Trigram application Marriage (1)

(Dr.Chen Yikui)

Studying the whole system of human beings and studying the survival patterns of each tribe of the Chinese people has a formal method. There must be an axis that can be explained together, so the marriage is placed in the Gua. When arrived in the Han Dynasty, it had to use the sedan chair when got married. When the bride came out, had to cover the top of head with the rice screen and couldn’t show it to the sky. This is a ceremony. There were many factions from the ceremony after the Han Dynasty, and the pattern of the marriage in the post-Tang Dynasty went to the eight-character not Gua.

After the Song Dynasty thought that the use of eight characters to create marital problems, its purpose is the opposite, mainly male students, when any girl with eight characters, the girl probably has to agree to be managed, parents will agree to this this girl cames into this house. Therefore, the problem of marriage after the Song Dynasty, regardless of the girl's character, the first question is very serious, if you do not have a formal official in the eight characters, you have no name to be a family as wife. This setting is too serious. It affects the fact that there were many social situations in Taiwan. It is the era that affected my grandmother. At that time, it was the time of the Qing Dynasty, and the women of that era all reported the fake characters. They have to ask the fortune-telling person. Can my daughter marry in the future. At that time, she was afraid that her daughter would not marry, so the fortune teller said that she would change to what day. The up and down is probably a few days away. It’s just a matter of changing a character in eight characters. Not change the time, because you change a day or two, or the next day or two, when the day is not the same, you have the official. Probably all did this way.

So in the course of my research, I found that marriage would be very tired under this kind of mode. How tired was it? At that time, Taiwan came down from my grandmother. The Taiwanese’s  education on marriage was polarized. If the two people had a common effort, they would not necessarily have to fall in love or be in love. When they can work together, this is very beautiful. A marriage is called holding hands. Taiwanese say that marriage is a kind of hand-in-hand meaning that they support each other. This is the category, marriage is dominated by men, can marry one or more and there were both. I was most interested in love feelings in my school days. High school students are probably very interested in love feelings, but they are not interested in being scared to kill one as they are now.

I have studied so many years, the way men and women accept is not the same. Women are probably very conservative in our time. When they want to marry a husband, it was like endorse in jobs. It is necessary to adapt to the work of the mother-in-law side, including ecology, so that it has always evolved, and in the past if you were marrying in, if your husband is not contentious among the children under your mother-in-law, it is very difficult for you to be a wife, it is very difficult to through the day, it is useless although your husband protect you every day.

I also deal with a large family in Taoyuan County with serious marital problems. They all use God or eight characters to deal with it. It is useless. You must use Gua. When you use it, they must move out. This is a prerequisite. It means that you have to move out and live in a certain way with the house.

The setting of Gua is a very harmonious, like the positioning of heaven and earth, the heaven is Qian, Kun is Kun trigram, Kun is three yin lines, Qian three yang lines, the combination of each group is three yin and three yang, marriage is a harmonious way is not to be strong in any aspect, but to have a high social status. These are not.

I think that if the marriage will be happy, it may be necessary to return to the Zhou Dynasty when the practice was to use Gua. The Zhou Dynasty’s use of the Gua gwas probably with year. The most successful one, the most famous marriage, was also written in the historical records. It is the love between Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun.

When I was doing social work, many women would come and ask me  if I do fortune-telling. In the end, I didn’t use the eight characters to decide whether he could be happy. Instead, used the boy’s Gua, where the door should be, and where the toilet was placed to decided that, after six years of living can know that your happiness is or not. If you live in the wrong direction, the boy will change after six years. After that, the husband and wife will not be harmonized, so the Chinese have a sentence called the seven-year itch. Probably from here.
