Chapter 3 the third part

Heavenly Stems and Five Elements In addition to the five elements, stems and branches must be added. The divination to be learned does not have any secrets. It is nothing more than the five elements divination. The focus is on the five elements, not on the gossip.Really using hexagrams to judge things is another system, so strictly speaking, the two systems of five elements and eight trigrams are separate.But for thousands of years, everyone has mixed it up. Now we are introducing the Tiangan culture, which is also very ancient.We study the history of development and the history of Chinese cultural development, and know that Tiangan culture is also much older than "Book of Changes".We can now find out the heavenly stems and earthly branches from oracle bone inscriptions, which shows that the source of this culture is very early.The earliest development of the Chinese was astronomy, and when it developed to the highest level, it was summed up and represented by ten symbols. These ten symbols were named Tiangan, also known as "Tianji", but "Tiangan" was a noun used after the Han Dynasty. , In fact, "Tianwo" should be used instead of the word "Tiangan".Tiangan is the law of the five elements, which means: "In this solar system, the earth and the outer planets interfere with each other." In terms of current geophysics, it is said that the radiation function of the earth and each planet absorbs and interacts with each other. take effect.For example, the radiation of solar energy has greatly interfered with the human beings on earth, especially those who study communication, electronics, and space science are very clear, and we in China have long understood that the movement of such celestial bodies and the movement of the physical world, we use Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water are represented, illustrating the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint.However, with the progress of human culture, the law of birth and restraint of the five elements is not enough. Therefore, our ancestors discovered the dual functions of the five elements. In the physical world, celestial bodies used ten symbols, which are A, B, C, and D. , Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, and the compiled patterns are as follows:

heavenly stems and five elements When you see the pattern on the previous page and match it with the five-element pattern in front, you can know that Jiayi wood is in the east, Bingding fire is in the south, Gengxin metal is in the west, Rengui water is in the north, and Wuji soil is in the center. The question here is that Dongfang or Mu both have a direction or a kinetic energy, so why are they represented by two symbols, A and B?There is another rule in the middle, and this set of rules is very useful in Chinese fortune-telling and divination.If you learn fortune-telling for the sake of fortune-telling, I don't agree.But I found that this set of rules of fortune-telling and divination in China contains a lot of scientific and philosophical principles. Unfortunately, because of ancient political thinking, they are unwilling to develop science, so this set of good rules has to be used by fortune-telling and divination. Gua develops in this respect.Fortunately, there are fortune tellers and divination people who can keep this set of rules. From another perspective, they are indeed great.So when someone said that fortune-telling and divination are superstitions, I asked them if they understood, but they didn’t understand. For what they didn’t understand, they just added a crime, referring to it as “superstition” and “deception”. , What a terrible arbitrariness this is.This set of laws has been passed down for thousands of years, and those who really study it are the first-class smart people. Just imagine that the first-class smart people have been studying it for four thousand years. Deceitful truth.If we want to criticize it, we might as well study the method of its deception first, and then we can draw conclusions after we have studied it and then say it is superstition.I haven't studied it myself, and I don't understand it, so I call it a deceptive superstition. This is the real superstition-superstition of my own arrogance.It's a pity that no one pays attention to it now, there is not a lot of investment, and there is not enough experimental equipment and places.Otherwise, if you experiment, you can find that there are many scientific reasons for this law. For example, airplanes, there were airplanes as early as the Warring States Period, but they were unmanned aircraft that did not sit on people and were made of wood.In the Jin Dynasty, someone also made a bird. After it was released, it would fly in the air without human control, and would land on the same place after a certain period of time. This is evidenced in history.Even the Chinese musical instruments and some utensils that are still preserved today, such as the copper pot hourglass, etc., were all invented and manufactured according to this set of laws. At that time, there was no modern scientific formula, but this set of rules was not used to develop science.Why didn't ancient China use this set of laws for scientific development?This also has its reason, because the more developed the material civilization, the higher the human desire, and the higher the human desire, the more chaotic the society is. This is Chinese humanistic thinking.

dry yin and yang But this set of rules comes from science, such as Oriental wood, why is it represented by the words A and B?And become Jiamu and Yimu?Jia wood represents the element of growth, Yi wood represents the formed, in other words, Jia wood represents the physics of hair growth, and Yi wood represents the formed substance.The same is true of C and D, C representing the element of fire, and D representing the forming fire.This is true for Wuji, Gengxin, and Rengui.And this is divided into Yin and Yang in the middle, such as Jia wood is Yang wood, Yi wood is Yin wood, C is Yang fire, D is Yin fire, Geng is Yang metal, Xin is Yin metal, Ren is Yang water, Gui is Yin water, and Wu is Yin water. It is Yang soil, and oneself is Yin soil.For example, in Chinese medicine, in the "Internal Classics", when a woman's first menstruation comes, in ancient my country, it was considered impolite to directly tell a woman's secrets, so it was said that "a woman is fourteen and the sky is guizhi".Why not say "Tianren" to?Because menstruation is formed water, and women belong to yin, it is called "Tiangui".If you integrate this set of things, you can find that it is not superstition, but science, at least ancient Chinese science, and this kind of science has been maintained in human culture for many years.

