Zhou Yi—book of change explanations (86)
以待風雨，蓋取諸<大壯>
This is an attachment or such a record. We look at it from two angles. 64gua, each one has its meaning. The CiChi is the meaning of each one. It seems to be a situation in life, called Thunder heaven Da Zhuang. Big and strong, this record of life.
This is close to science. In 1999, the director of the Department of Chemistry of National Taiwan University translated a good book called a chemical tour, emphasizing any matter, how to determine the source of each element, including the source of the periodic table, the same as the principle of the Book of Changes, I believe that this 64 Gua Arranged, this person and Zhou Wenwang are no less than the very famous Mendelev in the Soviet Union in the 18th century. He used atomic weight to set a beginning of the periodic table, and then developed the number of protons as the periodic table. The nature of the production to produce alkaline, acidic, including excessive elements.
Like our teaching, you put this rule in it, how do you use it in the future, how to get it, the people of your descendants go their own way, our 64 Gua is like this, Zhou Wenwang collects every area. The records are put together, and slowly set to become a sequence.
I did not expect that when Song was born, Zhu Xi arranged another one and arranged it into a palace, so the order in Zhou was completely different from the palace in the Song Dynasty. Like Chemistry, Mendelev used its weight as the initial stage of its periodic table, but later changed. When I want to apply it, I want to use it, and the electrons are always discharged. No matter how it is arranged, It really acts as a peripheral electronic quantity to make it decide its vibrancy.
In the beginning Zhou Yi, the whole arrangement is like this. When I really use this a lot of time, I have to go to the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Dynasty gave it to the palace, because every Gua, Zhou Yi has no ambiguous nature, only the record of gua, there is no five element. There is no such use of this Gua! This record, this process, so 以蓋取諸<大壯>. This kind of record, he did not talk about how to use it, at what time to use it! It was only known to the Song Dynasty that the mass use was the Ming Dynasty.
古之葬者，厚衣之以薪
This may be quite reasonable for us to understand this record. Why when the Zhou Dynasty, people with great status, when they die, must put a lot of things in life, including furniture... all through. More serious in Egypt, all the wives must be buried. But Confucius does not approve of this. When you are buried, you will be buried in y the necessities of life. This was passed to the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. When I went to see it, because I went very early, I didn’t have anything at the end. I went in 75th year of the Republic of China. At that time, Taiwan was completely open. Because I was studying Feng Shui and Yi Jing, I must thoroughly understand this concept. Real life necessities have, the most important mirror - bronze mirror, is still there, showing that the alloy of the bronzes of the Ming Dynasty has progressed to such a deep place. When it rains, the rain will infiltrate. The rainwater will probably contain carbonic acid. The thawed nitrogen dioxide will make these nitrates, which will be absorbed by the plants. Then what is no way to be absorb? When the plants are breathing, When it is raining at night, when carbon dioxide is mixed in water, it will produce carbonic acid. Carbonic acid should cause ion corrosion with many metals. There is no copper mirror. It can be seen that the alloy technology of bronze is very high at that time. It cannot be foreign, because we know that Shang Dynasty has a great alloy of copper, why? When you want to, you must drill a small hole in the bone, you bake it, the temperature is high, the oil inside is high. It will burst, now all the milk tea is covered, and there will be a small hole in the middle. The straw will be cracked from there, and it will be cracked. You can't wipe it on the side, it must be in the middle, because it makes a small hole in the pinhole. This way, the pressure is on, you think about it, the Shang Dynasty used this theory, you have to drill that small hole, it must be harder than the dried beef bone, light copper must be alloyed copper, metallurgy. But at that time metallurgy was controlled by the emperor, so it was difficult.厚衣之以薪, this life, the whole process.
葬之中野，不封不樹,
It is very strange. It is sealed in our etiquette. The coffin is to be sealed. Why is the Confucius not saying it? This is the previous high status before, it is sealed. But if you don't seal it, it will stink, so there is a seven-star board in their coffin.in Zhou Dynasty, there will be lime and charcoal underneath. Then, what should they do when puts body on the top of the lime and puts charcoal? So everyone is studying mummies, and they think that after the mummies are dead, the stomach should be cut open to separate the internal organs, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys will be smashed, and then put together there, and finally, what medicine should be sprinkled, and it should be rolled up with linen. Dried. It can be seen that the Zhou Dynasty, it was more abundant. The hibiscus put a seven-star board inside, put people in, don't seal it, and dry it. Why is it buried in wild? Middle of the wild is under the wilderness, outside the city where the king lives, the wilderness, and the wilderness is beyond the mountains.
Then outside the vine. In the era of Confucius's record, he wrote the records of the Zhou Dynasty and always emphasized that these were in the 1100 BC, now more than 2,000 AD, more than 3,000 years ago. More than 3,000 years ago in Egypt, the pyramid was not in the middle of the city. It was a memorial hall and placed it in the middle of the city. It was not in the past! It used to be outside the city. Of course not put it in the mountains. In the Dream of Red Mansions, the man died and was finally buried in Jinling, is now outside of Nanjing. This has been recorded so clearly called middle of wild. Not seal not stand, you can see that is lying down. In the past, the tree is standing,not tree is not standing up. Not tree is lying.
喪期无數
I think this sentence may be means very long. It’s not really there are countless. In the Zhou Dynasty, I don’t know how it make a three-year mourning period. It’s been going down like that. When I came to Taiwan, there were three years of mourning, because Taiwan’s footsteps were fast, and nomads different than ethnic times, the three years of mourning have starved to death. Now the Taiwanese are probably 49 days. To be a super-transition will be the year, the whole year. After one more day is to do three years. Burn the table of God's main card. The 49-day period expires, the 50th day is the year, and the 51-day can be used for three years. It can be seen that it will take three years and it will be completed in 50 days. Now it's faster, the whole shortening is completed on the day of the farewell, and the three-year event is completed in a few days. This is a phenomenon that Taiwanese are so anxious to do.
