Yi Jing Monograph (1)The overviews
What hangs it there, how can this thing hang there? It is a kind of representative. There is a very famous person named Lin Yutang. When he was learning English, he wrote the English words and saw the electric fan. He posted the sticker on the electric fan. This way, when he saw the electricity fan he saw the English, so Lin Yutang’s English work was so good. Foreigners always thought that he knew more vocabulary than foreigners. What is the problem? It is a sticker. The Chinese did not have poster before. More than 6,000 years ago, there was nothing to post, so I had to use hanging. The symbol hanging on it was Gua. You have to hang it out, you have to express what Gua you want to hang in our area? The leader should be very clear, where is the mark hanging?
The Chinese studied the basis of these five techniques, as if the Gua was hanging at that time, a piece of wood, a bamboo and a piece of wood, made up with vines, I want to roast pigs here, where is this Gua? ? There are two time to talk. When I want to roast, it’s just in the evening. There are a few stars in the sky. You look at the place where the leader chief is. There are a few stars in this place. This place is where to hanging it there. It is called the sense of direction, and the Chinese make decisions with the place where they stand. Where is the east? In the place where you are standing now, see the sun coming out there. This is the east side, not the absolute east side there, the east side is Hualien, no. If you stand in Taitung, then Hualien is north, not east. Therefore, the education we have used in the past generations is to use people themselves to make decisions, and people-oriented concepts.
At the beginning, there is no sense of direction in the Gua itself. There is only a sense of symbol. This Gua represents the sky. This Gua represents the Buddha. If you go in the direction of the Gua, it means the mountain. This Gua is the direction that represents the swamp. This Gua represents when it represents what is it. A piece of land, plain, Kun, it was originally this symbol.
Where is this Gua hanging? Not hanging in the house, there was no house before, how to prove that there is no house, in 4477 AD, there was no house in the Fuxi era, when did the house started? When our historical records recorded in the Yellow Emperor, they began to teach people to build palaces and build houses. So what did they live in before? I didn’t even have a hut. I lived in a tree or a cave and lived everywhere. So if I live in this cave, when I am the chief, why are you hanging Gua? Of course, it is hanging outside the cave to do some activities, it is impossible to do activities in the cave. Take a branch and burn it in the cave, at the end the pig is still not cooked, and everyone is smoked to dead.
Then the feeling of the previous direction is like this. The sun comes out. When it is night, you can't see the sun. You don't know where the east is. Then you have to make a symbol, what symbol? Look at the symbols of the sky, also in this tribe, from the place of the chieftain to see the symbols of the sky, he said that there are three stars and eight trees on the side, since there are three stars, as long as you look over there, the sun will come out from there tomorrow morning, and if you pass this record down later, three or eight are wood, the east is wood, and the east is the sun.
At the end of the day, there is a flaw. When it is in operation, it was the time of the Zhou Dynasty. The emperor is the sun, the emperor is Zhen, and the east is the Zhen. This is an expression in the natural ecology. Then use this expression to spread to the present, now you see if there are three stars in the east, are there eight trees? No, it was when recorded it at that time. I borrowed it and used it. The whole thing has been followed, and it has made it all very well know. But the Chinese are really smart. Where is the cleverness? The well of the self-explanatory explanation is so great, which produces the theorem. This theorem has produced a very important position and theory in China's history of living culture system. What is the trigram and the HeTu , LuoShu, they are like this.
Let's put a little mention of the numbers, 1, 6 put together, become water, and then 3, 8 together are wood. 2, 7 together are fire, 4, 9 together are metal, there are several methods, 9 is Qian, Dui, 9, 4, 3, 8 Tain Ze Hou, Lei, 2, 7, 6, 1 Kun, with The logic of this kind puts it together and thinks that the two are coincident. They are naturally matched in the natural environment, and they are the most stable and most suitable for survival at that time.
