Chapter 4 the fourth part
Heaven is respected and earth is humbled, the universe is fixed
The first truth is that "heaven is respected and earth is humble, and the universe is fixed".Honor and humble are two opposite terms. It does not refer to the nobility of power and wealth, and humbleness does not mean lowliness. It refers to people's emotions and thoughts, which are unknowable things about the universe. , Praise it for its greatness, this is the true meaning of respect, it is an adjective, the farther it is, the more intangible it is, the more noble it is for us; as for the earth, we cannot live without it, leaving it for a second It’s terrible, so we are very close to the earth, very kind, humble means very close and very kind.There are a lot of philosophical truths in it, people's psychological thoughts, all things that are far away, intangible, and invisible are considered good. Ideals are always beautiful, and the rarer and unobtainable, the more they are in people's minds. The higher the status in the middle class, the more shallow it is, it doesn’t make much sense, it’s not that rare, just like the relationship between a man and a woman, for a lady who has not caught up, it is always considered good, always beautiful, and the love is solid. , but once you get married and get close to each other slowly, this humiliation will come out. This is human nature.
"The universe is fixed", many people use these four words as a congratulatory message for those who get married.In the past, when you got married, you had to give the birth date of the groom and the bride to the fortune-teller to get married. This sentence is used to say that "the universe is fixed".In fact, this sentence is used wrongly. The real meaning is that "Qian" and "Kun" are synonymous with the two hexagrams. "Heaven is respected and the earth is humble, and the universe is fixed." This is a saying in theory and hexagrams, but the ancients explained it. They thought it was. After our ancestor Fuxi drew the gossip, the heaven and the earth began. This is the same as the Western religion today. Similarly, Westerners say that God created the world, and we say that Pan Gu’s ancestors made such a painting, the sky opened in the son, and the earth opened in the five, so the heaven and the earth began, which is the same mistake.The real meaning is that the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun represent the two natural images of the sky and the earth. Why do I explain this?Because it goes on to say here, "The humble is the old, and the noble and the humble are."This sentence is to explain the above sentence, the low is close, the earth is too close to us; Seeing things far away but not being able to touch them is regarded as noble, but it doesn't matter to those who are close. Therefore, the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun also represent the difference in position, and this is the reason.
Movement and stillness are always rigid and soft
"Movement and stillness are constant, rigidity and softness are broken."
It should be noted that in the future study of images, we must remember the four words of movement, stillness, rigidity, and softness. Movement and stillness are yin and yang, and movement and stillness are yang and yin.Rigidity and softness, things that can be seen, such as teeth and mouth, if the teeth are hard, they are rigid, and if the mouth is soft, they are soft.In fact, there are two layers of truth in it. Movement and stillness refer to the situation in the physical world. Before the formation of the physical world on the earth, there is a phenomenon of movement and stillness. This is the interaction of positive and negative forces of yin and yang. In the material world, it is rigidity and softness, a phenomenon that comes out of matter.The so-called "movement and stillness have permanence", any law in the universe, the movement of the sun, the earth, the moon, the universe, and even the changes in human thoughts, feelings, emotions, and the trend of national events are not blind. Know.This is because you don't understand, and if you understand it, you will at least know the general idea. "Movement and stillness have permanence" is always inseparable from a certain principle and a routine, which is equal to a child's growth. One year old today, it must not be two years old tomorrow, and three years old the day after tomorrow. It must be added every day to fill up. It takes three hundred and sixty-five days to grow one year, which is normal. "Movement and stillness are constant" means that the movement and stillness of the physical world have their own routines. Those who study science know that there are certain rules for the changes of atoms. There will be certain changes in a given time and a certain space, and there is no way to violate this trajectory. The "breaking" of "hardness and softness is broken" is not a breaking of a thread into two pieces, but a breaking of determination, a breaking of judgment, a breaking of decisiveness. With hardness and softness, one can judge all changes in the material world.
classify clusters into groups
"Fangs gather like like, and things are divided into groups, good and bad come together."
There are two interpretations of the word "Fang". The ancient Fang character is written like a monkey squatting, so some people explain that Fang gathers together, which means that like monkeys, one category gathers there separately.Some people object to this statement. The real meaning of "a square gathers like like" means space and orientation, so when studying "Yi", we must pay attention to time and space, which is also the spirit of modern science. Even better than "space".After understanding, when dealing with things, there are factors of position everywhere. For example, the piece of land we are standing on now was a wilderness and not of much value 50 years ago, but today 50 years later, it is not a golden zone. , is also the silver zone, this is the role of bits.Anything, a good plan, cannot be realized if it is put forward too early or too late, it must be put forward at the right time, and it is a double factor, in addition to time and location.Like attracts like, people in each location have different personalities and emotions, and the same is true for things. For example, a certain vegetable grown on a high mountain in Taiwan and in a place with the same temperature as the mainland looks the same in shape as the one in the mainland. But when you eat it in your mouth, it is different. This is because the orientation is different.As for "dividing things into groups", it means that in the physical world, the classification phenomenon of groups of groups is the same principle.So good and bad luck happened here, "good and bad luck happened".Anyone who studies it knows that there are only two outcomes for future events in the world, good or bad, good or bad. If you do business, you will lose money if you don’t make money.In the past, someone crossed the threshold and asked the fortune-teller to tell whether he was entering or exiting, which stumped the fortune-teller.If I were a fortune teller, I would tell him to go out if he didn’t come in. On the surface, this judgment seems to be very tricky, but in fact this is a certain truth. Good luck or bad luck are all produced by people’s psychology. Why?Because "like attracts like, and things are divided into groups", there is a conflict of interest between one type of person and another type of person, so the good and the bad are separated. Here, the principle of application is also told to us, then we How do we know the past and the future?
"A phenomenon is formed in the sky, it takes shape on the ground, and changes can be seen."
That is to say, the knowledge of knowing the past and the future is very simple, and everyone can learn it. As long as you see the laws of the stars in the solar system and understand its principles, every formed thing on the earth is as tall as a mountain. Water is flowing, and any phenomenon can be seen. If you understand the laws and principles of change, you will know the past and the future.
Hard and soft rubbing against gossip
"That's why hardness and softness rub against each other, eight trigrams shake each other, drum it with thunder, moisten it with wind and rain, the sun and the moon move,
One cold and one hot..."
The meaning of this paragraph follows from the above. It is the most important place to study the principles of gossip. This refers to the physical laws of the planetary world led by our current solar system. To expand it, it can also be said to be the movement of the universe. rules.If you understand the laws of the universe, you will naturally understand human affairs, just like the principle of "the unity of man and nature" advertised by Confucianism. As for applying this law to another solar system, is it the same?Presumably, it is probably the same.
Now we say "hardness and softness rub each other, and eight trigrams shake each other", which means that in the solar system we humans live in, the laws of physics are formed by the friction between rigidity and softness (this is the code name of the two material worlds), that is, yin and yang. produce.Everything in the universe is produced by the friction between these two opposing forces. This is friction.As for the gossip, we have already drawn the gossip at the beginning. For the convenience of explanation, we need to introduce some basic knowledge about it.
What is it first?We have said before that "Yi" refers to the three principles of change, difficulty, and simplicity. This is the interpretation put forward by Confucianism in the Han Dynasty. Whether this interpretation is correct is another question.Why is it called?This is according to Wei Boyang, a Taoist in the Han Dynasty, a Taoist god, also known as Huolong Zhenren.He has a famous book called "San Tong Qi". Zhu Xi dare not say that he has studied this book well all his life.This book is a book on Taoism based on Yi Li, which is the originator of the so-called Taoism in China.In the book, he mentioned the saying that "the sun and the moon are easy, and the hardness and softness are equal".Let's look at the ancient character "Yi", the upper part is the pictogram of the sun, and the lower part is the pictogram of the moon. Combining the sun above and the moon below, the character "Yi" is formed.This means that this book is a description of the great law of the sun and the moon in the universe of our human solar system. It can be seen that Wei Boyang's explanation is the most correct for the naming.However, during the hundreds of years from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, many people doubted this explanation, and the Japanese explained it even better. They said that "Yi" is an animal-a four-legged snake, that is, a lizard, because it is characterized by being good at Change, it perches on green leaves, its body color becomes green, perches on red flowers, its body color becomes red, so "Yi" is a lizard.Sometimes the Japanese distort our culture very much, but sometimes it is very interesting and ridiculous.They also provided proof that many of them are represented by animals, such as dragons, elephants, horses, etc., so "Yi" is a lizard that changes body color.A few decades ago, our Chinese scholars also followed the Japanese saying that the Chinese made a mess of China's own culture, and even said that Dayu was a reptile, and there was no such thing as Dayu.The Japanese say this, and our scholars follow suit. These statements are all wrong.What is called?So far, everyone’s textual research and discussions have proved that Wei Boyang’s interpretation of Zuo is the most correct, because the word “Yi” found on the oracle bone inscriptions unearthed later is the pictograph of the sun and the moon. When combined together, it is the ancient times. "Easy".According to culture, our history should be traced back to more than two million years ago. We now claim to have a history of five thousand years, which is still too modest.In the culture of more than two million years ago, "Yi" was the sun and the moon. It can be seen that "hardness and softness rub each other, and eight trigrams shake each other" is the law of the universe within the sun and the moon.
