Chapter 6 the sixth part
metaplasia
"The scope of heaven and earth is nothing but." The meaning of "range" is similar to that of miron.Chinese culture attaches great importance to the art of writing. A rigid concept is artistically expressed in writing, using synonyms and different writing arts.The scope here is a little smaller than that of Milun in terms of form, but the meaning of Milun is far more profound.This sentence refers to the knowledge that includes the "transformation" of the universe. Chinese culture believes that everything in the universe is "transformed", and life comes from changes. Therefore, the term "good fortune" in Chinese Taoism later became Cheng bad luck is bad luck.In fact, the "creation" of "good fortune" is like the master said by religious scholars. "Hua", everything in life is changing in the universe, so we Chinese take life and death very plainly.When a person dies, it is called "materialization". Birth and death are nothing special, they are just changes in the physical body itself.There is life, there is aging, there is aging, there is death, and death will come again, it is just materialized.The principle of life goes back and forth, which is called reincarnation in Buddhism, and described in literature as "eathering and ascending to heaven", which is equivalent to turning into a bird.For example, the sand deer in our ancient books, the ancient Taoist books say that it was transformed into a shark on the seashore, but modern natural science does not recognize this.I believe in modern science, and I also love ancient Chinese culture, as stated in "Hua Shu" written by Taoist Tan Qiao.For example, shiitake mushrooms, he said, are metaplasia. When the tree rots, the seeds go down, and another life comes out, which is metaplasia. Bacteria cultivate metaplasia, and everything is metaplasia by bacteria. But turn the term metaplasia into biochemical , Everyone believed it and thought it was science.The word "hua" includes many meanings, including various sciences of modern chemistry and physics, so Confucius said that it includes the changes of all things in the universe, the principle that nothing can escape, and includes all knowledge.
Qu Zequan
"Music into all things without leaving behind".Pay attention to the word "qu", which is very clever. Lao Tzu has a saying that "qu is complete". Some people say that after reading "Lao Tzu", one will become a strategist and conspirator, which is very powerful.Because Lao Tzu told us not to take the straight road, but to take a detour to achieve success, and to deal with things and turn a corner will be successful.For example, when a child plays with fire, he scolds and interferes directly. The child runs away, but he turns a corner with a method and gives him a toy, so he stops playing with fire. This is the whole story.Laozi's principle of the word "qu" came from here, and Confucius also discovered this truth.Because research has shown that there is no straight line in the laws of the universe, and modern science has also proved that the orbit in space is also a circle, so the growth of all things follows a curve.When people understand this truth, they know that there is no way out of a straight line in life, and they have to turn a corner.Nowadays, when we talk about beauty, we also pay attention to curves. Everything does not deviate from this principle.
How did you fall asleep?How did you wake up?
"It is known through the way of day and night."Day and night are yin and yang. If you understand the principle of day and night, you will know the great knowledge.If you really study it, the principle of day and night will be difficult to understand.I often ask people who study Zen and meditate, if they live to be fifty or sixty years old, do they know how they fell asleep?How did you wake up again?I really don’t know. If the answer can be obtained, this person understands the truth.Another example is the "original face" mentioned in Zen Buddhism. No one has ever seen it for themselves. What is reflected in the mirror is also the reverse side, not the original face. No matter how good the knowledge is, the problem of how to see one's own face cannot be solved.Why insomnia?Chinese medical theory says that due to the heart-kidney disharmony, the circulation of blood in the heart is not normal, the kidney-kidney qi, the lower body of the human body includes the kidney and the hormonal system.Modern medicine also says that people yawn when there is not enough oxygen, and wake up when there is enough oxygen, but neither can explain this problem. I still don’t know how to fall asleep or wake up, so the problem of day and night is still a big problem.Looking at the biological world again, there are many nocturnal creatures, and their activities are even more intense, especially when you go to the mountains and fields, you will know this phenomenon.There are many birds, beasts, insects, creatures that have never been seen before, and they start to move at night.Their lives do not want white light, but prefer black light. From this point of view, it can be seen that the problem of day and night is very big.Only by understanding these principles can one know the functions of yin and yang, and one has just started to learn. Therefore, one must study hard to be profound, and one must think deeply. If one does not think deeply, one will become a nerd.
God has no way, no body
"Therefore God has no way and Yi has no body."This god is not a god of religion, but a god of Chinese culture.In our primitive culture, the ruler of life and the universe have no religious concept. The thing that is the unity of man and nature is called God. Western philosophy calls it the "noumenon" of all things in the universe, which is also a function.Fang, where God has no place, is also called "Fang Suo" in ancient Chinese, which means position, and no place means no place, no place, and nowhere. "Shen Wufang" means that the function of being the ruler of the universe is omnipresent and omnipresent.Like the law of change, the circulation is not limited to a certain point, and the most important thing to study is here.Basically, it is like "the first movement of a line" in the Qian hexagram. Where does this movement come from?The answer is "God has no way". "And Yi has no body", the so-called ontology is an abstract noun, which is the body of no body, and the action of inaction; the so-called "Tao" is also an abstract synonym, without fixed and informal.Not fixed or not, is the law of the universe.If you look at the things in the universe, there are infinite changes, and the forecast of the weather is often inaccurate, because "the god has no direction and the body has no body", and the sudden change of the weather is uncertain.Then, if we say that the knowledge we study must be about a certain range, then we will make a logical error, because it clearly tells us that "God has no way, but Yi has no body."The knowledge is infinitely varied, and it can be called art, science, or philosophy, because "Yiwutai" is not rigid, and any name can be used.However, the two sentences "God has no way, but Yi has no body" are also the pinnacle of Chinese religious philosophy.If we study Western culture, Greek philosophy, Western religious philosophy, and study all Western things, and look back at ourselves, we will find that the culture of our ancestors is the greatest.From the perspective of the development of human cultural history, these two sentences were first proposed by us. We will talk about this in "Xi Ci" for the time being. Next, we will look at the first hexagram-Qian hexagram.
Qian Yuan of Yuan, Heng, Li and Zhen
The mouth is the heavy hexagram of the Sanhua hexagram, which is divided into two hexagrams, the inner and the lower, that is, the upper and lower hexagrams. The upper hexagram is the outer hexagram, and the lower hexagram is the inner hexagram. Qian Gua.The upper hexagram is also the Qian hexagram.What does this hexagram represent?Let's not give an answer, let's read this "Book of Changes" first. The book "Book of Changes" is said to be Zhou Wenwang's commentary on the sixty-four hexagrams, which is the commentary that Zhou Wenwang used his wisdom to meditate when he was imprisoned in Maili.This work is called "Book of Changes" by later generations, which is equivalent to saying that it is a report of his research experience.We can look at it from such a plain view that there is no need to be too sacred.If we look at it with a holy attitude, there are many problems.Let's look at it with a plain attitude. His research experience on Qian Gua is as follows:
"Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen."
In Chinese culture, these four characters are called "Gua Ci", which means the pattern of the hexagram Qian Gua, and he uses these four characters to explain.We cannot read these four characters in one sentence according to the current reading method, but each character has its own independent meaning. "Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen." That is to say, the Qian hexagram has four phenomena of Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen.Yuan can be said to be the instinct of the universe, or it can be said to be the beginning of all things, such as Qi Yuan, the source of a thing, and many others.When it comes to philosophy, stem is the body of the universe. Everything in the universe can be said to be stem and element. Everything in the universe is created by its function, so it is called element.This is the characteristic of Chinese culture. It neither talks about God nor Bodhisattva, neither materialism nor idealism, but the instinct of the universe; we use a code name of Qian Gua to express it, which is scientific, not religious, and not pure philosophy of thought.The second concept is that the Qian hexagram represents "Heng".Prosperity means pass, is prospering, no disadvantages, accessible everywhere, without hindrance.The third meaning is benefit, everything is beneficial.The so-called benefit is not the benefit of making money for profit now. There is no opposite, no hindrance, and no harm. The ancient interpretation of "Zhen" is "Zhenzhe Zhengye", which means righteousness, complete and undamaged.
Above is the hexagram written by King Wen.
Do not use Qianlong
"On the ninth day of the ninth day, don't use Qianlong."
This is Yao Ci, which analyzes the whole hexagram and explains part by part.When our ancestors drew gossip, there were no text annotations underneath, because there were no text at that time, and the creation of text was a hexagram from the beginning.The original source of the characters of any nation in the world is the pattern.The text below the hexagrams was added by later generations. The text of "Zhouyi" was added by King Wen at the beginning. The hexagrams and lines are his interpretations of the hexagrams.
