Chapter 10 Part IX

From Meng to Shi, the first major turmoil in the human world "When things are born, they must be enlightened, so they are enlightened by receiving them. Those who are enlightened are also enlightened, and things are immature." That's why people don't want to read ancient Chinese, especially young people nowadays, who can't understand and find it annoying.It is said here that since there are all things, like the image of the Tun character, the grass roots are exposed, and the enlightenment must begin when the head is exposed, so after the Tun hexagram, what bears below is the Meng hexagram.What is mon? "The ignorant is ignorant", from the point of view of modern vernacular, does this mean that there is no explanation?However, people in ancient China studied characters first when they read books. In the ancient rites, one had to go to primary school first. The primary school at that time was not a modern primary school. The ancient primary school included the meaning of knowing characters first. The characters are different, not from the pinyin of the letters, but from the meaning. Here, the upper Mongolian character is the name of the hexagram, and the lower Mongolian character is the explanation. It means that all things are just sprouting, that is, all things are still in the naive stage, so it is said " The immaturity of things.” After the seeds are planted, they have just germinated, and they are still in the naive stage.

"Immature things must be nurtured, so they are received and needed, and those who need them are the way to eat." In the development of human society, when everything is in its infancy, it must be nurtured. We study Chinese history, and the world was opened up. Before the Great Yu was still in the flood stage, and the agricultural society could not be established. When the Great Yu built water conservancy, the world was divided into Kyushu. At this time It's the raising stage. "Children must be raised."It is the evolution of society, and it pays attention to nurturing, so the hexagram of Meng is the hexagram of need.What is most needed for parenting in human society?We need to be full first, and the same is true for all things, ants, dogs, etc. They all need to be full, and this plays a big role in the middle. The development of society and human beings, as long as there is life, we must live. The first thing in life The condition is to be full first, "the way of eating is also for those who need it".This is the need to hexagram.

"There must be a lawsuit for eating and drinking, so accept it as a lawsuit." The society has developed to this point. People need to live in order to survive. The first thing in life is food. I want to eat, you want to eat, and he also wants to eat. If I eat today, I am afraid that I will starve tomorrow. I hope you eat less , I took it back to prepare to eat tomorrow, so the selfishness came out, and the struggle happened, so the need hexagram is followed by the lawsuit hexagram. "There must be many lawsuits, so accept it as a teacher, and there will be many teachers."

Below the litigation hexagram is the teacher hexagram.The hexagram of Shi represents the masses in itself, and the modern term is the masses in the party and government, and the army in the military.When human society develops to the point of selfishness and the need for possession, there will be struggles. Once there are struggles, they will naturally unite into a front. Two viewpoints with different positions will be opposed, and those with the same position will unite into one group. The mass movement will come. It is the hexagram of the teacher, but the teacher is not the teacher of the teacher. The so-called sending out a teacher in ancient times means sending troops to fight, that is, the masses.

Prosperity between Bithai "Everyone must be compared, so accept it and compare it, and the one who compares it also compares." After the masses have risen, there must be affinity and comparison. "Bi" means queuing up, the same as yourself, and following. The ancient Chinese word "Bi" means that one person walks in front and one person follows behind.If the two walk in opposite directions, it is north, that is, back, facing each other.If there are people, there must be comparisons. Different opinions have different interests. If the opinions are the same and the interests are the same, they will be united together. Here we go.

"There must be animals in comparison, so we accept small animals." Confucius believed that there is nothing wrong with divergent opinions in divination. If there is a crowd, everyone is united with one heart and one mind, and there must be livestock and savings. That is, everyone seeks common interests. Although it is selfish, the greatest selfishness is public, so Have livestock and have savings.For example, the current insurance system is the best system for social security, and the original origin of this system is that after the pirates robbed, some of the property was saved to prepare for the living expenses of the survivors of the partners who were killed.Later, it gradually developed into the current insurance system.Some things are sometimes bad but produce good results, and sometimes good results can also produce bad results. This depends on ideological and cultural issues, and it is the same for the Xiaohu Gua in the future.