Now that we understand the above, let's talk about gossip.The so-called "swing" is like swinging on a swing, going back and forth.The sixty-four hexagrams are the comings and goings of the gossips, which come out of each other.Judging from the position of the Xiantian hexagram, if the Qian hexagram is used as the standard, when the Qian hexagram swings and collides with the Dui hexagram, it becomes the Tianze Lu hexagram. If the Tianyang hexagram and the Qian hexagram swing to the other side and meet the Xun hexagram, they will become the Tianfengnvhou hexagram, no matter what hexagram is used as the standard, it will be the same.It was published in the newspaper yesterday that US President Ford made a divination to say something, whether it works or not does not matter, but sometimes it is used for fun, or if the heart is really not at peace, between life and death, it is good to play.Are you sure?It is the same as praying to God and praying to Bodhisattvas in times of emergency. You can also find a way to find a way out in the middle, so that your spirit will calm down all of a sudden. This can also be said to be the highest sustenance of the spirit, but it is different from Religious beliefs are different. Religious beliefs are dependent, and they hand themselves over to another invisible god, while divination can solve problems in their own wisdom and find the path they should take. This is the truth , which is also the same as the principle of the comprehensive hexagram mentioned above.
The so-called "hardness and softness rub against each other" in the report of Confucius' research here refers to the friction between hardness and softness in this physical world. In modern language, it can be interpreted as hard and soft friction against each other.For example, Lao Tzu often says that the softest thing in the physical world is water.The thoughts of Lao Tzu, Confucius, and other schools of thought all come from within, and such a set of concepts as "you lose your horse, you know it's not a blessing" all come from within.That's why Lao Tzu also said, "Fortunate people rely on misfortunes, and disasters depend on blessings." They all come from thoughts.We have studied it, and then studied the problems of Laozi's thought and Confucius' thought, and we can easily solve them.There is no absolute between heaven and earth. Lao Tzu mentioned that the softest thing in the world is water, and what is strong will eventually soften, drop by drop.They are all soft and have no bones, and they will dry when the wind blows, but whether it is iron plates or hard stones, they will be worn through by this drop of water over time.From this point of view, Laozi said that water is the softest. In fact, according to the principle, water is not the softest, because water still has form. The softest thing has no form, it is space, this void.What is there in the void?In general, emptiness is nothingness.However, the truth is the same as the modern scientific concept, that the void is not empty, but full of atoms. When we wave our hands in the void, the atoms in the void will move and take effect, so that the universe will It has already been greatly affected, as if a small stone was thrown into the river. At the beginning, only a small ripple was seen. According to the scientific principle, the ripple gradually expanded, and it is still expanding after ten thousand years. So any movement will generate a lot of power.The emptiness is soft, and the rigid can be rubbed away by the emptiness. This principle shows that the rigid and the soft rub against each other. It is not that the hard is inferior to the soft. Sometimes the soft will be overcome by the rigid. heavy relationship.
The principle of the balance tells us that, like a balance scale, if one end is heavy, the other end will be higher;Balance is the best state, but it is rare, as far as our own mind and body are concerned.Our psychological thinking is not balanced at any time. Either we feel uncomfortable or our thoughts are in chaos.Most people say that they meditate and cultivate the Tao. What is the "Tao"?It is the way to always maintain the balance of mind and body.So why do you have to close your eyes and cross your legs to put on a show when you meditate?We know that the purpose of meditation is to achieve the balance of body and mind. If body and mind are not balanced, meditation is useless.Everyone has decades of experience. Every day is either bad mood or physical discomfort. Excessive happiness is not balanced. There is absolutely no problem with the body and the state of absolute peace of mind. It is rare to reach this state for ten days in a hundred years of life. realm.All this shows that hardness and softness are always in mutual friction, so the principle of gossip in the universe has arisen.This principle is applied to human affairs, and we can also understand that it is impossible for people to get along with each other, whether in a group or a family, without friction forever, because the law of the universe "hardness and softness rub each other, and gossip and gossip go hand in hand". It is the conflict and friction between two different phenomena that produce so many different phenomena.All personnel and affairs cannot be separated from this principle.The advantage of what we have learned is that we will have better principles for handling personnel affairs. For example, if the other party loses his temper, we will persuade him not to get angry, and wait for a while. If you are angry, if you continue to talk, it will be another hexagram phenomenon.A well-learned person loses his temper with others, but he thinks there is nothing wrong with it. If he loses his temper, it is "the fire and the sky." Let him send it out. The two are still good brothers, forget it, don't quarrel, once you learn it well, apply it to personnel affairs, you will never feel uncomfortable.
time and place
The book tells us two important points, whether it is science, philosophy, or personnel affairs, we must pay attention to two things when doing anything, namely "time" and "position", time and space, we have been talking about it for a long time. When explaining the two issues of "time" and "bit".Great stuff, great talent, if not at the right time, it's all useless.In the same way, a thing, whether it is very bad or very good, if it is at the right time, and it seems to be a very bad thing, it will also have its great value.You can know it at home, like a rusted and bent iron nail, we clamp it straight and store it aside, one day when a typhoon passes by and there is no half of the iron nail left, the broken iron nail will be destroyed Great effect happens because it gets its "time".Another thing is to get its "position". For example, something is very expensive, but it is useless on a certain occasion. If you put a vase of beautiful jade in the toilet, this position is not right, so "time" , "Position" is the most important thing, the right time and position means getting the right time and the right position, everything is fine.On the contrary, if it is not at the right time or at the right place, then it must not work. We are looking at the philosophy of Chinese culture here. Lao Tzu said to Confucius: "A gentleman rides when he is at the right time, and he rides at Penglai when he is not at the right time." Opportunities are given to you. Now, you can do something, time doesn't belong to you, so behave yourself and don't brag.Mencius also said: "If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world." This is also a matter of time and position. If the time and position does not belong to you, just stay there, and do things if the time and position belongs to you.The gossip contains many of these truths.
The sun and the moon run cold and summer
Now go on to:
"It is drummed with thunder, moistened with wind and rain, the sun and the moon move, one cold and one hot."
The laws of physics and the laws of the universe, we feel that life on the earth is affected by changes in celestial bodies and climate, especially those who study Chinese medicine, we must pay more attention to the so-called wind, cold and summer dampness, which are caused by external factors and are most likely to cause illness situation, these are the laws of the universe within the said sun and moon.This natural phenomenon is all lovely, and here we can see the brilliant writing skills of Confucius.We have said that the article "Biography" is more beautiful than "Laozi" and the two books purely in terms of literary value, and it has a more rhythmic and rhythmic sense of reading. "Drumming with thunder" does not mean beating drums, nor does it mean the sound of thunder.The meaning of the word "drum" is the same as the word "drum" in which modern Sichuan people say "qi" is "drum".It is called a "drum" when it is inflated, and this is the meaning here.The natural law of the universe requires the vibration of thunder and lightning to maintain the balanced development of everything in the universe.Looking at the universe in terms of principles, sometimes strong winds and heavy rains are not necessarily bad.For example, for us, a typhoon comes, destroys crops, blows down houses, and thinks it is bad, but in terms of the whole nature, at a certain angle, at a certain time, under certain circumstances, this is necessary. A typhoon, otherwise, all kinds of life in nature will have some unexpected problems.The universe must have such vibrations, so it must be "drummed with thunder", but if the universe is always thundering, it will be bad.If it is too dry, we must "moisten it with wind and rain", the natural law of the universe, wind and rain, cloudy and sunny, every phenomenon is indispensable.The movement of the sun and the moon constitutes the alternation of one cold and one heat.It should be noted here that there is no mention of spring and autumn, only cold and heat, and winter and summer are rarely used.The truth is that the universe only has two kinds of contrasts: cold and hot. People feel that the two seasons of spring and autumn are neither hot nor cold, which is the most comfortable and just neutralized.From the point of view of the truth, autumn is cold at the beginning and slightly cold, and spring is hot and slightly hot at the beginning, so it is just a comparison of the two things, cold and heat.The summer is extremely hot, and the winter is extremely cold. This kind of cold and heat has formed this colorful world.