The meaning of "ninth day of the first day", as mentioned earlier, the Yang hexagram is represented by nine, because the number of yang is the highest number with nine, so when you see the number nine, you know it represents Yang, and the ninth day of the first day refers to the first line of the Qian hexagram In terms of.The above hexagrams are just the four characters Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen, which are very simple and abstract.Here the line says "Don't use Qianlong in the ninth day of the junior high school", and suddenly a "dragon" comes out. How did this dragon come from?We must first understand that Chinese culture is the culture of dragons.Since the time of the Yellow Emperor, officials have been divided in the political system, with dragons as official names, such as Dragon Master and Dragon Emperor, all represented by dragons.The dragon is the greatest symbol of Chinese culture, our flag for thousands of years.Chinese culture always uses dragons as symbols for those great, auspicious and admirable Vientiane.Westerners, especially the British, in the past few hundred years, a lot of data show that they are very defensive and unfavorable to us Chinese. They have always been psychologically afraid of China.There is a school of Christianity who is afraid of seeing and hearing dragons.They said that the "Bible" said that dragons are devils, and secondly, they regarded dinosaurs, these ancient giant creatures, as dragons in China. These concepts are all wrong.We Chinese need to understand clearly that our dragon culture, first, is not the dragon mentioned in the Christian "Bible", not the devil.Our dragon is respected by heaven and man, and represents God in religious concepts.Second, to be honest, no one has ever seen our Chinese dragon, so it goes without saying that it was a mistake for them to use the bones dug up from the ground as the keel.Chinese dragons are not only three-living, but even four-living. They can swim in water, walk on land, and fly in the air. When the dragon changes greatly, it can fill the universe. When it is young, it is as invisible as a hair, and sometimes it becomes a human. Sometimes become fairy.What the hell is a dragon?Can not have a fixed specific image.In fact, the dragon in Chinese culture is just eight characters: "changeable, unpredictable".If you learn Chinese culture, everyone can be Zhuge Liang.If you look at the dinosaurs of foreigners, you can see all of them. If Chinese painters draw dragons, if they draw all the dragons, no matter who the famous painters are, they will be worthless. "The dragon sees the head but does not see the end".The whole body of the dragon has never been seen by anyone, which is the meaning of "changing and unpredictable".Only when we understand the spirit of the dragon can we know where the spirit of our own culture lies. This is also the principle of great statesmen, philosophy, and culture.On the other hand, when we understand the eight characters of "changeable, unpredictable", we also understand the whole principle of the Chinese.Tell us that everything in the world is changing anytime and anywhere, there is no constant thing, no constant person, and no constant thing.Because we are not sure about ourselves, what is in our own thoughts in the next second?Not sure of knowing either.
Second, why are dragons mentioned here?When we know the spirit of the dragon, we can understand.Speaking of the dragon in Qian Gua, it represents the original and greatest function of life in the universe.The Qian hexagram also represents the sun.The sun appears and disappears day and night, divided into six stages: the first one is the sun at night, lying below - the other side of the earth, it used to be said that it is at the bottom of the earth, on the side of the center of the earth, what we cannot see is "Qianlong" ".If the divination gets the first line of Qian Gua, then "Don't use Qianlong", it's best not to move, if you want to find a job, you don't even need to send out your resume.But pay attention to the word "don't", is it "cannot be used", "not available", "do not apply" or "useless"?It is even more difficult to translate into vernacular.However, the word "don't" also includes these meanings, but it doesn't mean that the value of using does not exist, just don't use it at this time.Qianlong is a dragon that is still lurking, has incomparable functions, incomparable value, and is useless yet.When Zhuge Liang was still in Gaowo, Nanyang, he called himself Mr. Wolong, which meant that he had great ambitions, and he thought he was a potential dragon.
see dragon in field
"Ninety-two, see the dragon in the field, and benefit the adults."
The ninety-two line is the middle line of the inner hexagram of the Qian Gua, and the middle line is the best and most important.In the second line of the ninth line, seeing the dragon in the field and benefiting from seeing the lord, it is impossible to express the original meaning only by translating the vernacular. "Seeing the dragon in the field", seeing means present.When a dragon is in the field, it is like a tiger falling into the sky and being bullied by a dog. How can he benefit the adults?It is necessary to understand the meaning of "Tian". Chinese characters are different from Western characters. Not only are they monophonic characters, but a word often contains several different meanings.Tian Writing in Ancient China
, is a pattern painting, the top is connected for reason, the bottom is connected for Jia, and the bottom is connected for Shen, and the word Shen is displayed next to it, and the sign of the sky is God, and the god is connected up and down, so the ghost characters also go from the field to the top. No, if you go down, you will become a ghost, and if you add two hairs later, you will become a ghost.Lightning and thunder come from the field, water flows from the sky, thunder strikes from the ground, and the thunder descends to become electricity.This is the origin of the structure of Chinese characters. Every character has a reason, and it is not as hard to put together as ABCD.From the explanation above, we know that the word Tian here represents the ground, that is, the earth. Don’t use the modern concept to think that Tian is just a field for growing rice, which is wrong.The hexagram of seeing the dragon in the field is that the sun has just risen from the ground in the morning, and the light is shining through. At this time, it is "beneficial to see adults".If you find this hexagram, the divination person says, if you go to see the chairman of the board or some senior officials for advice, you will definitely succeed.An adult is not a very big person. In ancient times, an adult and a villain were relative names, just like the name "noble person", which did not necessarily refer to a very big noble official.If someone falls, a scavenger happens to see him and pick him up and send him to the hospital. This scavenger is the nobleman of the faller.Whether the noble is expensive or not is that when help is just needed in time and space, it is the noble who helps.
dry all day long
"Nine three, a gentleman works all day long, and is vigilant at night, without blame."
The third line is the upper line of the inner hexagram. If only the three-drawing hexagram is used, it has reached its peak.If you learn it, you don’t need to divination. There are sixty-four hexagrams. None of the hexagrams is completely good or completely bad. Every hexagram has good and bad, and bad and good.Retire modestly, give in modestly, take advantage of others and don’t want it for yourself. This is of course good. The six lines are all auspicious. This is the principle of the universe and the principle of life.Now the third line of the Qian hexagram, the problem is coming. In terms of life history, young people are still studying in college and have not yet received a Ph.D.After getting the diploma and stepping into the society, it is the ninety-two line, seeing the dragon in the field, and seeing the adults.Find a job with a diploma, and then have a job, status, and prestige, which is the third line.In terms of life age, the first line is from ten to twenty years old, the second line is from twenty to thirty years old, and the third line is from thirty to middle age. At this time, it should be "a gentleman works all day long, If you are vigilant at night, there is no blame for you."Let's explain some words first. We have already explained Qian Gua, which is the outline and the beginning of the universe, just like the duty of life.A gentleman works all day long, which means that a person must maintain his duty and normalcy all day long, and this will always be the case; not only that, but at night, he must be vigilant against himself, not to relax, just as careful as during the day.That is to say, when you are proud of your work in middle age, you must be careful when you are doing things anytime and anywhere, and you can't even relax in your old age. The ideas of "University" and "Doctrine of the Mean" all come from here, which is the so-called "Ti Ruo". "Strength" refers to the concentration and concentration of the spirit. If you hone yourself, there will be nothing wrong with it.Whether such a hexagram is good or not, if you go to the street for divination, the fortune teller will say it is very good.But be careful, because fate still has many crises, and if you are not careful, you will have problems anytime, anywhere, and you must have such strict requirements on yourself, so that you will not go wrong.Everything depends on oneself, not on others, nor on the environment.When people are proud, they are afraid of forgetting their form, and this hexagram is useful at this time.
or jump in the abyss
"September 4th, or jumped into the abyss, there is no blame."
When it comes to the fourth line, it's wonderful.From the perspective of the whole hexagram, the inner and outer hexagrams are clearly divided into two sections, which means that a dragon or a fish jumped out of the deep water, there is no fault, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is about to come out.But pay attention to the word "or" in "or jump in the deep", this line is really good, and it's up to me.For example, if a person has reached the peak of his career, it is good to go one step further, to take a step, or not to take the leap.Nine Fourth is the first line of the outer hexagram, corresponding to the first line of the inner hexagram, and has incomparable value.
flying dragon in the sky
"Ninth Five-Year, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adults."
Most people call the emperor the "Ninth Five-Year Lord", thinking that it is the "Ninth Five-Year Plan".It should be noted that the ninety-five statue representing the emperor is a symbol expressed according to the yang number in the number. To be supreme and upright does not only refer to the ninety-five lines here.The fifth line of the Qian hexagram is different from the fourth line. At this time, the flying dragon is in the sky, flying in the air like a dragon.After the whole research is over, there are not many hexagrams and lines of Mr. Lijian. What kind of Mr. Lijian are you seeing here?Assuming that we take Han Gaozu as an example, when he defeated Xiang Yu and started his own business, it was Feilong who was in the sky, and he wanted to benefit from an adult. Who is this adult?It means that all the people he met were good people and helpful people. Looking at the life of Han Gaozu, it was just a hexagram. At first, it was said that he was a pavilion chief, drinking and drinking all day long. Useful, later when Feilong was in the sky and Li saw adults, all the people he met were good people, everyone was useful, everyone said he was good, and they all helped him.
Kanglong has regrets
At the last line of each hexagram, the yang line is called "Shang Jiu", the yin line is called "Shang Liu", the first line of each hexagram is "Chu", and the last sixth line is "Shang".The Ninth Five-Year Plan is the middle line in the external hexagrams. People take the middle line, and things take the middle line. It is not at the apex, and it is not at the top, so tell us the middle line.Fortune-telling depends on whether you are lucky or not, if you get it at the right time, if you get it, if you get it, you will go everywhere, if you don't get it, you will be everywhere.This middle can also be read as the sound of "Zhong", such as hitting a target, that's right.When you reach the upper nine, you will be repentant, and the arrogant are high, extremely high, high without status, expensive without people.In Chinese philosophy, the emperor called himself "lonely family" and "widowed man". When he reached the highest position, he was very lonely, and all he heard were good things. There are not many people who can talk now!" I said this is "Kanglong has regrets"!So when a person's age reaches that high position, everyone calls him old man, invites him to sit down everywhere, and this has reached Kanglong Yougui.The regret here is not the regret of regret, but the obscurity of bad luck.In other words, don't do everything to the extreme, if you do it to the top, you will be sorry, you will have regrets, and you will be guaranteed to suffer, and troubles will follow.Looking at how good Tang Xuanzong was in history, it was a miserable situation when he gave up his throne to his son.