"Being an animal is polite, so accept it and walk on it." Below the Xiaohu hexagram is the Lu hexagram. As a noun, Lu is shoes, and as a verb, it means to walk, which is to go.Confucius said here that a society has reached material savings and prosperity, and now it is a progressive society. After material civilization is rich, there must be order and order, and there is no order.For example, law, education, military affairs, and culture have all risen. From this, we can also see the principle of Guanzi: "If you are in a warehouse, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."After the progress of material civilization, there are economic functions and selfishness. At this time, culture must be produced and laws must be produced. There must be a path that should be followed for "accepting the law as it is", so in terms of legal philosophy, is the law absolutely right?uncertain.Due to differences in time and space, the principles of law are relative; what is the best truth in this time and space will become a very bad thing in another era or society.So why does everyone admit that the law is right?This is the philosophical question of the law, which is what is said here, "Being an animal is polite, so it is obeyed."In every situation, there must be a way for everyone to walk, and an order for everyone to observe and enforce.

"If you walk on your feet, you will be peaceful, and then you will be safe. Therefore, if you accept it, you will be peaceful." Below the Lu hexagram is the Tai hexagram. This is the development of society, the development of politics, a political system, and a road that everyone walks comfortably. , also called freedom and equality, everyone is equal, so under the hexagram Lu is the hexagram Tai, and the hexagram Tai is unobstructed, there is no hindrance, no problem. No - the second low tide of human civilization "Things cannot be connected in the end, so accept it."

But here comes the problem. There are two old sayings in China: "A person is not happy for a thousand days, and a flower is not red for a hundred days." It never fades for a hundred days.Our ancients see history so well, the best time is the beginning of the bad, so under the Tai hexagram, there is the whether or not hexagram.We look at the Han and Tang dynasties in Chinese history, and the Roman era in Western history. When they were at their peak, they declined.The same is true for a family. When it is prosperous, the sons and daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law become arrogant.This is not only true of people, but also of history and social development. If you understand life, that’s all.Eat when you are hungry, feel bloated after eating, defecate when you are bloated, feel hungry again after passing a bowel movement, and eat again, that’s all. Everything is a cycle.

Dou Ren Da You——A higher level of human civilization "Things cannot be destroyed, so accept them as people." No, as bad as it gets, it gets better.In an era of extreme misfortune, like the one we are encountering now, it is a curse, but people will not be unlucky forever. "Things can't end in nothing", failure is the mother of success, that's the truth. "So accept it as the same person", the following hexagram is the hexagram of the same person. When people encounter unfavorable people, they have to make friends, make friends with like-minded people, and start a new business. This is Datong thought, the principle of freedom and equality.

"Those who are the same as others, things must return to where they are, so accepting them is a great thing." Find like-minded people, and ask "like-minded people" to think for me and for you, there is no selfish possession, only the selfishness of the public, selfishness for the group, selfishness for the country, selfishness for the world, this is "One with others".With such a mind, "things must return", and everything in the world is concentrated in the same people.So under Tongren Gua is Dayou Gua, which means that a fair and honest person will have many friends and support from many subordinates, so Tongren's comprehensive Gua is Dayou, where all the good things are gathered together. "There are big ones that cannot be filled, so be modest." Below the hexagram of greatness, there is the hexagram of modesty, which tells us the philosophy of life, which is also the philosophy of history. When a person reaches the highest point, don’t be complacent. "If you are big and can be humble, you must hesitate, so accept it." A person who has reached the extreme of wealth, fame and status, and can be humble, will be comfortable and naturally relaxed, so the lower part of the hexagram of modesty is the hexagram of Yu. "There must be something to follow, so accept it and follow it." The opposite of Yu hexagram (Comprehensive hexagram) is Sui hexagram, which is a philosophy of life, and history is also like this. In the heyday of Western Rome, Yu was singing and dancing every day to make peace, and then it was declining. The principle that people should be prepared for danger in times of peace comes from here, comfortable The results will follow, because internal problems are about to occur.Sui Shi follows, which means that there are negative things to follow, and it also means casually. There is no center in oneself, and one does what others do.Wealthy people are often lazy and don't even want to use their brains, so they let it go. The depravity of human nature seen from Gu "Those who follow others with joy will have troubles, so if they are treated by Gu, the Gu people will have troubles." People who are rich, powerful, have status, and are good in everything are the best in the world, and there will be people who will follow him to gain some benefits. If more and more people follow him, then he should be worried. , there will be an accident.Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty conquered the world, and everyone quarreled. Zhang Liang told Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty that the heroes of the world followed you to fight the world desperately, hoping that the world would be peaceful. Now the world is unified. Noisy.The reason why Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty named him a hero was that he had seen through life, and when he reached a certain position, he did what he should do.You can't like compliments or thanks from others, because as long as you have a little liking, someone will do what you like-"If you follow others with joy, you will have trouble, so you will be deceived."Bewitching, bewitching is a kind of insect. In the past, some frontier tribesmen in Guizhou and Yunnan used bewitching to anesthetize people and make people lose their minds.Gu is also a bug, there are many bugs, such as termites in the house, germs in the human body, if there are too many bugs, there will be trouble. "When something happens, it can be big, so if you accept it, it will be big." But people are not afraid of things, "It will be big after something happens, so it will be big when it is received." After understanding this truth, it is not scary to have something, and there is no fear of someone. This is not bad, so the following is Lin Gua, which is to expand. "Things are big and then they can be seen, so accept them and see them." Below the Lin hexagram is the Guan hexagram. If something is too big, like a seed planted on the side of the road, who will take care of it?After hundreds of years, it has become a sacred tree, and everyone has come to see it, so it has grown stronger, and then it is impressive, so it is appreciated. "It's impressive and then there is a combination, so if you eat it, the person who eats it will also join." Behind the Guan Gua is the Chee Ke, the so-called Chee Ke, is the appearance of opening the mouth to bite down, it is just gnawing, why is the Chee Ke Gua after Guan Gua?Because there is something remarkable, there will be something to meet. "Things can't be fornicated, so accept it as a favor, and those who favor it will also decorate it." Here we also talk about cultural thinking. At this stage in the development of society, primitive things need to be processed and added with humanistic culture. For example, the plastic plate in front of us is made of urea. The manufacturing process must go through the scientific treatment of humanistic culture. If it is made with some mud or flour, it cannot be sexually acceptable, so it must be humane and cultural, and accept it. "The responsible person also decorates", which means decoration, art and civilization. "To adorn and then prosper, it will be exhausted, so accept it and strip it, and the stripper strips it." and also. " When the civilization reaches the extreme, the art is developed, the society is safe, it is like a person, the family is rich, the art calligraphy and paintings are piled up, and it is prosperous, and there is no way ahead, so following the Ben hexagram is the peeling hexagram. It just falls slowly, and it's another cycle. "Things cannot be exhausted. If you strip the top and turn the bottom, you will receive it and return it." Below the stripped hexagram is the complex hexagram, and the same is true for the times, and it will be restored when it is stripped to the extreme. "Things cannot end", there will be no dead end. "Peel the poor up and down", when the above path is finished, turn it over and it will become a Fu hexagram. From recovery to separation, watching the ups and downs of life "It's not appropriate to repeat it, so accept it without ignorance." When people suffer disasters and blows, it is good to know how to reflect and revive, so the following hexagram is not false. "If there is no falsehood, then it can be an animal, so accept it as a big animal." That's right, a new realm has come, and there has been great development, so it is subject to the big animal hexagram. "Things and animals can then be reared, so those who feed on them feed on them, and those who feed on feed on them." Realistically, when society has enough materials, wealth is averaged, and everything is rich, then people can be supported, and economic life can be supported, so under the hexagram of big animals is the hexagram of Yi, and Yi is very comfortable, so we compliment the elderly to retire at home Enjoying blessings is "enjoyment of life", which is this Yi. "If you don't support it, you can't move it, so accepting it is a big mistake." When the world is extremely