When it comes to Tiangui, it involves Chinese medicine. Regarding the human body, the most popular acupuncture and moxibustion has a book titled "Jing Jia B". , fire belongs to the heart, metal lungs, water belongs to the kidneys, and earth belongs to the spleen.The relationship between the five elements and internal organs is now understood, so metal produces water, and when there is a problem with the lungs, the kidneys must be deficient. Therefore, people with lung diseases will turn red, but the water in the kidneys will be insufficient, and the anger will rise.When the lung disease is quite serious, the renal pelvis will be particularly enlarged, which is kidney deficiency. Therefore, it is difficult to learn Chinese medicine because it not only pays attention to the individual functions of internal organs, but also pays attention to the mutual influence of physiological functions and pathological factors, which is the principle of birth and restraint.Western medicine treats the head for headaches, and treats feet for foot pains.Headache is only a symptom of the disease, not the root cause of the disease.Because of the relationship between birth and restraint, any internal organ can produce headache symptoms, so clever Chinese medicine pays attention to qi transformation. For example, a person suffering from diabetes is a disease of kidney water, but it must be related to heart fire, and the heart will also Affected, problems occur, this is the principle of the five elements of restraint (here to add a point, the five elements of restraint, each "element" is related to the other four "elements", such as "earth" is the birth of gold, restrain the water , but it was also born by fire and restrained by wood).Therefore, Chinese medicine can hold its ground, and the same is true for acupuncture and moxibustion. According to the medical principles of Chinese medicine, those who are sick at the top should be treated at the bottom; those with the bottom should be treated at the top; Those who are sick inside are treated outside, and those who are sick outside are treated inside.For example, Chinese medicine says that the liver is born on the left side, but Western medicine is wrong. In fact, Chinese medicine is not wrong at all, because Chinese medicine does not talk about material form, but gasification. Chinese medicine says that the liver is born on the left side, because the liver belongs to wood. Left, this is the gasification of the five elements, so it is right for the liver to be born in the left.It can be seen from this that people must read "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic". After understanding the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", they will understand the way of health preservation and how to practice Taoism.

earthly branch The combination of the five elements and the heavenly stems covers a lot, and then it is different when they cooperate with the earthly branches.There are twelve Earthly Branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.Some people write "diji" in the earthly branch, which means the division of dryness, but it is actually "branch", the supportive branch.The function of the earth itself is also the function of the moon and the earth in the solar system, and the relationship between solar terms, which will be described in detail later.

Let me first introduce here that there are two schools of medicine in ancient China. In terms of health preservation, one school focuses on the stomach and the other focuses on the kidneys.Most of all diseases come from the stomach, but in my experience, doctors in the south pay attention to the stomach, especially for elderly people, while doctors in the north pay attention to the kidneys.Young people should also pay attention to the maintenance of the kidneys. Kidney deficiency in young people will cause all symptoms to appear after middle age.The more liberal the education on sex knowledge, the more diseases young people will suffer from. The reason is kidney deficiency, so we must take care of it.

With regard to the set of earthly branches, if we only study the academic thoughts and general principles of "Book of Changes", there is no need to study the five elements and the stems and branches.If you want to understand the relationship between the eight trigrams used in astronomy and geography in China for thousands of years, you must first understand the five elements.A professor of science wrote a letter from abroad to ask some questions, because a book was recently published abroad, which believed that there is a hole in the north and south poles of the earth, and there is another world in the hole, and there are human beings, and the flying saucer also came out from the center of the earth. wait.These are all related issues.I wrote back and told him that this is not unusual. The Chinese have long said that the earth is mobile. As for whether there are humans in the center of the earth, it is another statement.Regarding the issue that the earth’s central and southern poles are connected, Taoism said this thousands of years ago, and also said that all parts of the earth are connected. There are books to prove these words, but we all didn’t pay attention to it.There is also a saying that there is a hole behind the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, which can lead to Nanjing.However, there is another school in the West, which says that human beings come from space. There is also this saying in ancient China, and it is also said by Taoism. Can be found in Daozang.

The above story is to illustrate that the idea of ​​the Five Elements and Ganzhi has an absolute relationship with primitive astronomy and geophysics. Unfortunately, it was only used in divination and fortune-telling. This is only because our past culture did not develop towards science. The heavenly stems have been introduced before, and now we will introduce the earthly branches.As mentioned above, the Earthly Branches are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, twelve Earthly Branches.What are Earthly Branches?According to our modern concept, it is the earth itself, running in the solar system, and the interfering relationship with the various planets. There is an invisible force supporting it, which is called the earth branch.

We know that there are ten heavenly stems, which are the two poles of the five elements, that is, the changes of yin and yang in the five elements.The branches are six digits, which are twelve digits due to changes in the way of yin and yang.As for the origin of these names, it has little to do with the "Book of Changes". It is another system of theories in traditional Chinese culture, which has also been mentioned before.As for the definition of each character of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, there are many explanations, and it is difficult to make a conclusion as to which one is completely correct; for example, the child is the phenomenon of the occurrence of all things, the fifth is the meaning of the hub, etc., each has its own interpretation, Let's not discuss it for now.In addition, based on the history of Chinese cultural development, from the perspective of military philosophy, when looking at the ten heavenly stems such as A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui, some people interpret them as representatives of the ten ancient weapons, such as "A" is a sharp weapon mounted on a wooden pole, "B" is a knife, etc. There is no consensus, and there is no conclusion on which one is correct.

