Introduction to divination(1)

(Dr. Chen Yi Kui)

Divination-Bu-is the most difficult, the simplest, and also the earliest in history. To what extent is this Bu? The earliest in the Shang Dynasty, the induction of the Shang Dynasty was with the entire universe, using fire to roast, including the most famous is the bronze period when the needle was drilled to roast the cow bone, let it burst, and the cracked pattern was engraved on the tortoise shell. Therefore, before the Shang Dynasty, there were two things, one was cow bone, and the other was turtle shell. The Turtle Shell has just begun to have records in historical records. At that time, no one believed that, especially in Britain, the British should have a basis for studying history. Therefore, British archaeology is famous in the world. It must step by step. For Chinese people, the earliest is at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the medicines taken were Chinese medicines, Chinese medicines were Han medicines, and the characters were Han characters, so the things to study China abroad were called sinologists. We used to speak about the Chinese word only in the Sun Yat-sen era. It was not called China. It used to be abroad, especially in the United Kingdom, France, and other countries. It is said that the country in this region of China is called "Mandelin." Now it is in Vancouver. Mandelin is also popular, you are Chinese, not China. So what was China before? Called porcelain. In fact, our culture should be in accordance with the whole world. Our culture is called Han culture.

My research method is quite different. In the Shang Dynasty cattle bones and turtles were used. The turtle shell is a record, the cow bone is a form, Bu this thing, through the universe to sense this matter, explained by the priest, Bu Gua is to explain, and then carved it, foreigners did not accept this culture before, why? Because the historical record has been written for so long, nearly two thousand years, how do you know that this record is true.

It didn't expect Liu Oe to appear in the Republic of China in 1914. Liu E wrote the travel notes of Lao Can because he was taught by a Chinese medicine doctor holding a bell in Jinan. In the past, droctor and medicine were divided. So why in Taiwan, the former doctor would earn so much money, after the doctor finished the doctor, he asked the nurse to pack the medicine for him, and the treatment money and medicine were collected. Now, with health insurance, the division of medicine is started.

Liu E will be able to see a doctor and write a prescription, but didn’t know what Chinese medicine looks like. People who made medicine only know how to make medicine, he doesn’t know how to treat a person. Now selling medicines is selling medicines, seeing the doctors is just seeing the doctors. One day he thinks that this kind of person must have a turtle shell. How much is needed? After he went to Jinan to buy it, the person gave it to him. Liu E knows how to be a Chinese medicine doctor. He has not studied with any Chinese doctor. His ancestors of traditional Chinese medicine passed down to him. He was educated in the West, and he was also educated in Western concepts. He looked at how traditional Chinese medicine would look like this, and how could there be words in the turtle shell. Because he had a higher education, he was very good with Yuan Shikai, and was finally killed by Yuan Shikai. Immediately track down where you bought it, and finally go to the Yinshang place in Henan. Finally, he sold his property, dug treasures and turtles, and finally dug 300,000 pieces, but he can sort out about 10,000 pieces. The person who can draw the picture draws it down, writes down the words he understands next to it, and then comes out a book called Tieyun Zanggui. After this book came out, it caused a sensation in the world.

After the sensation, the history of China was pushed forward for a thousand years. According to the method of sinologists, the identification of a special archaeologist. This product has been 3,000 years since the present. Because he wrote this book, he produced an amazing Oracle bone scientist Dong Zuobin, he has also published it. In the end, Dong Zuobin's research also used tortoise shells. Of course, he didn't dig the shells himself, did not go to archaeology, he also used Liu E's set of turtle plates to get it.

So we heard that there are only 300 pieces left in the National Palace Museum, why? Because it is the treasure of the world sensation, it will be stolen. So we have less than a few pieces left in the Forbidden City, but fortunately, because of the development of photography, it is magnified with a very good camera. If you go to see Oracle, it will be enlarged to full-open paper. This is The earliest Bu.

When it evolved into the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty's Bu was completely changed. The way Zhou's Bu was changed was called Shi Cao. It used the induction method to sacrifice the sky first. It was not the same as our current Bu Gua. My earliest contact with divination was in 1951 (forty years of the Republic of China), and had divination in Taiwan from Keelung to Hengchun. However, every way of divining has its own characteristics. There are two major series. One is to say that your client is divining. I explain it, and some tell me the date of birth, the name, and I come to divine. I'll explain how you are myself. Probably Taiwan has these two. But it is not the use of milfoil, because milfoil is extinct, so how does this milfoil become extinct? When Qu Yuan wrote about Li Sao, it was not used at that time, and this level of divination was not used. Why did not use it at that time? In Qu Yuan's time, there was divination, but why was it not used? Because the grass is gone, what does the grass look like? I do not know either. Therefore, Shi Cao may have disappeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, because in the Warring States period, Confucius he did not talk about divination, because there are no tools for divination, what Confucius can explain? May I ask what Confucius taught? Confucius Laozi didn’t teach divination, he told others to run, Confucius taught others to escape. Otherwise, you will accept it, and your mentality will change, that is, if the sky is down to you, you will accept it. If not, you run.