comfortable, something will go wrong. Some people say that a certain person has done a lot of evil, but he lives quite comfortably, while we follow the rules, but our life is very miserable. Where is the retribution?But the Chinese have a saying: "Heaven will repay it with great blessings." It is also equivalent to what Christianity says: "If God wants to destroy a person, he must first drive him crazy." Falling down, so nourishing to the extreme, sin, waste, extravagance to the extreme, there will be problems, so the hexagram of nourishing is a big mistake. "Things cannot pass forever, so accept them with hurdles, and those who hurdle will fall into it." Big mistakes are not enough, the universe, life, history, and society are all section by section. The so-called luck is the stage, which is the same as the threshold. "There must be something beautiful in a trap, so if you accept it and leave it, the one who leaves is also beautiful." If you feel sunk, don’t be afraid, you will stand up in the midst of suffering, so the following is Li Gua, which means Li Gua, like the sun rising, very beautiful, and a new era has begun again. The above is the Shangjing, the hexagram order of the sixty-four hexagrams is arranged in two parts, and the hexagrams of the Shangjing are arranged like this: Qian, Kun, Tun, Meng, Need, Litigation, Teacher, Bi, Xiaohu, Lu , Tai, No, Tongren, Dayou, Qian, Yu, Sui, Gu, Lin, Guan, Biting, Ben, Peeling, Fu, Wuwang, Dahu, Yi, Daguo, Kan, Li, etc. Thirty hexagrams .To put it simply, if we develop it, there are too many truths between hexagrams and hexagrams. We already have the principles of history and philosophy in the human world.How pitiful we are now, there is such a rich and beautiful cultural treasure house, our descendants are sorry to our ancestors, no one to play, and mistakenly think that we have nothing. The hexagram sequence of the upper scriptures talks about the relationship between human society and historical development, and the lower scriptures talk about life, and the lower scriptures are also wonderful.The Upper Sutra begins with the two hexagrams Qian and Kun, and the lower Sutra starts with the two hexagrams Xian and Heng.The constant hexagram is Lei Fengheng, the upper part is the Zhen hexagram, and the lower part is the Xun hexagram Yikou.Turn it over, the comprehensive hexagram is the Wei Zeshan hexagram, the upper sutra starts from Qiankun, why does the lower sutra start from Xianheng?Wei means equality, everyone needs to be together, Heng is frequent, but in the Sutra there is no mention of the hexagram names of the two hexagrams of Qian Kun, only heaven and earth are represented, and the hexagram name of Xianheng is not mentioned in the Lower Sutra, but men and women are used as symbols. On behalf of, now everyone look at the hexagrams of the scriptures. Confucian view on marriage "There is heaven and earth and then there are all things, there are all things and then there are men and women, there are men and women and then there are couples, there are husbands After women, there are fathers and sons, after fathers and sons, there are monarchs and ministers, after monarchs and ministers, there are superiors and inferiors, after superiors and inferiors, there are proprieties and righteousness If there is a mistake, the way of husband and wife cannot last long, so accept it and persevere, and the persevering will last for a long time^” The Xian hexagram does not mention what is called "salty"-everyone is like this, it is salty.In university classes, some students asked, what is the philosophy of love?I told them, I love you, I love you, if I don't love you, I don't love you, love is selfish, there is no philosophy in love.But Confucius said it well. He said that when there is heaven and earth, there are all things, and when there are all things, there are men and women. It is neither a man created by God, nor a rib taken out of a man by God to create a woman, but there are all things. Among them are men and women.A piece of human history is a drama sung by two people. It has been sung for tens of thousands of years. When there are men and women, they will naturally combine, fall in love, and become a couple. It is not because they ate apples that they become a couple. In society, there are only two things: "diet" and "men and women". One is the need to live, and the other is the need of both sexes.The above also pointed out these two things. The above mentioned the relationship between the development of personnel and history, and the following said that when there are men and women, there will be married couples, and when there are married couples, families will naturally be formed, children will be born naturally, and children will naturally have fathers and sons, so this It is the principle of the five ethics, why there are five ethics.The May 4th Movement wanted to overthrow the Confucian family shop, overthrow Confucius - saying that the Five Ethics is the ethics of cannibalism.The above are natural phenomena. When society expands, there will be people. Everyone is a person. If someone is better, if he is elected as the leader, he will be the king. If we obey him, we will be the ministers.From a medical point of