Match Fortune Telling Method _ Is Match Fortune Telling Accurate?

-The most primitive document that records divination methods is Yi Zhuan. The Book of Changes is a general term, which includes ten documents explaining the Book of Changes. These ten documents have always been called "Ten Wings". There is an article "cohesion" in Ten Wings, which explains the method of divination for the first time in history:

The number of big swallows is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty. Split in two, like two, hang one like three, like four, like four, like a leap. Jump at the age of five, so cut it and hang it. Tianyi, second; Tian San, Di Si; Heaven five, earth six; Bati Tianqi; Nine days and ten places. Five days, five places. When five people are combined, the number of days is five out of twenty, the number of places is thirty, and the number of heaven and earth is five out of fifty, and they become ghosts and gods. Six strategies, four strategies, three hundred and sixty, the date of the current period. There are 1,520 policies in two chapters, and the number of things is also. Therefore, "Yi" is made up of four battalions, with ten changes and eighty percent of divination, gossip and small success. Drawing is extended, touching grows, and the ability of the world is completed. Showing God's virtue is a reward and blessing to God. Confucius said, "He who knows the way of change knows what God has done."

Be sure to look carefully! Look carefully!

It is time to test your knowledge of ancient Chinese!

Do you understand?

Can't you? You don't understand, do you This year, some NPC deputies put forward a motion at the two sessions to include the "Four Books and Five Classics" in future civil service examinations. The Book of Changes is one of the Five Classics, so you should study it carefully!

What, don't you get it?

-Don't lose heart, don't feel inferior, don't say that you can't understand it, even the ancient masters of Yi studies can't understand it.

Zhu was one of the top experts who studied Zhouyi in Song Dynasty. When commenting on this passage, he said helplessly: "This passage is about the specific method of divination, but it is too simple! How to play this set of things is probably only known by ancient fortune tellers, and there is no way to verify it now. "

What did Zhu's remarks show? It shows that the discussion of this divination method in the copula is simply incomprehensible. What's more, the convergence is at least hundreds of years later than the Book of Changes, and its statement is not necessarily original.

Think about it, even if this passage in Cohesion is not bad at all, so what? As long as you think about playing cards, it is easy to understand that the simplest way to play cards may be to "catch black A", but can you explain the game "catch black A" to a person who can't play poker at all with 100 words?

For the Book of Changes, people have been facing this problem for more than two thousand years-no one can play "Catch Black A", read the introduction of "Catch Black A" with a hundred words, and no one can understand it.

What can we do? There are ways: how bold people are and how productive the land is; I'm afraid I can't do it, I'm afraid I can't think of it! Hardware decoding also wants to explain this passage!

As a result, this method of divination was interpreted by senior people.

The popular classic explanation is:

First, find fifty or fifty-five yarrow trees.

What is yarrow? -is a kind of grass specially used for divination. It doesn't matter if you don't. You can use toothpicks and matchsticks. I usually use Go, but it's not made of ordinary glass or plastic. It is an advanced jade Go, which is calculated on a delicate cow bone chessboard. I just came to make the deceived fool-the person who came to see me for divination-think that I am very professional and authoritative! Of course, if you play behind closed doors, you can use anything convenient. If you are strong enough, you can also use fifty or fifty-five shots to calculate divination.

So, is it fifty-fifty? Why is there an "or"? Why were you so lax in the first place?

Literally, it is "50", but some experts think it is contradictory to the context. The word "five" falls off after "50", so it should be "55".

Why fifty-five? Isn't eighty-eight more auspicious?

The answer is: fifty-five is the best number of all numbers, much more than eighty-eight! Nowadays, many mobile phone numbers and license plates like to choose "eight", such as "5438". In fact, this is an ignorance of traditional culture. Real experts will choose two "fives"-55 is the so-called "large number".

Our ancestors divided ten numbers from one to ten into "day" and "land", which sounds mysterious, but in fact they are odd and even: "day" is one, three, five, seven and nine, and "land" is two, four, six, eight and ten.

Next, do the math problem:

Add up five days: 1+3+5+7+9 = 25.

Five bits add up: 2+4+6+8+ 10 = 30.