twelve hexagrams
Having said that, we should pay attention to the chart on the next page:
The center of this graph is empty, we will leave it alone for now and discuss it later.In fact, this center is the most important, it represents Tai Chi, that is, the body, which is nothing in the sky.The first circle outside is twelve hexagrams.These twelve hexagrams have a special name in relevant books, called "Twelve Piguas".The so-called "pi" has the meaning of pioneering and beginning.There is another concept that everyone should pay attention to is the twelve hexagrams, also known as Hou hexagrams, which means the hexagrams of princes.In the past, I was superstitious. When I got this kind of hexagram, I thought that fate was great.The so-called "Hou Gua" is just a code name. "Yi" uses the ancient political system as an example. The emperor is in the center, and the princes are in charge of each side. The big princes guard the twelve directions, so it is called Houfang.To put it more clearly, we use our ancient political system to explain the position and nature of the twelve hexagrams. It does not mean that if the divination reaches the Hou hexagram, you must be a prince, otherwise the prince will be unsuccessful and you will be treated like a monkey. played.Confucius said that if you learn well, you will be "clean, quiet and subtle", which is indeed remarkable.If you don't learn it well, you are a "thief". After learning this for a long time, it is easy to go astray as mentioned above.In fact, this is something of the highest wisdom. The twelve Piguas are named Pi, which is based on Chapter 6 of the Second Biography of Xici: "Zi said the evil of the universe and its changes".Confucius said that the first step in research is to study the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun. If you understand the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, the door will open and you can start to study.
phallus, yin,
Mistaking Feng Jing for Ma Liang
Having said that, let's continue this chapter by the way:
"Qian is the Yang thing. Kun is the Yin thing. Yin and Yang combine virtue, and hardness and softness have a body. It is written by embodying the world,
To pass through the virtue of the gods. "
It is indeed remarkable that Confucius praised the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, but one thing must be paid special attention to. In the past sixty or seventy years, our Chinese culture has been messed up by ourselves. Several well-known scholars and some university professors also said the same, as well as Japanese People say this. When they talk about yin and yang, they are talking about the reproductive organs of men and women. Yang is the penis representing men, and yin is the vulva representing women. In two sentences, it is said that Confucius said so.In fact, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, the male reproductive organ was called the penis, and before the Tang and Song Dynasties it was called "shi", but no one called it the penis.What Confucius said here, "dryness, phallus also" refers to everything that is masculine, but it is really unreasonable for people nowadays to interpret the nouns of later generations into ancient Chinese prose!People before the Qin and Han Dynasties had a concept of the word "things", not the material concept of later generations.Things before the Qin and Han Dynasties were equal to "things" in our spoken language today.It may be fatal for people who come to verify the word "this thing" in our article today after a thousand years.For example, when people scold others today, they often say "it's not a thing" or "a nasty thing", "what are you", etc. Maybe a thousand years from now, people can write an article about "things" in 1975. " textual research article, and get a Ph.D.People nowadays understand very well that the phrase "what are you" is a curse, so the "things" that the ancients said is what we call "things" today, so Confucius cannot be said to be a materialist.Here Confucius said that Qian can represent masculine things, and Kun can represent feminine things. It is a pity that the next generation is wrong, so we need to learn more, so as to correct the incorrect thinking of the next generation, so as not to make the ancient Confucius and Laozi so miserable.
Yin Yang and Rigidity
Next:
"Yin and yang unite virtue, while rigidity and softness have a body. It is written with the body of heaven and earth, and the virtue of understanding the gods."
It means that if people understand the truth of the universe, they can reach the sky and the earth, and the table above is to explain the truth of "the evil of the universe and its changes". First, we must study the changes of the two hexagrams of the universe.
The second circle of this chart is from the inside to the outside, and the hexagrams are drawn, and the third circle is the earthly branch, representing the month.For example, today is October in the Chinese calendar, which is the month of Hai. The weather is already cold, but it is warm for a few days, which is "Xiaoyangchun".November is Ziyue, December is Chouyue..., in sequence, and the fourth circle outside, Ying Zhong, Huang Zhong, and Da Lu are the nouns of Chinese music. These twelve musical nouns are collectively called For Lulu, there is also a change in climate.Recently, I saw a newspaper article in which a music professor scolded Lulu. In fact, he did not understand what Lulu was.Another great scholar said that foreign music only has seven scales, but our country has twelve lutes, which is wrong again.There is also a paper by an old professor who applied for a certain funding, which also mentioned the issue of Lu Lu, but it is specious, so if you want to study Chinese culture, you must understand these things.The fifth circle is the twenty-four solar terms. In the future, we must remember the rules of the twelve hexagrams when we study the aspect of image and number, that is, the aspect of science.A year is divided into twelve months, half of which are yin and half are yang.Calculated in one day, half is yin and half is yang.The six hours of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, and Si every day, that is, from 11:00:00 in the middle of the night to 10:59:60 in the morning of the next day are yang, while noon, wei The six hours of , Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, that is, from 11:00:00 in the morning to 10:59:60 in the night, are yin. This is our ancient Chinese science.When modern Westerners study Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, they use modern science to verify and prove its truth, and it cannot be said that it is unscientific.
Our Chinese calendar is Xia Yu's calendar, also known as the Xia calendar, also called the lunar calendar, because the lunar calendar is based on the lunar calendar, and the moon comes out from the east on the fifteenth day of each month, so it must be round. Using this standard, we can know the The ups and downs of the tide, the time of farming, etc. can be inferred.We Chinese still like to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and the first month is the Yin month, and the twelve earthly branches start with "zi", while the sub-month of the summer calendar is November, and the solar terms in November include winter solstice and heavy snow.There are two solar terms in a month, one is the festival and the other is the qi; the heavy snow is the festival, and the winter solstice is the qi, and this time is Fu Gua.The so-called Fu Gua, the ancients of our country knew that the outside of the earth is the sun, the moon, surrounded by the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. When it is a semicircle, the other half is in the shadows. It is not known until modern times with instruments or astronauts climbing up, and it is known that all planets have the function of emitting energy, and the earth is absorbing the functions emitted by other planets on the one hand, and at the same time It itself is also radiating its energy and interacting with the functions of other planets; these theories are recorded in ancient books, which shows that the ancients in our country have a very good understanding of the science of the universe.The function of the earth absorbing the sun and the universe is like this: after the summer solstice and the birth of yin, it gradually absorbs the function of the universe until the winter solstice absorbs the function of the earth. put.The ancients also said that when Yang Qi radiates from the earth to the high altitude, it can reach more than 96,000 feet. This cannot be said that our ancients were unscientific.Thousands of years ago, they knew that the radiation function of the earth has a limit to other planets in space, which is the limit of what is called the ionized electron layer in modern times.When the earth arrives in winter, the sun's energy, which can be called the radiant energy of the sun, is sucked into the center of the earth.We can know from the condition of the well water that the well water is cool in summer and warm in winter because of the yang energy in the ground.So we Chinese eat according to the laws of the universe. It doesn’t matter if we eat ice cream in winter or something cool, because the yang energy of the stomach is restrained, and in summer it’s very hot outside, while the yang energy radiates outward, and the inside It’s empty and cold, so they don’t eat cold ones. Therefore, Chinese people used to not eat fruit on an empty stomach, and they didn’t eat fruit after a meal. When it’s cold and hot, it’s easy to go wrong. Now they learn from the West and eat fruit after a meal. , anti-science.
In November, Yang Qi is revived.This is the reason for Chinese people to nourish themselves during the winter solstice, because the digestion power is particularly strong at this time, and the nutrients are easily absorbed when the supplements are taken. ", the above are all yin lines, which represent cold, and one yang is born, which comes from the function of the ground.
An ancient book said: "Winter solstice, one yang, summer solstice, one yin".So what is Yang?It is to illustrate the physics of the earth, which is one of them.It includes too much knowledge. For example, if you study medicine, you must first study it thoroughly, because the human body also has a yang inside. Some people are old or weak, so don’t be afraid, because people have a yang phenomenon at any time, as long as you grasp it Live in this nascent yang, and adjust it properly, it will be good for your health.For example, some people can’t sleep, it seems to be insomnia, in fact, it’s due to physical exhaustion before recovery, they may be very energetic and don’t want to sleep, pay attention, this is not Yang Qi but Yin Qi, which is the same as geophysics, but after this stage, Very sleepy, will fall asleep, that is the phenomenon of Yiyang, this is the Fu Gua.
