Zhou Yi-book of change explanation (100)
易之為書也，廣大悉備，有天道焉，有人道焉，有地道焉，兼三材而兩之，故六。
Heaven, humanity, and authenticity, in the 600 BC, these three materials were used here. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, some people used Confucius and everything to create a name called Consistent Tao. In fact, the Tao itself is very important. With Confucius's things to explain Laozi's things, and Confucius's materialism to explain Laozi's “heaven and man are one”, Laozi is more ideal. Laozi's time is three or forty years earlier than Confucius. Confucius used to visit Laozi, so Laozi actually said that heaven, people, and land, Laozi is the first person talked about it. Laozi said very early on Tao and the law, the earth and the law, the heaven and the law, the Taoist nature, this is what Laozi said, and the Confucius ate a lot of pork, his memory is super good, he talks to those people, he remembers, when speaking to the students, the students have been recorded, and turned into something that Laozi said as a Confucius. Confucius recorded it into three materials. It can be seen that Laozi’s mode of thinking is used by Confucius. After using it, he can explain it and use it to explain things well. Zhou Xi’s use of Zhou Yi as a divination, this makes sense, from Laozi, Confucius and Zhu Xi, the whole turns, turned into divination.
故六. Therefore, six
The three materials each have a yin and a yang, so they become six. How is the six set up? Simply go up and turn into six Yao.
六者，非它也，三材之道也 Six, nothing else, is the three material
Because the three materials, each material has yin and yang, it produces trigram, then the eight gua will produce when two together, when any one of the trigram is overlapped with the other trigram, just eight time eight become sixty-four.
Then what these 64 hexagram talking about , use the six Yao 爻 to explain, it came out, from the trigram to produce 64 hexagram, turned it by Confucius's three material and six Yao. You see that there are 64 Yao 爻 in the sixty four gua, only right trigram in the three materials, three materials and two, each one is a yang and a yin, equal to two times the third, equal to 8, this is trigram, then 64 hexagram using six Yao, same is true with two-yin and yang, there is no record, then the sixth power of 2 is 64.
Three materials and two, that is, each material has yin and yang, with 2 three materials equal to trigram, with 6, he did not talk about two, has already hinted at the two before, 6 Yao explanation is two, is yin and yang, 2 Six times, six Yao came out just 64 hexagram, Confucius said such a complete explanation.
In fact, we did not really understand the Book of Changes in the five divine art. Everyone thinks that fortune telling is from the Book of Changes. We don't object it, but the fortune-tellers don't read the Book of Changes, and they don't know how to read them. Very spiritual, he knows that it is Wen Wang gua, but he may not know how it comes from, but Confucius said so clearly. BaoXi speaks a little in front, and the latter is awesome. He put the three materials of Laozi on him and turned it into something he said. The two are yin and yang, the heavens have yin and yang, the humanity has yin and yang, men and women, and there are authentic Yin and Yang, day and night. In this way, put this yin and yang on the fixed point, and then come back to the third time, heaven, humanity, and authenticity. The third times is equal to the trigram.
The three materials are trigram, and the 64 hexagram is from the trigram. Sixth, because of the six Yao, it is 64, which is from the Eight trigram.
道有變動，故曰爻。爻有等，故曰物
物 is things, why do many people who study Zhou Yi admire Zhu Xi very much, because Zhu Xi made it a divination, why do you want to do divination? There is something to be divination! What do you have to when there is nothing to do? Therefore, when he was determined it to be divination, he set the six Yao set as a brother. This is a man. He is a man, a brother, a wife, a parent, a grandson, and a ghost. Only the official and ghost, the ghost is not a person, even the official is a person, the official is a certain person, is the ghost? Are all talking about person, I think this is a very simple thing.
Division is a theory of idealism. The study of division should be read from Zhou Yi. To real understand fortune telling. What is going on in Zhou Yi? Read it clearly. In fact, Zhou Yi itself is talking about the relationship between people and things. The reason of things, why the sky will rain, how the rice will grow up, how the trees will bloom, are all about these natural reasons, so it evolved from this reason to the truth of human existence, and finally to the time of divination. People-centered, must be people-centered,then the brothers, parents, wives, grandchildren, and ghosts are set in the center. The official ghost is not only right and wrong, but also fame, that is, where is your position, when you are an official or a ghost, a ghost is not a dead thing, a little ghost is rebellious, an official is opposed, an illegal, a ghost is not a dead thing. It is a bad thing, something that does not help me is called a ghost.
This is the most important concept in our divination, especially in Zhouyi. Are all alive, brothers, wives, and if there is no activity in the money, can you buy things? You are going to buy a house, the money is going to move, is the descendant dead? Not all in the grave, he is alive, so why am I for our culture, for more than 60 years, spare no effort, ruined all of my money, has been interpreting it, let everyone accept, because I think the existence of this culture, I have always stressed that we, the Han nationality, now account for one-third of the world if it includes related bloodlines. Because there are many, such as Korea, Japan, and Singapore, there are tens of millions of overseas Chinese. You see the National Geographic Channel in the process of reporting Zheng He’s voyages to the Western Ocean. Zheng He went to Africa during the Ming Dynasty. Black Africans took out a bowl and burned it out of the famous kiln of the royalty. When the Zhu Li era it was burned out, they used the bowl as a treasure of the family. Although they were dilapidated, they could not protect them. If this is the case, even Africa has our blood. You think about it, there is no way to imagine it. Where are the problems of our cultural group? There is this most perfect theory of the Book of Changes, the theory of materialism. The theory of induction is a rather remarkable theory.
I think the induction of this thing is sometimes decades, or hundreds of years later. Even after tens of millions of years, you may have this phenomenon now, maybe after tens of millions of years, decades later, when this phenomenon comes out, or when you create this phenomenon, it will affect decades later.