Then add "days" and "land number": 25+30 = 55.

See, this is how the so-called "number of large derivatives" is obtained. It is the sum of "days" and "places".

When the ancients had just had some mathematical experience, they would have a mysterious fascination with numbers, thinking that they contained some mysteries of the universe that we didn't know-we will understand that this psychology is not unique to China when we look at Pythagoras' research in ancient Greece.

The following question is: divination is about to begin. Should I use fifty dollars or fifty-five dollars?

The answer is: it doesn't matter, use as much as you want.

This is not imprecise or irresponsible, but: in practice, only 49 yuan is enough. If you take 50 yuan at first, take one off; If you take fifty-five at first, take six.

Someone will definitely say, "isn't this full?" At first, I just said that it would be over for forty-nine dollars. What's the big deal? " ! "

The ancients were not satisfied. They think this is mysterious and symbolic, or because of the convenience of technical operation. We don't care that much. Anyway, just remember that the actual divination is 49 yuan. You'd better find out forty-nine dollars or something and calculate it according to my following steps.

Now begin the first step of divination: divide 49 pieces into left and right groups randomly. Don't underestimate such a simple grouping, which has profound symbolic significance and symbolizes the beginning of chaos and the division of heaven and earth. Thus, these two sets of chess pieces, one symbolizing the sky and the other symbolizing the earth.

Step two: heaven and earth are here. Is it time to find someone?

Yes, any group can take 1 piece (some people say that it can only be taken from the group to the right of the sign bit). This work symbolizes people. In this way, heaven, earth and people are all there. Our ancestors called these three things "three talents".

Figure -3 points "three talents"

Step 3: Count the number of pieces symbolizing the sky, and divide this number by 4 to see what the remainder is.

When any number is divisible by 4, there are only four possibilities for the remainder: 1, 2,3, divisible.

In case of division, let's take the remainder as 4. Okay, now take the rest away.

For example, if there are 20 pieces in this group, then: 20 ÷ 4 = 5, and there is no remainder, then we will take 4 as the remainder and remove 4 pieces from these 20 pieces.

Some people will ask, "Why divide by 4? How unlucky this number is! Why not divide by 8? "

The answer is: this is also symbolic, and 4 symbolizes the four seasons of the year here. This symbolic statement should not be earlier than the Zhou Dynasty, because there are no four seasons in the Shang society, only two. It seems that the ancients of that era did not think that the number 4 was unlucky, because the whole divination process of Zhouyi was carried out around 4.

Step 4: Draw a tiger according to the chess pieces at the symbol, the same as step 3.

For example, the total number of chess pieces is 49. Remove the symbol 1 first, so: 49- 1 = 48.

These 48 pieces are divided into two groups. The left 20 pieces are just 20÷4, and the remaining 4 pieces are removed, leaving 16 pieces. Now the total number of right groups is: 48-20 = 28. Well, according to the third step, 28 ÷ 4 = 7 is still the result of divisibility, so

Now, the total number of pieces on the right is: 28-4 = 24.

Step 5: Put together 1 chess pieces used to symbolize people in the second step, four chess pieces removed as remainder in the third step, and four chess pieces also removed as remainder in the fourth step. How many are there in all? Very easy to calculate: 1+4+4 = 9.

Note: there are only two possibilities for this number in the fifth step, either 9 or 5. If the number you calculated is neither 9 nor 5, it means that you made a mistake in the previous step, and you can start from the beginning.

Well, from the first step to the fifth step, this set of actions is completed, which is called "one change", which means "the first set of prescribed actions".

Well, didn't you just say that all the pieces removed in the fifth step are "either 9 or 5"? Therefore, after removing the remainders of the left and right groups of chess pieces symbolizing heaven and earth respectively, the total number of remaining chess pieces is 40 or 44.

According to the above example, there are 16 left in the left group and 24 left in the right group, with a total of 16+24 = 40.

From now on, "one change" ends and "two changes" begin. In other words: the second set of prescribed actions began.

The first step of the "second change": mix the left and right pieces left after the end of the "first change" again, and then divide them into two groups at random.