view, if I talk about it in the medical school, I can also blow it up: "Human history is caused by hormones, a sperm and an egg, plus some chromosomes." There is nothing wrong with this.If you look at it from this point of view, all human beings are sick and should be given injections. You can see how terrifying the human mind is!If the thoughts are not pure, they can instigate others by blowing around for a while, but in the end they harm themselves and others.For example, Freud's sexual psychology is not wrong, but there are thousands of fallacies and only one truth.Now here we are told that the Five Ethics of human beings are not formed by force, nor stipulated by law.There are men and women, there are couples, there are couples, there are fathers and sons, there are many couples, fathers and sons, a society is naturally formed, and social organizations naturally have stages.In Western culture, young men and women are unwilling to get married, and they are unwilling to take responsibility for each other. This phenomenon is a big problem. In Chinese culture, couples should respect each other as guests, and they must last and persevere. The upper scriptures say that since the beginning of the world, there has been the social development of the universe. Now the lower scriptures start with individuals, and talk about the relationship between husband and wife, family, father and son, and the relationship between monarch and minister. Here is another philosophical problem. There is no eternal existence in the world. , Buddhism calls this phenomenon impermanence, called change. success, fame, retirement "Things cannot stay in their place for a long time, so they accept it and flee, and those who flee will retreat." We read Lao Tzu's words, "Things grow old when they are strong, and old people must fall."We can see that Confucian, Mencius, Lao, and Zhuang thought all come from it, which is the law of nature.Everything in the world grows stronger and flourishes, and will grow old. Once it gets old, it will change, and the historical stage will pass. Therefore, here is the philosophy of history: "Things cannot stay in their place for a long time, so they are suitable for them." This Of course, things do not only refer to matter, but include people, things, and things.That is, a thing cannot exist forever, so it slowly degenerates, so it is called Dun Gua.Looking at Lao Tzu's thinking again, "Successful achievement, fame, retirement, the way of heaven" also came from this place.Judging from the principle of this hexagram, when a person gets old, he should retire and hand it over to the next generation.In short, in "Xu Gua Zhuan", the arrangement procedure of each hexagram in "Book of Changes" contains many principles, and there is a lot of knowledge in it, so you have to rely on your own wisdom to think and study.For example, according to medical research, the most popular in foreign countries recently, male and female menopause is the most terrifying. The so-called parents themselves need to re-educate at this time, and most of the problems between husband and wife also occur during this period.It is best for foreigners to study the relationship between couples for three to five years, and some are shorter; in the next few decades, the relationship between family and husband and wife will be maintained by morality and law, and it will not be as dark as when they are in love. feelings.And we mentioned above that "things cannot stay in their place for a long time, so they are escaped by them".It must be back, it must be like this. "Things cannot escape forever, so they are strong when they are received." But then again, when the old people retire and hand it over to the younger generation, they will grow stronger. "Things can't last forever, so accept them to advance, and those who advance will advance." Why is Jin hexagram if it is too strong?The Jin hexagram Confucius explained is the phenomenon of progress. When something grows, it will naturally seek progress, and a new generation will rise. "Entering must be hurt, so accept it to understand the barbarians, and the barbarians will also be hurt." Here is social philosophy again, and the philosophy of history has come, and the stage of progress must be harmful.The development of society, a decree seeking progress and reform, certainly has lofty ideals, but it is destructive to the old. This is also the philosophy of revolution, and revolution will definitely hurt. "Those who are hurt outside will turn against their family, so accept it as family." Below the hexagram of Mingyi is the hexagram of family members. Confucius explained that those who are injured outside must leave home, not only for people, but also for domestic animals.Another example is our culture. For more than a hundred years, it has been stimulated by Western culture and has become modern. But now slowly even foreigners have begun to learn our Chinese culture. ", so it is the hexagram of the family. "If you are poor, you must be good, so if you accept it, you will be good." In ancient times, "皮" means that the husband and wife have turned against each other and have disagreements, so it is a family philosophy. When the family is poor, it is not