In the last article, we learned some basic knowledge about the sixty-four hexagrams. When you see the sixty-four hexagrams, will you feel fear? It feels more difficult to understand and remember than . In fact, this does not require memorization . As long as you understand the connotation of each hexagram and each line, and understand the essence and wisdom of " the Book of Changes ", you will know everything . Many people who are confused in life will figure out .
A friend commented: " Those who are good at Yi do not know, and those who learn Yi have no worries." I very much agree with this sentence. This is the principle that should be observed and practiced. Confucius said: Those who know how to change do not predict. Xunzi said: Those who are good at changing do not predict.
I have studied the "Book of Changes" for many years, but I am still confused about the numbers in it. I only know what it is, but I don't know why it is . Various views on in academia include . Only after I listened to Taiwan Normal University Professor Zeng Shiqiang's lecture did I really understand the mystery of the numbers in "The Book of Changes".
Let’s play a little game. The name of the game is: 6789 from 1234.
A copper plate (can be replaced by a coin), it has two sides, front and back. is one yin and one yang . A copper plate, get the number 1, front and back , get the number 2. 1 and 2 come out.
We took three copper plates and got the number , and 3 came out.
these three copper plates, rotate them at the same time. There will be four results: three copper plates are all positive , is one positive and two negative, two positive and one negative are all negative . Four results, the numbers are obtained, and 4 comes out.
positive is yang , we use number 3 to represent it. The opposite of is , which is the negative of . We use the number to represent 2.
Rotate three copper plates each time, add the numbers represented by the three copper plates, and four numbers will appear:
All tails: 2+2+2=6;
Two tails and one head: 2+2+3=7 ;
is all positive: 2+3+3=8;
is all positive: 3+3+3=9.
gets 6789 in this way, and 6, 7, 8, and 9 come out.
such launched 6789 through 1234. A copper plate gets 1. The front and back sides get 2, the three copper plates get 3, and the three copper plates are turned together, four results appear, and 4 is obtained. Four different results were obtained: 6, 7, 8, 9. For , we call six Laoyang , seven Shaoyang , eight Shaoyin , and nine Laoyang .
Why is six called Lao Yin, seven called Shaoyang, eight called Shaoyin, and nine called Lao Yang?
We know that in the day, in the morning , the sun has come out, and it is starting to heat up above. The ground is not hot yet, but it is still relatively cool, so it is called Shaoyang. When noon, it is called . Laoyang, at dusk, the heat below has not receded, but it has begun to get cold above, it is called Shaoyin. By late at night, the sky and the earth are already very cold, it is called Lao Yin .
From this, everyone knows that Yang expands and Yin contracts. Yang slowly expands from Shaoyang to Laoyang, and Yin slowly shrinks from Shaoyin to Laoyin, so In numbers, Yang is from Shaoyang 7 to Laoyang 9, and Yin is from Shaoyin 8 to Laoyin 6.How did you get
?
In numbers, odd numbers are yang and even numbers are yin, because yin is the contracted , 8 is looser than 6, slowly shrinks from 8 to 6 , yang is the expanded , slowly enlarges from 7 to 9, so the idiom seven up and eight down came into being.
The anode turns to negative, and the cathode turns to positive, which is constantly changing. Take a look at the picture below, and you will slowly understand and realize some things.
In the "Book of Changes", yang nine and yin six are used as a fixed symbol. Why not express them as yang seven and yin eight?
Let me talk about the doubts in the previous article here.
One way of saying it: We look at Kun Gua, Earth, which is composed of three broken Yin lines, which adds up to a total of of 6 segments..
The second way of saying is that in the basic hexagram, Kun hexagram, earth, each line is Yin, represented by the number 2, the three lines are all Yin. The total number of is six .
There is another saying, is old yin, 9 is old yang, the most yin 6 represents yin, and the most yang 9 represents yang .
So in the "Book of Changes", nine is usually used to represent yang , six is used to represent yin , yang nine yin six is regarded as a very fixed symbol in the Yi Jing, in the sixty-four hexagrams The yang line is represented by nine, and the yin line is represented by six by six.
Understand this, and we will understand the meaning of many numbers in the "Book of Changes".
Friends, don’t you find it very interesting? You can not only learn knowledge , but also understand many principles . Therefore, when we study the "Book of Changes", we must relax our mentality and treat learning as a game , slowly realized. welcomes friends to discuss in the comment area.
We always think that the divination function in the Book of Changes is mysterious and mysterious. Let us learn about it slowly, carry forward the traditional culture, and enter the ocean of wisdom of the Book of Changes.
The next article continues to talk about a game of divination.