Earthly Branches and the Zodiac There are twelve earthly branches, representing twelve months.What is the earthly branch actually?It is the synonym for the twelve signs of the zodiac in astronomy.The so-called "palace" is the location; the so-called "ecliptic" is the circle around which the sun rises from the east and sets to the west, which is called the ecliptic plane.This zodiac plane is different every month.If we look at the sky at night, each constellation comes out from the east, and there are a total of 28 constellations (the knowledge of astronomy was the most developed in China in ancient times), and the positions of these 28 constellations on the zodiac are also different every month. ; Therefore, according to this phenomenon, it is abstractly summarized into twelve parts, represented by twelve characters.In fact, this is an astronomical phenomenon, which has become an abstract knowledge and constitutes the role of fortune-telling in later generations.This set of knowledge seems to be very simple now, but if you really explore it with your heart, there is a lot of knowledge in it. It can also be seen that the cultural wisdom and scientific philosophy of our ancestors in ancient times have been developed to the highest peak; Complexity, the wisdom of ordinary people cannot accommodate such a genius.So it was simplified and represented by the five elements, heavenly stems, and earthly branches, so that everyone can understand it. Only when the culture reaches the highest level can it become the most simplified.But its disadvantage is that later generations only know how to use it, but they don't know why.

This abstract noun actually has something in it, and it contains a lot of knowledge; it is a pity that our later generations only use it in the aspects of reading, fortune-telling, and divination. Sixty sixties and historical verification Our sixty sixties are based on the stems and branches, such as Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin, Dingmao... In this way, when the heavenly stems and the earth are dominated, they can represent the celestial body of the solar system and the earth to produce all changes; among them, The weather changes are the largest, most obvious, and easy to see.The changes of all things are different, so the stems and branches are used to cooperate, and the yang of the heavenly stems matches the yang of the earthly branches, the yin of the heavenly stems matches the yin of the earthly branches, the yang matches yang, and the yin matches yin. There are sixty matches, forming a cycle, and starting from Jiazi, so it is called Liushihuajia. This kind of sixty sixty sixty sixty sixty sixty sixty sixty-sixty-year-old man doesn't use it much anymore, but is it really good?In the future, it can be seen that it is very good.It records the movement of celestial bodies, a great revolution in sixty years, regardless of the precession (that is, the so-called degree in astronomy, that is, the ancient saying that the sun and the earth move one degree a day, and three hundred and sixty-five degrees and a quarter of One is a year; with three hundred and sixty days as a year, there is still a surplus, and the remaining degrees are accumulated to become a hole moon. One day, because the method is different, the number is the same), but the sixty sixty-year-old number, the number of the universe for hundreds of millions of years, is not the same, this is a very great law.Just look at the history of China, each dynasty has changed, the emperor has changed, and the year name has changed, but the age of sixty sixties is fixed, and it must change every sixty years. If this law is expanded, it will be more useful.For example, when Tang Yao came to the throne, that is, the day when he took office as emperor, it was the Jiachen year. Later, the calculation of Shaokang Festival and general calculations all used this stem and branch as the standard, which is more well-documented in history; , there is a phenomenon of five stars uniting beads, that is, the five stars of gold, wood, fire, water, and earth are arranged in a row in the sky, and there are certain celestial phenomena that appeared at that time. It is called Shangyuan Jiazi, the second 60 years is Zhongyuan Jiazi, the third 60 years is Xiayuan Jiazi, a total of 180 years; and then expanded, the first 180 years is Shangyuan , the second one hundred and eighty years is Zhongyuan, and the third one hundred and eighty years is Xiayuan, which is neatly and tightly set up like a series of sets; and then use the law of Jiazi to cooperate with evolution, and you will know The phenomena of history, society, and human beings have changed over the years and how they have changed; combined with Chinese astronomy, we can calculate who should appear. This is a wonderful law discovered by us Chinese. It can also be said to be a Confucian Confucius What Mencius said in his thoughts is "the unity of man and nature".From a logical point of view, this is bound to change, and things in the universe will inevitably change at a certain time.As for what happened?Once you understand this great law, you can know what will happen from the hexagrams.But those who know about it, most of them don’t say anything, because they are afraid of revealing