"Image" in a narrow sense refers to "heaven and earth". The sun, moon and stars in the sky go round and round, and the four seasons on the earth go round and round from cold to summer. "Image" in a broad sense includes many things, such as the ups and downs of various plants, the habits of various animals, the deeds of sages, major events in history, the customs and habits that everyone abides by, and the characteristics and functions of various parts of the human body. It is through these phenomena of heaven and earth and human nature that Zhouyi tells people how to follow suit.
Let's sum up, the Book of Changes is all about the sages who have gone to bed with saints, their deeds and major events in ancient history.
2. "It's easy to lose a sheep, no regrets" and "It's easy to lose an ox, and it's fierce".
They appeared in "Thirty-four Zhuang Gua" and "Fifty-six Travel Gua" respectively, which recorded the business experience of Wang Hai, the originator of merchants. Wang Hai went to a remote "foreign" country to sell cattle and sheep. He had lost sheep several times before, but the last time he lost not only the cow, but also his life.
Speaking of personnel, losing sheep is a small loss, while cattle is a family's biggest property, and losing cattle means a huge loss. At the same time, "Yang" and "Yang" are homonyms. Compared with young people full of blood, Dazhuang Gua feels big and strong and doesn't know how to make trouble everywhere. Parents inevitably have to break the bank to avoid disaster. For young people themselves, they should also restrain excessive "masculinity" and blood gas to avoid greater regrets when they grow up, so they call it "easy to lose a sheep and have no regrets."
Travel hexagrams are about relatives being displaced by their enemies, and being cautious and humble under the fence. The nine hexagrams on the hexagrams are like birds nesting in other people's trees, birds occupying phoenix nests, and people occupying other people's territory. As a result, the bird's nest was burned, the house was pushed, and the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, Hai, lost the cow and died, and it was too late to regret it.
3. "First Sister".
* * * There are two places, 1 1 Thai hexagram and the fifty-fourth Guimei hexagram. Di Yi is Shang Zhouwang's father, and Di Yi's father Wen Ding killed Wen Wang's father Ji Li. In order to ease the tension with the Western Zhou Dynasty, Di Yi married his daughter to King Wen. The Book of Changes advocates the intercourse of Yin and Yang, which corresponds to the unity of monarch and minister in personnel. The middle 92 is a minister, the middle 65 is a king and the middle 92 is an emperor, just like a king marries a minister and a vassal, so it is called "Di Yi's homecoming".
4. "Husband is fierce."
Appearing in the eighth gossip "Biography of Confucius Sage", it is recorded that "Wang Jian first built the world and loved the princes", and divination was a matter of merging scattered primitive tribes to find a backer after the war of divination. The "former king" refers to Dayu, and "Fang Feng" is also a hero of water control. When Dayu summoned the princes of the world, Fang Feng thought she was older than Dayu, and was deliberately late, challenging Dayu's authority, so she was killed by Dayu. Dayu killed the discipline of "defending" the founding of the country in order to warn the princes. As a result, the leaders of various tribes were afraid to go their own way when they saw Yu's nature. It was from this time that Yu really realized his command of the world, became the real "King of Kyushu" and established the Xia Dynasty.
There are also examples of "fierce men" in later generations. Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang unified the world, but Tian Heng refused to submit to the Han Dynasty and led 500 people to flee to the island. Liu Bang sent people to court, and Tian Heng was forced to take a boat to Luoyang, where he committed suicide three miles away.
On the issue of "Taiwan Province Province" in China today, if the authorities of Taiwan Province Province insist on Taiwan Province's independence, break away from the Chinese nation, and set up another national title to undermine the great cause of China's reunification, we must recover Taiwan Province Province by force to prevent its plot from succeeding.
"Wang served three times and lost several birds in front."
The Ninth Five-Year Plan, when the eighth gossip appeared, recorded the hunting in Shang Tang. According to historical records, "Tang Li was surrounded by three nets, and the world died." The Ninth Five-Year King had the virtue of being good at life, serving others with virtue, uniting himself without threatening others with force.
6.i have a son.
In ancient times, concubines were generally denied birthright status. Zi's original intention is Yan Bo, the ancestor of the merchant, and Zi is the surname of the royal family in the Shang Dynasty, just like the popular TV series The Legend of Mi Yue and Yan Bo.
Judy, Kui Bo's mother, was originally the maid of Di Ku (Ku), one of the five emperors, and got revenge for giving birth to her promising son Kui Bo. Diced melon comes from kudzuvine. The revolution successfully changed the dynasty, abandoned the old and established a new society. You can't rank by seniority, and whoever has the ability will be reused. Therefore, the sage used the allusion of "taking my concubine as his son" as a metaphor. Mothers value children, people value their talents, and politics is clear.
7. "Make it timely", "If there is a blessing" and "If there is a blessing, make it, and make it because of faith".
The word "Fa" appears in No.2 Kun Gua, 14 Gua and No.55 Feng Gua, which mainly refers to the "Four Fa" of Xia Wang in 16 generation, that is, his father. At that time, the national strength of the Xia Dynasty declined, and Fa Xian visited all the sages of the country. Finally, I chose an old man, Pang Weixiang, who raised horses to revitalize the country. After Fa Xian's death, Xia Jie succeeded to the throne, and he was dissolute, but Guan Longdi was killed because of his loyalty. Guan Longdi, a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, was the first person to remonstrate against death in the history of China. Yi Fa and Guan Long style are the earliest allusions of falling into talents without sticking to one pattern, which are 600 years earlier than Wang Wenpan's western encounter with Jiang Taigong and Liu Bei's visit to Caotang 1900.
Sages alluded to Zhou Wuwang's Ji Fa from Faxian, telling the sages not to think that kings are as cruel and immoral as Xia Jie and Shang Zhouwang, and sages like Ji Fa should not be suspicious, and should go out to share their worries for the country and benefit the whole people.
