I Ching Principles (6)
The principle of the Book of Changes itself is to formulate it in a way to survive. The question arises, because the way of survival is different in each era, and your formula may not be usable. Is 1 + 1 equal to 2? I probably know this in elementary school mathematics, but when you reach the level above middle school, this is not applicable, because one person adds a cow to a group, because if a person rides on a cow's back, it is equivalent to riding a cow. A group of competitions, so at a certain level, it has been studied until the last 1 + 1 = 1, or even 1 + 1 = 0, why? Two people killed each other with a sword, and they were gone, and they can be explained from many angles.
A man married a woman and became a husband and wife. The husband and wife gave birth to the eldest boy, the eldest daughter, the middle boy, the middle daughter, the young boy, and the young girl. They gave birth to six, called a family. Then a family plus many families is one tribe. Then a tribe plus another tribe, the place controlled by a lord is called a country, and if you come to this country plus that country, it will be a world. This is Chinese mathematics.
So Yi Jing is taking Chinese mathematics. When Yi Jing turned the whole phenomenon into orientation, 1, 6 are in the water in the north, 4, 9 are from the fire in the south, and 3, 8 are from the wood in the east. 2,7 from Metal in the West, just put it together like this. I personally think this is a cumulative culture, and the Book of Changes itself is called a cumulative culture. Has it changed in the cumulative culture? Yes, it must have a change.
So when we talk about the use of hexagrams in Yijing, we will talk about early trigram and later trigram. The order of the early trigram is not the same as the later trigram, it is not the order of hexagram , which is the order of the hexagrams of the Zhouyi. The whole sequence of the hexagrams is not the same, and the order of the later trigram is also different. At the end of the study, the order of the hexagrams of the Yin House and the Yang House is different.
Because the background of the times is different, Fuxi's drawing hexagrams are called early trigram, Qian Dudu LLi Zhen Xun Kan Gen Kun, but when Xia Yu ruled the water, he regarded Gen as Li a, thinking that the mountain is the most important. Once I meet a mountain I need to dig a hole, otherwise, my water would not flow. He hates mountains the most, and he is most afraid of mountains. Because the water flows around the mountain, all the water will turn when it touches the mountain. It can be seen that in Xia Yu's treatment of the water, the turning of the mountain must be measured before the water can follow the turning of the mountain. Xia Yu cure water has several books on ancient classics in Shui Jing Annotation, such as Shui Jing Annotation, Yi Jing, Shang Shu, Chun Qiu, and Shi Jing.
Shui Jingzhu is very important for the history of the entire local development, but the most emphasized in it is Xia Yu's control of water. In the past, ancient literature research was very good. Ji Xiaolan told stories to Qianlong every day and talked about the problem of water management. He said that an emperor can be stable and stable, and immortal. There are two things. The first is to inherit all cultures. The second is to heal the water of the Yellow River, then you will be immortal. That's why Qianlong asked Ji Xiaolan to sort out the four books, and Ji Xiaolan sorted it out. It was amazing. At the time of the Qing Dynasty, it was the seventeenth century. It was brilliant. This book is incredible. It took 190,000 times to copy it out, and every word is very beautiful.
The second method is to harness water from the Yellow River, so why Qianlong thrived at the same time as Kangxi. Kangxi also made integration of ancient and modern books, which is also a remarkable practice. Kangxi's rectification of cultural background was to leave the good culture of the Ming Dynasty and to remove the bad ones. The most remarkable thing about Kangxi and Qianlong is religion. In the entire Chinese society, since the Han Dynasty, religion has been used, and the army has not been used to fight wars, but too many religions have killed each other in the religion, and religions have killed each other too much since the Han Dynasty. Then came Emperor Liang Wu to restore Buddhism in large quantities, but in the future, it was also practiced to destroy Buddhism. Kangxi and Qianlong are very remarkable. Only by the practices of Kangxi and Qianlong can Tibet be classified as Chinese territory, and if they have such religious practices, can they be able to summarize the Muslims of Xinjiang Uygur and Mongolian groups into China, why? Build a temple for you. Qianxi Kangxi allocated Kuyin to build the Lama Temple, and the lama ’s Buddha is still the highest in the world. Carve a Buddha in wood to worship the Lama. Then, if the Lama does not obey, you will have no food to eat. If you obey, you will have a house to live in and a temple to live in. The incense must be beautiful in your temple! Those ruined temples no ghosts will go! Like a big hotel, a five-star hotel has both heating and cooling. The buffet is full every day. What's the problem? The cbuilding is too beautiful. The Lama Temple is beautifully built and anyone can go.
So you understand that the Yijing must also change, and pick up the accumulated culture and the essence of all tribes, so Qianlong absorbed all the traditional essence, including the essence of Tibet.
So is Qianlong. The Forbidden City of the Republic of China did not move the stone because it could not be moved. At that time, when Japan came to occupy the northeast, as soon as the situation was not right, they moved the things from the Forbidden City to Chongqing. The piece of jade that can't be removed is left in the former palace of Qianlong. Then Qianlong flourished to this extent, indicating that in the place where the Tianshan peoples lived, they were all subject to surrender. Why is surrender? I was able to go to Tianshan, and the largest piece of jade was able to be moved back. He used the finest craftsman, the 16 craftsmen of Dayu to control the water, and it took three years and two months to complete it.
It can be seen that Kangxi was an amazing emperor, who could eliminate the bad culture of the Ming Dynasty and keep the good, especially the words. Like the very famous copybooks since the Han Dynasty, they are left behind, including the whole theory, and you can thrive only when these cultures are kept behind.