the secrets; the ancients said, “It’s unlucky to see the fish in the deep water”, the eyes are too sharp, and you can see several fish in the water clearly, which is not auspicious. Even if such people are not short-lived, they will suffer from cataracts, because they use their eyesight too much; cleverness cannot be used too much, so it is not auspicious to know everything in advance.It is really highly cultivated, knowing everything in advance, becoming ignorant, and becoming confused due to extreme wisdom. This is something that a few cultivated people can do, but ordinary people cannot do it. Now look at the earthly branches again, and arrange them in a circle: Why is it drawn as a circle?Because the earth and celestial bodies are round. Chinese zodiac As for the zodiac signs of the twelve earthly branches, they are the rat, the ugly ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the pig.According to my research, this set of zodiac signs was passed down from India during the Han Dynasty.The twelve earthly branches of India at that time were not exactly like ours, but were represented by cultural abstract symbols, represented by animals, which later became the interpretation of Chinese culture.Zi is a mouse, and the number of mouse claws is five, and an odd number is yang; ugly is an ox, because two lobes of the cow's hooves are yin;It is said that this is the order, but "there is a reason for the incident, and there is no factual evidence".According to the "Ancient and Modern Book Collection·Ganzhibu": "The twenty-eight mansions of heavenly birds and earthly stars are divided into the sky, and the twelve celestial days are the beginning of the twelve zodiac signs." This concept was unearthed in recent years. The bronze wares of the Western Han Dynasty and the ancient inferences of the astrology inscriptions in Han tombs make this theory very possible. Earthly Branches and Numerology To develop this set of great rules into small knowledge, and use it in fortune-telling, fortune-telling, and even in the investigation and judgment of murder cases, there is such knowledge in "Washing Injustice Records".There are six Chong on the Earthly Branches, which can also be seen from the circle in front, all those opposite each other are Chong, such as Zi and Wu, Chou and Wei, Yin and Shen, Mao and You, Chen and Xu, Si and Hai. conflicting.Chong is not necessarily bad, and some have to rush.Opposite is opposite, which is also the truth of the wrong hexagram.In fact, the so-called Chong means that the twenty-eight constellations are on the ecliptic plane, and when they come to the angle of the sun, it is called Chong; if it is opposite to the direction of the Sun, this is called Conjunction. From the perspective of the circle diagram, if the positions are equal, it is Conjunction (such as Zi and Chou). He, Yin and Hai, Mao and Xu, Chen and Xi, already and Shen, noon is the sun, and the moon is not the Liuhe. Among the twelve earthly branches, there are also two, three, etc.).Here we also need to have a concept, the twenty-eight mansions are in the positions of the twelve signs of the zodiac, and the opposition to the sun becomes opposition. Chong is not an ugly word, but an obstacle. Then combine the domination of heaven and earth into one picture, which is the so-called Na Jia. Najia and Yishu Matching like this, the Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei of the Earthly Branches are all vacant.The positions of the heavenly stems are: Jiayi wood in the east, Bingding fire in the south, Gengxin gold in the west, Rengui water in the north, and Wuji soil in the center. They match the earthly branches and are named Najia.That is, the five elements, eight trigrams, heavenly stems, and earthly branches are all summed up together. Match the eight trigrams with the previous round diagram, and use the position Najia in the congenital Fuxi gossip diagram, which is Gannajia, Kunnayi, Gennabing, Duinading, Wuji in the middle, Zhennageng, Xunnaxin, Li Nanren, Kannagui. Now look at the twelve months of the year, the table of six yin and six yang—that is, the twelve divination hexagrams, representing the great effect of weather changes in a year.Applying Najia to this aspect is another different formula, so you need to memorize several different formulas when learning elephants and numbers.Before understanding these formulas, one must first understand the yin and yang of numbers.Numbers are divided into Yin numbers and Yang numbers, which also mean double and single, such as the odd character of Qimen Dunjia.All one, three, five, seven, and nine are positive numbers; two, four, six, eight, ten and other even numbers are negative numbers, also known as even numbers.The highest number of yang is nine. We read Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteous Qi" "呱yu遘阳九", which means that we have reached a dead end, and our luck has come to an end. Because nine is the pole of yang, the anode has reached a dead end.And "ten" has come to another element of one. In terms of mathematics, it will always be a "one".One plus one is equal to two, and the singular number reaches "nine" as the extreme number, so the Zhongyang line is represented by nine, such as the six lines of the Qian hexagram are all Yang