Seeing dragons without a leader—Ji
"Use nine to see dragons without a leader, good luck."
Pay attention to the two characters "Yongjiu", there is only "Yongjiu" in the Qian hexagram, and "Yongliu" in the Kun hexagram, and these two characters do not appear in other hexagrams, there is a problem in the middle.We know that nine represents Yang Yao, and there are explanations from the ninth day to the upper ninth day, so what does it mean to use nine?Look below and see that the dragons have no leader, Kat.When the Qian hexagram comes here, it will be auspicious.How do you say this?In the relevant books studied by later generations, each has its own way of saying this sentence, and each has its own set of theories and a set of sayings.But after the research is done, it is very simple.Let me tell you a word now, using nine means not being used by nine, but that you can use nine.So which line of nine is used for nine?Neither line is the same, and any line is relevant, which is brilliant.We can only use Chinese culture and history as a representative to illustrate this matter.That is, when I talked about it before, I said that Chinese culture pays attention to Taoist hermits.The hermits of the past dynasties have an absolute relationship with the creation of the historical era at that time, but they cannot be found in the historical records. For example, who cultivated Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era?It was his father-in-law Huang Chengyan and teacher Pang De, hermits.For example, they use nine to change the era of history, but they are not affected by the environment, so they use nine.Seeing that the dragons have no leader, there is no beginning, there will never be a beginning, and there will never be an end. There will be no stage, and of course there will be no step down.The use of nine is the most brilliant, and those who use nine are not used by nine.In other words, it tells us the reason for doing things. In modern terms, it means doing things with absolute objectivity, not having nothing to do with the times, but everything to do with them. This is the way to truly lead the historical era. "The heads of the dragons" is a circle, complete, so good luck.In terms of being a human being, there is no such thing as self-exaltation.Zeng Zi also said: "Those who ask for others are afraid of others." The more you ask for others, the more you will be afraid of them. If you don't ask for it, you should use the principle of nine. With the meaning of being up for sale, with nine, I have forgotten myself.Speaking in modern language, using nine is the highest philosophical spirit in Chinese culture.Some people say that Confucianism is a political philosophy that praises the emperor. This is wrong. The thoughts of Confucianism and Taoism have always been there.
"Tuanci"——Confucius' Criticism of
"Yue Jia said", a speech.I once introduced elephant as an animal. It is said that this animal can bite off iron, so I borrowed this term.彖ci is the meaning of adjudication, affirmative words.It is said that "Tuan Ci" was also written by Confucius. From a modern point of view, "Tuan Ci" is the conclusion and criticism of Confucius' study of the sixty-four hexagrams.The traditional saying is that "Gua Ci" and "Yao Ci" were both written by King Wen. One said that "Gua Ci" was written by King Wen of Zhou, and "Yao Ci" was written by Zhou Gong, but it is difficult to determine who wrote it in terms of textual research. .
creator of the universe
"Great Qianyuan, the beginning of all things, is the unification of heaven."
Confucian research asserts that his humanistic and cultural concepts began.As we have said before, the Qian hexagrams represent, for example, the body represents the head, and the eight trigrams in Chinese medicine represent the stem as the head, Kun as the abdomen, Gen as the back, Li as the eyes, Kan as the ears, Xun as the nose, and Dui as the Mouth and so on, very reasonable.Regardless of these assertions of Confucius, he only said that the Qian Gua represents the root, function, and function of life in the universe, and that everything in the universe is created by it.As mentioned earlier, unlike Western culture, Western culture says that the universe is created by one God, one god, and one master.Chinese culture does not follow this set, but it is neither materialistic nor idealistic. This function is inexplicable, so we draw a symbol to represent it. This symbol is called Qian. It includes idealism, materialism, and God, ghosts and gods, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas have been separated from the colors of religion and metaphysics, and are scientific philosophy.How do you know that Confucius' research means that Qian Gua represents the essence of all things in the universe?Here he clearly stated that "all things begin", and the beginning of all things in the universe depends on the function of stems. This is the first concept of Qian Gua; , the entire universe is within the scope of Qian, and Qian governs the universe, so from the study of Confucius' concepts, we must also notice that he believed that the Qian Gua proposed by King Wen and Zhou Gong represented the body, root, and life of the universe. origin of.
"Clouds travel and rain, and goods flow."
That is to say, our universe is like the blowing of the wind. Why does the wind blow?Daily weather reports, this is science, but why did the cold snap rise in Siberia?How did the typhoon rise?When the typhoon first came up, I saw only a small bubble rotating and gradually expanding. This is physics, but how did this small bubble come about?To study these is the philosophy of science.Now Confucius said that the popularity of clouds, the falling of rain, thunder, lightning, and the changes of all things in the universe all depend on the function of Qian Gua. When the function is activated, there will be a phenomenon, clouds will occur, and rain will occur in a certain phenomenon. Consists of all kinds of all things.
The Jade Emperor's Six Dragons and Horses
"The big time ends, the six people complete, and the time rides the six dragons to control the sky."
This is to explain the source of time, time is man-made in science and philosophy, time is relative, there is no absolute.Western modern science only knew that the time of the universe is relative after the discovery of Einstein's theory of relativity, while Chinese Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism have long told us that time is relative, not absolute.Taoism has long said that a day and night on the moon is equivalent to a month on the earth. Now science has proved that this is indeed the case, but we believe what modern foreigners say, but we don’t believe what our ancestors said with such certainty. "The beginning of the Ming Dynasty" refers to the time. The Ming Dynasty begins in the morning and ends in the evening. "Six Hours", we Chinese used to divide the day into six stages, and the night into six stages, forming twelve hours.One hour is equal to two o'clock now, so there are six figures, and these six figures are based on the idea of drawing hexagrams as six lines, which is man-made, relative, not absolute.Maybe the time division of the sun and other planets is different from ours, but the formation of the six time in China also comes from the function of Qian Gua. "Time rides on six dragons to control the sky", the dragon is used to represent the movement of time, flying in the air like a dragon, because the dragon is invisible, but it also has the function of flying, the time is from dawn in the morning to dark at night. In this stage, it is always rotating, like six dragons connecting together, driving past the celestial body regularly.Later, in literature, religious myths said that when the Jade Emperor went on tour, there were six dragons pulling his chariot, which was also made up from this sentence.In fact, this sentence means that the composition of time in the universe, the relationship with the earth and human beings, has certain laws, and this function comes from Qian Gua.
Prosperous Baohe Taihe
"The main road changes, everyone corrects their lives, and protects Taihe, Nai Lizhen."
Here clearly tells us the origin of life, Confucianism, Taoism, various schools of thought, and the cultivation of life in Chinese culture, all come from here.Here we are told to recognize the principle of Qian, the essence of life, and if we grasp this point, we will know the changes of the main path. In correcting our lives, if we really understand this principle, we can cultivate ourselves and live forever.In Chinese culture, Taoism emphasizes two things—"sex" and "fate". Sex is the life of the spirit, and life is the life of the body.Western philosophy is idealistic, and only understands the function of sex, but has not yet understood the noumenon of sex. It is a mistake of Western philosophy to regard consciousness as sex.Life, Western medicine has reached the scientific level, but still do not understand the function of "Qi".Now it is popular in the United States to study acupuncture and Chinese medicine, but they still do not understand this function.Western pathology focuses on bacteria, and now viruses are also studied, which is still based on materialism.Pathology in Eastern China, regardless of whether it is bacteria or not, is based on the abstract "Qi". It is because of the decline of Qi that disease is formed.Western antibiotics often trap Qi.I often tell my friends that Western medicine can only save lives in emergencies, but cannot cure diseases. After Western medicine is cured, I will go to a famous Chinese medicine doctor for a prescription to cultivate Qi and nourish the body.Pathologically, where do bacteria come from?Why formed?There are many bacteria that do not come from outside the body. For example, white fungus is grown with bacteria, but there are more trees that grow Ganoderma lucidum on their own. Where does this bacteria come from?This is about sex and life.Once you understand it, you will know how to cultivate yourself, and adjust your sex and fate to make it right.Excessive use of thoughts hinders sex, and excessive physical labor hinders life. These two must be balanced, so each corrects life, thus "keeping harmony".Chinese Taoists and Buddhists meditate with these four words, which means "holding surplus and maintaining prosperity".The so-called "holding surplus" is like keeping a glass of water just full, maintaining the just-full level, neither adding nor subtracting, adding one drop will overflow, and subtracting one drop will not be enough.The so-called "protecting peace" means keeping peace when it is most comfortable.For example, when using money, one decides to save one hundred yuan. If ten yuan is used up, one immediately makes up for it, and one hundred yuan is still kept. This is Baotai.Therefore, the principle of meditation is to maintain harmony, to put the mind and body at peace, to be peaceful forever, to be normal, like a balance, not to be high on one side and low on the other. This is the principle of politics and the principle of life.Confucius told us that "the main road changes, everyone corrects their lives, protects Taihe, and is Lizhen." What is great auspiciousness?To protect Yamato!So after researching and reading these words of Confucius, what hexagrams are there to divination?I don’t know if I already know, Baohe Taihe, Cai Lizhen—good luck and good luck.