Solar Terms and Twelve Lulus
What is a "yellow bell"?It's Lulu.Twelve rhythms are Chinese inventions. When we study music, we often refer to stone, soil, pipes, and strings. In fact, these are all later.The earliest ones were pipes, which were played by wind. The strings are silk, and those who play the qin are silk strings. The so-called "Sizhu Orchestra".Our Chinese music is different from Westerners in that the sound is relatively thin. This is because China has been an agricultural society for thousands of years, unlike the United States, which was an industrial society at the beginning and lived in groups.In Western sports, everyone comes together. In Chinese sports, everyone fights each other.In terms of music, the Chinese play the piano for themselves.In Western culture, due to the group society, artistic expression is for others to appreciate, not for oneself.Secondly, the development of music is also different from that in China. Chinese music is irregular. Because of its irregularity, the realm of music art is very high, while Western music is regular. It sounds good on the surface, but in fact it is real. It's not enough to pay attention to Lulu.But Chinese music is too deep, making it even more difficult for people to appreciate and understand it.There used to be a joke about a man who played konghou all his life. Once he held a concert, the audience was full, but he only played half of it, and all the audience left. There was only an old woman sitting there crying. I was happy, and found that there was still a bosom friend in this world. After asking, it turned out that the old woman was a widow. Hearing the sound of "Duo! Duo! Dang! Dang!" Can't help but shed tears.From this joke, we can know that Chinese music is not easy to appreciate, and the truth of Lulu is not easy to understand.
Lulu was invented in the northwest of China.On the border of Shaanxi and Henan, there is a kind of Lv Guan, which is said to be shaped like bamboo but not bamboo. There are certain standards for length and thickness.Because the lengths of these twelve kinds of pipes are different, the lengths that go deep into the ground are also different, while the upper ends are flush, and the pipes are filled with reed ash. When the winter solstice comes, the ash in the longest tube is first affected by the rise of underground yang energy, and then spews out of the tube, and at the same time makes a "buzzing" sound, which is called the sound of the yellow bell.Then, every month, ash from a pipe sprayed out, making different sounds.In this way, Huangzhong, Dalu, Taicu, Jiazhong, Guxi, and Zhonglu belong to the six yangs, while below Ruibin, Lin Zhong, Yize, Nangong, Wushe, and Yingzhong belong to the six yins. Yin and yang are different. Let's talk about Chinese phonology again.For example, in poetry, there is a book called "Poetry Rhyme" in China, which is divided into Dong, Erdong, Sanjiang, Sizhi, etc. For example, "Dong" and "Dong" have the same flat tone, but if you study carefully, its pronunciation has Yinping and Yangping. The east is Yangping, and the winter is Yinping.Therefore, when I went to Shaokang Festival to study, I knew that the vibration of any kind of sound has more than 86,000 amplitudes. In a certain range, the sound can kill people, and in a certain range, the sound can save people.This kind of theory was only proved in the West in modern times, but our ancestors knew it long ago. Can we say that we are not scientific?It is a pity that our children and grandchildren did not strive for development in these sciences. It can also be said that our children and grandchildren are very competitive, because after understanding these principles, they feel that there is nothing unusual and do not use them in material aspects.
Now having said that, Huang Zhong, it is in November, which is also Ziyue. When Yiyang is born, the hexagram is the Fu hexagram. In December, the yang energy gradually rises again. The first line and the second line are both Yang Yao, there are two yangs, because the inner hexagram has changed, it becomes Dui hexagram, and Dui is Ze, so Chong hexagram becomes Dize Lin hexagram.In terms of solar terms, the minor cold is the festival, the severe cold is the qi, and the first month is the Yin month, which is the Di Tian Tai hexagram. The so-called "three yangs open Tai" means that there are already three yangs.Lulu is the sound of Taicu, the festival is the beginning of spring, and the air is rain.February is Maoyue, the hexagram image, the inner hexagram is the Qian hexagram, the outer hexagram is the Zhen hexagram, the earthquake is thunder, and the thunder sky is strong.February is the big Zhuang hexagram, and you can fly kites on the mainland.The Waking of Insects Festival in February is very important. After the beginning of winter, snakes, insects and frogs can no longer see. With a lump of mud in their mouths, they burrow into the ground, do not eat or move, and are in a half-dead state. This is called "hibernation" in modern science. Our country古代称作“蛰”或“蛰伏”，要到二月间雷天大壮的时候，第一声春雷一鸣，这些蛰伏的蛇虫青蛙，吐出口中的泥巴出洞了，称作惊蛰。过去农夫惊蛰以后下田耕作，一不小心，触到毒蛇含过的泥巴，会中毒肿痛。在大陆未过惊蛰，农作物种子下地，不会发芽生长的，一定要惊蛰第一声雷以后，才开始抽芽的，这个科学的道理，大家没有注意。前几年有一位美国农化方面的教授，来台大农学院讲学，他亦研究，所以有人介绍来看我，谈起他们美国人现在也知道研究雷和生物的关系了。据他们的研究，一声雷的结果，可以在地面产生八十万吨的自然肥料。我告诉他我们中国人老早就知道了雷的作用，而且上告诉我们，雷有八种之多，水雷屯，泽雷随，风雷益，天雷无妄，火雷噬嗑，山雷颐，地雷复，震为雷等，而地雷复的雷肥料最多。
的学问太多了，如中医也是由来的，人的身体变化，也和宇宙法则一样，如没有研究好，把脉不会把出结果来。中医的望、闻、问、切，先用眼睛看病人是什么颜色？一看神气，对他的病就知道了一半。再听他的呼吸，听他讲话的声音，就知道了一些症状。第三问，同西医一样，了解病人的年龄、籍贯、职业，如一个运动家和一个坐办公室的公务员，病状绝不同，他们患同一的病，但用同一的药方，有一人会减少效果或没有效果的，所以要问得很清楚。一个医学上的故事，唐代有一个人头痛，求神医孙思邈诊治，经过按脉，这人并没有病，到病人的居所一看，一条壁缝正对他睡觉时的头部，也就是头痛的地方，把床位移动，就不痛了。所以平常坐位置也要注意，一线风容易使人受病，处身在大风中反而没有问题，因为有了抵抗的准备。有一个朋友半身不遂，中医没有办法，我劝他到西医那里检查牙齿，他最初认为不可思议，后来检查发现有一颗牙齿坏了，拔除这颗牙齿，半身不遂好了。过去牙科医生最难，要学七年才能毕业，医师会诊，牙医是坐首席的，有如此重要，可见为医之难。我有一次在国防医学院讲演，我说没有医生能医好病的，医生如能医好病，人就不会死了，但医生照行医，人还是照死，中国有句俗话：“药医不死病，佛度有缘人。”有一种病，中西医都医不好，这是什么病广死病！”我又说，现在学医的人动机很坏，都是为了想赚大钱，这是很糟的，以赚钱为目的学医，就不去学医理，只是学点技术，所以医越来越退步。学医当学医理，在德国就有医理学家，可见人家对医的重视。
