Introduction to the study of the I Ching 2009-11-12 13:13 What is the I Ching:
What is the I Ching:
The I Ching: the first of the group of classics The Book of Changes, the beginning of the group of scriptures, is vast and subtle and all-inclusive
Fuxi in ancient times "looked up, looked down, and looked wide" - King Wen of the ancient Zhou Dynasty who created the Bagua Diagram - Confucius in the ancient Zhou Yi Dynasty with sixty-four hexagrams - Making Ten Wings
——The Book of Changes is a collective creation.
The Book of Changes is both natural science and human ethics. It is the general source of Chinese philosophical thought.
The practical significance of modern people studying the Book of Changes:
1. Correcting specious concepts
2. Mystical morality
3. Seek common ground while reserving differences
What is yin and yang: the sun is yang, the moon is yin; spring and summer are yang, autumn and winter are yin; the palm of the hand is yang, the back of the hand is yin, the thumb is yang, and the four fingers are yin
The odd number is yang, the even number is yin - the head is yang, the feet are yin...the day is yang, the night is yin, the bud is yang, the leaves are yin, true and false, false and false, empty and true, that is yin and yang. Yin and Yang are inseparable, Yin and Yang are one!
Chinese people say two things at the same time, one yin and one yang, "A hero is not judged by success or failure. The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit; courtesy comes first, and no one should give in!..." The intention to harm others You can't have it, you can't have it without guarding against others. This is also yin and yang.
Yin and Yang are relative, they can change, and Yin and Yang are one.
Yang represents ideals, while Yin means down-to-earth pursuit of ideals.
The two-dimensional diagram represents: 1. It is round
2. Don’t hurt others
3. The interaction of yin and yang.
Yang comes first and Yin comes last. In the Bagua diagram, the pure Yang hexagram is at the top and the pure Yin hexagram is at the bottom. Men are Yang and women are Yin. Is the idea that men are superior to women correct? Incorrect, the sky is high above and the earth is low below. It is a fact. Is the sky more noble than the earth? The greatest function of the earth is to hold the sky tightly so that the earth does not speak. It holds the sky high and the sky listens to the earth. Therefore the mother is called the earth.
Why we call it Zhonghua? Zhonghua is Tai Chi. Hua is the "two rites, four phases, and eight trigrams" of life
Confucius's consistent way is Zhong, Tai Chi, and benevolence, and benevolence is one yin and one yang.
Benevolence is the core thing. Benevolence exists in everything in the world, and everything is Tai Chi!
What is Tai Chi:
Fu Xi's "One Painting Opens the Sky" Two are born, two merge into one. Create yin and yang symbols, and Bagua diagrams!
Tai Chi: Tai Chi is composed of big and small. Its big has no outside, and its small has no inside. It’s called Tai Chi! It was started by Confucius. A unified platform for everything in the universe. One yin and one yang. Constantly alternating with each other. (There is also Tai Chi that gives birth to two rituals. - Confucius)
Tai Chi is the same gene for everything in the universe.
Tao follows nature, and the good and bad in the Book of Changes are good and bad. Good is to let nature take its course, and bad is not to follow nature.
Amidst the changes, there is something unchanging called law.
The truth is straight, but the road is always crooked.
Heaven is nature! Everything that is in line with nature is right, and anything that is not in line with nature must be wrong sooner or later.
People in the Book of Changes should do everything. They should do everything that is right. They should not exclude doing it if it is wrong, but should do it with caution!
What is Bagua:
Confucius said in "Ten Wings" that "Tai Chi produces two instruments, two instruments produce four images, and four images produce Bagua." Bagua is the arrangement of two kinds of symbols. combination. ( Morning - Shaoyang, noon - Laoyang, dusk - Shaoyin, midnight - Laoyin) Naturally, things are changing, and the four phenomena will continue to change.
The Four Symbols produce the Bagua (Heaven-Qian, Earth-Kun, Water-Kan, Fire-Li, Mountain-Gen, Thunder-Zhen, Wind-Xun, Ze-Dui)
The sky cannot be separated, but the earth can be separated.
The movement below is wind, the movement in the sky is fire, and the movement above the sky is marsh. ()
The earth is divided into three layers. The movement below is thunder, the movement in the middle is water, and the movement above is mountain. ()
The sky is called Qian. The sky is very healthy, never stops, and is strong, so it is called Qian.
The earth and the earth are very smooth. The earth is called Kunkun, which means supple.
Water ridge Water is land without soil, and is a rough and dangerous place without soil
Fire is the sun. If the sun moves from east to west, it needs to be attached to something else. It means "li". To put out a fire, isolate and use Li hexagram
Shan Gen should be stopped in moderation and don't expect too much. Climb the mountain slowly, and look at the scenery while looking at it. It should be fast, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes slow. Don’t be trustworthy to villains
Thunder is deafening when it hits, so it is called earthquake
The wind is everywhere and blows We call things that are very homogeneous and can go in anywhere in the world without being partial.
Ze Dui feels happy when he comes to the pond. There are trees beside the pond. Dui adds comfort and feels happy. Therefore, it is called Dui with the ancient meaning of the Book of Changes.
