Learn the composition of six hexagrams from scratch

From the beginning of this article, even if a foot has entered the door of the fortune teller, why is it a foot? This step we have taken is all the basic knowledge we have learned before. Maybe in the future study, our knowledge will be supplemented and improved, but at least we have mastered the most basic part. Then the other foot is divination and divination. Only if you can skillfully install divination can you lay a good foundation for the later divination.

In this article, we should know what hexagrams are made of before we start and install them.

In the first article, we introduced the origin of Eight Diagrams and Zhou Wenwang's Eight Diagrams were paired and evolved into sixty-four hexagrams. I don't want to explain every hexagram in depth here, just need everyone to be familiar with the name, image and palace of each hexagram.

Sixty-four hexagrams are composed of two eight-classics hexagrams, the upper hexagrams are called upper hexagrams, also called outer hexagrams; The following divination is called Xiagua, also called Neigua.

Do it for the sky; Kun is the land; The ridge is water; Stay away from fire sources; Shock is thunder; Be a mountain; Change jersey; Xun is the wind.

This is the basic image of the Eight Classics hexagrams, which was also introduced in previous articles. The hexagrams are composed of the basic hexagrams of the Eight Classics. For example, the upper divination is a dry divination and the lower divination is a deviation, which means that the upper divination is a dry divination and the lower divination is a fire divination. For example, the upper divination is Kun, and the lower divination is Kan, which is the divination of the local navy. For example, the upper divination is shock, and the lower divination is redemption, that is, Razer's back-sister divination.

Knowing the name structure of the sixty-four hexagrams, when we say a hexagram, we can know what it is. For example, the concept of terroir is to go up and down. Another example is the fire and thunder bite, that is, the upper part and the lower part are separated. Another example is Ze Tianxuan, who is working against the top.

After being familiar with this rule, we just need to memorize the names of the sixty-four hexagrams.

The hexagrams in the above picture are arranged in the order in the Book of Changes. In order to make it easy to remember, Zhu wrote the preface song of sixty-four hexagrams

Gan Kuntun (zhūn) is a lawyer in need. He is more humble than a small animal (xi m: o xù), and his colleagues are more prepared. He is more eager to see (shì kè) than a big animal (dà xù). Xian Heng escaped with the family of Dazhuang and jinhe (kuí) and Jian (Ji Mi).

Fang Jing divided the sixty-four hexagrams into eight palaces in the Han Dynasty, with the Eight Classics as the head, which changed in turn. For example, doing things for the sky, changing at first, changing from yang to yin, doing things for the world, and divining the weather; The weather changes again, Tianshan Mountain, Tianshan Mountain becomes three mountains, and heaven and earth change; Whether heaven and earth have changed four times, change the wind to see; The local conditions have changed, and the mountains have been stripped. You can't change it up at this time, you can only change it down. The mountain has been stripped for four times and has become a fire, and then the next divination will become a palace divination and a fire. This is the changing process from the first divination to the last divination in each of the eight palaces. Among them, the hexagram of the sixth change is called wandering soul hexagram, and the hexagram of the seventh change is called returning to the soul hexagram. The concepts of wandering soul divination and resurrection divination must be clarified. The wandering soul hexagrams were changed to four hexagrams, and the resurrection hexagrams were changed to less than three hexagrams. Later, there will be applications of wandering divination and resurrection divination when loading divination.

If you are interested, don't look at the picture behind, you can try to change the hexagrams in other palaces.

After we are familiar with the sixty-four hexagrams and the eight palace hexagrams, we need to know what a complete hexagram contains.

1. Date, year, month and sky.

Second, the names of Ben Yao and Gong Yao, Ben Yao and Gong Yao.

Three, six gods, Najia, six relatives, Shiying

All these make up a six-pointed star. I will explain each part in detail in future articles. Now I just need to know that a complete six-pointed star is made up of these parts.

If you don't understand anything, you can ask me in the comment area or in a private letter, and the Taoist priest will answer patiently.