我说这些闲话，是说明中的学问，没有哪一样的原则不包括进去。
三月的卦，到了春天了，节气是清明、谷雨，大陆的气候，最舒服是清明，真是天朗气爽，和风徐来。另一个是相对的秋分。孔子所以写《春秋》，因为春分和秋分都是均衡的，气候不冷不热，这时以的地球物理来说，是央卦，外卦是兑卦，兑为泽，内卦是乾卦，乾为天，泽天央，这个卦象，表现出地球物理的气象，与我们人类生活息息相关的，阳能快要全部上升完了。
到了四月是乾卦了，这是阳能到了极点，实际上每年最难受、最闷热的是四月，跟着来的是五月。这个卦的六爻，阳气开始减少了，每年十二个月如此，每天的十二个时辰也是一样。这在熬夜的人就会知道，我自己也有这样的体验，到了深夜十二点，子时正的时候，不管自己睡不睡得着，闭起眼睛休息一下，十分钟，二十分钟就行了，过了这个阶段，可以再熬下去，真的要睡觉的时候，是早上四五点的时候，这时候不要去睡，如果睡下去，整天都会头脑昏昏，过了寅、卯这两个时再睡，才能睡得舒坦。人的身体内部生理变化，和所说的宇宙法则完全一样，懂了这个道理，则养生之道，操之在我。
四月阳能的放射到了极点，到了五月，于是有一个节气夏至来了，所谓冬至一阳生，夏至一阴生，开始回收了，以现代的地球物理来说，地球又开始吸收太阳的放射能进来了，就像人类的呼吸一样，要吸气了。中国老祖宗说过，地球、太阳、月亮，都是“物也”——一个东西，这个东西，人类把它害了。我们中国在汉代就发现了煤矿，可是不准挖，的道理，地球是挖不得的。现在自然科学进步，挖煤，挖铀，挖各种矿，到处挖，好像一个苹果，被小孩偷偷用小匙挖来吃了，天天挖下去，表面上看来是完整的，实际上只存了一个壳壳，里面空了，开始烂了，于是虫就生得越多。和地球上的人类一样，越来越多，所以无论用什么方法节制人口，也没有办法，这是中国道家的看法。中国人素来认为地球是一个活动生命，也这样来赞美它。美国人近十二年打洞到地心去探勘，中国人几千年前就知道地下是通的。道家的《五岳真形》这部书，大家过去都看不懂，看起来古古怪怪，东一个洞，西一个洞，都是洞连起来，都是地下洞。道家说陕西的黄陵后面有一个封了的洞，据说这个洞可以通到南京。许多洞都是通的，而地球的呼吸在西北，在新疆。清朝有一本书指出的，该书的作者曾经实地看过，在塔里木有一个洞，每年清明一定的时间，如人叹气一样，发出声音，并由洞里吹出风来，无论人畜，如果遇上这股气，连影子都找不到，被化掉了。这股气吹出去，经西伯利亚等地，经过二十四小时又回来了，就像人吸气一样，吸进去，然后又安然无事了。在沙漠地带，人随水草而居，水是会搬动的，水搬移起来很怪，一个湖水，会像一方豆腐一样，在地上滚动，而所经过的途中，地上还会遗留一些鱼虾之类的水中生物。这些都是一位青海籍的蒙古族朋友告诉我，是他亲身所经历看见的。姑妄言之，姑妄听之。所谓读万卷书，行万里路。我们人类的知识到底有限，有些事不能不信。我们古代说的“大块噫气”，所谓大块就是“大块假我以文章”的“大块”，即是地球的意思，大块噫气，即地球叹气。所以我们中国道家的观念，始终认为地球是一个活的生命，它本身会呼吸，而人类之于地球，等于跳蚤之于人类，人类看见自己身上的跳蚤就抓了，地球对于我们人类，亦很讨厌，在它身上爬来爬去，还弄些十轮大卡车滚来滚去，好像人类生了疥疮一样，除也除不掉，很难受。所以用的道理来看地球，乃至这个宇宙、天体和我们人类的生命，是一个整体，而且生命的法则是一样，所以五月是夏至一阴生。一阴生的现象，从人类社会中也可以看见。现在都市中由于冷暖气的影响，较不显著；试到乡下去观察，就可看到土墙房屋的墙壁，在夏至以后便发霉了，表示潮湿来了，阴气来了。人的身体保养要注意，如果多吹电扇，加上吃冰淇淋，没有不生病的，那时生病的人特别多，就是一阴生的关系。
六月是小暑、大暑的节气，所谓三伏天。这时常看到有些人去贴膏药治病。这时是阳气慢慢要退伏了，所以名为“伏”，每十天一伏，三伏有三十天。所以夏天我们体外感到很热，这是身上的阳能向外放射，而身体的内部还是寒的，所以夏天的消化力，反而没有冬天好。以现代医学来说，夏天更多维他命乙的消耗，尤其在台湾为然，试以面粉实验，在台湾的夏天，面粉中的维他命乙挥发得更快，有时候我们觉得精神不够，心里闷闷的，实际上就是维他命乙不够，要注意补充。在某一地方，需要些什么，要特别注意，像产妇在台湾要吃麻油鸡，在大陆有的地方要吃红糖、老姜鸡汤。我们小时候到外地读书，老祖母要在我们的书箱里放一把泥土，这是为什么？第一是乡土观念，老祖母希望我们不要忘记了自己是哪里人；第二这把泥土很有功用，在外地生了病，治不好的时候，用这种家乡的泥土泡水喝，病就会好。我自己就有过这样的经历，还是多年前在西康边境，有一次身体很不舒服，自己认为不可能生病，想不出生病的原因，找医生治疗，诊断没有病，后来找到一位老和尚，也是一位名医，他替我把脉以后，也说我没有病，但是他再进一步问到我是浙江海边的人，诊断是乡土病，建议我找家乡的咸鱼吃。我看过医书，这个说法很有道理，赶快找来吃了以后，果然见效，所以有时候会生这种病，也不必害怕。
在这个图案上，依十二地支的次序，一个月一个月过去，最后亥月，是农历的十月，在卦上为坤卦，是纯阴的境界，不过十月有一个小阳春，阴极则阳生，这时有几天气候的气温要回升。诸葛亮借东风，就是利用这个气候。曹操当时敢于把战船合并起来，因为他识天文，知道气候的变化，把战船合并起来，唯一的缺点是怕火攻，但自己的水上阵地在长江上游，是西北方的位置，东吴的战船在下游，处于东南，时间正是冬天，吹的是西北风，东吴不能用火攻。诸葛亮、周瑜也知道可以用火攻，可是周瑜愁于没有东南风可助，于是诸葛亮借东风。这完全是诸葛亮玩的花样，东风哪里真是他借来的，真正的原因是诸葛亮懂得，知晓天文，在某一个气候的前三天后三天，会转东南风。他算准了这个日子，所以装模作样借东风，展开攻势，打败了曹操。曹操失败以后，回到洛阳，翻开一看，不禁哈哈大笑。他的部下感到奇怪，问他这一仗败得如此惨，还有什么可笑的。曹操说我花了那么大的本钱，今日才读懂了这一段。这就是十月天的气候变化。所以这一个图案，一定要熟记，还有八八六十四卦，也一定要背诵得很熟，将来用起来才方便。
十二辟卦的应用
八八六十四卦熟记以后用处很多，其中一个很大的用处，就是自己如果有一天，钻进八卦中去，会非常快乐，里面的天地很大，永远玩不完的。上次已经说到十二辟卦，现在开始，每次讲一点学习必须具备的基本知识。上次的十二辟卦，就是中国过去对于天文的归纳方法，认为宇宙法则，每年四季的现象和变化，这十二个卦，就是每年的十二个月代表的符号，而这十二个符号当中，包含的东西非常多，除了这十二个月以外，要注意到六十四卦的方圆图。
这张圆圈的排列方法，已经说过了，这六十四卦排列成如此一个圆圈的用途，在中国古代的气象、天象进入到天文的理论上，这个六十四卦，则代表了一年。前面曾经说过，一年有十二个月、二十四个节气，再在节气下面分气候，以五天算作一候，那么一年有七十二候，天象天气，每逢五或六天，则有一个转变的现象，至于充分的准确度，则需要加上卦的数理去计算，在当年科学还没有发达的时候，用的法则，预测气象，非常准确，乃至可以预测到半个月以后，出门时是什么天气，到了某一目的地又是什么样的天气，都可推演出来，当然有时亦和现代的气象预报一样不准，但大部分都很准。
这里的圆图，即是五天一候的排列方式，有几种计算方式，大都是以六天为一卦，六十卦则为三百六十天，丙乾、坤、坎、离这四卦，排列在上、下、左、右，不予计算，另外的六十卦，所占的时间日数，有的较多，有的较少，这有另一套计算方法，高级的计算法，要并入年份、平润去算，这是以一年来计算分析的。
以更大的范围，计算国家历史的命运，邵康节——邵雍算历史的命运，以十二辟卦扩大，把宇宙从产生到世界的毁灭，用十二辟卦来代表。比如说：“天开于子，地辟于五，人生于寅。”宇宙的开辟，用子会，于是用十二辟卦中的复卦，这一阶段，有一万多年。然后形成了地球，是用丑会，十二辟卦的地泽临卦，如一年中的十二月天气寒冷，这和现代的地球物理学说一样，在那时代，地球因冷而慢慢冻结起来，表面凸出的是高山，凹下的成为海洋，这是丑会。到了有人类存在天地间，已是进入了十二辟卦的泰卦，三阳开泰，为寅会。照我们这种古老的算法，认为宇宙的开辟一共是十二万年，以后又是另外一个人文的局面，用现代的名词来说，又是另外一个冰河时期。以目前来说，我们现在是处在“午”会，这是以尧甲辰年登位那一年作标准而开始计算的。一路分析下来，直到现在，来推算国家历史的命运。市面上流传的烧饼歌、推背图，这一类推算国家命运的书籍，都是根据邵雍的《皇极经世》上那一套来的。这是在中国文化中一套很有系统的东西，把十二辟卦、圆图方图记熟了，知道了它的计算方法，就可以了解。一般人对《皇极经世》这本书推崇得最厉害，但在许多著作上，都搞不清楚它那种算法，认为不可靠，只晓得那个东西，究竟怎样推算？则不知道。其实把记熟了，然后知道了它的方法，大家都会算，但必须是把十二辟卦和方圆圈熟悉了以后才可以，这是提出来要大家特别注意的。
另外继续以前讲的《系传》——孔子研究的心得报告——《易经顺谓的理、象、数。这里孔子所讲的是“理”的部分，即原理的部分，也可以说是哲学的部分，所提到十二辟卦、圆图、方图的运用，是象数的部分，以现代名词来说，是科学的部分。
The center of this graph is empty, we will leave it alone for now and discuss it later.In fact, this center is the most important, it represents Tai Chi, that is, the body, which is nothing in the sky.The first circle outside is twelve hexagrams.These twelve hexagrams have a special name in relevant books, called "Twelve Piguas".The so-called "pi" has the meaning of pioneering and beginning.There is another concept that everyone should pay attention to is the twelve hexagrams, also known as Hou hexagrams, which means the hexagrams of princes.In the past, I was superstitious. When I got this kind of hexagram, I thought that fate was great.The so-called "Hou Gua" is just a code name. "Yi" uses the ancient political system as an example. The emperor is in the center, and the princes are in charge of each side. The big princes guard the twelve directions, so it is called Houfang.To put it more clearly, we use our ancient political system to explain the position and nature of the twelve hexagrams. It does not mean that if the divination reaches the Hou hexagram, you must be a prince, otherwise the prince will be unsuccessful and you will be treated like a monkey. played.Confucius said that if you learn well, you will be "clean, quiet and subtle", which is indeed remarkable.If you don't learn it well, you are a "thief". After learning this for a long time, it is easy to go astray as mentioned above.In fact, this is something of the highest wisdom. The twelve Piguas are named Pi, which is based on Chapter 6 of the Second Biography of Xici: "Zi said the evil of the universe and its changes".Confucius said that the first step in research is to study the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun. If you understand the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, the door will open and you can start to study.