"The first common thing, Xianning of all nations."
These two sentences should be connected with the above, and they are the last two sentences of Qian Hexagram "Zu Ci", but Song Confucianism broke it up.These eight words are based on the principles of political philosophy. After talking about various political theories for a long time, it is not as good as the Chinese four words "the country is peaceful and the people are safe."
The Way of Heaven and the Way of Heaven——Analysis in "Tuan Ci"
"Xiang said", "Xian Ci", Xiang is a phenomenon.It is said that "Tuan Ci" was written by Duke Zhou, not Confucius.There is another saying that "Tuan Ci" was also written by Confucius. Who wrote it?This is a matter for scholars, we don't care about it, and we don't need to care about it. What we want is its spirit.
"Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement."
Everyone is too familiar with this sentence, and this is humanistic thought.The Qian Gua represents the sky, and walking means movement, which teaches us to imitate the Qian Gua.Taoist Laozi also said: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature." Human cultivation is like imitating the earth. The earth is for us to live in, grow all things for us, and provide us with food. We rely on the land for everything. Human beings are finished without land; but what we return to the land is feces and garbage, but the land doesn't care about it, and it still grows things for us to eat, use, and enjoy, so people's minds must follow the example of the land.And how can the land be able to do this?It depends on the universe and the sky, and the sky only gives out and does not take it back. Like the sun, it only emits and does not absorb anything from the earth.But the universe follows Tao. What is Tao?It is natural, and there is nothing to imitate.In short, it teaches us the spirit of being a human being, and we should follow the laws of nature, only giving, not taking back.This is the spirit of the "Tao" mentioned by Lao Tzu, which is the "Heaven's Healthy Movement".The celestial bodies are constantly in motion, always in motion, and if the sky does not move for a second, there is no need to use atomic bombs, and the entire universe will be destroyed.The second sentence is "the king is to strive for self-improvement", just like what Lao Tzu said, to be a human being should imitate the spirit of the universe and strive for self-improvement.Relying on one's own efforts requires self-improvement. It is useless to rely on others. Everything must be done by oneself. If you don't make progress for a second, you are already falling behind.
The first sentence of the above "彖ci" is to explain the hexagrams, and the following words are to explain the lines.
"Don't use Qianlong, the sun is below."
As mentioned above, using the sun as a metaphor, the concept of the past is not like the science of the modern physical world. The yang in the past is abstract. Don't use the dragon, compare it with the sun, it is still below the center of the earth, the sky is still dark, don't force it out.
"Seeing the dragon in the field, Deshipu too."
This is brought to human culture again, that is to say, the image of the second line is equal to a person's moral behavior, and it gives the interests of others to develop universally.
"To do it all day long, to repeat it, is the way."
The explanation of the third line, repetition, Tao also.This tells us the principle of cause and effect. It returns as it passes. It is the same as geophysics. It can be seen from space that something goes out and returns to its original position after a circle.Working all day is to teach us to be proud, and we have to be very careful when we are on stage, because there are repetitions, there will be frustration when there is success, there will be resignation when there is a stage, there will be disadvantages when there is good, and it will be repeated again and again. The law of life is inevitable and cannot be escaped. You think you have punished people, but there must be disadvantages for you.
"If you jump into the abyss, you will enter without blame."
The line of the four lines is to tell us that we can go one step further and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Flying dragons are in the sky, and adults make them."
"Zao" pronounces the sound of "Zhizao" and Fanqie, and its meaning is similar to that of practice, which means that when a person reaches this stage, he must "create" this state.
"Kanglong has regrets, and it won't last long."
这个“亢龙有悔”的爻辞这里解释说，凡事不可求满，满了以后不会长久，所以一切事情要留点遗憾、留点缺陷，并没有错，这一点缺陷都弥补完了，也就完蛋了，所以盈不可久也。中国政治的原则“忧患兴邦”，一个国家遇到艰难，往往是兴起的时代，是好的开始，一路旺盛，像欧洲的罗马，我国的唐代，到了鼎盛的时候就完了。
“用九，天德不可为首也。”
老子就是这个思想，用九就是天道，人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然，大地生长万物给我们，没有要求拿回什么，利息都不要，只有布施，所以用九的道理，在效法天地之德，不要自己创造什么，而且也创造不了。看历史，一部《二十四史》，谁作过结论？宇宙就是这样，没有结论的，天德不可为首，也没有开始，人类历史也是这个道理，永远在演变中。
的《彖辞》、爻辞、《彖辞》，都是以天地法则的观念，拉到人事上来讲，就是《周易》的精神，也是中国文化精神的开始。至于它的应用，则不在《周易》上，而散置于外，保留在道家的《连山》、《归藏易》中。
《文言》——人文的思想体系
现在象数方面暂讲到这里为止，再继续讲易理。前面说过了乾卦的卦辞、爻辞、《彖辞》和《彖辞》，有三个不同点：第一是乾卦构成了文化思想的卦辞和爻辞的观念；第二是《彖辞》，是对乾卦卦辞和爻辞的解释，由这一段解释看出来，孔子把原来科学的东西，变成人文文化的哲学思想；第三《彖辞》也是把科学的东西变成人文文化的哲学思想，但是连带以天文太阳系统的现象作为象征，以星象来说明道理。可见代表中国文化的文化，在上古起码经过五百年一变。这五百年当中，对这套思想法则的演变，可见每一时代思想，每一法则都在演变，没有办法固定停留。古人的演变还比现代少，现代的演变更大，过去三百年当中，出了五十万部书，现在是三年当中出五十万部书，这不能说对文化思想没有影响，这就说明文化思想在演变。
现在看到的《文言》，据说是孔子作的，这是孔子研究“乾”、“坤”两卦的心得报告，不是小孩子念书“白话”、“文言”的文言。这里所谓的“文言”，是现代所谓的“思想体系”，变成文字，谓之文言。在晋朝以前，《文言》并不放在乾卦的内容之中，而是放在《系辞》当中，是晋代王弼将《文言》放在乾卦中，以下我们开始研究《文言》的本文。
尽善尽美的人生
“元者，善之长也。亨者，嘉之会也。利者，义之和也。贞者，事之
干也。 "
这是白话文，很简单，我们都看得清楚，这是孔子研究以后，对于文王所作乾卦的卦辞“元、亨、利、贞”四个字的内涵所包括意义的解释。当时对于周文王所作这四个字的乾卦卦辞，究竟是科学的还是哲学的？人们不知道。前面我们了解，《彖辞》属于科学的，《彖辞》偏重于人文思想。《彖辞》和（辞》是同一时代产生或作于两个不同的时代？也是问题。现在孔子在《文言》中对“元、亨、利、贞”四个字的解释，完全纳入人文思想的范围中，对于宇宙物理科学方面都不管，这也就是儒家思想的开始。他对于“元”字，强调善的，善的思想，善的行为，一切好的一面的成长，才够得上所谓元，这是代表万物的开始，但这是好的一面的开始，叫作“元”。亨则是好的集合，嘉是良好的意思，良好的很多因素集合起来，成为好的集合，才够为亨。利则要达到和的利，和在现代的观念是和平，怎样才能和平？人与人之间、人与物之间能相和吗？要恰到好处的相和，最适宜的和，才能得到真正的利。假使我有利，你没有利，乃至损害到你，而你得了利，一定会损害到他，这种有损另外一人的利，并不是利的目的，也不是利的定义；这里的利，是两利，彼此间都有利，才够得上利。至于贞，则是一件事物的中心，一些团体中有干事，这个职务名称，就是从这里来的，核干，中心就是贞。
“君子体仁足以长人，嘉会足以合体，利物足以和义，贞国足以干事。
君子行此四德者，故曰：乾，元、亨、利、贞。 "
这里再度引申一下，发挥上面的四点，这也就是儒家思想，孔子讲的人文文化教育的目的。一个人受了教育以后，要具备元、亨、利、贞四个字，才够得上作为一个人，亦即要养成“怀仁足以长人”。自己的胸襟，内在爱人，才能够领导别人。“嘉会足以合礼”，一切的嘉会，人与人之间相处得很好，才能合礼。礼即是中国文化《礼记》中所标榜的社会，亦即是今日我们所标榜的康和利乐的社会，才能实现。“利物足以和义”，儒家思想中有“济人利物”的话，“物”字不只是指动物、植物、矿物，在古代的“物”包罗很广，等于现代语“这个东西”的“东西”，是一个抽象名词。“利物足以和义”的利物，意思是我们人类应该利物、用物，而不被物所用。现代西方来的文化，人都被物所左右了。“贞固足以干事”，养成内在坚贞，意志坚定，然后可以做事。“君子行此四德者，故曰：乾，元、亨、利、贞。”这是孔子的结论。
孔子研究乾卦，到这里完全拉到人文思想这方面来了，启发了后来的唐宋之后一般儒家研究的路线，没有走往象数方面去，没有向科学方面走了。
下面的解释亦是在人文文化方面，但有所不同，我们也可以由此认识儒家、认识孔孟思想。
特立独行——默默无闻的潜龙
“初九曰'潜龙勿用'，何谓也？子曰：龙德而隐者也，不易乎世，
不成乎名，遁世无闷，不见是而无门，乐则行之，优则速之，确乎其不
可拔，潜龙也。 "
