Zhou Yi—book of change explanation (31) Pi
In the standpoint of solar terms, we have Bing, Geng and Wu in the beginning of summer. This Wu is connected to the earth, Bing is above, Geng is in the middle, so this time will not be really high in temperature. Why is Heaven Stem, Earthly Branch, Bing is a kind of sunshine. The real fire can be high in temperature is Ding. After Si will be Wu, then Wei, Wu is Bing Ding, so it is the hottest in the two months after the beginning of summer and it is hot until the end of August. Because there is still a very hot summer call ChuShu, 15 days after the beginning of autumn. Every place is very hot, and it can be seen that there are three months of heat. Shen should have 壬, 庚, 戊, 戊, and 戊 is also attached to the bottom. 庚 is a convergence, 壬 is not really liquid, solid and breathable, what we talk about like ozone in the ozone layer, it passes, so it is still hot, and it will only cool when GUI shows up, then it is not hot.
The Lidong Hai is Ren and Jia, so it is not cold either. When it is time to reach the Zi, it will have Gui and it will be cold. The real cold, cold water, not cold in Taiwan, it is frost, not very cold. The Gui , Zi began to be cold, and the Chou also had Gui and Xin. It was the coldest of the months. When it was cold, the Taiwanese people had a very efficacious word. It should not to rain after LiChun. The rain was water. After the beginning of spring, as long as there was rain and Gui water, there was rain and cold, there was a saying in Taiwanese. It is the rain that will surely cold. The spring is cold and is raining. It is actually cold because of raining.
This foundation is laid out from the Book of Changes and is very interesting in the study. First, it uses binary digits. Then it uses three hexagrams. It is a kind of coordinate, called the coordinates of the fixed point, and the fixed point of any object. The coordinates are all three XYZ coordinates. These three are positive and negative. There are yin and yang. This is the path to all current mathematics. I did not expect our old ancestors to be so clever, know to used it this way. It's a pity that we are so backward, we always maintain just the status quo!
Like Qin Shihuang, it reformed. When all reforms were good, it was called centralization. Why should we maintain the status quo? Centralization, if I change it, it will be gone. That is to maintain the status quo, standing in our education, starting from the Qin Shi Huang, and now said to maintain the status quo, the exam to maintain the status quo, ask you just memorized what the test want, what do you want to memorized, and maintain that form is an outline. It is not to give you the opposite, or to give you a statement. Just show you what is right and wrong. If you do not follow my pattern, then even the words is right still wrong, that are called memorized and by doing memorized will achieve your purpose, then you will work hard to memorized until you die,after you did that will achieved that goal, on the purpose of centralized power. This is a philosophical logic.
泰者通也，物不可以終通，故受之以否
Pi (twelfth)
From this interpretation, every time you change, there is no absolute, the advantage of the book of change. You are now, and you are not now eternal. Historically, when one is controlling the world, he always like it to be eternal, there is no one success. Of course, in the history of oral and oral transmission, success must be changed to be successful. It seems that I have limited ability. I must pass this position to others and should give it to people, not necessarily by election. Of course, in the past, in the history of history, every person in power will think that he is the most virtuous, then I want to let it to whom? No one can make it, because everyone is so stupid, only me is wise, so no.
Why did Master Kongzi praise Yao and Xun so much that he did not mention the three emperors (Thirren, Fuxi, and Shennong) of the five emperors. Prior to the writing of the Records of the Historian, there were records of some Han books. The records of the five emperors were few. Only the records of the Yellow Emperor were more, and did not speak much about rest of the emperors. At the time of Confucius, the morality of the five emperors was so high that it was called the Five Virtuous Dynasties. Therefore, in the play, these two were recorded. The two men were the most praised. These two people were prostitutes and magistrates who gave position to the eunuchs. As DaYu of the great flood control, of course no one raised it. Before when we were reading history only memorized, not to understand it, history is dead, living people to record the dead, if I want to ask how the dead died? He is dead, how to write.
物不可以終通，故受之以否
Things can not be terminated, so they should be accepted
Things cannot be finalized, 終 means forever. It is not “stop”. Therefore, whether or not it is accepted, in the other hand, earth heaven Thai, trunk buds are emitted. This is called Kaitai. Sanyang Kaitai is probably used in this way. Lectures, Kai Tai originally had buds out of the trunk, it was Thai, but it could not mean the end. This bud has been growing there, it is impossible is the end. Therefore, if it grows to a certain degree, it will be reversed. Therefore, fellow with Pi, turn it over.