phallus, yin,
Mistaking Feng Jing for Ma Liang
Having said that, let's continue this chapter by the way:
"Qian is the Yang thing. Kun is the Yin thing. Yin and Yang combine virtue, and hardness and softness have a body. It is written by embodying the world,
To pass through the virtue of the gods. "
It is indeed remarkable that Confucius praised the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, but one thing must be paid special attention to. In the past sixty or seventy years, our Chinese culture has been messed up by ourselves. Several well-known scholars and some university professors also said the same, as well as Japanese People say this. When they talk about yin and yang, they are talking about the reproductive organs of men and women. Yang is the penis representing men, and yin is the vulva representing women. In two sentences, it is said that Confucius said so.In fact, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, the male reproductive organ was called the penis, and before the Tang and Song Dynasties it was called "shi", but no one called it the penis.What Confucius said here, "dryness, phallus also" refers to everything that is masculine, but it is really unreasonable for people nowadays to interpret the nouns of later generations into ancient Chinese prose!People before the Qin and Han Dynasties had a concept of the word "things", not the material concept of later generations.Things before the Qin and Han Dynasties were equal to "things" in our spoken language today.It may be fatal for people who come to verify the word "this thing" in our article today after a thousand years.For example, when people scold others today, they often say "it's not a thing" or "a nasty thing", "what are you", etc. Maybe a thousand years from now, people can write an article about "things" in 1975. " textual research article, and get a Ph.D.People nowadays understand very well that the phrase "what are you" is a curse, so the "things" that the ancients said is what we call "things" today, so Confucius cannot be said to be a materialist.Here Confucius said that Qian can represent masculine things, and Kun can represent feminine things. It is a pity that the next generation is wrong, so we need to learn more, so as to correct the incorrect thinking of the next generation, so as not to make the ancient Confucius and Laozi so miserable.
Yin Yang and Rigidity
Next:
"Yin and yang unite virtue, while rigidity and softness have a body. It is written with the body of heaven and earth, and the virtue of understanding the gods."
It means that if people understand the truth of the universe, they can reach the sky and the earth, and the table above is to explain the truth of "the evil of the universe and its changes". First, we must study the changes of the two hexagrams of the universe.
The second circle of this chart is from the inside to the outside, and the hexagrams are drawn, and the third circle is the earthly branch, representing the month.For example, today is October in the Chinese calendar, which is the month of Hai. The weather is already cold, but it is warm for a few days, which is "Xiaoyangchun".November is Ziyue, December is Chouyue..., in sequence, and the fourth circle outside, Ying Zhong, Huang Zhong, and Da Lu are the nouns of Chinese music. These twelve musical nouns are collectively called For Lulu, there is also a change in climate.Recently, I saw a newspaper article in which a music professor scolded Lulu. In fact, he did not understand what Lulu was.Another great scholar said that foreign music only has seven scales, but our country has twelve lutes, which is wrong again.There is also a paper by an old professor who applied for a certain funding, which also mentioned the issue of Lu Lu, but it is specious, so if you want to study Chinese culture, you must understand these things.The fifth circle is the twenty-four solar terms. In the future, we must remember the rules of the twelve hexagrams when we study the aspect of image and number, that is, the aspect of science.A year is divided into twelve months, half of which are yin and half are yang.Calculated in one day, half is yin and half is yang.The six hours of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, and Si every day, that is, from 11:00:00 in the middle of the night to 10:59:60 in the morning of the next day are yang, while noon, wei The six hours of , Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, that is, from 11:00:00 in the morning to 10:59:60 in the night, are yin. This is our ancient Chinese science.When modern Westerners study Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, they use modern science to verify and prove its truth, and it cannot be said that it is unscientific.
Our Chinese calendar is Xia Yu's calendar, also known as the Xia calendar, also called the lunar calendar, because the lunar calendar is based on the lunar calendar, and the moon comes out from the east on the fifteenth day of each month, so it must be round. Using this standard, we can know the The ups and downs of the tide, the time of farming, etc. can be inferred.We Chinese still like to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and the first month is the Yin month, and the twelve earthly branches start with "zi", while the sub-month of the summer calendar is November, and the solar terms in November include winter solstice and heavy snow.There are two solar terms in a month, one is the festival and the other is the qi; the heavy snow is the festival, and the winter solstice is the qi, and this time is Fu Gua.The so-called Fu Gua, the ancients of our country knew that the outside of the earth is the sun, the moon, surrounded by the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. When it is a semicircle, the other half is in the shadows. It is not known until modern times with instruments or astronauts climbing up, and it is known that all planets have the function of emitting energy, and the earth is absorbing the functions emitted by other planets on the one hand, and at the same time It itself is also radiating its energy and interacting with the functions of other planets; these theories are recorded in ancient books, which shows that the ancients in our country have a very good understanding of the science of the universe.The function of the earth absorbing the sun and the universe is like this: after the summer solstice and the birth of yin, it gradually absorbs the function of the universe until the winter solstice absorbs the function of the earth. put.The ancients also said that when Yang Qi radiates from the earth to the high altitude, it can reach more than 96,000 feet. This cannot be said that our ancients were unscientific.Thousands of years ago, they knew that the radiation function of the earth has a limit to other planets in space, which is the limit of what is called the ionized electron layer in modern times.When the earth arrives in winter, the sun's energy, which can be called the radiant energy of the sun, is sucked into the center of the earth.We can know from the condition of the well water that the well water is cool in summer and warm in winter because of the yang energy in the ground.So we Chinese eat according to the laws of the universe. It doesn’t matter if we eat ice cream in winter or something cool, because the yang energy of the stomach is restrained, and in summer it’s very hot outside, while the yang energy radiates outward, and the inside It’s empty and cold, so they don’t eat cold ones. Therefore, Chinese people used to not eat fruit on an empty stomach, and they didn’t eat fruit after a meal. When it’s cold and hot, it’s easy to go wrong. Now they learn from the West and eat fruit after a meal. , anti-science.
In November, Yang Qi is revived.This is the reason for Chinese people to nourish themselves during the winter solstice, because the digestion power is particularly strong at this time, and the nutrients are easily absorbed when the supplements are taken. ", the above are all yin lines, which represent cold, and one yang is born, which comes from the function of the ground.
An ancient book said: "Winter solstice, one yang, summer solstice, one yin".So what is Yang?It is to illustrate the physics of the earth, which is one of them.It includes too much knowledge. For example, if you study medicine, you must first study it thoroughly, because the human body also has a yang inside. Some people are old or weak, so don’t be afraid, because people have a yang phenomenon at any time, as long as you grasp it Live in this nascent yang, and adjust it properly, it will be good for your health.For example, some people can’t sleep, it seems to be insomnia, in fact, it’s due to physical exhaustion before recovery, they may be very energetic and don’t want to sleep, pay attention, this is not Yang Qi but Yin Qi, which is the same as geophysics, but after this stage, Very sleepy, will fall asleep, that is the phenomenon of Yiyang, this is the Fu Gua.
