Yi Jing monograph (19)Accepting good things from outside
We have eight trigram throughout the Gua, but it was not completed by the Fuxi era. It was after decades, centuries, and thousands of years. Every tribe has its own characteristics. It like that the tribe’s method of taking fire may be rubbing with a rattan or rubbing a rope to rub out the fire. Historically, it was said that the wood was fired, but it was also possible to use a rope to rub the fire. Found that from where? It has now been found in Africa that the way to get fire is to rub the barrel with a rope to make it catch fire. So how do you record this method? Of course, you should use a shape, two pieces of wood. If you use friction, your feet stand on top of a piece of wood. The wood in the middle is pulled with a rope, and it is pulled all the way. This way, you can make a fire.
If you use a kind of flint to catch the fire, you should put the grass in the middle, hit the knock in the middle to get the fire, use this record, and the record is thrown there. If you are afraid of the heavy rain, you will tie this record and hang it up. Hanging on the tree, when the rain is raining, it will not soak in the water, with the water will not rub for fire. Hang it up, take it off when you are going to take the fire, get it after couple rub fired. It is a tool.
Then this explanation is a step-by-step discussion. So at the time, this explanation did not talk about Yin and Yang. I didn’t say whether it was yin or yang. It was later in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. When yin and yang were really popular, it was probably AD. In the first seven or eight hundred years, two or three hundred years before the Buddha, the issue of yin and yang was mentioned.
However, Zhou Yi’s own way of talking about yin and yang is different from the yin and yang method that we talked about later. Later, it is about yin and yang, and Zhou Yi is about nine and six. It seems that the one that was not rubbed by the rope was six, and the two sides were nine. This was produced during the Zhou Yi, and it was not in the age of Fuxi.
Fuxi uses tools and symbols to create a convenient way. It like when I want to get there to get grass or food, I should go there and go to the swamp to catch the sambar and buffalo... In the nomadic life I know, it gradually stabilized when arrived at Fuxi. He was the culture of the tribes that ruled the ancient times, and they all gathered in his big tribe, so he succeeded in history.
Therefore, in this way, in our current history, if Taiwan does not want to be named in the entire international history, it is very simple. Stop accepting the foreign cultures. Naturally, there is no name. why? You must have a good foreign culture to come in, then the name of Taiwan can exist. You look at the MRT coming in. When foreign culture comes in, there is a name. Our MRT Siemens, Siemens said that Taiwan also has our stuff. They will record that Siemens has made several cars in Taiwan. This history must be recorded. Then the Muzha line is French. Many people are saying that the earthquake in Taiwan is shaking and swinging. Why do you want to build the 101 building? I just want you to know that building a building with the power of the Republic of China itself cannot be overwritten. The first one do not know how to design, the second do not know elevator, the elevators will be imported, we do not know how! If this is the case, The entire design and earthquake standards of our 101 building use the most famous Hong Kong Central Building, Japan's Kumagai, and the 101 building done. So the world's first magazine came to shoot the whole building. Taiwan is the world's tallest building with 508 meters. It was once the world's tallest building, and the world's record exists.
In the past, the success of the ancients was able to be named in history. You must have a culture of the merits of others. Get your side, let your people, let your compatriots use it together, then your record in this history will exist. Qian Shihuang, Zhou Gong, Zhou Wenwang's Zhou Yi 64 hexagram were all in the Zhou Dynasty? No. He applied the entire Shang Dynasty to the operation of the Shang Dynasty, and used the lost and non-adopted by the Shang Dynasty government. Some cultures are not liked by the government.
Then if there is a place, it is good to be able to accept this very good thing and use it very well, it will exist.
You must borrow the good from outside people, the culture that the world can exist is used by you, and your own history can exist. Fuxi is doing this. Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty also did it. The lost and leftover of the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the main culture of the Shang Dynasty, and it was destroyed the tortoiseshell and the bones of the divination. Putting together the existing small tribes of the folk tribes, you may get together, you may get together 62 hexagram, two less, and then invent two hexagram, become 64, ah it can be done! I don't believe that there are only Qian and Kun, in fact, other Gua are not in conformity with what they have written. So it doesn't matter if it doesn't match. Anyway, I collect it, it doesn't suit your own use. As we used to go through the raft in the country, do you know if you can wear rafts 24 hours a day? No way! So why do foreigners bring shoes, and no one wearing rafts, how expensive is the shoes at that time! Women's leather shoes are super expensive. According to the ratio at the time, a woman has 7 yuan a day, and a pair of shoes was about 100 Yuan. Therefore, when wearing leather shoes and going out to the northwest rain, it doesn't matter if the body gets wet, the shoes can't be drenched in the rain and run barefoot back home, if everyone refused shoes at the time, what Taiwan will be now? Not good.
This is a matter of concept. Everyone is opposed. They have not studied the whole process of the Yijing itself. They cannot say that fortune telling is superstition. Fortune telling is also a culture, a different form of expression.