Just now, when our "change" ended, there were 16 left in the left group and 24 left in the right group. Now mix them together, a total of 40, and then randomly divide them into two groups.

The second step of the "second variation": Like the second step of the "first variation", if we remove 1 chess pieces from any group, let's say that we remove 1 chess pieces from the right group. Well, it's heaven, earth and people again

The third step of the "second change": Like the third step of the "first change", count the number of the group of chess pieces (left group) symbolizing the sky, and divide this number by 4 after counting clearly to see what the remainder is.

We assume that this group has 13 pieces, and the algorithm is: 13 ÷ 4 = 3+ 1.

The remainder is 1, and we remove 1 from this group.

Now, the remaining number of this set of pieces is: 13- 1 = 12.

The fourth step of "second reform": the same as the fourth step of "first reform".

If the total number of pieces in the group symbolizing the sky is 13, then the total number of pieces in the group symbolizing the earth (right group) is: 40- 1- 13 = 26.

Reminder: Don't forget why you want to "subtract 1". That "1" is a chess piece symbolizing human beings, and it has been removed in the second step.

Now, divide the total number of right groups by 4: 26 ÷ 4 = 6 plus 2.

As usual, take out two of the 26 pieces in the right group.

The set of pieces on the right is now on the left: 26-2 = 24.

The fifth step of the "second variation": The second step is the same as the fifth step of the "first variation". The second step is used to symbolize the human 1 chess piece, the third step is used to remove the 1 chess piece as the remainder, and the fourth step is also used to remove the two chess pieces together, totaling: 1+65438+.

Note: At this point, there are only two possible answers, either 4 or 8. If the number you get is neither 4 nor 8, it only shows which step you have miscalculated. Let's start over.

My score in this example is 4. At this time, let's take a look at the two groups of chess pieces that symbolize heaven and earth respectively. After removing four pieces, how many pieces are left? Easy to calculate: 40-4 = 36.

At this time, it is necessary to carry out "three changes" like the previous "one change" and "two changes". I'll make it easier this time. I will continue my example: pile up the remaining 36 pieces after the second change, divide them into two groups at random, and then go through five steps:

The first step of "three changes": 36 blocks are randomly divided into left and right groups.

The second step of "three changes": the right group removes 1 piece.

The third step of "three changes": count the number of blocks in the left group, and then divide this number by 4.

Suppose there are 10 pieces in the left group, then: 10 ÷ 4 = 2 is more than 2.

If two blocks are removed as the remainder, there are eight blocks left in this group (10-2 = 8).

The fourth step of "three changes": count the number of pieces in the right group, and then divide this number by 4.

Total number of right groups should be: 36- 1- 10 = 25.

Continue to calculate: 25 ÷ 4 = 6 remainder 1.

Remove the remaining 1 pieces, and the remaining pieces on the right are: 25- 1 = 24.

The fifth step of "three changes": the total number of remaining pieces in the left and right groups is 8+24 = 32.

After "one change", "two changes" and "three changes", the divination work came to an end temporarily.

Now look, I finally have 32 yuan left.

Note: After these three processes are completed, there are only four final figures: 24, 28, 32 and 36.

No matter which of these four numbers you get, try again, do a small operation and divide this number by 4. In my example just now, the final score was 32, so: 32 ÷ 4 = 8.

At this point, we finally came up with a solution.

What is it?

-He is the most basic unit of hexagrams. There are only two kinds of hexagram, one is yang hexagram, and the symbol is "-"; One is Yin, the symbol is "-",and six hexagrams are superimposed to form a hexagram. A popular view is that Yin and Yang are the earliest binary systems in history. In fact, this view stems from the well-intentioned misunderstanding of the mysterious culture of the East by western scholars-Yin and Yang are the opposite of Yin and Yang, a sign of odd or even numbers, and have nothing to do with the binary system anyway. There are so many experts who have studied Zhouyi through the ages.

On the other hand, we have just made three calculations and finally got a number: 8. We need to record this number-you take out a piece of paper and write respectfully at the bottom of this paper: 8.

Remember: you must record respectfully, and your heart is sincere!

Figure 4- Yin and Yang

But, "8", this guy looks like an Arabic numeral, neither yin nor yang. What is it?