lines, so they are called the ninth day, the second day, the third day, and the fourth day. , ninety-five, upper nine, etc.; yin numbers are counted backwards, ten, eight, six, four, two, which means that yin and yang are reversed.The five even numbers of the Yin number are "six" in the middle, and the Yin number is selected because the Yin number is even and relative, and the number in the middle is the key point, so the Yin line is represented by "Six"; such as the six in the Kun hexagram Yao is called the sixth day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, and the sixth day.As I said before, gossip is drawn from bottom to top. If someone uses the method of "six" and "nine" to represent Yin and Yang, he will report the numbers of the six lines at will, such as the ninth day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day. , Shangjiu, etc., we can draw the mouth, this hexagram. You can see it from this principle. If you really understand it, you just need to pinch your fingers and do the math.If you understand mathematics and science, it will be easier to learn computers.This is correct, and it also proves that the mathematics invented by our ancestors in ancient times is even more advanced than the current computer mathematics.The principles of the universe are one increase and one subtraction, very simple; just like a scale, one high and one low, one end is high, the other end must be low, so only addition and subtraction, including multiplication and division, also includes all mathematics; this It’s not a big deal, the most developed human wisdom is the most simplified, using only these ten numbers, the laws of the universe can be summed up, as long as one is added and one is subtracted to calculate it, you can understand.So the mathematical philosophy is not the foundation, nor is it the beginning, but the most brilliant induction to such a simplified one.So after you really understand it, all the most profound mathematics will become simplified.From the point of view of numbers, we only have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. If we speculate, the affairs and physics between heaven and earth are all in the palm of our hands.People who have learned it are just like the Taoist boast: "The universe is in hand, and everything can be transformed by the heart." So this is the crystallization of our culture. It is ominous for those who see deep fish The function of divination that I talked about before, because I must understand all the strange things, after I understand it, I never play it.You can play with these things, but you must have a principle and not be superstitious.The so-called non-superstition means not to put all human wisdom on it. If you put all your wisdom on it, it will not work. It’s okay to use it for reference occasionally, but don’t affect your psychology. Sometimes it’s very good. The same is true of religious ideas.Secondly, what needs to be clarified is: "Those who are good at changing cannot predict." Once a person really understands it, he will not count it as a divination. Once a thing moves, he will know its law, and there is nothing to count. Success or failure depends on his own heart. There should be a number.Another concept, even if you can "predict the future", it is not good, "It is ominous to see the deep fish", and the principle of being a human is the same.Don't be too shrewd, especially as a leader, sometimes you have to be a little sloppy about some small things below, open your eyes and close your eyes, and let it go when you are angry. He scolds me as soon as he scolds me.Be sure to make it clear that "it is unlucky to see the fish in the deep", even the fish at the bottom of the deep water, how many fish are in the muddy water in the river, and how they are moving can be seen clearly. Don't think you are very shrewd. Auspicious, maybe he will die early, because his spirit is overused.The above principles must be grasped, so that people will be comfortable. Master Jiao Jing and Guo Pu Now let’s talk about the method of divination. In Chinese tradition, divination is the main way.In ancient times, it was used for divination. After Confucius, it was used in humanities and culture.The painted gossip, of course, was originally used for divination. Why do humans need divination?It is not only China that has divination, but all nations in the world have divination. Of course, each nation uses different methods, but none of them are as clever as ours in China.This involves a philosophical issue, that is, human wisdom.People in the past, present, and future have many things they cannot know.For example, what about tomorrow?what about me tomorrowNo one is sure about the answers to these questions, even the next second, but people want to know, so things like divination come into being.After the existence of divination in China, several factions have emerged over thousands of years. I can point this out and tell you.The ancients were mostly trapped by the study of the Yi, not knowing that the "Yi" has no definite rules.After some people understood the "Yi", they created other rules themselves, such as the famous Jingjiao Yi in the Han Dynasty.Jingjiaoyi is the name of two people, Jing refers to Jingfang, and Jiao refers to Jiao Yanshou, that