初九爻的爻辞说“潜龙勿用”是说的什么呢？前面已经有了两个解释，现在孔子解释，龙的精神是看不到的，不会完全给人看见的，一个人如道家老子说的功成名遂身退。帮忙了人家，人家还不知是谁帮了忙，就是“龙德而隐”的道理。一个人做到社会外界环境尽管变，自己不易乎世，不受外界变的影响，自己有坚定独特的思想，也不要求在外面社会上成名（孔子、老子、庄子都走这条路线），不成乎名。当这个世界不能有好的时候，自己隐退了，不求表现，亦不求人知，默默无闻，而不烦闷，真的快活、乐观，不让忧烦到心中来，更重要的是这种精神能坚定不移，确乎其不可拔，毫不动摇，这就是初九爻的潜龙。现在经过孔子这一解释，“潜龙勿用”的勿字下定义了，这勿字是表示原来有无比的价值，并不是不能用，亦非不可用，而是自我的不去用。孔子的一生，是做到了“潜龙勿用”的精神。
领导者的修养与风范
“九二曰'见龙在田，利见大人'，何谓也？子曰：龙德而正中者也，
庸言之信，庸行之谨，闲邪存其诚，善世而不伐，德博而化。易曰：见龙
在田，利见大人，君德也。 "
孔子对九二爻的解释，是讲一个领导人的风格德性（当然所谓领导人，不只是最高的领导人，一个小单位的主管乃至一个家长，都是领导人），有如龙的德性，是至中至正。人要达到至中至正，先要养成胸襟的伟大。以西方哲学而言，要绝对客观，平常的话都要讲信，平常的行为都要小心，要防止自己产生歪曲的思想和不正确的观念，随时存心诚恳，对于世界有了贡献，乃至挽救了时代社会，自己并不骄傲，并不表功，不认为自己了不起，有很厚的道德，又能普遍地感化别人，这是九二爻爻辞的意思，这是领导人的修养标准。这里孔子把九二爻的爻辞完全解释成人文思想的修养，要做一个领导人，便要中正、存诚、信言、谨行，功在天下也不傲慢，能够普爱天下人，这就是九二爻的意思。
知至至之知终终之
“九三曰'君子终日乾乾，夕惕若，厉无咎'，何谓也？子曰：君子
进德修业，忠信，所以进德也，修辞立其诚，所以居业也。知至至之，可
与几也。知终终之，可与存义也。是故居上位而不骄，在下位而不忧，故
乾乾因其时而惕，虽危无咎矣。 "
这里孔子解释乾卦第三爻的爻辞，可作为每个人做人做事做学问的标准。进德的意义，这要注意，看到秦汉以上的书中的德宇、道字，不要拿后世“道德”的观念连起来用。这里的“德”字，虽然有后世道德的观念，但在五经中“道德”两字连在一起的很少。古书中的德字是指行为，多半是代表“成果”。进德就是说求进步，修业则包括了学问、技能。孔子研究第三爻的结果，认为是指一个人欲如何进德修业，都要这样战战兢兢的小心。他并解释，“忠信，所进德也。”什么是“进德”？在孔子人文文化的思想中，人的修养，要做到“忠信”这两点。所谓“忠”，就是前面所说的“闲邪存其诚”。古代的“忠”字，不要用唐以后一定要杀了头，才算忠臣的“忠”字观念来注解。古代对于“忠”字的解释，是对人对事没有不尽心的为忠。言而有信，信自己，信别人为信，这是进德。至于修业，要修辞立其诚，所以居业者也。后世将文章写好称作修辞，文学院有“修辞学”的课程，研究怎样把文章写得美，古人称推敲。中的修辞，假如也是这个意思，那么好了，古人教人修业，只要把文章写得美就行了，当然绝对不是如此。上的修辞所含的意义，包括了言语、文字和行为，要和辞章一样。古代“辞章”的观念，并不是限于白纸黑字的文字著作，而包括了待人、处世、做事乃至于都市建筑的设计，都是修辞。所以“修辞立其诚”，就是说言谈举止方面，做人要诚恳，这是居业的条件，无论做任何事业，做官也好，做工程师也好，乃至当清道夫也好，讲话要得体，风格很够，本位站得住，这就是修业，这是孔子对进德修业的解释。
这还不算，下面他继续发挥：“知至至之，可与几也，知终终之，可与存义也。是故居上位而不骄，在下位而不忧，故乾乾因其时而惕，虽危无咎矣。”这可难了，这也是精义所在。这里是说，人最高的智慧要做到对自己、对人、对事，知道机会到了，要把握机会，应该做的就做。看历史就知道，中国历史上有几个人变法，第一个是春秋时的商鞅变法，还有一个是宋代的王安石变法。秦以前原来是公田制度，商鞅变法，一变而为私有财产制，结果商鞅自己弄到被五马分尸。但是他的办法好不好呢？好得很，自商鞅变法，秦汉以后，因为私有财产制，产生了最古老的私有思想，社会繁荣富足。到了宋朝王安石，也想走变法的路子，最后又失败了。但王安石的所谓新法到底好不好呢？后世评论他是了不起的大政治家，但他不能“知至至之”，那个时代的趋势还没有到，他虽有高度的思想，高度的办法，可是没有用处，所以要“知至至之”，时机到了便做，则刚刚好，就可与几也。什么是“几”？就是知机，未卜先知，就是知这个几？等于看电视，手刚搭上开关，在即开未开之间，那一刹那就是几，要有这样恰到毫颠的高度智慧，看准了，时间到了，应该做就做，对了便可改变历史。“知终终之”，就是看见这件事，应该下台的，就“下次再见，谢谢！”立即下台，永远留一个非常好的印象在那里。但这个修养很难做到的，孔子、老子都是这个思想。老子说的“功成、名遂、身退”，就是知终终之。但“知终”的“知”很难，如懂了这个道理则“居上位而不骄”，虽然坐在最上的位置，也不觉得有什么可骄傲的，这如同上楼下楼一样，没有永远在楼上不下来的；那么在下位也无忧，因为时代不属于自己的，所以人生随时随地要了解自己。所谓乾乾因其时而惕，要认识自己，时间机会属于自己就玩一下，要知道玩得好，下来也舒服，这样纵或有危险，但不至出毛病。从这里就看到孔子的思想就是一个“我”，人生如何去安排我，每一个人把自己的自我安排对了，整个大我也安排对了，有许多事往往是因为这个“我”安排得不好，把整个事情砸烂了。
, is a pattern painting, the top is connected for reason, the bottom is connected for Jia, and the bottom is connected for Shen, and the word Shen is displayed next to it, and the sign of the sky is God, and the god is connected up and down, so the ghost characters also go from the field to the top. No, if you go down, you will become a ghost, and if you add two hairs later, you will become a ghost.Lightning and thunder come from the field, water flows from the sky, thunder strikes from the ground, and the thunder descends to become electricity.This is the origin of the structure of Chinese characters. Every character has a reason, and it is not as hard to put together as ABCD.From the explanation above, we know that the word Tian here represents the ground, that is, the earth. Don’t use the modern concept to think that Tian is just a field for growing rice, which is wrong.The hexagram of seeing the dragon in the field is that the sun has just risen from the ground in the morning, and the light is shining through. At this time, it is "beneficial to see adults".If you find this hexagram, the divination person says, if you go to see the chairman of the board or some senior officials for advice, you will definitely succeed.An adult is not a very big person. In ancient times, an adult and a villain were relative names, just like the name "noble person", which did not necessarily refer to a very big noble official.If someone falls, a scavenger happens to see him and pick him up and send him to the hospital. This scavenger is the nobleman of the faller.Whether the noble is expensive or not is that when help is just needed in time and space, it is the noble who helps.
dry all day long
"Nine three, a gentleman works all day long, and is vigilant at night, without blame."
The third line is the upper line of the inner hexagram. If only the three-drawing hexagram is used, it has reached its peak.If you learn it, you don’t need to divination. There are sixty-four hexagrams. None of the hexagrams is completely good or completely bad. Every hexagram has good and bad, and bad and good.Retire modestly, give in modestly, take advantage of others and don’t want it for yourself. This is of course good. The six lines are all auspicious. This is the principle of the universe and the principle of life.Now the third line of the Qian hexagram, the problem is coming. In terms of life history, young people are still studying in college and have not yet received a Ph.D.After getting the diploma and stepping into the society, it is the ninety-two line, seeing the dragon in the field, and seeing the adults.Find a job with a diploma, and then have a job, status, and prestige, which is the third line.In terms of life age, the first line is from ten to twenty years old, the second line is from twenty to thirty years old, and the third line is from thirty to middle age. At this time, it should be "a gentleman works all day long, If you are vigilant at night, there is no blame for you."Let's explain some words first. We have already explained Qian Gua, which is the outline and the beginning of the universe, just like the duty of life.A gentleman works all day long, which means that a person must maintain his duty and normalcy all day long, and this will always be the case; not only that, but at night, he must be vigilant against himself, not to relax, just as careful as during the day.That is to say, when you are proud of your work in middle age, you must be careful when you are doing things anytime and anywhere, and you can't even relax in your old age. The ideas of "University" and "Doctrine of the Mean" all come from here, which is the so-called "Ti Ruo". "Strength" refers to the concentration and concentration of the spirit. If you hone yourself, there will be nothing wrong with it.Whether such a hexagram is good or not, if you go to the street for divination, the fortune teller will say it is very good.But be careful, because fate still has many crises, and if you are not careful, you will have problems anytime, anywhere, and you must have such strict requirements on yourself, so that you will not go wrong.Everything depends on oneself, not on others, nor on the environment.When people are proud, they are afraid of forgetting their form, and this hexagram is useful at this time.
or jump in the abyss
"September 4th, or jumped into the abyss, there is no blame."