Solar Terms and Twelve Lulus
What is a "yellow bell"?It's Lulu.Twelve rhythms are Chinese inventions. When we study music, we often refer to stone, soil, pipes, and strings. In fact, these are all later.The earliest ones were pipes, which were played by wind. The strings are silk, and those who play the qin are silk strings. The so-called "Sizhu Orchestra".Our Chinese music is different from Westerners in that the sound is relatively thin. This is because China has been an agricultural society for thousands of years, unlike the United States, which was an industrial society at the beginning and lived in groups.In Western sports, everyone comes together. In Chinese sports, everyone fights each other.In terms of music, the Chinese play the piano for themselves.In Western culture, due to the group society, artistic expression is for others to appreciate, not for oneself.Secondly, the development of music is also different from that in China. Chinese music is irregular. Because of its irregularity, the realm of music art is very high, while Western music is regular. It sounds good on the surface, but in fact it is real. It's not enough to pay attention to Lulu.But Chinese music is too deep, making it even more difficult for people to appreciate and understand it.There used to be a joke about a man who played konghou all his life. Once he held a concert, the audience was full, but he only played half of it, and all the audience left. There was only an old woman sitting there crying. I was happy, and found that there was still a bosom friend in this world. After asking, it turned out that the old woman was a widow. Hearing the sound of "Duo! Duo! Dang! Dang!" Can't help but shed tears.From this joke, we can know that Chinese music is not easy to appreciate, and the truth of Lulu is not easy to understand.
Lulu was invented in the northwest of China.On the border of Shaanxi and Henan, there is a kind of Lv Guan, which is said to be shaped like bamboo but not bamboo. There are certain standards for length and thickness.Because the lengths of these twelve kinds of pipes are different, the lengths that go deep into the ground are also different, while the upper ends are flush, and the pipes are filled with reed ash. When the winter solstice comes, the ash in the longest tube is first affected by the rise of underground yang energy, and then spews out of the tube, and at the same time makes a "buzzing" sound, which is called the sound of the yellow bell.Then, every month, ash from a pipe sprayed out, making different sounds.In this way, Huangzhong, Dalu, Taicu, Jiazhong, Guxi, and Zhonglu belong to the six yangs, while below Ruibin, Lin Zhong, Yize, Nangong, Wushe, and Yingzhong belong to the six yins. Yin and yang are different. Let's talk about Chinese phonology again.For example, in poetry, there is a book called "Poetry Rhyme" in China, which is divided into Dong, Erdong, Sanjiang, Sizhi, etc. For example, "Dong" and "Dong" have the same flat tone, but if you study carefully, its pronunciation has Yinping and Yangping. The east is Yangping, and the winter is Yinping.Therefore, when I went to Shaokang Festival to study, I knew that the vibration of any kind of sound has more than 86,000 amplitudes. In a certain range, the sound can kill people, and in a certain range, the sound can save people.This kind of theory was only proved in the West in modern times, but our ancestors knew it long ago. Can we say that we are not scientific?It is a pity that our children and grandchildren did not strive for development in these sciences. It can also be said that our children and grandchildren are very competitive, because after understanding these principles, they feel that there is nothing unusual and do not use them in material aspects.
Now having said that, Huang Zhong, it is in November, which is also Ziyue. When Yiyang is born, the hexagram is the Fu hexagram. In December, the yang energy gradually rises again. The first line and the second line are both Yang Yao, there are two yangs, because the inner hexagram has changed, it becomes Dui hexagram, and Dui is Ze, so Chong hexagram becomes Dize Lin hexagram.In terms of solar terms, the minor cold is the festival, the severe cold is the qi, and the first month is the Yin month, which is the Di Tian Tai hexagram. The so-called "three yangs open Tai" means that there are already three yangs.Lulu is the sound of Taicu, the festival is the beginning of spring, and the air is rain.February is Maoyue, the hexagram image, the inner hexagram is the Qian hexagram, the outer hexagram is the Zhen hexagram, the earthquake is thunder, and the thunder sky is strong.February is the big Zhuang hexagram, and you can fly kites on the mainland.The Waking of Insects Festival in February is very important. After the beginning of winter, snakes, insects and frogs can no longer see. With a lump of mud in their mouths, they burrow into the ground, do not eat or move, and are in a half-dead state. This is called "hibernation" in modern science. Our country古代称作“蛰”或“蛰伏”，要到二月间雷天大壮的时候，第一声春雷一鸣，这些蛰伏的蛇虫青蛙，吐出口中的泥巴出洞了，称作惊蛰。过去农夫惊蛰以后下田耕作，一不小心，触到毒蛇含过的泥巴，会中毒肿痛。在大陆未过惊蛰，农作物种子下地，不会发芽生长的，一定要惊蛰第一声雷以后，才开始抽芽的，这个科学的道理，大家没有注意。前几年有一位美国农化方面的教授，来台大农学院讲学，他亦研究，所以有人介绍来看我，谈起他们美国人现在也知道研究雷和生物的关系了。据他们的研究，一声雷的结果，可以在地面产生八十万吨的自然肥料。我告诉他我们中国人老早就知道了雷的作用，而且上告诉我们，雷有八种之多，水雷屯，泽雷随，风雷益，天雷无妄，火雷噬嗑，山雷颐，地雷复，震为雷等，而地雷复的雷肥料最多。
