Divination (16) The evolution of hexagrams (3)

(Dr. Chen Yi Kui)

When categorizing, use sticks. For long sticks, use rattan, and tie them with a more resilient rattan. Once the rope is worn, the rattan passes through here and hangs it on the trunk. This is called Gua. This is dry wood. The branches cannot be carved. The sharpest stones of the Neolithic era are used to engrave these patterns on black pottery, including those books. They were first discovered in Shandong. The era was about 20,000 years ago, so it was earlier than Fuxi. After three thousand years of accumulation, at that time Fuxi carve the records of the book including the pictures. How many sticks can be carved? too much. A very long stick is very light. This stick is called Yao. The upper, middle, and lower yao, what is the yao? Adjectives, use adjectives instead of nouns. You need to know that three such big sticks, hanging there, will they shake? Will definitely shake it. Will shake you how to hit, carve, can't carve, why! Ask two subordinates to grab it with their hands. I am here as a leader, so why do you write this, one hand and another, this is how the line came about. It uses adjectives as nouns, and this kind of thing is called a book. Using adjectives as nouns is called a book. A picture is originally that kind of noun. What kind of book does our book look like? Does Chuan have a picture? No. Describe it with a mark, turn it into a noun, put this description on paper, this is called a book.

There are lines and cracks on the cliffs on both sides of the river. This is called the upper part of the lines, the upper part and the lower part are like this, and the lower lines are called the book. So, is the line a picture or a book? book. Then Fuxi took things down, there were pictures and books, but the line is a book, what is a stick? Of course it is a picture, but it is called a book when explaining that the stick does not move.

Therefore, Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen You Xu Hai called Shu-book, the mouse, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the chicken, the dog, and the pig called Tu-images . So our hexagram and the book are all together. It’s amazing. This is the Book of Changes. Why can divination in the hexagram, because it is produced by combining the Hetu Luoshu together, it seems that the whole universe is dominated by the picture and the book, as long as you figure out the picture and the book, what solar terms will be classified or what kind of words are book an images, Zi Chou Yin Mao, we are in the divination process, it all uses the month order! Isn't it a book? What everyone needs to understand is that many people ask why cows use the word Chou, why mice use the wordZi, and why? This is two series, two nouns. Because the mouse is used by the mouse, one picture is a book, and the other picture is a real object. The book is an imaginary thing, and they are combined in this way. We have a great Chinese culture. If every word is a book. There must be a picture in it. If there is a picture, there will be a book. So our text is a combination of pictures and books. River sees this word as a book, but when you see the real  river is a picture, why do you have to go to the scene to read Feng Shui? Because we look at pictures, we can’t read books, so if you look at Feng Shui books for 10,000 copies, you won’t Look at Feng Shui, because you didn't look at the pictures, you just read the book and don't understand the pictures, you can't. So we are studying Zi Chouyin Maochen Mi’s no time to apply for You Xuhai, you don’t know what a mouse looks like, because you know books but not pictures.

When my son was young, I took him to my cousin’s house. At that time, in the 66 or 67 years of the Republic of China, my cousin’s family farmed a large area of ​​land and their family raised a cow. When my son went there, my son was very happy. Because he was often locked up at home and there was nothing to play with, he was very happy when he ran over there. There were a lot of things. After an hour, he came back pale and said that he saw a dog. I said, what's so scary about the dog, how old is it? Is taller than him, I immediately asked my cousin, do you have a dog in your family? No. Pug or Taiwanese native dog? No. How could he find a dog taller than him, and the whole family moved out. The dog he was referring to turned out to be a cow, because he had never seen a cow.

Why do I want to promote our culture actively? First, everyone is just memorizing things. HeTu LuoShu but don’t know what HeTu is. All the old books of I Ching and Feng Shui In order to write a HeTu LuoShu, some use circles. Some of the circles are round, a horse is drawn like a horse but not like a dog, and some people are drawn like a turtle not like a tortoise. This will explain the past, and the two pages of Hetu LuoShu explanation then pass it. It’s not what everyone thinks, I have to use this to explain, but it’s still not complete.

In this way, you can explain why the hexagram has Yao, and there is the definition of Yao. In the Zhou Dynasty, because there were too many hexagrams, each tribe had a record, so it was handed down, and it was also used in Shennong, Shennong also used stones to record all the things that can be eaten, recorded in these eight trigrams, so it has the characteristics of each tribe. Towards the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou Wen included his good friends. In fact, in our Conferred God Romance, it was written as Jiang Taigong. He was also the chief of a tribe. He wanted to represent a tribe, called the Qiang tribe. The Qiang nationality is in southern Sichuan, and the culture of the Qiang nationality is still there. Their Shiji cultural stone culture is still there. They will make the village where they live in a square shape like a chimney, layer by layer, which can be as high as a dozen stories high. The problem can be as high as forty meters, and every structural point of it will not fall in an earthquake. This is an amazing stone culture.