is, Jiao Gan.Jing Fang was his student, and Jiao Gan wrote "Yi Lin", also known as "Jiao Shi Yi".Among them, the eight, eight, sixty-four hexagrams and the evolution of the hexagrams are all explained. The hexagrams used are not used in "Zhouyi", and they create another set by themselves. , It is equal to the signature poems of each temple, related to the emperor's signature, Guanyin's signature, Jidian monk's signature... Each has its own signature poems, which are different.Therefore, Jiao Gan's "Yi" and the interpretation method of divination are different from "Zhou Yi", which can be said to be a revolution.Because he understands, he has enough wisdom, so he can produce his set of divination methods.Jiao Gan passed Yi to Jingfang. When Jingfang was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he said everything. The emperor asked him anything, but Jiao Gan said that Jingfang had mastered my Yi learning, but he would die from Yi learning in the future. As a result, Jingfang was beheaded and died. From the Eastern Han Dynasty, people who looked at geography and Fengshui and talked about the so-called art of geomantic omen began with Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty.He also knows everything. When Wang Dun, the general of the Jin Dynasty, wanted to rebel and usurp the throne, he was afraid that Guo Pu would disagree, so he called Guo Pu to give him a hint. Face, asked Guo Pu if he could know his own fate, if he knew it beforehand?Guo Pu said that I knew you were going to kill me at this time today, but of course he was killed as he expected.He knew that he couldn't get rid of this difficulty, and of course he could avoid it with tricks. The people who saw here learned that they didn't necessarily escape when they knew about the murder.In fact, there is no escape. Chinese scholars have developed a heart of loyalty and patriotism. If you do rebellious things, I would rather die than escape. money hexagram When it came to the Shaokang Festival in the Song Dynasty, another set of rules was produced based on the basis, and the interpretation was different.After the Ming Dynasty, the number of Taiyi was different. The development history that most people talk about seems to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, but in fact many places have changed.The method of using three copper coins for divination is derived from Jiao Jingyi's system, but the method has been changed and expanded in successive dynasties, because of social evolution and personnel affairs becoming more and more complicated.For example, the original five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water are not enough to represent more complicated human affairs.For example, if I hold a gold ring in my hand, the five elements can be used to deduce that it is gold. For example, if I hold a modern lighter, this is complicated, and it cannot be represented by the simple five elements.So it was expanded and changed, and there were stems and branches, five ghosts, six relatives, etc., which enriched the content of divination, but in terms of method, this was a simplified method handed down from generation to generation.However, it is not easy to find copper coins with an outer circle and an inner square now. You can also borrow modern coins. They are both positive and negative, and one side is used as the positive side and the other as the negative side. Shake the three coins for a while and then throw them down. It is said that two of the coins are yin and one is yang, so the yang side is the main one, and a "," mark is recorded, which means that this is a yang line, because according to the principle, "there are many yin in the yang hexagram", and the common saying is also "Things are rare and expensive".For example, the hexagram of Tianfengnvhou - the mouth is dominated by yin lines. From the perspective of ordinary phenomena, there are five men and one woman among the six people, and this woman will become the king. Everyone will listen to her. This is between heaven and earth. A certain truth of things.If the money drawn out has two yang sides and one yin side, it is a yin line, and a mark of "" is recorded.If the three coins are all positive, the mark is a circle "○", which is called a moving line, and if it is to become negative, the positive side will be negative.If the three coins are all negative, the mark is "×", which is a moving line that changes from yin to yang. Do this six times in a row to complete the six lines.The order of the hexagrams is arranged from bottom to top. The first line is the first line, the second is the second line, and the last is the upper line. This is the current method of divination. Its origin is It started after the Qin and Han Dynasties.Some people who sell divination for a living pretend to be mysterious to show that it is effective. In fact, it can be simpler and more effective when using it.As for whether it is effective without loss, it involves the aspect of psychology.If you use a simple method to report a number at will, you can divination, like "one, two, three." In the hexagram Tianzelu, if the third number is three, it means that the third line of the hexagram Lu is the dynamic line; if it is "one, two, four", it is the fourth line of the hexagram