Regardless of this problem, we can continue to calculate according to the method of "three changes".

How to continue? One word: repeat! -Put all the 49 pieces together again, then change it again, change it again, change it again, then divide the last number by 4, and write this number on the "8" just now, and the second move is completed.

Now there are two problems to be solved. The first question is: Why do you want to record a new score on "8"? Why can't you write it on the left, right and bottom of "8"?

The answer is: in a divination, the arrangement order is from bottom to top, so the first divination you work out should be placed at the bottom, the second divination should be placed on top of the first divination, and then the third divination should be placed on top of the second divination until. It's like building a six-story building. First cover the first floor, then the second floor, the third floor, and all the way to the top sixth floor.

The second question is: What if the last "divide by 4" is divided by the remainder?

The answer is: there can be no remainder unless there is an error.

Didn't you just say that at the last step of each "three changes", there are only four possibilities for the total number of left and right sets of chess pieces: 24, 28, 32 and 36. Let's see:

24÷4=6

28÷4=7

32÷4=8

36÷4=9

So, the last number is only six, seven, eight and nine, and I just got eight. If I go through another round of "one change", "two changes" and "three changes", I still can't get these four situations.

Why didn't I say it would take more than an hour to calculate a divination? Look, how troublesome it is! I spent a long time trying, and now I just got an "8", which means I just got the first hexagram.

Divination is to work out a complete divination. How many hexagrams does a complete hexagram consist of? Six.

A hexagram is composed of six hexagrams, so since it takes three "changes" to get one hexagram, how many "changes" does it take to get all six hexagrams?

This is too easy to calculate: 3× 6 = 18.

Thirty percent, 180 percent. Now you know, as the saying goes, "eighteen changes in women's universities" came from this.

Ok, now let's pretend to work it out over and over again, from question one to question six in turn. Our records on paper are six numbers from bottom to top: 8, 8, 6, 9, 8, 8.

Figure 5- Six records: 8, 8, 6, 9, 8, 8

Aren't these all Arabic numerals? What does it have to do with yin and yang?

Of course it matters!

First, divide the four numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 into yin and yang-when you confuse others, you must say "divide yin and yang", but you should know clearly in your heart that the so-called "divide yin and yang" is actually "divide parity": 7 and 9 are odd numbers, so we call them "yang"; 6 and 8 are even numbers, so we call them "Yin". Specifically, in hexagrams, 7 and 9 are represented by yang, and 6 and 8 are represented by yin. In this way, the "8, 8, 6, 9, 8, 8" arranged from bottom to top just recorded on the paper can be replaced by "Yin, Yin, Yin, Yang, Yin and Yin" arranged from bottom to top, namely:

Figure 6-From "Eight, Eight, Six, Nine, Eight, Eight" to "Yin, Yin, Yang, Yin, Yin", the hexagrams are written in words.

This hexagram has five yin hexagrams, the fourth hexagram is yang hexagram, and the painting is divination hexagram.

You can breathe a sigh of relief Now, we have finally figured out a complete divination!

Can you tell your fortune now?

-Not yet. There is still some work to be done.

Does anyone have any questions: Why did I just ask you to write the numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 on paper? Wouldn't it be more convenient to directly convert it into yin-yang records?

I say this for a reason: don't think that there are only two kinds of yin and yang, but there are actually four kinds.

These four types are: Old Yin, Shaoyin, Lao Yang and Shaoyang.

These four emotions correspond to the numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 respectively: 6 is old yin, 8 is young yin, 7 is young yang and 9 is Lao Yang. Take divination as an example. If we only look at the dichotomy of Yin and Yang, the composition of this hexagram is "Yin, Yin, Yin, Yang, Yin, Yin" (the six hexagrams are viewed from bottom to top in turn), but according to this quartile, its composition becomes: "Shaoyin, Shaoyin, Laoyin, Lao Yang, Shaoyin, Shaoyin. (8,8,6,9,8,8。 )

Now it involves an important principle of Zhouyi: the old becomes less and remains unchanged.

Finding someone can't be done in a few words.

It involves many things.

If you read the above paragraph,

It feels good.

Just look for this book to read.
