.
" Zhuangzi·Qiu Shui ": "If the Beihai says: 'If the frogs cannot speak to the sea, they are bound by the emptiness; if the insects cannot speak to the ice, they are firm in the time; if the scholars cannot speak to the Tao, they are bound by the teachings."
The famous philosopher believes that cognition and understanding are conditional, and people's understanding of things must be restricted by the "pre-structure of understanding", such as social status, cultural background, customs and living conditions, etc. These factors play a preconceived role in cognitive activities. From this perspective, cognitive confusion is inevitable.
Because of the differences in knowledge, different geomancers use the same gossip, but geomancers have different or even opposite results.
In short, the chaos in cognition in the field of geoscience has led to chaos in the Feng Shui community. This is also one of the root causes of geography (feng shui) chaos.
