Fortune-telling discussion pk_ fortune-telling gameplay

Who knows Zhouyi? I want to discuss it with a master.

The Book of Changes is so famous that almost everyone in China knows that there is such a book. Foreigners only need him to study China's ancient philosophy, culture, literature and history. Science and technology, astronomy, geography, medicine, etc. Everyone knows that there is such a book. But the definition of Zhouyi given by China people is not good. Zhouyi is a book of divination, which tells the conclusion of modern China academic circles. What is divination? That's fortune telling, that's feudal superstition, and it's the opposite of modern science. Its status has naturally not been much better over the years. As soon as we carry out the activities of popularizing science and culture, we must oppose superstition, and we must take out the Zhouyi, the ancestor of superstition, and make a comment.

To tell the truth, almost no one in modern society can read Zhouyi. Since you can't understand it, what right do you have to criticize Zhouyi? Some people say that I am not criticizing Zhouyi, but criticizing Qigong, fortune telling, witchcraft and so on. Do you know that these things are all from Zhouyi, which is the concrete operation of Zhouyi theory? How can you say that it has nothing to do with adults when you hit other people's children?

As for the origin of Zhouyi, there is a view in modern academic circles that it originated in the ancient stone age, but its real source has not been found so far. Ordinary people don't need to know so much, as long as they know that the Book of Changes existed in Oracle Bone Inscriptions's time. At that time, human beings had just learned to invent characters, and Zhouyi was already a systematic theory.

The significance of the existence of Zhouyi is generally unknown, but the clue that Chinese medicine originated from Zhouyi is clear. It can be understood that the significance of traditional Chinese medicine is only a few percent of Zhouyi. As for the value of Zhouyi in modern society, it is enough for you to know that the binary method of computer language is the same as Zhouyi.

We don't understand and dare not comment on the other values of Zhouyi. But the general feeling is: it is as deep as the sea, profound and profound, and it contains all the truth between heaven and earth in a trance. For example:

The Book of Changes takes ten days to dry: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui; The twelve earthly branches: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, remember the calendar, and have a six-child cycle. This kind of calendar has an advantage that modern calendars don't have, that is, 60 children cycle back and forth, with no starting point and no ending point. Thousands of years ago and next time. However, in this magical chronology, there are infinite mysteries.

According to statistics, since 1827, there have been 16 floods in the Yangtze River, with years of 1827, 1849, 1860, 1870 and/kloc-respectively. 1909, 19 17, 193 1, 1935, 1945, 1954, 1969.

1887— 1827=60

1909— 1849=60

193 1— 1870=6 1

1945— 1887=58

1969— 1909=60

199 1— 193 1=60

1996— 1935=6 1

It can be said that the 60-year flood cycle in the Yangtze River is very obvious, and the water with an interval of about 60 years also has the same characteristics, such as 1870, 193 1 year, 199 1 year (1998 The time interval between 1935 and 1996 floods is 6 1 year. These two floods are regional, mainly occurring on both sides of Jingjiang River, namely Jianghan Plain in Hubei and Dongting Lake in Hunan.

A scientist in our country collected six earthquakes of magnitude above 6 in California in recent 200 years/kloc-0, and found that four occurred in Renshen year, and there was also a 60-year period, so he predicted that an earthquake of magnitude above 6.8 would occur in San Francisco in June 1992, and sure enough, a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.9 occurred on June 28 1992.

From these two examples, can you clarify the value of Zhouyi? Medium and long-term weather forecast has always been one of the directions of modern scientific efforts. Now, even if we have meteorological satellites, it is impossible to make accurate medium and long-term weather forecasts, and the Zhouyi thousands of years ago has solved this problem. For example, 1968, many villagers in Hunan said, "Next year is the year of Yiyou. There was a big flood in the old yiyou year (A.D. 1849), and there was also a big flood in the previous yiyou year (A.D. 1909). There will be a 60-year flood cycle next year. " Many places made preparations in time. Sure enough, in 1969, floods occurred in Hunan and Hubei.

We don't want to prove the true value of Zhouyi here, because it can't be proved at all, but we want to use Zhouyi to explain the origin of human civilization. The above examples are basically beyond the scope of modern scientific understanding, and most of the achievements of these civilizations can not be found, such as Zhouyi, traditional Chinese medicine, meridians, acupuncture and so on, which have existed in the early days of human civilization. According to the general principle, it was impossible for people at that time to invent. Therefore, it is necessary for us to admit that before our generation of civilization (before the invention of writing), there was a highly developed civilization on earth. But this civilization was lost in a great disaster, that is, the flood. The flood not only destroyed the residents in the northern half of the earth below the altitude of 1 100 meters, but also submerged the advanced civilization that the first generation of earth people studied hard. Although the shepherds who came down from the mountain got the remnants of the previous civilization, they could not develop as they were, and these achievements included a series of civilizations centered on Zhouyi in ancient China. The viewpoint of "intermediate civilization" is the fourth important hypothesis in this book, which explains the whole oriental civilization system including Indian civilization with the achievements of ancient civilization in China. It is relative to modern material civilization. Of course, such a division is only of methodological significance, because without such a division, we cannot analyze the characteristics of "intermediary civilization". Therefore, the author affirms that we have no intention to criticize any civilization here, and all the analysis is well-intentioned, in order to better let people know the value of a lost civilization.

Objectively speaking, human beings have paid less and less attention to the significance of ancient civilization. When modern science came into being, in order to establish authority, we basically regarded ancient civilization as superstition. When modern science came into being, because we were too limited to the methods and theories invented by ourselves and used them as the yardstick to measure everything, we consciously or unconsciously rejected ancient civilization; Since 1980s, there has been a cultural revival in the world, and ancient civilizations have been paid attention to from different angles. However, because there is no breakthrough in understanding and methods, this kind of revival has completely lost its goal.