the "poor" that poor and lowly couples mourn for everything, but the meaning of "extreme", "exhausted". the meaning of.For example, if a family is rich, it becomes extravagant slowly, and when the extravagance reaches the extreme, something goes wrong. The relationship between husband and wife, and the politics of the country are all like this, and they must be perverted. "It's hard to be good, so it's hard to accept it, and it's hard to be a bad boy." Being obedient is being perverse, extreme personality, family, social, and political issues are all like this, if you are too perverse, you will have difficulties, so it is the hexagram of Jian. The meaning of the word "Jian" is lame, unable to walk when injured, unable to move an inch. "Things cannot end in difficulty, so accept it and solve it, and the solution will be slow." The law of nature, there is no thing that can be trapped forever, and it will not be difficult forever. If you are trapped for a long time, you must find a way to find a way out, so the next part of the Sai hexagram is the solution hexagram, which needs to be relieved and the difficulty should be eased. "If you slow down, you will lose something, so you will suffer from it." Some quick-tempered people are prone to accidents, while slow-tempered ones tend to drag down difficulties and slowly solve them with changes, but too slow will not work, as there will be losses, and quick-tempered people are prone to anger and mess things up People who are slow are prone to make mistakes, which is equivalent to a doctor prescribing medicine. Although it is not bad, it is not cured. This is a medical mistake and delays the treatment time. Tell us that everything is relative, nothing is absolute, nothing is right, and nothing is wrong. Sometimes it is right to be a little bit, and sometimes it is wrong to be a little bit wrong. "Loss does not end without benefit, so benefit from it." The opposite of loss is gain, and the loss of one side will benefit the other side. Misfortune and fortune depend on each other. "If you can't stop benefiting, you must decide, so if you accept it, the central one will decide." When benefiting, don't think that success is blessed, success is benefit, tell us to know the way to advance and retreat, and don't know how to retreat after gaining benefits. When it reaches the extreme, it will collapse, and it will be broken. "There must be encounters, so accept them as dirt, and dirt will meet." The reason is to observe things in the universe, talk about history and culture, there will be no dead end in life, we must use wisdom to deal with this human affairs, deal with this universe, even if there is a break in the middle, there will inevitably be another new environment, so encounters will come, so ( Jue right) will be the female empress later, and the female empress hexagram is the intersection of yin and yang. "Things gather when they meet each other, so they are extracted by receiving them, and those who are extracted gather together." As long as something new comes to meet, there will be a new combination. The modern concept of "cui" is combination. The word "cui" itself means a lot of lush grass gathered in a pile, which is a youthful and lovely phenomenon. "Those who gather together are called ascension, so they are accepted to ascend." Once they gather together, they slowly move upwards, and the development of society and history is the same.For example, in the past ten years or so, many people who had no money at first, gradually joined forces and became big bosses. They were reformed and then promoted. "If you go up, you will be trapped, so you will be trapped." The opposite of the ascending hexagram is the sleepy hexagram, and if you continue to rise, you will inevitably encounter new difficulties. "Those who are trapped on the top will turn back to the bottom, so accept it as a well." Stuck on the top, when you reach the highest point, you will naturally come down and fall into the well.Whether it is an individual, a family, or the environment of the time, it is like falling into a well. The top is empty and cannot climb up, and the bottom cannot enter the ground. "The way of the well must be changed, so it should be changed." To find a way to break the cage of the environment of the times is a revolution. "There is no one who can leather things like a tripod, so I accept it with a tripod." When talking about revolution, "Ding Ge" is often said, so the two hexagrams of Ding Ge are worth studying.It was mentioned above that if a thing wants to make progress, it must suffer losses on the one hand.So Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty was very pitiful, but his ideas are now being respected. For example, the Neighborhood Baojia system was created by him at that time, but he suffered such a big loss at that time, and he was given such a big crime in history.It is not until modern times that we call him a great statesman in history, because he must have hurt others when he changed, and he has forgotten the power of the old habits of society, which is not easy to eradicate.The principle of life can only change gradually, there is no such thing as a sudden change, and the phenomenon that seems to be a