Lu. The divination mainly depends on the dynamic line , one thing is static, you don’t need to ask if you don’t move, because there is nothing wrong with it, and there will be good, bad, regret, and stingy consequences if you move it, so you have to look at the good and bad on the moving line. Prophets, Mystical Powers and Modern Psychology Everyone plays divination, and the question of whether the spirit is effective or not is another question of psychiatry. If we study from the direction of this question, there will be a lot of knowledge in the development.In Buddhism, supernatural powers can be divided into five types: one is called "Baotong".The second type is called "xiutong", which is formed by meditation, kung fu, hypnosis, yoga, etc. It seems that a big country pays great attention to the training of this kind of people, and it is listed as the top national defense secret. A lot of money is used to train people with superpowers, to steal intelligence from other countries, to master such things.At the beginning, this country got wrong information, thinking that another big country had successfully studied this kind of "psychology".The so-called spirituality is actually the so-called cultivation, with a scientific term added.Everyone just eats this set, just like the fable that Zhuangzi said "one day after another and four nights away", changing the name will be popular. ——Later, this country discovered that another country knew many of their secrets, so they spent a lot of money to set up an institution dedicated to research in this area, and made a lot of achievements. In fact, the other big country did not have these things , Later, they stole this set of information from them and thought it was very useful, so they started to study it.Now they are all researching.The third type is "ghost communication".The fourth type is "Yaotong".The fifth type is called "Yitong", such as divination, fortune-telling, etc., which belong to Yitong, which means relying on a certain thing, relying on a kind of mathematics, numbers, light, or using dark places, or using people's brains. Electric waves, under a certain luminosity or sound, reach a certain level, these are "yitong". Yet another method of divination There are many divination methods in China. If you don’t understand its principle and think it is very mysterious, you will never dare to change its method for the rest of your life. Therefore, I told some young people who love to play this game, use twelve numbers, and count them casually. A new method, reporting three numbers, the first number (according to the number of hexagrams in Xiantian hexagrams, namely Qianyi, Duier, Lisan, Zhensi, Zhuanwu, Kanliu, Genqi, Kunba) is the outer hexagram ; The second number also uses the number of Xiantian hexagrams as the inner hexagram; the third number represents the moving line.Assuming that the reported number is one, two, three, then the outer hexagram is Qianyi, and the inner hexagram is Duier, which constitutes the Tianzelu hexagram, and the third number is three, which means the third line of the Tianzelu hexagram is dynamic. Lines and hexagrams are mainly moving lines.If the reported number is one, two, or six, it means that the upper line of the Tianze Lu hexagram has moved, but if the reported number is seven, or eight, or nine, or ten, which line should it be?Nine represents the movement of the six lines, ten represents the quietness of the six lines, eight represents the movement of the two lines, seven represents the movement of the three lines, eleven represents the movement of the five lines, and twelve represents the movement of the four lines. dynamic line judgment Judgment on the dynamic line: If the six lines are stable, they can be judged by the hexagrams and hexagrams. When a line moves, it is judged by the words of the line that moves the line. Those who move the two lines will take the words of the Yin lines as a break, for the reason that "Yang governs the past and Yin governs the future".For example, in the Houkou Gua of Tianfengnv, the sixth and ninth lines of the fifth day both move, so the sixth line is used to break it, and the ninth line is used as an auxiliary break. "Yang governs the past, and Yin governs the future." If the two lines to be moved are both yang or yin, then the line that moves up should be used to cut it off. For example, in the Kou Jiji hexagram, both lines on the ninth day and the fifth day of the ninth day are moving, and the words of the ninth and fifth line should be used as the break. For those who move the three lines, the speech of the middle line of the three lines to be moved is judged. For example, in the Kou hexagram, if the three lines of ninety-two, ninety-four, and ninety-five are all moved, the speech of the ninety-fourth line is used as the break. If the fourth line moves, the following static lines are used to judge it, such as the hexagram of the mouth of fire and water. If the ninth two, six three, nine four, and six five four lines are all moving, then the first six lines are used to judge it, such as the mouth The sixth, sixth, third, ninth, fourth, sixth and fifth lines of the fourth day all move, so the words of the ninth and second line are used to judge it. For those who move more than five