的学问太多了，如中医也是由来的，人的身体变化，也和宇宙法则一样，如没有研究好，把脉不会把出结果来。中医的望、闻、问、切，先用眼睛看病人是什么颜色？一看神气，对他的病就知道了一半。再听他的呼吸，听他讲话的声音，就知道了一些症状。第三问，同西医一样，了解病人的年龄、籍贯、职业，如一个运动家和一个坐办公室的公务员，病状绝不同，他们患同一的病，但用同一的药方，有一人会减少效果或没有效果的，所以要问得很清楚。一个医学上的故事，唐代有一个人头痛，求神医孙思邈诊治，经过按脉，这人并没有病，到病人的居所一看，一条壁缝正对他睡觉时的头部，也就是头痛的地方，把床位移动，就不痛了。所以平常坐位置也要注意，一线风容易使人受病，处身在大风中反而没有问题，因为有了抵抗的准备。有一个朋友半身不遂，中医没有办法，我劝他到西医那里检查牙齿，他最初认为不可思议，后来检查发现有一颗牙齿坏了，拔除这颗牙齿，半身不遂好了。过去牙科医生最难，要学七年才能毕业，医师会诊，牙医是坐首席的，有如此重要，可见为医之难。我有一次在国防医学院讲演，我说没有医生能医好病的，医生如能医好病，人就不会死了，但医生照行医，人还是照死，中国有句俗话：“药医不死病，佛度有缘人。”有一种病，中西医都医不好，这是什么病广死病！”我又说，现在学医的人动机很坏，都是为了想赚大钱，这是很糟的，以赚钱为目的学医，就不去学医理，只是学点技术，所以医越来越退步。学医当学医理，在德国就有医理学家，可见人家对医的重视。
我说这些闲话，是说明中的学问，没有哪一样的原则不包括进去。
三月的卦，到了春天了，节气是清明、谷雨，大陆的气候，最舒服是清明，真是天朗气爽，和风徐来。另一个是相对的秋分。孔子所以写《春秋》，因为春分和秋分都是均衡的，气候不冷不热，这时以的地球物理来说，是央卦，外卦是兑卦，兑为泽，内卦是乾卦，乾为天，泽天央，这个卦象，表现出地球物理的气象，与我们人类生活息息相关的，阳能快要全部上升完了。
到了四月是乾卦了，这是阳能到了极点，实际上每年最难受、最闷热的是四月，跟着来的是五月。这个卦的六爻，阳气开始减少了，每年十二个月如此，每天的十二个时辰也是一样。这在熬夜的人就会知道，我自己也有这样的体验，到了深夜十二点，子时正的时候，不管自己睡不睡得着，闭起眼睛休息一下，十分钟，二十分钟就行了，过了这个阶段，可以再熬下去，真的要睡觉的时候，是早上四五点的时候，这时候不要去睡，如果睡下去，整天都会头脑昏昏，过了寅、卯这两个时再睡，才能睡得舒坦。人的身体内部生理变化，和所说的宇宙法则完全一样，懂了这个道理，则养生之道，操之在我。
四月阳能的放射到了极点，到了五月，于是有一个节气夏至来了，所谓冬至一阳生，夏至一阴生，开始回收了，以现代的地球物理来说，地球又开始吸收太阳的放射能进来了，就像人类的呼吸一样，要吸气了。中国老祖宗说过，地球、太阳、月亮，都是“物也”——一个东西，这个东西，人类把它害了。我们中国在汉代就发现了煤矿，可是不准挖，的道理，地球是挖不得的。现在自然科学进步，挖煤，挖铀，挖各种矿，到处挖，好像一个苹果，被小孩偷偷用小匙挖来吃了，天天挖下去，表面上看来是完整的，实际上只存了一个壳壳，里面空了，开始烂了，于是虫就生得越多。和地球上的人类一样，越来越多，所以无论用什么方法节制人口，也没有办法，这是中国道家的看法。中国人素来认为地球是一个活动生命，也这样来赞美它。美国人近十二年打洞到地心去探勘，中国人几千年前就知道地下是通的。道家的《五岳真形》这部书，大家过去都看不懂，看起来古古怪怪，东一个洞，西一个洞，都是洞连起来，都是地下洞。道家说陕西的黄陵后面有一个封了的洞，据说这个洞可以通到南京。许多洞都是通的，而地球的呼吸在西北，在新疆。清朝有一本书指出的，该书的作者曾经实地看过，在塔里木有一个洞，每年清明一定的时间，如人叹气一样，发出声音，并由洞里吹出风来，无论人畜，如果遇上这股气，连影子都找不到，被化掉了。这股气吹出去，经西伯利亚等地，经过二十四小时又回来了，就像人吸气一样，吸进去，然后又安然无事了。在沙漠地带，人随水草而居，水是会搬动的，水搬移起来很怪，一个湖水，会像一方豆腐一样，在地上滚动，而所经过的途中，地上还会遗留一些鱼虾之类的水中生物。这些都是一位青海籍的蒙古族朋友告诉我，是他亲身所经历看见的。姑妄言之，姑妄听之。所谓读万卷书，行万里路。我们人类的知识到底有限，有些事不能不信。我们古代说的“大块噫气”，所谓大块就是“大块假我以文章”的“大块”，即是地球的意思，大块噫气，即地球叹气。所以我们中国道家的观念，始终认为地球是一个活的生命，它本身会呼吸，而人类之于地球，等于跳蚤之于人类，人类看见自己身上的跳蚤就抓了，地球对于我们人类，亦很讨厌，在它身上爬来爬去，还弄些十轮大卡车滚来滚去，好像人类生了疥疮一样，除也除不掉，很难受。所以用的道理来看地球，乃至这个宇宙、天体和我们人类的生命，是一个整体，而且生命的法则是一样，所以五月是夏至一阴生。一阴生的现象，从人类社会中也可以看见。现在都市中由于冷暖气的影响，较不显著；试到乡下去观察，就可看到土墙房屋的墙壁，在夏至以后便发霉了，表示潮湿来了，阴气来了。人的身体保养要注意，如果多吹电扇，加上吃冰淇淋，没有不生病的，那时生病的人特别多，就是一阴生的关系。
六月是小暑、大暑的节气，所谓三伏天。这时常看到有些人去贴膏药治病。这时是阳气慢慢要退伏了，所以名为“伏”，每十天一伏，三伏有三十天。所以夏天我们体外感到很热，这是身上的阳能向外放射，而身体的内部还是寒的，所以夏天的消化力，反而没有冬天好。以现代医学来说，夏天更多维他命乙的消耗，尤其在台湾为然，试以面粉实验，在台湾的夏天，面粉中的维他命乙挥发得更快，有时候我们觉得精神不够，心里闷闷的，实际上就是维他命乙不够，要注意补充。在某一地方，需要些什么，要特别注意，像产妇在台湾要吃麻油鸡，在大陆有的地方要吃红糖、老姜鸡汤。我们小时候到外地读书，老祖母要在我们的书箱里放一把泥土，这是为什么？第一是乡土观念，老祖母希望我们不要忘记了自己是哪里人；第二这把泥土很有功用，在外地生了病，治不好的时候，用这种家乡的泥土泡水喝，病就会好。我自己就有过这样的经历，还是多年前在西康边境，有一次身体很不舒服，自己认为不可能生病，想不出生病的原因，找医生治疗，诊断没有病，后来找到一位老和尚，也是一位名医，他替我把脉以后，也说我没有病，但是他再进一步问到我是浙江海边的人，诊断是乡土病，建议我找家乡的咸鱼吃。我看过医书，这个说法很有道理，赶快找来吃了以后，果然见效，所以有时候会生这种病，也不必害怕。
在这个图案上，依十二地支的次序，一个月一个月过去，最后亥月，是农历的十月，在卦上为坤卦，是纯阴的境界，不过十月有一个小阳春，阴极则阳生，这时有几天气候的气温要回升。诸葛亮借东风，就是利用这个气候。曹操当时敢于把战船合并起来，因为他识天文，知道气候的变化，把战船合并起来，唯一的缺点是怕火攻，但自己的水上阵地在长江上游，是西北方的位置，东吴的战船在下游，处于东南，时间正是冬天，吹的是西北风，东吴不能用火攻。诸葛亮、周瑜也知道可以用火攻，可是周瑜愁于没有东南风可助，于是诸葛亮借东风。这完全是诸葛亮玩的花样，东风哪里真是他借来的，真正的原因是诸葛亮懂得，知晓天文，在某一个气候的前三天后三天，会转东南风。他算准了这个日子，所以装模作样借东风，展开攻势，打败了曹操。曹操失败以后，回到洛阳，翻开一看，不禁哈哈大笑。他的部下感到奇怪，问他这一仗败得如此惨，还有什么可笑的。曹操说我花了那么大的本钱，今日才读懂了这一段。这就是十月天的气候变化。所以这一个图案，一定要熟记，还有八八六十四卦，也一定要背诵得很熟，将来用起来才方便。
十二辟卦的应用
八八六十四卦熟记以后用处很多，其中一个很大的用处，就是自己如果有一天，钻进八卦中去，会非常快乐，里面的天地很大，永远玩不完的。上次已经说到十二辟卦，现在开始，每次讲一点学习必须具备的基本知识。上次的十二辟卦，就是中国过去对于天文的归纳方法，认为宇宙法则，每年四季的现象和变化，这十二个卦，就是每年的十二个月代表的符号，而这十二个符号当中，包含的东西非常多，除了这十二个月以外，要注意到六十四卦的方圆图。
这张圆圈的排列方法，已经说过了，这六十四卦排列成如此一个圆圈的用途，在中国古代的气象、天象进入到天文的理论上，这个六十四卦，则代表了一年。前面曾经说过，一年有十二个月、二十四个节气，再在节气下面分气候，以五天算作一候，那么一年有七十二候，天象天气，每逢五或六天，则有一个转变的现象，至于充分的准确度，则需要加上卦的数理去计算，在当年科学还没有发达的时候，用的法则，预测气象，非常准确，乃至可以预测到半个月以后，出门时是什么天气，到了某一目的地又是什么样的天气，都可推演出来，当然有时亦和现代的气象预报一样不准，但大部分都很准。
这里的圆图，即是五天一候的排列方式，有几种计算方式，大都是以六天为一卦，六十卦则为三百六十天，丙乾、坤、坎、离这四卦，排列在上、下、左、右，不予计算，另外的六十卦，所占的时间日数，有的较多，有的较少，这有另一套计算方法，高级的计算法，要并入年份、平润去算，这是以一年来计算分析的。
以更大的范围，计算国家历史的命运，邵康节——邵雍算历史的命运，以十二辟卦扩大，把宇宙从产生到世界的毁灭，用十二辟卦来代表。比如说：“天开于子，地辟于五，人生于寅。”宇宙的开辟，用子会，于是用十二辟卦中的复卦，这一阶段，有一万多年。然后形成了地球，是用丑会，十二辟卦的地泽临卦，如一年中的十二月天气寒冷，这和现代的地球物理学说一样，在那时代，地球因冷而慢慢冻结起来，表面凸出的是高山，凹下的成为海洋，这是丑会。到了有人类存在天地间，已是进入了十二辟卦的泰卦，三阳开泰，为寅会。照我们这种古老的算法，认为宇宙的开辟一共是十二万年，以后又是另外一个人文的局面，用现代的名词来说，又是另外一个冰河时期。以目前来说，我们现在是处在“午”会，这是以尧甲辰年登位那一年作标准而开始计算的。一路分析下来，直到现在，来推算国家历史的命运。市面上流传的烧饼歌、推背图，这一类推算国家命运的书籍，都是根据邵雍的《皇极经世》上那一套来的。这是在中国文化中一套很有系统的东西，把十二辟卦、圆图方图记熟了，知道了它的计算方法，就可以了解。一般人对《皇极经世》这本书推崇得最厉害，但在许多著作上，都搞不清楚它那种算法，认为不可靠，只晓得那个东西，究竟怎样推算？则不知道。其实把记熟了，然后知道了它的方法，大家都会算，但必须是把十二辟卦和方圆圈熟悉了以后才可以，这是提出来要大家特别注意的。
另外继续以前讲的《系传》——孔子研究的心得报告——《易经顺谓的理、象、数。这里孔子所讲的是“理”的部分，即原理的部分，也可以说是哲学的部分，所提到十二辟卦、圆图、方图的运用，是象数的部分，以现代名词来说，是科学的部分。
