ZhuoYi-The Book of Change explanation (2)The first (2)

(Dr.Chen Yikui)

At that time, Zhou Gu's hexagram was not the only founded in one tribe, because at that time all tribes, small tribes, hundreds of tribes, in the Shang Dynasty era. This is the history of China, there is no way with the world of sinologists in place, just think about it, the original records of the Zhou Dynasty hexagram is not recognized by the sinologists, the earliest sinologists only recognize in the Han Dynasty, it speaks Chinese characters.Your Chinese prescription is Chinese, including consider themselves as Chinese, do not recognize the Zhou Dynasty.

I once remarked that because Liu Er had tracked down a Chinese tortoise shell in the three years of the Republic of China, and had text in the turtle shell and finally sold his property to the area in Henan's Shang Dynasty dig out hundreds of thousands of tortoise shells, removed the more broken shells, pick up the bigger shell clean it with water, turn it into a “Iron Cloud Turtle Plate”. After making Oracle, was very famous internationally. However, his concept differs from Yuan Shikai. This is a very important thing for the Chinese people. Water treatment and the Yellow River water, especially in the Shandong area, are not in accordance with Yuan Shikai's views. Yuan Shikai put him into Xinjiang, and finally died in Xinjiang. It is a pity that this man can sort it out in such a subtle way of thinking of the West. If he read more of the Book of Changes, he would probably know the Book of Changes where the Gua put and what its sequence is. If he was studying Newton's mechanics, kinematics, astronomy, he would certainly come up with his power to exercise kinematics in the universe, Newton's straight line is a part of the straight line in the course of the sport, it runs straight on the circumference, you take it as if this section of 360 is a straight line, and Newton's law of motion is about a small segment of that large movement. So it's always on the line. One experience at the time was that its movement was a circular movement that had been circling around. Therefore, since the two Ch’ien and Kim hexagrams in the 64 hexagram, they speak both 既濟 (Chi Chi) and 未濟 (weiChi). This cycle will not stop, stop is the demise.

This was the hexagram on the wall, let us discuss what should be do and look it at with which angle. If you use memorized, with a firm angle, I think will be hard. All our peasants will pray for good weather in God. So how big the wind should be, do not know, then we now to discuss how it should be. How much rain should be? Then it must coexist two, if there is no coexistence, then there is no creature in this place. No creatures, no characters.

The Book of Changes itself is written by people-centered thinking logic, let us talk about the first point, the Book of Changes suddenly came out the first one, it has no foreword nor follow-up, the general book will preface, write to you, or explain this book, only the Book of Changes did not, just come out, that's the case, I put all the posterity of the annotated talent, received the final crooked, the solution of the people with the week of the King, Zhou Wu Wang and Zhou Gong, yes these three leaders finishing, executive Zhou Gong in execution. At the time of implementation, it was education. Zhou Gong did not bring war with soldiers nor did he have anything like it. It was implemented equal to the premier of the State Council on the mainland. He did not represent as the president of the country. At that time, he represented only the King of Zhou Dynasty. So are the princes outside. Now like Saudi Arabia, it is the chieftain, he has the autonomy. He said that you should be kill, or you should be in prison. No matter what the emperor said, how powerful the princes are, I can punish ti those people, in fact, a tribe, to that tribe, how much I want, so called to fight. More intense records are in the historical records. However, there are no historical records, and all this happened in the private sector.

After the Book of Changes was completed, after the rule of the Zhou Dynasty was completed, we did not record any records of the monuments. Therefore, it is beautiful that Meng Jiangnu cried over the Great Wall. This love story is not recorded in our records. So Zhou Gong used the 64 hexagram as a very important information for the moment. He just got the information, which may be many, similar to the same, but close to the same, it is not in accordance with this rule when it is removed. Let's talk about this hexagram or this hexagram, but is there anything close to this hexagram? It still has, but it has to be taken off because it takes the rule out of the way, and if it is close but of a similar nature to it, but the arrangement is not the same, then takes it off. When I was talking about this before, many people think that you, the Chen Yi-kui, if let you talk about Yi Jing will be a maze, there are only 64 hexagrams, but  you said there still have nearly the same hexagram in each of the hexagrams. In order to speak about this, I had been hired by the Legislative Yuan to have an academic committee. I explained this principle of the Book of Changes. I said that the real thing is not only the 64 hexagram. It is representative of the 64 hexagrams. It is very much close to this situation.

My final explanation is this. When you put a hexagram, a combination of this hexagram, into an element, one of the elements of chemistry in nature. An element has an elemental nature. How does it matter? Outside is not many, many isotopes? I know that there are some 30 isotopes. Our Book of Changes is like this. Is this not a scientific thing? At that time, was there such a thing as science?

It has a total of 64 elements, I will according to the history to deal with. At the beginning of the 20th century, when I was in the middle school, I was in the Republic of China 40 years. There were only about 60 elements in old textbooks and 86 elements when I was in university. After decades ,it became over a hundred and now recorded 117 elements.

So you think this 64 of the Book of Changes, enough? enough. We use the elements of the periodic table really about four dozen, those used daily, there are those that are very few. Few things on earth. If you can use 64 elements on our periodic table also can used it very well, then you probably get a Nobel Prize no problem. Now Taiwan's education finally goes abroad. The very famous person who used to be the principal of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Zhu Jingwu, himself said that his superconductor has 28 commonly used elements. He sensationalized the world in superconductor research.

Well, in human nature, in my opinion, this 64 hexagrams, in fact, more than enough. why? The most important in humanity are marriage, health, earn a little money, I would think it is more than enough.
