(Dr.Chen Yikui)

易之為書也，原始要終，以為質也

I often talk about eight gua and Yijing. It is materialism. No one can accept it. They think that Confucius is talking about philosophy, in fact it is physics, not philosophy. Is he talking about philosophy or physics? Physics! Is virtual and reality a philosophy? It is physics. Have or no have physics. Because the former divine are too fine, people who study ancient literature, do not need to study physics, chemistry, mathematics, so they do not know what is physics, chemistry, mathematics. Therefore, the Yijing and Confucius are talking about physics, which is the physics of natural life. Such a good physics regards it as metaphysics and philosophy, so how to read it to understand? Why can't it be read? Because these people have not studied physics, chemistry, and mathematics before studying Yijing.

六爻相雜

It is necessary to have this structure mixed together, you have to understand one thing, we use physics, chemistry to undertake this thing, six Yao things, then why do you think of it as a living body, so you can physically. When natural people want to live, they must have sugars, and sugars to give us human beings the right existence, including our activities and all aspects, we must have six carbons. Seven carbons can't, five carbons don't work, three carbons don't work either, there is no way to live, you must have six carbons.

Then, if you use this angle to explore, there are two big systems in six carbons, one is mannose, the other is arabinose, the big system on both sides, one is the system of glucose, and the other is the system of fructose. The two systems, in fact, add up these two sides, there are 16 kinds of six-carbon monosaccharides, then everyone knows that there are eight trigram on this side, eight systems of glucose on the side, eight trigram. Isn't there will be 64 on both sides? They all use six Yao to change, so many people ask me, I said that two gua should be put together, that is, the most perfect sugar is honey. Honey is replaced by two sputum, one is glucose, and the other is fructose, which is represented by monosaccharide. The two add the most perfect honey.

In the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh, the highest level of sputum is not gold, the most advanced food is honey, which is the most basic basis for human survival. Without these two, why the earliest humans must find honey. Because these two can produce 64 gua in whole, the whole complete. So must eat it, and later found that eating honey is not enough. Finally, went to find the source of water and went to find food. Because it contained minerals, it gradually evolved.

So why do humans progress, the first one can exist because of eating honey, the second one eats insects, he did not dare go to hunt mountain pigs, how can hunt the wild pig by just one person, so the earliest eat insects, the earliest people learn from monkeys to eat insects, you have seen the monkey catches the scorpion in the monkey's hair. It is an insect. Finally, it gradually eats other things. The insect supplies protein, eats fruit, and the seeds of rice. This way, it supplies carbohydrates and then eats honey. This will gradually improve, if no insects are eaten. Without eating animal protein, we humans have no way to be established to this day, can be the king of all things, and they may be one of the animals that are deceived by all things.

唯其時物也

It is very clear to tell us that Zhou Yi is not metaphysics, nor is it to theology, nor philosophy. It is a very perfect physics in human cognition.

其初難知

You just don't know at the beginning.

其上易知，本末也

If it is used in the above, or when you go to apply, this is also upside down, originally with the future, can also be the last one, the beginning and the end.

初辭擬之，卒成之終

In the end, it may be the meaning of the completion. We later use 卒 meant die, so in the chess soldiers 卒 and the soldiers 兵 finally died. The 卒 soldiers behind could not always be move front, and they could not move sideway only forward in their own country. When they arrived at other side, then can only be left and right, and can not retreat, until it is dead. So after the Tang Dynasty, when we died, we 卒 and we died. He is not a 兵-soldier, and the 兵-soldiers will die too. So after Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, there is a saying from the common people that the good man is not a soldier, and the good iron is not nailed. This famous saying, the problem lies in our culture, because once you are a soldier, is dead. It is called a dead end, then I am such a good man, how can I go to be a soldier, I will die. Why don't you make a nail with good iron? A nail is also a dead end. It is nailed there, and it will not be able to move until it has decayed for a lifetime, so it will produce our culture. Because our culture sets that road is a dead end, like a soldier, a soldier is a dead end. Our education will produce this kind of education. Good men are not soldiers, and good irons are not nailed. I have been educated in this way. After I have been educated, once those who are going to be soldiers. Either is an idiot, or sinful, entangled, or how, this is what it is.

若夫雜物撰德

撰德-Write and record.

辦是與非，則非其中爻不備。噫，亦要，存亡吉凶

Survival is death and life, good and bad are opposites. Our Gua are all opposites. It seems to say that the Di Tain tai-earth and heaven Tai Gua. The second Gua is the heaven and earth Pi. The thunder and water Jie are the opposite of mountains and water. Transforming opposites.

則居可知矣

You must understand this kind of opposition, including many phenomena.

知者觀其彖辭，則思過半矣

The hexagram is also a kind of record. Every Yao has its saying. It is a record. Then once you understand it and you will know.

二與四，同功而異位，其善不同

Second and fourth, if he talks about his teachings, among the second Yao and the fourth Yao, there are also yin and yang. Generally, there are more auspicious in second Yao, and fourth are innocent-no problem. On the nine-two, you will see the dragon in the field, and the nine-four, are innocent, there will be no trouble.

二多譽，四多懼，近也。
柔之為道不利遠者，其要无咎，其用柔中也

Second,譽 the meaning of reputation, the nine-two see the dragon in the field, to see the great gentleman, this is a reputation. If you are ignorant of the 9-4, this is the meaning of fear. When you look at it from this record, why does Zhu Xi emphasize the ambiguity of Zhou Yi, and it is also a divination. It is so clear in this place, if you have any records, two and four, what happened to it, but after the Song Dynasty, after he put Najia and the earth branch into it, why did he produce a palace? It is able to operate the entire yin and yang five elements. Like the Qian palace is the Palace of the Yangjing, there are eight other Palace. His order is completely different from the order of Zhou Yi. He uses the whole change of the Gua as the order of gua, this is a very interesting phenomenon.

It can be seen that if you want to talk about it, Wu and Zi, here is physics, now it is equal to chemistry, why? Because it is alive, why does it live? Must have its activities, then where does the activity come from? Must come from heat, where does heat come from? From the sugar, the glucose, the fructose, the heat comes here, where is the thing coming from here? From the photosynthesis of plants, these are all talking about chemistry, and one of its operations.

三與五，同功而異位

Nine-five dragons in the sky, the same for good to see the gentleman, then nine-two see the dragon in the field, good to see the gentleman, although good, but not the same, one is the dragon in the sky, one is seeing the dragon in the field, not the same, good but not the same.

三多凶，五多功

Generally, the dragon is in the valley, in water then there is no innocence. It is not good.

貴賤之等也。其柔危，其剛勝邪

The dragon in the sky, the ninety-five, is of course very high rank. You see we don't use the first line dragons, it become law position dragon, can't use them. The ninety-five flying dragons are high in the sky. You are the emperor, the ninety-five, we have a lot of nouns, very famous adjectives, many of them come from Zhou Yi, just now, we have a cart before the end, in the late Spring and Autumn, you can write a rhetoric. The old master said that, and the students wrote the words, he had the beginning and the end, and then there was an inversion. This is an idiom. You do things without that order, or the order is reversed. It is upside down. It is called the end and beginning inversion. Many famous sayings are from Zhou Yizi.
