Zhou Yi—book of change explanations (87)
後世聖人易之以棺槨，蓋取諸<大過>
When did the later generations begin? It was Zhou Dynasty. This 棺槨 is a coffin. This gua is talking about the death of a person, the mourning of a person, the coffin of a person, where is the person buried? Middle wild, there is only one Gua, explaining the dead. Including the death period of the dead, it has a lot of mourning, which is equal to the process of recording the person after the death.
Ze Tian da Gou, and this record of people died, and then come to the funeral period, and then come to no seal no tree then buried in the wild. There must be a coffin in the future. This is called Da Gou.
This rule was made before Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang went to a tribe to take this Gua home, and according to the culture of the highest class of this tribe, when people die, they must be like this, Yijing is like this, visible with life. Is a record of life. It was before 1100 BC. I was taken home by Zhou Wenwang and hung on the wall. Let's take a look at each person's process.
This is the Confucius, we have always said that the foundation of our culture is based on the Yijing, right here. Because every kind of life is recorded like this, everyone uses it to classify it as a kind of ritual.
上古結繩而治,
Was it before of Fuxi, knot rope, Fuxi has no rope? No. I changed it to vine. Is the knot knotted? No. When you want to record something, you want wood, and tie it here. It is not used to make a record with this knot, tie it to a tree head with a knot, so that the records. Recorded from XiaYao . So we draw gua started from the Xia. I have now restored it to the Fuxi era. The 治-rule here is a record, they go to do it. The record is called everyone to do it.
後世聖人易之以書契,
What is the book behind this record, the book is the meaning of engraving, then the deed is combined, one board and one board are combined. Therefore, we have to make a contract, which must be one, two, three, and four. The deeds are grouped together, and the book is written. So I often talk about the HeTu LuoShu, the book is engraved, engraved with the tools used in the Black Pottery era, with a large pottery. This tool, the black pottery culture is more than 300 kilometers away from Jinan City. I originally wanted to take pictures. But need the highest department in the country to be approved by the central government. I said that if i could have one piece of it. He said no, we have numbers.
百官以治,
I often talk about our society, a dispute over the status of the ethnic group. From the Yellow Emperor, after Fuxi, there was a class.
萬民以察，蓋取諸<夬>
The meaning of obedience is to accept obedience and support. From the Yijing, called Zetian Juei 夬, from this perspective, our politics, our society, is the case. In the end, in the 20th year of the Meiji period, when Japan was in the Han culture, this study was very good. But it does not have a palace, he directly speaks with the Zhou dynasty gua, this is our politics, recorded by the Zhou Dynasty. When we were the people of the people, it was Ze Tian Juei. When the Japanese Meiji 25 years, some scholars said that Ze Tian Juei was called a tiger to kill the night. For Taiwanese people, it was called a dog bark at the train. The farmers did not see the train. Say, my grandmother era has not seen the train, it is helpless, politics is like this. Confucius said this. Three helplessness was in the Japanese era, the Taiwanese elders, I have accepted that the dog barking at the train is close to the place where there is a train, the hard work of working for others, pushing the goods, these people know that politicians are rampant, our people just like a dog barking on a train, it doesn't work at all, even the sound is smaller than the sound of the train.
This is 夬. So why do many people leave the political arena when they learn the Book of Changes, Zhu Gaozheng is very unsatisfied because of the defeat, and said that big politics is a clever trick, because he can't do it, so he goes to study the Yijing. The final study is to go to the divination. Finally, he also said loudly that he was the 18th generation of Zhu Xi.
是故，易者象也，像也
That is to say, this record, just like we have to explain how our gua from where, I want to draw this thing, Fuxi painting, in my research, I think it is not painting, here is the ancient knot rope, the knot It’s not a rope, it’s a vine. You can explain it by putting together the vines. No, but if I say this, it’s useless to say so. I have to draw a picture and draw the pattern. Everyone knows that this thing has three sticks. The tool is called gua, like the meaning of the pattern, or this thing.
彖者材也
My pattern is tied to the trunk with vines. This is called the material, and also the money.
爻也者，效天下之動也.
You have to understand. When Fuxi makes a record on the wood with stones, the wood will shake, and the wood must be supported by two people on both sides. His servant must be supported, and you can knock on them if you grasp them tie. The stick turned it over, but the method was more uniform. He may know that but he does not know how to express it. The 效-effect is to stabilize it with the service of the servant. It can also be said. But those who explain the Book of Changes have never said this before. Who must hold down the effect? It works for this Yao. Be sure to hold it, then its record can be continued.
是故吉凶生而悔吝著也
so, the record is there.