sudden change also comes gradually.Therefore, the principle of Dingge, a new method, is very reasonable. When it is used to change old things, it must be done slowly according to historical experience.At that time, Wang Anshi only wanted to see success with his own eyes, but a good thing in history, if he can forget himself and don't want to see success by himself, it would be fine to use a gradual method.Many people make this mistake, thinking that if they see success, they will definitely fail.Here it is said that if there is a sudden change, unless it is completely overthrown, the best tool for reform is a tripod. A tripod is a pot. Gua, connected together. "The main vessel is like the eldest son, so when it is shaken, the shaker moves." In the ancient Chinese family system, the eldest son was the head of the family, and the younger siblings treated the elder brother as their father. Therefore, the eldest son was the only one who was the head of the family, so it was shocked.In the number of signs, the Zhen hexagram is the eldest son, representing the eldest son. At the same time, another meaning of Zhen is movement, that is, there will be a period of turmoil in the revolution. "Things cannot stop moving and stop, so accept it with gen, and the gen will stop. and also. " Here is a philosophy of doing things, political philosophy.When leading a turmoil, you must know the timing and stop the turmoil, so it is the Gen hexagram, and Gen also represents the mountain, which stops like a mountain. "Things cannot be terminated, so accept it gradually, and the gradual one progresses." But things in the world cannot stop forever without making progress. Gou Rixin in "University" means to make continuous progress and not be satisfied with the immediate achievements, so the next one is the gradual hexagram. "When you enter, you must return, so accept it and return to your sister." The Guimei hexagram is the marriage hexagram. It means that if there is progress, there will be gains, so the following is the Guimei hexagram. "He who gets what he returns must be great, so he who receives it will be rich, and the rich will be great." With the harvest, the family prospers and expands, which is Feng Gua. "The poor and the big will lose their homes, so accept them for travel." The family has expanded, the population has increased, and the houses are not enough to live in, so we have to go abroad. As our nation has grown, there are overseas Chinese everywhere in the world.When talking about the philosophy of life, if you expand it too much, you will forget your standard. "There is nothing to accommodate when traveling, so accept it as a sundae, and those who are sundae will enter." I ran outside, failed, and couldn't eat, so I had to buy a plane ticket to come back. This is the Xun hexagram. "Enter it and then talk about it, so accept it and exchange it, and those who exchange it talk about it." "Shuo" Yinyue here is the "Shuo" of "Bi Yi Shuo Hu", and I will be happy when I come back. "Say it and then dissipate it, so accept it and leave it." Excessive happiness dissipates, and one cannot forget one's complacency, so Dui Gua is followed by Huan Gua, which disperses like water. "Things cannot be separated forever, so they are received with festivals." After being slack, you can't keep slacking off, but you must exercise restraint after all. "Believe in it, so accept it with Zhongfu." With restraint, there is a neutralizing effect. "Those who believe in it must do it, so accept it as a small fault." Zhongfu also has faith, and faith often goes too far, so he accepts it as a small mistake. "Those who have had things will benefit, so they will benefit from them." Now that it has gone too far, there are pros and cons, and there is another new contact, so the following hexagram of Xiaoguo is the hexagram of Jiji. never ending "Things cannot be poor, so accepting them will end in the end." The last is the Weiji hexagram, which will never be able to make up. Two philosophical problems arise here.In the book, Confucius tells us a philosophy of history, if you understand it, you have to laugh, because things in the world can never be concluded, and it is always unresolved.The universe will continue to develop like this forever. When this earth is destroyed, a new earth will come again, and it will never stop. This is our great philosophy of history.There is such a good historical philosophy in our cultural treasure house, but it is a pity that it is left in the warehouse for bookworms to eat. This is a pitiful part of Chinese culture. At the same time, from this Weiji hexagram, our personal cultivation also arises. It is just a theory to say that life needs to be explained, because in the end it is the Weiji hexagram, which will never be completed. This is a concept. There is also a concept, which is the method of studying the sixty-four hexagrams, using the middle line to interact up and down. The final result, except for the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, is either beneficial or ineffective. The role of hexagrams, good or bad, right or wrong, is good or bad, understand these, so it is easy to study, not so complicated and scary. Continuous research and verification