The origin of learning Bazi
In the process of studying human existence and life, Dr. Chen Yikui discovered that God is not fair. The deepest feeling of this injustice is the severe blow he suffered when he was a child. At that time, he kept asking why God is so unfair? Want to be cruel to a good person?
When Dr. Chen Yikui was a child, he went to work in the fields in the winter and went to the fields with the long-term worker at home. Dr. Chen Yikui said that there was a long-term worker. At that time, Dr. Chen Yikui's young heart believed that he was the kindest person in the world, better than anyone in his family. When you eat and work in the fields at noon, the long-term worker first digs an earthen kiln for roasting sweet potatoes on the ground where the rice has been cut, and then buries some sweet potatoes in the fire to heat them up and slowly roasts them with the remaining temperature. Wait until four o'clock in the afternoon. When you are hungry, there are hot sweet potatoes to wrap your belly. At that time, there are snacks to eat in the summer, but not in the winter. Because they always go home very late, the family will ask: Are you hungry? Everyone says they are not hungry.
On a rainy day one summer, the kind-hearted long-time worker put on a hoodie and a hat and rushed to plant the seedlings with a hoe. He didn’t expect that a thunder struck and died. Dr. Chen Yikui cried for several weeks and asked his grandmother. Why are good people killed by thunder? His grandmother said that probably Lei Gong’s eyes were covered by the wind and sand, and Dr. Chen Yikui said that there was no wind or sand at that time! Grandma had no choice but to say that this was probably his destiny! Since then, Dr. Chen Yikui has been branded deep in his heart by the phrase "destiny", and he must understand the matter of "destiny" in the future. In the second year of the thunder incident, Mr. Wu Junmin posted a small advertisement in the Central Daily to recruit students in the Bazi class, and started learning Bazi by correspondence.
The process of Bazi learning
In the summer of 1957, I just started to learn the eight characters and recite ten stems: Jia Yi Bing Ding Wu Ji Geng Xin Ren Gui. The relationship between the ten days stem and the human body: Jia gallbladder, Yi liver, Bing small intestine, Ding heart, Wu stomach, Ji spleen, Geng large intestine, Xin lung, Ren bladder, Gui kidney. Dr. Chen Yikui was very happy and learned it! At that time, he was very happy in Mrs. Wu’s house. At that time, every family would post a train timetable by the door of the living room. Dr. Chen Yikui looked at the timetable and couldn’t wait to go home early. At that time, you had to take a train ride from Twelve Zhang to Wanhua, and then transfer to Taoyuan. As soon as the train time is up, he will say goodbye to the teacher and teacher’s wife! The wife is short, she was from Xiamen, knowing that Dr. Chen Yikui can speak Taiwanese, she speaks Taiwanese asked Dr. Chen for dinner and then went back, saying that he could’ve taken the next bus. Dr. Chen Yikui said no, and insisted on rushing home because he was happy to go home to see if he learned what he wanted. Which one of the family's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys is lacking?
When he came back home, he found out that everyone had incomplete viscera! After thinking about it, he realized that everyone had only four entrails. He couldn’t contact the teacher without a phone before, and Mr. Wu’s phone number was shared. You have to go out to use the phone.
He went to Teacher Wu’s house again the next week and said to Teacher Wu: It’s strange that everyone has incomplete five internal organs. Teacher Wu said, why did you ask this? Dr. Chen Yikui said that there are only four natural stems in the Bazi, and the five internal organs are not complete. Where did the other six go? Teacher Wu said, "No!" He will talk about Earthly Branches, Earthly Branches have hidden stems. Dr. Chen Yikui was thirsty for knowledge and couldn't wait for the next handout to be printed. He wanted to know the answer immediately. Teacher Wu wrote the hidden stems of the twelve earthly branches, together with the formula, and then wrote the eight words between each other. The relationship was dictated once again. Teacher Wu spoke quickly, and Dr. Chen Yikui also listened quickly.
Teacher Wu said: None of the students I met is smarter than you, because you are smart and I am happy to teach you.
At that moment, Teacher Wu handed over the handouts that had been written and had not been sent to Dr. Chen Yikui. After receiving the handouts, he looked at the handouts with dim lights on the train home, and at the same time recited the verse: Zi palace has Gui water in it, Chou has Gui Xin Ding, Yin Branagh has Jia wood and Bing Wu,....... Dr. Chen Yikui said that his memory was so good at that time. When the train arrived at Taoyuan, the trick song was also memorized. Although he could memorize it, he didn't understand its meaning. Why should the earthly branches contain heavenly stems? Teacher Wu said that it was passed down like this in the past. Later, Dr. Chen Yikui went to study its ins and outs, as well as internal organ problems, which in turn was related to the study of acupuncture and moxibustion. During the two summer vacations, Mr. Wu taught Dr. Chen Yikui everything.