When it comes to the fourth line, it's wonderful.From the perspective of the whole hexagram, the inner and outer hexagrams are clearly divided into two sections, which means that a dragon or a fish jumped out of the deep water, there is no fault, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is about to come out.But pay attention to the word "or" in "or jump in the deep", this line is really good, and it's up to me.For example, if a person has reached the peak of his career, it is good to go one step further, to take a step, or not to take the leap.Nine Fourth is the first line of the outer hexagram, corresponding to the first line of the inner hexagram, and has incomparable value.
flying dragon in the sky
"Ninth Five-Year, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adults."
Most people call the emperor the "Ninth Five-Year Lord", thinking that it is the "Ninth Five-Year Plan".It should be noted that the ninety-five statue representing the emperor is a symbol expressed according to the yang number in the number. To be supreme and upright does not only refer to the ninety-five lines here.The fifth line of the Qian hexagram is different from the fourth line. At this time, the flying dragon is in the sky, flying in the air like a dragon.After the whole research is over, there are not many hexagrams and lines of Mr. Lijian. What kind of Mr. Lijian are you seeing here?Assuming that we take Han Gaozu as an example, when he defeated Xiang Yu and started his own business, it was Feilong who was in the sky, and he wanted to benefit from an adult. Who is this adult?It means that all the people he met were good people and helpful people. Looking at the life of Han Gaozu, it was just a hexagram. At first, it was said that he was a pavilion chief, drinking and drinking all day long. Useful, later when Feilong was in the sky and Li saw adults, all the people he met were good people, everyone was useful, everyone said he was good, and they all helped him.
Kanglong has regrets
At the last line of each hexagram, the yang line is called "Shang Jiu", the yin line is called "Shang Liu", the first line of each hexagram is "Chu", and the last sixth line is "Shang".The Ninth Five-Year Plan is the middle line in the external hexagrams. People take the middle line, and things take the middle line. It is not at the apex, and it is not at the top, so tell us the middle line.Fortune-telling depends on whether you are lucky or not, if you get it at the right time, if you get it, if you get it, you will go everywhere, if you don't get it, you will be everywhere.This middle can also be read as the sound of "Zhong", such as hitting a target, that's right.When you reach the upper nine, you will be repentant, and the arrogant are high, extremely high, high without status, expensive without people.In Chinese philosophy, the emperor called himself "lonely family" and "widowed man". When he reached the highest position, he was very lonely, and all he heard were good things. There are not many people who can talk now!" I said this is "Kanglong has regrets"!So when a person's age reaches that high position, everyone calls him old man, invites him to sit down everywhere, and this has reached Kanglong Yougui.The regret here is not the regret of regret, but the obscurity of bad luck.In other words, don't do everything to the extreme, if you do it to the top, you will be sorry, you will have regrets, and you will be guaranteed to suffer, and troubles will follow.Looking at how good Tang Xuanzong was in history, it was a miserable situation when he gave up his throne to his son.
Seeing dragons without a leader—Ji
"Use nine to see dragons without a leader, good luck."
Pay attention to the two characters "Yongjiu", there is only "Yongjiu" in the Qian hexagram, and "Yongliu" in the Kun hexagram, and these two characters do not appear in other hexagrams, there is a problem in the middle.We know that nine represents Yang Yao, and there are explanations from the ninth day to the upper ninth day, so what does it mean to use nine?Look below and see that the dragons have no leader, Kat.When the Qian hexagram comes here, it will be auspicious.How do you say this?In the relevant books studied by later generations, each has its own way of saying this sentence, and each has its own set of theories and a set of sayings.But after the research is done, it is very simple.Let me tell you a word now, using nine means not being used by nine, but that you can use nine.So which line of nine is used for nine?Neither line is the same, and any line is relevant, which is brilliant.We can only use Chinese culture and history as a representative to illustrate this matter.That is, when I talked about it before, I said that Chinese culture pays attention to Taoist hermits.The hermits of the past dynasties have an absolute relationship with the creation of the historical era at that time, but they cannot be found in the historical records. For example, who cultivated Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era?It was his father-in-law Huang Chengyan and teacher Pang De, hermits.For example, they use nine to change the era of history, but they are not affected by the environment, so they use nine.Seeing that the dragons have no leader, there is no beginning, there will never be a beginning, and there will never be an end. There will be no stage, and of course there will be no step down.The use of nine is the most brilliant, and those who use nine are not used by nine.In other words, it tells us the reason for doing things. In modern terms, it means doing things with absolute objectivity, not having nothing to do with the times, but everything to do with them. This is the way to truly lead the historical era. "The heads of the dragons" is a circle, complete, so good luck.In terms of being a human being, there is no such thing as self-exaltation.Zeng Zi also said: "Those who ask for others are afraid of others." The more you ask for others, the more you will be afraid of them. If you don't ask for it, you should use the principle of nine. With the meaning of being up for sale, with nine, I have forgotten myself.Speaking in modern language, using nine is the highest philosophical spirit in Chinese culture.Some people say that Confucianism is a political philosophy that praises the emperor. This is wrong. The thoughts of Confucianism and Taoism have always been there.
"Tuanci"——Confucius' Criticism of
"Yue Jia said", a speech.I once introduced elephant as an animal. It is said that this animal can bite off iron, so I borrowed this term.彖ci is the meaning of adjudication, affirmative words.It is said that "Tuan Ci" was also written by Confucius. From a modern point of view, "Tuan Ci" is the conclusion and criticism of Confucius' study of the sixty-four hexagrams.The traditional saying is that "Gua Ci" and "Yao Ci" were both written by King Wen. One said that "Gua Ci" was written by King Wen of Zhou, and "Yao Ci" was written by Zhou Gong, but it is difficult to determine who wrote it in terms of textual research. .
creator of the universe
"Great Qianyuan, the beginning of all things, is the unification of heaven."
Confucian research asserts that his humanistic and cultural concepts began.As we have said before, the Qian hexagrams represent, for example, the body represents the head, and the eight trigrams in Chinese medicine represent the stem as the head, Kun as the abdomen, Gen as the back, Li as the eyes, Kan as the ears, Xun as the nose, and Dui as the Mouth and so on, very reasonable.Regardless of these assertions of Confucius, he only said that the Qian Gua represents the root, function, and function of life in the universe, and that everything in the universe is created by it.As mentioned earlier, unlike Western culture, Western culture says that the universe is created by one God, one god, and one master.Chinese culture does not follow this set, but it is neither materialistic nor idealistic. This function is inexplicable, so we draw a symbol to represent it. This symbol is called Qian. It includes idealism, materialism, and God, ghosts and gods, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas have been separated from the colors of religion and metaphysics, and are scientific philosophy.How do you know that Confucius' research means that Qian Gua represents the essence of all things in the universe?Here he clearly stated that "all things begin", and the beginning of all things in the universe depends on the function of stems. This is the first concept of Qian Gua; , the entire universe is within the scope of Qian, and Qian governs the universe, so from the study of Confucius' concepts, we must also notice that he believed that the Qian Gua proposed by King Wen and Zhou Gong represented the body, root, and life of the universe. origin of.
"Clouds travel and rain, and goods flow."
That is to say, our universe is like the blowing of the wind. Why does the wind blow?Daily weather reports, this is science, but why did the cold snap rise in Siberia?How did the typhoon rise?When the typhoon first came up, I saw only a small bubble rotating and gradually expanding. This is physics, but how did this small bubble come about?To study these is the philosophy of science.Now Confucius said that the popularity of clouds, the falling of rain, thunder, lightning, and the changes of all things in the universe all depend on the function of Qian Gua. When the function is activated, there will be a phenomenon, clouds will occur, and rain will occur in a certain phenomenon. Consists of all kinds of all things.
The Jade Emperor's Six Dragons and Horses
"The big time ends, the six people complete, and the time rides the six dragons to control the sky."
This is to explain the source of time, time is man-made in science and philosophy, time is relative, there is no absolute.Western modern science only knew that the time of the universe is relative after the discovery of Einstein's theory of relativity, while Chinese Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism have long told us that time is relative, not absolute.Taoism has long said that a day and night on the moon is equivalent to a month on the earth. Now science has proved that this is indeed the case, but we believe what modern foreigners say, but we don’t believe what our ancestors said with such certainty. "The beginning of the Ming Dynasty" refers to the time. The Ming Dynasty begins in the morning and ends in the evening. "Six Hours", we Chinese used to divide the day into six stages, and the night into six stages, forming twelve hours.One hour is equal to two o'clock now, so there are six figures, and these six figures are based on the idea of drawing hexagrams as six lines, which is man-made, relative, not absolute.Maybe the time division of the sun and other planets is different from ours, but the formation of the six time in China also comes from the function of Qian Gua. "Time rides on six dragons to control the sky", the dragon is used to represent the movement of time, flying in the air like a dragon, because the dragon is invisible, but it also has the function of flying, the time is from dawn in the morning to dark at night. In this stage, it is always rotating, like six dragons connecting together, driving past the celestial body regularly.Later, in literature, religious myths said that when the Jade Emperor went on tour, there were six dragons pulling his chariot, which was also made up from this sentence.In fact, this sentence means that the composition of time in the universe, the relationship with the earth and human beings, has certain laws, and this function comes from Qian Gua.