Is the reason why Confucius studied Xu Gua above correct?From the perspective of historical philosophy and humanistic culture, there are very good reasons.Strictly speaking, Confucius' Preface to Gua Zhuan only explains the names of the hexagrams. For example, he only explains what needs are, what is needed.From the point of view of modern economics, human beings need to eat and drink to live. This is the need. When there is a need, people will struggle, so the hexagram of need is the hexagram of litigation.The reason Confucius said is very sufficient, but the suffix itself comes from the number of images. If we look at the hexagrams in terms of numbers, the reason given by our sage still becomes a problem.It can only be said that Confucius only talked about the principles of Yi, especially the aspects of humanities and culture, and he spoke very satisfactorily.As for the scientific relationship of why the sixty-four hexagrams are arranged in this way, he did not explain the full truth in "Xu Gua Zhuan", and it is not enough to satisfy us. We don't need to think that everything is right just because he is a saint. . In our "Siku Quanshu", we found that the works of ancient people's explanations played a very important role, forming a system of its own.Notes for later generations—from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the present, all explanatory works have a common concept, and they believe that the opinions in the book "Book of Changes" are correct.For some things that cannot be explained, they must be proved to be correct by quoting from many sources. The author racked his brains and tried his best to find out how to conform to the "all right" principle. Is the attitude of learning like this correct and worthwhile? consider. For example, in "Book of Changes", why is the Tun hexagram next after the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun?It can also be said that the Tun hexagram is a change from the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, Shuilei Tun, Kan hexagram is the middle line of Kun hexagram from yin to yang, and Zhen hexagram is the second and third line of Qian hexagram from yang to yin, so why? Is it alternating in twos and threes?Here comes a thought. Putting it aside and looking at it again, the source of Western culture is religion and philosophy.Western philosophy first promoted Greece, and began to study metaphysics—the source of the universe, saying that the first origin of the universe was made of water, of course not the water we see now.In terms of geology, before the earth was formed, there was suddenly a force in space, like a typhoon, which the Chinese call Qi.This gas is a liquid gas, which is called water, and it is slowly rotating for countless billions of years. When this water vapor condenses, it becomes the earth.What protrudes is the high mountain, and what sinks is the ocean. The water in the ocean is the second-heaviest water, which is acquired water, formed by the air that surrounded the earth after the earth was formed.Indians also talk about earth, water, fire, and wind, which start with water, and the Chinese also say the same. The five elements are the same. The sky gives birth to water, and the earth gives birth to fire, which is also made of water.Then the two hexagrams of Qiankun, this Qiankun—how did the universe come about?It came from the mines.It can be said that the beginning of the origin of the universe, or the beginning of the acquired world, is Tun Gua.The same is true when looking at the hexagrams, because when the Qian hexagram moves outside, it becomes an earthquake. An earthquake is a kind of energy, which is equal to the initial power of the universe explained by science and geology. into the earth.This phenomenon, we give it a symbol, called "Shui Lei Tun".After the formation of the earth, there were no things, human beings, and culture. Slowly, the mountains and rivers were covered, and the hexagram was turned over. The bottom of the earth is full of water, and the top is high mountains. Gradually, vegetation grows and sprouts, and human beings grow. Where is the source of human beings? did not speak.This kind of combination is "reasonable! Our greatness!" But this set was made by me.This is the case if you want to praise your ancestors. It is right to put together everything that is reasonable in ancient and modern China and abroad.It’s like going to a department store to buy a pair of jigsaw puzzles, which are very beautiful and can be assembled into various images, as mentioned above.But I am not satisfied with such an explanation.This way of speaking, everyone sounds reasonable, but I asked myself, is this really the case?Still uneasy, there is a big problem.How did it come about?Still a big problem.我在这里把研究的经验告诉大家,所以我不肯讲,如果自己认为自己对的意见就是真理,那就错了。文王、孔子都死了,欲向他们当面请教,又没有办法。所以研究学问,要用这样客观的态度,因此我说六十四卦的《周易》次序,为什么这样排列问题,求之于古人,没有得到解决。 由此看来,几千年来,我们对于这本书,无论是哪位大家,乃至于上通天文、下知地理的人,都没有给我们一个圆满的解答,这是要注意的。 六十四卦有时候矛盾的地方很多,包括孔子的“十翼”在内。比如《彖辞》和《彖辞》,对卦所下的定义,往往是相反的,都要去研究、考据。如认为《彖辞》是一人作的,《彖辞》又是另外一人作的,并不完全是孔子作的,因此有一说,认为《彖辞》是孔子作的,《彖辞》是周公作的。当然,这是“事出有因,查无实据”的事,周公也好,孔子也好,《彖辞》与《彖辞》下的定义,有时是相反的,有时是一致的,这中间都是问题。求真理要会怀疑,当然也不要没有理由的乱怀疑,抗拒性的怀疑也不对,而是要虚心,怀疑也是虚心的一种态度,不要以崇拜性的观念认为前人一定是对的,这样就不科学了。