In fact, what was recorded at that time, there was something written in the novel. In the Romance of the Conferred Gods, it was said that Jiang Taigong was the chief of a clan leading the clan. He was able to cooperate with Zhou Jidan of Zhou Wenwang to bring the Shang Dynasty down, and finally the whole In the end, although the Zhou Dynasty could last for 820 years, the local princes all became one country, so in the second half, the Zhou Dynasty was called the Warring States Period. The Warring States had seven great powers, called the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and there were seven great countries. The war is endless and the economy is pretty good. Why? The Zhou Dynasty was not a real agricultural society. It was very successful in animal husbandry. Why? The more warriors die, the happier the animals live. Why? You won't eat my meat, so their economy will not go down, and their livestock will live a good life. After 300 years of war, the economy will not go bankrupt. The Republic of China went bankrupt in the eighth year of the Anti-Japanese War and fled to Taiwan. Why did the economy go bankrupt in the eighth year of the War of Resistance? Everyone went to fight the guerrillas. There were no human races in the fields. Jiang Gong came again and ordered the scorched earth policy to blow up the embankment of the Yellow River, the most fertile rice production line. The whole area was flooded, and half of Henan was flooded. The rice-producing area was from Kaifeng In the center, if it is half flooded, will it be poor? After the flooding, those people have no food to eat, then go to the rear! Everyone ran to the big rear, where is the big rear? It is Sichuan. When Chiang Kai-shek went to Chongqing, he became the governor of Sichuan province. He was the chairman of the military committee and governor of Sichuan province.

Talking about our culture, especially the Yijing culture, because when Mao Zedong produced the Cultural Revolution, news came from Hong Kong to Taiwan, our Jiang Zhongzheng had the opportunity to immediately convene more than 1,000 delegates to the National Congress for a temporary meeting, Chinese culture, so The Commission for the Renaissance of Chinese Culture was created, and the president became the chairman of the board. It’s awful. What is going to be revived? do not know. Then it settled down. When President Chiang Kai-shek was the chairman, and finally after President Chiang Kai-shek died, Yan Jiagan was the chairman. After Yan Jiagan died, Chiang Ching-kuo was the president of the Executive Yuan, Yan Jiagan was the vice president, and when he finally elected the president, Chiang Ching-kuo was elected back to the president. Yan Jiagan withdrew. When Chiang Ching-kuo became president, he called Chen Lifu the chairman.

Then the Chinese Cultural Renaissance Committee, in 1970, in the sixty years of the Republic of China, before Jiang was about to die, he had to understand the basis of Chinese culture, and asked Qian Mu, a great knowledgeable expert. Jiang summoned him to the presidential palace. Where is the foundation of our greatest culture? Qian Mu told him it was the Book of Changes. Okay, then quickly ask others to talk about the Book of Changes. All the old legislators at the central level and the old country will have a class on the Book of Changes every week. There is a Chinese Culture Building in the third section of Chongqing South Road. Professor Zhou Dingheng is invited to teach. Professor Zhou Dingheng was magnificent and his voice was magnificent. There were more than two hundred legislators and four to five hundred representatives of the National Congress sitting there and listening, all of whom did not understand the Book of Changes. So I feel that when studying this system, I feel sad that the ruler does not know the culture, only knows the war, only knows the seizure of power. Because when we do not understand our basic culture, it is difficult to form a sovereign and independent country.

By the time of the Zhou Dynasty, he thought that every region and every tribe had atrigram, which was not enough in the end, so he put the trigram of each tribe into his own trigram and turned into eight or sixty-four hexagram, starting from heaven and earth, and going back. Reading the first chapter of the Zhouyi is doing things for the sky, starting with the heavens and the earth, and continuing to talk about the benefits of the economy, and the 64 hexagrams are finished. After the lecture, it was bad. The people in the back slowly explained the trigram, including explaining each line. Therefore, the line has a saying, an image, and finally a Confucius saying. What Confucius talks about is just a concept, and he becomes talking about the concept of spirit, the concept of a person's spirit, at that time there was no human rights but only classes. At that time, it was amazing to be able to speak these exegetical words at the same time. Under the imperial system, he dared to say these words without being beheaded. This was great from an objective standpoint, but these words that Mao Zedong scolded were useless. Confucius used moral persuasion to tell leaders to love the people and worship the grassland. The worship that he said is not to worship the gods, but to worship the ancestors. This is a great place in Confucianism, because every ancestor has his own characteristics, and he is amazing. Why is he so stupid because of being suppressed by those who preside over politics, disrespecting others, and letting his ancestors kill people. So what is said inside is quite good. He said that the minister will kill the emperor or the son will kill the father. Now it has happened. Grandchildren killing grandpa and son killing dad did not happen overnight. It was because the leader did not do a good job of what Old Master Confucius said.

You must use pictures for identification, use books for expression, express your emotions, and express your ideas with books. Put this thing into the Book of Changes, which later evolved into the Book of Changes. After the Book of Changes arrived in the Song Dynasty, the divination was used. If it becomes induction, why induction? Think about all our data from the Stone Age, 100,000 years ago to the present. Of course, we can feel it. How does it become induction? It is the whole intangible, that is, the invisible energies, including our genes, including our ancestors’ inspiration, are therefore accurate. The induction of hexagrams is in you, so hexagrams divination must be divination by yourself, not for your teacher.