times, they can be judged by the words of the static line. If the hexagrams that move all six lines are the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, use the words "Yongjiu" and "Yongliu" to judge it, such as the hexagram Qianqian where all six lines move, then the group of dragons has no leader, which is auspicious. For the other hexagrams other than the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, if all six lines move, it can be judged by the remark of changing hexagrams. It is changed from the Qian hexagram, and the Nvhou hexagram is in the Qian palace of the Ba Gong hexagram. There is an old saying in the ancients, if you have doubts, you can predict, if you have doubts, you can't.For one thing, in a dilemma, going east is right, going west is also right, both directions are right, and you need to determine which direction is the most correct, and you can only go to divination when you are not sure.If your own wisdom can still solve the problem, you should use your own wisdom to solve it instead of divination.上面说的仅是卜占的方法之一，即使铜钱等卜占用品一件也没带，只凭了这十二个数字，就可卜卦，不过不要认为只是玩玩，自己都没有信心则一定不灵，一定要诚心才灵，这是精神的问题，宗教的哲学，前知的哲学。一个人真到万难的时候，本身的智慧、精神的潜能才发挥得出来，这是一种智慧之学，而不是宗教信仰，千万不要迷信。 《河图》与《洛书》 的文化根源 后面的两个画着圈圈点点的图，叫《河图》、《洛书》，它们就是麻将、象棋、围棋的祖师爷。麻将与象棋、围棋虽属小道，却都与这两个图有关系。 《河图》、《洛书》是属于中国学术思想神话部分的东西。旧传说大禹治水的时候，在工程方面发生很多困难，结果在黄河上游，从河中出来一匹马，古人将之神化称它为龙马。这龙马背上背了一个图案，图案上就是这些个圈圈点点，没有别的，因此这个图案就名叫《河图》，因为这个图案，产生了数学的方法，数学的观念。但古代的神话，和一般学说的说法两样，神话中说，大禹得了这个《河图》，就能骗使鬼神，把中国的水患治平了。稍后在洛水里出来一个乌龟，这乌龟的背上，有另一个由圈圈点点形成的图案，这个图案，名叫《洛书》。这两种图案合起来，就产生了中国数理的哲学和工程上应用的学说。这是我们传统的说法，后世一直到了唐宋以后，在学说上一般学者都不同意这种说法，他们采取怀疑的态度。到了现代更加反古了，认为这两图毫无意义，可能是假托的神话。现代学者这种“毫无意义的认定”又有什么根据？亦说不出来，只是不相信这一套说法而已。 依我们所了解的，中国文化大概在春秋战国时候，是没有统一的。那时不但语言没有统一、文字没有统一、交通没有统一、经济没有统一，乃至各个地区的社会形态亦不统一。周朝的政府所谓的中央天子之治，分封诸侯，地方分治，并不统一。从秦汉以后统一的局面是另外一回事，我们研究历史，常以后代政治形态、社会形态看古人，这是很大的偏差。由于那时代没有统一，从孔子所保留的四书五经文化看起来，唐虞以上的历史，文字资料太难整理，所以有可靠文字为依据的时候，断自唐尧开始，整理出了《尚书》，根据这些资料，就了解尧、舜、禹三代文化区域不同。那时在黄河上游的北部，更早时期的黄帝，如有名的涿鹿之战，就是在河北的北部。那时的文化是在北方的，后来到了周朝的文化，差不多到了黄河以南，中国的文化是由北向南移，大的一面是由西北到东南，另外小的一面是由北到南，如江南的文化，是从晋朝以后才慢慢由北方推移过来。到了南宋的时代，江南文化便大盛。不但是中国，外国的文化也是一样，都是由北方起源，慢慢推移演变到南方来。中外历史上真能统治一代就兴盛起来的统治者，都是起于北方，而且很少出于都市，大多都来自乡间，这些对于研究哲学问题关系很大。 现在我们知道中国文化，最初是由黄河上游发展出来，显见《河图》、《洛书》这两个文化系统，发生在不同的地点，一个是在北方黄河的上游，一个是在南方，在黄河的南岸洛阳这一带。 从天文星象看《河图》 研究这两个图有什么意义？反对一派人的看法，认为这和小孩子画画的东西一样，是毫无道理的。可是，如果说它是毫无道理骗人的东西，可骗了几千年，而且都是第一流人物受骗，那么这种很高明的骗术亦值得研究了。现在我来假定，这是过去非常简化的天文图，那么它究竟指的是哪几个星座？我们知道天文分几种，现在分得更严格，譬如星象学，是属于天文的学问。星象又分两种，一种是讲天文的星座，另一种我定名为抽象的星象学。古今中外如埃及、印度、中国，尤其在大西洋一带的文化，乃至现在新发现南美一带所谓落后地区的星座文化，都属于抽象的星象学。抽象的星象学，是把天文的星象与人体的关系，连在一起研究，发展成看相、算命等等，都属于星象学——抽象的星象，所以过去的历史文化上，对看相算命的人，都称他们为“星象家”。这就说明看相算命的原理，必须要从星象来的。现在美国有一门星象学，也是新兴的学术，有七八个大学开了算命看相的课，正式研究全世界各国的看相算命方法，现在虽还没有构成学位的系统，但已网罗了各国懂这一套的人开始任教。那么我们提出来的《河图》、《洛书》，就是我们古代简化的、归纳性的星象图，这是我的假设。如果从这个方向去发掘，当可发掘出很多的道理，在我们的象数方面，把这一套归纳出来，说法可不同了，是非常玄妙的，可是这些玄妙的方法产生了很多东西。譬如《河图》下面的一个白点，叫作“天一生水，地六成之”，对方（上面）“地二生火，天七成之”，左边为“天三生木，地八成之”，右边为“地四生金，天九成之”，在中央为“天五生土，地十成之”。以前我们只知道如此背诵，到底什么道理则不知道。事实上研究哲学或者研究科学，问题大了。 举一个例子，全世界的文化，除了宗教以外，讲宇宙的开始，不外乎一派是唯心的，一派是唯物的。唯物思想认为地球的形成，宇宙的开始，第一个原素是水。后来的地质学家，完全站在科学物理的立场，认为地球的形成，最初在太空中如一团泥浆旋转，经过几百亿万年的不断旋转以后，渐渐凝结起来了，成为地球。在中国的哲学中、科学中，里则有天一生水，地六成之，同样的道理，水是第一个原素，等到形成了地球以后，所谓地六成之，这是中国思想。在春秋以前，讲究时间与空间，这又与西方不同，当时西方讲四方，印度讲十方为空间的方位。中国人在春秋以前讲六合，由庄子提出来，讲六合空间，包括东南西北四方和上下，了解了这些以后，就知道《河图》、《洛书》，不是随便乱说的。“天一生水，地六成之”，并不是迷信的话，而是说宇宙形成的第一个原素是水，构成了地球以后，再有四方上下六合来形成，但这是从推论来的，还不是科学的。讲到中国的科学，多在过去道家的传统思想里，大家都知道牛顿发现了地心吸力以后，世界的科学有一个转变，爱因斯坦发明相对论以后，对于牛顿的定理又要推翻或修正，又产生了现代的文化，所以人可以到太空去，但牛顿的地心吸力的定理还存在。其实每一个星球的本身，都有它的吸力，所以各不相干，都在那里转，但问题在于太空中有这么许多星球，为什么不会相撞呢？舞台上表演特技，抛掷许多球不会碰撞，是因为时间、速度控制得好，位置摆得好，用力适当得好，可是太空的星球有谁在抛掷它们呢？这个问题的答案还没有找到，全世界人类正在找，我们把这些资料汇集起来，再研究《河图》、《洛书》，就知道它们本身是有道理的。 为什么“地二生火，天七成之”？这图案下面两点是偶数，黑点表示是阴性的，阴的东西是构成物质以后，阳的是在没有构成物质以前，等于现代科学名词中的“能”，有作用，但是看不见的，以哲学而言能是抽象的，在这里的代号就是白点，是奇数的。地二生火，古代亦可解释为地下有火，所以有火山爆发，由地下生出火来，因此叫作“地二生火”，这种解释似是而非，是前一个时期的知识范围所能作的解释。事实上“地二生火”是说地球形成以后，它的转动摩擦，发生了电能，然后“天七成之”，这个是因为地球在宇宙中的位置，与北斗七星，所谓大熊星座有连带关系。我们中国讲天文地理，离不开北斗七星，古人认为这是皇帝的星座。我们不必看得那么神秘，这有另外一套道理，同中国的政治哲学思想、科学、天文，样样都有关联。 《洛书》与大禹治水 关于《洛书》的图案，传说是有一个乌龟从洛水里浮出来，背上有这个图案，我们的老祖宗大禹有了《河图》、《洛书》以后，启示了他的灵感，所以把中国的水患平定下来了。在我们中国文化的发展中，大禹的功劳最大，因他治水以后，中国九州才开始可以农业立国，一直传下来几千年，治水可以说是大禹一件划时代的工作。而他做这件工作的智慧，是由《河图》、《洛书》的启示而来的。这个《洛书》的图案，正好是一个乌龟壳的形状，图中的点点，古代有一首歌来叙述它说：“戴九履一，左三右七，二四为肩，六八为足。”头上是九，下面是一，左边是三，右边是七，这些都是阳数，白点子，占了四方。另外四个角，上面右角是两点左角是四点，如同在肩膀上，下面右角是六点，左角是八点，像两只足，为阴数，是黑点，五则居中，这是《洛书》的数字，《洛书》的数字摆法，是后天的用，《河图》的数理则是体。 不传之秘 这两个图的数字方位知道了以后，再把《洛书》数字的图案，套在文王后天八卦的图案上，于是我们前面讲过的：“一数坎兮二数坤，三震四巽数中分，五寄中宫六乾是，七兑八艮九离门”的道理就看出来了。现在告诉大家，以前古人讲易数卜卦，不肯传人的秘诀，老实说那些传秘诀的人，自己对秘诀的道理都不清楚，只知道书上说的，书上为什么这样说，他就不知道了。问题在于八卦的起用，是用文王的后天八卦，用《洛书》图的数字，配上后天卦的方位，以用在占卜上，看对与不对，如此而已。有些人研究感到困难，就是因为被这些符号迷住了，尤其中国人过去的思想，研究了许多年发现了，却不肯教别人，否则他自己没得玩的了，所以只好瞒一手；这一瞒就完了，后人又要费好多心血去找出来，假如又瞒一手，几千年就如此退下去了。其实大可不必，我觉得这是一个科学的东西，科学上的最高原理，现代可以不用在算命、卜卦、看风水上，现在可以用到宇宙的法则上。学通后，多看看太空、理化方面的新学问，会发现很多新的东西，就可以知道我们老祖宗的文化伟大之处了。 《系传》——孔子研究 的心得报告 谈到《系辞》上下二传，相传是孔子所著。大家注意，孔子是到五十岁才开始学，所以他说五十而知天命，六十两耳顺，七十而从心所欲，加上二十年学的心力，他认为得了道。不过后来有人考证，认为《系传》不是孔子著的。不过我对考据的事情，虽非常重视，但不太去管它，原因是考据的东西很难断其是非，我始终有一个理论，即使我自己昨天做的事情，今天若要说出来，都会有些模糊，如果说今天拿到一块泥巴，考据到几千年前的事情，硬说它是某种情形，那你爱怎么讲就怎么讲好了，谁有把握？所以《系传》到底是不是孔子著的，那只是次要问题，我们现在主要的是研究这篇心得报告的内容。其次我们知道，中国文字是非常美的，《系辞》的文字真是美极了，在古人传统的看法都认为是孔子自己写的，的确很美，文字用得很简要，一个字代表了很多意思，而且读起来很顺。 “天尊地卑，乾坤定矣，卑高以陈，贵贱位矣，动静有常，刚柔断矣， 方以类聚，物以群分，吉凶生矣，在天成象，在地成形，变化见矣。 " 这一段文字不但很美，包含的意义也很多，和比较起来，学生们的文章，到底差了一点。老子的和孔子的《系传》，以文字的立场看，的确很美，文章中有关哲学的道理、科学的道理，实在包含太多了，中国人都懂。