Prosperous Baohe Taihe
"The main road changes, everyone corrects their lives, and protects Taihe, Nai Lizhen."
Here clearly tells us the origin of life, Confucianism, Taoism, various schools of thought, and the cultivation of life in Chinese culture, all come from here.Here we are told to recognize the principle of Qian, the essence of life, and if we grasp this point, we will know the changes of the main path. In correcting our lives, if we really understand this principle, we can cultivate ourselves and live forever.In Chinese culture, Taoism emphasizes two things—"sex" and "fate". Sex is the life of the spirit, and life is the life of the body.Western philosophy is idealistic, and only understands the function of sex, but has not yet understood the noumenon of sex. It is a mistake of Western philosophy to regard consciousness as sex.Life, Western medicine has reached the scientific level, but still do not understand the function of "Qi".Now it is popular in the United States to study acupuncture and Chinese medicine, but they still do not understand this function.Western pathology focuses on bacteria, and now viruses are also studied, which is still based on materialism.Pathology in Eastern China, regardless of whether it is bacteria or not, is based on the abstract "Qi". It is because of the decline of Qi that disease is formed.Western antibiotics often trap Qi.I often tell my friends that Western medicine can only save lives in emergencies, but cannot cure diseases. After Western medicine is cured, I will go to a famous Chinese medicine doctor for a prescription to cultivate Qi and nourish the body.Pathologically, where do bacteria come from?Why formed?There are many bacteria that do not come from outside the body. For example, white fungus is grown with bacteria, but there are more trees that grow Ganoderma lucidum on their own. Where does this bacteria come from?This is about sex and life.Once you understand it, you will know how to cultivate yourself, and adjust your sex and fate to make it right.Excessive use of thoughts hinders sex, and excessive physical labor hinders life. These two must be balanced, so each corrects life, thus "keeping harmony".Chinese Taoists and Buddhists meditate with these four words, which means "holding surplus and maintaining prosperity".The so-called "holding surplus" is like keeping a glass of water just full, maintaining the just-full level, neither adding nor subtracting, adding one drop will overflow, and subtracting one drop will not be enough.The so-called "protecting peace" means keeping peace when it is most comfortable.For example, when using money, one decides to save one hundred yuan. If ten yuan is used up, one immediately makes up for it, and one hundred yuan is still kept. This is Baotai.Therefore, the principle of meditation is to maintain harmony, to put the mind and body at peace, to be peaceful forever, to be normal, like a balance, not to be high on one side and low on the other. This is the principle of politics and the principle of life.Confucius told us that "the main road changes, everyone corrects their lives, protects Taihe, and is Lizhen." What is great auspiciousness?To protect Yamato!So after researching and reading these words of Confucius, what hexagrams are there to divination?I don’t know if I already know, Baohe Taihe, Cai Lizhen—good luck and good luck.
"The first common thing, Xianning of all nations."
These two sentences should be connected with the above, and they are the last two sentences of Qian Hexagram "Zu Ci", but Song Confucianism broke it up.These eight words are based on the principles of political philosophy. After talking about various political theories for a long time, it is not as good as the Chinese four words "the country is peaceful and the people are safe."
The Way of Heaven and the Way of Heaven——Analysis in "Tuan Ci"
"Xiang said", "Xian Ci", Xiang is a phenomenon.It is said that "Tuan Ci" was written by Duke Zhou, not Confucius.There is another saying that "Tuan Ci" was also written by Confucius. Who wrote it?This is a matter for scholars, we don't care about it, and we don't need to care about it. What we want is its spirit.
"Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement."
Everyone is too familiar with this sentence, and this is humanistic thought.The Qian Gua represents the sky, and walking means movement, which teaches us to imitate the Qian Gua.Taoist Laozi also said: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature." Human cultivation is like imitating the earth. The earth is for us to live in, grow all things for us, and provide us with food. We rely on the land for everything. Human beings are finished without land; but what we return to the land is feces and garbage, but the land doesn't care about it, and it still grows things for us to eat, use, and enjoy, so people's minds must follow the example of the land.And how can the land be able to do this?It depends on the universe and the sky, and the sky only gives out and does not take it back. Like the sun, it only emits and does not absorb anything from the earth.But the universe follows Tao. What is Tao?It is natural, and there is nothing to imitate.In short, it teaches us the spirit of being a human being, and we should follow the laws of nature, only giving, not taking back.This is the spirit of the "Tao" mentioned by Lao Tzu, which is the "Heaven's Healthy Movement".The celestial bodies are constantly in motion, always in motion, and if the sky does not move for a second, there is no need to use atomic bombs, and the entire universe will be destroyed.The second sentence is "the king is to strive for self-improvement", just like what Lao Tzu said, to be a human being should imitate the spirit of the universe and strive for self-improvement.Relying on one's own efforts requires self-improvement. It is useless to rely on others. Everything must be done by oneself. If you don't make progress for a second, you are already falling behind.
The first sentence of the above "彖ci" is to explain the hexagrams, and the following words are to explain the lines.
"Don't use Qianlong, the sun is below."
As mentioned above, using the sun as a metaphor, the concept of the past is not like the science of the modern physical world. The yang in the past is abstract. Don't use the dragon, compare it with the sun, it is still below the center of the earth, the sky is still dark, don't force it out.
"Seeing the dragon in the field, Deshipu too."
This is brought to human culture again, that is to say, the image of the second line is equal to a person's moral behavior, and it gives the interests of others to develop universally.
"To do it all day long, to repeat it, is the way."
The explanation of the third line, repetition, Tao also.This tells us the principle of cause and effect. It returns as it passes. It is the same as geophysics. It can be seen from space that something goes out and returns to its original position after a circle.Working all day is to teach us to be proud, and we have to be very careful when we are on stage, because there are repetitions, there will be frustration when there is success, there will be resignation when there is a stage, there will be disadvantages when there is good, and it will be repeated again and again. The law of life is inevitable and cannot be escaped. You think you have punished people, but there must be disadvantages for you.
"If you jump into the abyss, you will enter without blame."
The line of the four lines is to tell us that we can go one step further and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Flying dragons are in the sky, and adults make them."
"Zao" pronounces the sound of "Zhizao" and Fanqie, and its meaning is similar to that of practice, which means that when a person reaches this stage, he must "create" this state.
"Kanglong has regrets, and it won't last long."