It can be seen that before Confucius, the grass was gone at that time, and there was no divination. But the Yin-Yang schools took it for divination. The Yin-Yang school and Confucius divination method in that era, it was not written on the turtle shell but with beef bones, it was with bamboo sticks. Bamboo sticks have a thin bamboo, so now bamboo sticks the fine bamboo has also been transformed into reeds, which are now unbearable. So in the Tang Dynasty, it was cut the bamboo sticks by hand, then in the process of the Tang Dynasty into bamboo sticks, there is another system that really digs out the turtle meat, not cooking the whole turtle and then digging, why? People in the past thought, this turtle can not be cooked, it will not work after cooking. After digging it out and drying it, it burns incense at night to offer sacrifices. After the sacrifice, it is called a tortoise. There are three in the spirit turtle according to its design, because our hexagram has only three lines, and three of them set it, one side is yin and one side is yang. Because every trigram has a yin and yang, put it in the turtle like this, and burn incense quietly, so that it comes out. This is a series. Another series uses bamboo sticks. When the Tang Dynasty monks came to learn the whole Chinese culture, the series they took was the bamboo sticks series.

This is a trigram, and it has evolved until the very famous era is Song. When Zhu Xi thought that he should be moved with the entire universe in the late Song Dynasty, this tool of Bu must be connected with the universe. At that time, there was a set of wood called thunder chop, that is, the wood hit by the thunder, the pearl must be carved first and then come as a thing of Bu. This one is the most difficult. In order to find the tree from the beginning to the end of Taiwan like this, and find the tree that was hit by thunder, I tell you that there are so many legends in the world, and there are so many coincidences in the legend. I probably found it. Can't find it for almost ten years. Then how do I prove that it is the best way to do it? Finally, because I have to take the students once, I will enter the National Taiwan University Experimental Forest from Xitou, and walk all the way from Xitou in Nantou, and come out from Chiayi. Tens of thousands of acres, lost in there, and finally came to Chiayi, a big tree was struck by thunder, great! I thought studying this thing is very simple, bad! That tree belongs to the State-owned Property Bureau. You cannot hack it. You hack it is stealing. I said I need a part of your tree, he asked me what to do with it? I said to study, he asked me what I want to study? I said to study divination.

I know this thing, but how to change it, so I worked very hard. When I was working in Taipei medicine University, I worked hard on food research. There are two major series of food research, one is the Western series, that is Nutrition and ingredients series. The Chinese series is a series of flavors and combinations. What you must put in cooking convolvulus, what you should put in fried convolvulus, and what you should put in if you cook convolvulus soup, these are different, and the taste is different. The effect is different.

Again, you may drink a lot of tea, this kind of tea grows in what place, roasted in such a person, or what kind of roasted tea tastes completely different from the effect, this is the entire system of our Han people. How do I combine them? The price I pay is very high. I am standing at another angle, and standing at another angle different than others. It makes no sense for Chen Yikui to live as this person. Why? Nothing. I don’t know how to dance when I'm a college student. There are many military training instructors in high school. The hair cannot be too long. Too short will say that you are a wolfdog,can not be too short. I once got angry and asked others to shave my head. The glitter like metal, put the oil that my mother fried , the hat was put on, and the instructor walked over and smelled it. When the hat opened, he fainted, no hair is unacceptable either. I went through this era. When I was young, the national army had just retreated. At that time, I was already in the sixth grade of elementary school. I sang a song called Defending Great Taiwan. The last sentence, I said to the teacher, there is a problem with this song. What is the problem? I said that we have nowhere to retreat, so we have to move forward bravely. If there is a place to retreat, do we still retreat? Finally go to the principal immediately, who taught you that? I said nobody! Words written like this! Immediately report to the whole family to check, it is terrible, though I was a spy. So my eldest sister, eldest brother, and second brother hated this country a lot. A child asked you this sentence, it was not a day of inventory, three months was not quiet, and a census in the middle of the night. Check everything under the bed, I have experienced this era. I used to be naughty like this, such pre-seight, we had nowhere to go back, and finally the lyrics were changed. When the United States sent the Seventh Fleet to visit Taiwan in 1952 (41), Change this lyrics, we have nowhere to go back this paragraph, changed to that we should move forward bravely.