这个“亢龙有悔”的爻辞这里解释说，凡事不可求满，满了以后不会长久，所以一切事情要留点遗憾、留点缺陷，并没有错，这一点缺陷都弥补完了，也就完蛋了，所以盈不可久也。中国政治的原则“忧患兴邦”，一个国家遇到艰难，往往是兴起的时代，是好的开始，一路旺盛，像欧洲的罗马，我国的唐代，到了鼎盛的时候就完了。
“用九，天德不可为首也。”
老子就是这个思想，用九就是天道，人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然，大地生长万物给我们，没有要求拿回什么，利息都不要，只有布施，所以用九的道理，在效法天地之德，不要自己创造什么，而且也创造不了。看历史，一部《二十四史》，谁作过结论？宇宙就是这样，没有结论的，天德不可为首，也没有开始，人类历史也是这个道理，永远在演变中。
的《彖辞》、爻辞、《彖辞》，都是以天地法则的观念，拉到人事上来讲，就是《周易》的精神，也是中国文化精神的开始。至于它的应用，则不在《周易》上，而散置于外，保留在道家的《连山》、《归藏易》中。
《文言》——人文的思想体系
现在象数方面暂讲到这里为止，再继续讲易理。前面说过了乾卦的卦辞、爻辞、《彖辞》和《彖辞》，有三个不同点：第一是乾卦构成了文化思想的卦辞和爻辞的观念；第二是《彖辞》，是对乾卦卦辞和爻辞的解释，由这一段解释看出来，孔子把原来科学的东西，变成人文文化的哲学思想；第三《彖辞》也是把科学的东西变成人文文化的哲学思想，但是连带以天文太阳系统的现象作为象征，以星象来说明道理。可见代表中国文化的文化，在上古起码经过五百年一变。这五百年当中，对这套思想法则的演变，可见每一时代思想，每一法则都在演变，没有办法固定停留。古人的演变还比现代少，现代的演变更大，过去三百年当中，出了五十万部书，现在是三年当中出五十万部书，这不能说对文化思想没有影响，这就说明文化思想在演变。
现在看到的《文言》，据说是孔子作的，这是孔子研究“乾”、“坤”两卦的心得报告，不是小孩子念书“白话”、“文言”的文言。这里所谓的“文言”，是现代所谓的“思想体系”，变成文字，谓之文言。在晋朝以前，《文言》并不放在乾卦的内容之中，而是放在《系辞》当中，是晋代王弼将《文言》放在乾卦中，以下我们开始研究《文言》的本文。
尽善尽美的人生
“元者，善之长也。亨者，嘉之会也。利者，义之和也。贞者，事之
干也。 "
这是白话文，很简单，我们都看得清楚，这是孔子研究以后，对于文王所作乾卦的卦辞“元、亨、利、贞”四个字的内涵所包括意义的解释。当时对于周文王所作这四个字的乾卦卦辞，究竟是科学的还是哲学的？人们不知道。前面我们了解，《彖辞》属于科学的，《彖辞》偏重于人文思想。《彖辞》和（辞》是同一时代产生或作于两个不同的时代？也是问题。现在孔子在《文言》中对“元、亨、利、贞”四个字的解释，完全纳入人文思想的范围中，对于宇宙物理科学方面都不管，这也就是儒家思想的开始。他对于“元”字，强调善的，善的思想，善的行为，一切好的一面的成长，才够得上所谓元，这是代表万物的开始，但这是好的一面的开始，叫作“元”。亨则是好的集合，嘉是良好的意思，良好的很多因素集合起来，成为好的集合，才够为亨。利则要达到和的利，和在现代的观念是和平，怎样才能和平？人与人之间、人与物之间能相和吗？要恰到好处的相和，最适宜的和，才能得到真正的利。假使我有利，你没有利，乃至损害到你，而你得了利，一定会损害到他，这种有损另外一人的利，并不是利的目的，也不是利的定义；这里的利，是两利，彼此间都有利，才够得上利。至于贞，则是一件事物的中心，一些团体中有干事，这个职务名称，就是从这里来的，核干，中心就是贞。
“君子体仁足以长人，嘉会足以合体，利物足以和义，贞国足以干事。
君子行此四德者，故曰：乾，元、亨、利、贞。 "
这里再度引申一下，发挥上面的四点，这也就是儒家思想，孔子讲的人文文化教育的目的。一个人受了教育以后，要具备元、亨、利、贞四个字，才够得上作为一个人，亦即要养成“怀仁足以长人”。自己的胸襟，内在爱人，才能够领导别人。“嘉会足以合礼”，一切的嘉会，人与人之间相处得很好，才能合礼。礼即是中国文化《礼记》中所标榜的社会，亦即是今日我们所标榜的康和利乐的社会，才能实现。“利物足以和义”，儒家思想中有“济人利物”的话，“物”字不只是指动物、植物、矿物，在古代的“物”包罗很广，等于现代语“这个东西”的“东西”，是一个抽象名词。“利物足以和义”的利物，意思是我们人类应该利物、用物，而不被物所用。现代西方来的文化，人都被物所左右了。“贞固足以干事”，养成内在坚贞，意志坚定，然后可以做事。“君子行此四德者，故曰：乾，元、亨、利、贞。”这是孔子的结论。
孔子研究乾卦，到这里完全拉到人文思想这方面来了，启发了后来的唐宋之后一般儒家研究的路线，没有走往象数方面去，没有向科学方面走了。
下面的解释亦是在人文文化方面，但有所不同，我们也可以由此认识儒家、认识孔孟思想。
特立独行——默默无闻的潜龙
“初九曰'潜龙勿用'，何谓也？子曰：龙德而隐者也，不易乎世，
不成乎名，遁世无闷，不见是而无门，乐则行之，优则速之，确乎其不
可拔，潜龙也。 "
初九爻的爻辞说“潜龙勿用”是说的什么呢？前面已经有了两个解释，现在孔子解释，龙的精神是看不到的，不会完全给人看见的，一个人如道家老子说的功成名遂身退。帮忙了人家，人家还不知是谁帮了忙，就是“龙德而隐”的道理。一个人做到社会外界环境尽管变，自己不易乎世，不受外界变的影响，自己有坚定独特的思想，也不要求在外面社会上成名（孔子、老子、庄子都走这条路线），不成乎名。当这个世界不能有好的时候，自己隐退了，不求表现，亦不求人知，默默无闻，而不烦闷，真的快活、乐观，不让忧烦到心中来，更重要的是这种精神能坚定不移，确乎其不可拔，毫不动摇，这就是初九爻的潜龙。现在经过孔子这一解释，“潜龙勿用”的勿字下定义了，这勿字是表示原来有无比的价值，并不是不能用，亦非不可用，而是自我的不去用。孔子的一生，是做到了“潜龙勿用”的精神。
领导者的修养与风范
“九二曰'见龙在田，利见大人'，何谓也？子曰：龙德而正中者也，
庸言之信，庸行之谨，闲邪存其诚，善世而不伐，德博而化。易曰：见龙
在田，利见大人，君德也。 "
孔子对九二爻的解释，是讲一个领导人的风格德性（当然所谓领导人，不只是最高的领导人，一个小单位的主管乃至一个家长，都是领导人），有如龙的德性，是至中至正。人要达到至中至正，先要养成胸襟的伟大。以西方哲学而言，要绝对客观，平常的话都要讲信，平常的行为都要小心，要防止自己产生歪曲的思想和不正确的观念，随时存心诚恳，对于世界有了贡献，乃至挽救了时代社会，自己并不骄傲，并不表功，不认为自己了不起，有很厚的道德，又能普遍地感化别人，这是九二爻爻辞的意思，这是领导人的修养标准。这里孔子把九二爻的爻辞完全解释成人文思想的修养，要做一个领导人，便要中正、存诚、信言、谨行，功在天下也不傲慢，能够普爱天下人，这就是九二爻的意思。
知至至之知终终之
“九三曰'君子终日乾乾，夕惕若，厉无咎'，何谓也？子曰：君子
进德修业，忠信，所以进德也，修辞立其诚，所以居业也。知至至之，可
与几也。知终终之，可与存义也。是故居上位而不骄，在下位而不忧，故
乾乾因其时而惕，虽危无咎矣。 "
这里孔子解释乾卦第三爻的爻辞，可作为每个人做人做事做学问的标准。进德的意义，这要注意，看到秦汉以上的书中的德宇、道字，不要拿后世“道德”的观念连起来用。这里的“德”字，虽然有后世道德的观念，但在五经中“道德”两字连在一起的很少。古书中的德字是指行为，多半是代表“成果”。进德就是说求进步，修业则包括了学问、技能。孔子研究第三爻的结果，认为是指一个人欲如何进德修业，都要这样战战兢兢的小心。他并解释，“忠信，所进德也。”什么是“进德”？在孔子人文文化的思想中，人的修养，要做到“忠信”这两点。所谓“忠”，就是前面所说的“闲邪存其诚”。古代的“忠”字，不要用唐以后一定要杀了头，才算忠臣的“忠”字观念来注解。古代对于“忠”字的解释，是对人对事没有不尽心的为忠。言而有信，信自己，信别人为信，这是进德。至于修业，要修辞立其诚，所以居业者也。后世将文章写好称作修辞，文学院有“修辞学”的课程，研究怎样把文章写得美，古人称推敲。中的修辞，假如也是这个意思，那么好了，古人教人修业，只要把文章写得美就行了，当然绝对不是如此。上的修辞所含的意义，包括了言语、文字和行为，要和辞章一样。古代“辞章”的观念，并不是限于白纸黑字的文字著作，而包括了待人、处世、做事乃至于都市建筑的设计，都是修辞。所以“修辞立其诚”，就是说言谈举止方面，做人要诚恳，这是居业的条件，无论做任何事业，做官也好，做工程师也好，乃至当清道夫也好，讲话要得体，风格很够，本位站得住，这就是修业，这是孔子对进德修业的解释。
这还不算，下面他继续发挥：“知至至之，可与几也，知终终之，可与存义也。是故居上位而不骄，在下位而不忧，故乾乾因其时而惕，虽危无咎矣。”这可难了，这也是精义所在。这里是说，人最高的智慧要做到对自己、对人、对事，知道机会到了，要把握机会，应该做的就做。看历史就知道，中国历史上有几个人变法，第一个是春秋时的商鞅变法，还有一个是宋代的王安石变法。秦以前原来是公田制度，商鞅变法，一变而为私有财产制，结果商鞅自己弄到被五马分尸。但是他的办法好不好呢？好得很，自商鞅变法，秦汉以后，因为私有财产制，产生了最古老的私有思想，社会繁荣富足。到了宋朝王安石，也想走变法的路子，最后又失败了。但王安石的所谓新法到底好不好呢？后世评论他是了不起的大政治家，但他不能“知至至之”，那个时代的趋势还没有到，他虽有高度的思想，高度的办法，可是没有用处，所以要“知至至之”，时机到了便做，则刚刚好，就可与几也。什么是“几”？就是知机，未卜先知，就是知这个几？等于看电视，手刚搭上开关，在即开未开之间，那一刹那就是几，要有这样恰到毫颠的高度智慧，看准了，时间到了，应该做就做，对了便可改变历史。“知终终之”，就是看见这件事，应该下台的，就“下次再见，谢谢！”立即下台，永远留一个非常好的印象在那里。但这个修养很难做到的，孔子、老子都是这个思想。老子说的“功成、名遂、身退”，就是知终终之。但“知终”的“知”很难，如懂了这个道理则“居上位而不骄”，虽然坐在最上的位置，也不觉得有什么可骄傲的，这如同上楼下楼一样，没有永远在楼上不下来的；那么在下位也无忧，因为时代不属于自己的，所以人生随时随地要了解自己。所谓乾乾因其时而惕，要认识自己，时间机会属于自己就玩一下，要知道玩得好，下来也舒服，这样纵或有危险，但不至出毛病。从这里就看到孔子的思想就是一个“我”，人生如何去安排我，每一个人把自己的自我安排对了，整个大我也安排对了，有许多事往往是因为这个“我”安排得不好，把整个事情砸烂了。