If we can further infer, in fact, human beings did not have a good understanding of ancient civilization from the beginning. From the ancient documents left at present, we can clearly feel that since the written records of history, human beings have been very blind when they entered this civilization. Taking China as an example, Zhouyi is the general program of ancient civilization, but people in China were confused when they first explained Zhouyi. Zhou Yi Ji Jie brings together some unique understandings in history, but the differences are obvious to all. Later scholars started from philosophy, sociology, religion, ethnology, literature and other aspects because their understanding of the Book of Changes was not clear enough, but the more they explained it, the farther away they were from the essence of the Book of Changes. Today, in fact, there is no essential difference between our understanding of Zhouyi and that of ancient times. If ancient people don't understand, we still don't understand.

Why is this happening? The reason lies in what argument our existing civilization structure is based on, that is, how we look at the world in front of us.

Pursuing a universal understanding of nature is a deep-rooted subconscious of human beings, which has accumulated 6000 years of civilized achievements. We have developed a set of methods and theories to understand nature. Experience tells us that this method and theory are effective. It is simple and clear, and directly solves all our material needs. Over the past 6000 years, under the guidance of such a set of methods and theories, we have made unexpected achievements. However, if we ask a question: Is the method and theory that we know the world today the only correct one? It seems that the conclusion may not be easy. From a philosophical point of view, the way we know the world today is just one of countless ways, that is, we only know the world from one angle and one side.

So, how do we view the world in front of us today? Although there are many philosophical differences, one thing is basically certain. We look at the world from the perspective of "the world is material", which is our basic view of the world. With this view, we have accumulated more than 6000 years of knowledge and established a civilized structure. For example, there are about 2400 disciplines in the world at present, but they are all based on physics. Even the humanities should abide by the laws of physics. For example, modern philosophical views are based on the achievements of physics. When we look at nature from the viewpoint that the world is material, it will naturally lead to many related viewpoints, such as "man can conquer nature" and so on. Civilization based on this view is called "material civilization".

Then, besides the method of "material civilization", are there other ways and angles to understand the world? The answer is yes. But where is this method? We believe that this method has existed for a long time in human civilization, but we don't realize it. That is the method of ancient civilization, which should be discussed from the perspective of ancient civilization's understanding of the world.

For the sake of convenience, and in order to let Cui Ji enter the question we will discuss, we take out a theme from each of the two civilizations for comparison. Choose western medicine from "material civilization" and traditional Chinese medicine from ancient oriental civilization.

Western medicine is based on human anatomy, and its research ideas and methods are still inseparable from the category of modern physics. Starting from this theory and method, western medicine regards people as purely material things, just like machines in industrial society. Therefore, in terms of treatment ideas and methods, it is also a method of transforming the world with material civilization, which is basically the same as repairing machines. If the heart is damaged, it can be replaced with an artificial heart. The appendix is inflamed and can be removed; To treat a tumor, you must either remove it with a scalpel or kill it with radiation. This method is similar to dealing with an old bicycle or a broken machine tool. If the chain of the bicycle is broken, you can connect it to another one. If the motor of the machine tool is broken, it can be replaced with a new one.

We admit that with the progress of science and technology, the level of "cultivating" people in western medicine is also changing with each passing day. Let's imagine that in 100 years, people can make and "clone" many exquisite human organs, such as artificial heart, artificial liver and artificial stomach. , as well as artificial muscles, bones, blood vessels, and even nerve sensing systems similar to optical cables. By then, a person will certainly live longer with these assistive technologies. If he can live to be 300 years old, in these 300 years, he will have an artificial heart today, an artificial liver tomorrow, an artificial arm the day after tomorrow and an artificial tooth the day after tomorrow ... What is this? Is he still human? People will certainly invent another word to describe this industrial monster. Maybe people will call it: industrial integrated humanoid advanced machine. How terrible! By then, will our society still be called human society?

It is not difficult to see from the treatment ideas and methods of western medicine that the general idea of western medicine is the same as that of modern material civilization, which is embodied in the confrontation between energy, the exchange between materials and the ubiquitous invasion of viruses. This is a way of exchange between materials, and various antibiotics are the display of the confrontation between energy and energy. If we summarize the guiding ideology of western medicine, there are only three sentences: survival and destruction, conquest and conquest, war and peace. Visible, western medicine is concerned about the material aspects of people, is a pure "material medicine", embodies the universal principles of contemporary material civilization.

Because western medicine is very close to us, everyone has a deep feeling about life, so there is no need to waste more ink here.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is called the fifth invention of China, and it is unique in the world medicine. Contrary to western medicine, Chinese medicine in China takes a completely different road. It never advocates survival and destruction, conquest and conquest, but cuts into the relationship between human body and disease from another angle.

Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the relationship between man and nature. Talking about diseases in Huangdi Neijing is always inseparable from climate, season and surrounding natural environment. People in the sense of traditional Chinese medicine; It doesn't refer entirely to physical people, but to spiritual people, emphasizing thinking, anxiety and fear. As for the relationship between internal mental factors such as joy and fear and diseases, Su Wenju's General Theory says: "All diseases are born of qi, anger is born of qi, joy is born of qi, sadness is born of qi, fear is born of qi, shock is born of qi, and thinking is born of qi." Therefore, there are sayings of "thinking hurts the spleen", "fear of sadness" and "sadness for the lungs". The five gods of Tibetan images in traditional Chinese medicine also refer to gods, spirits, spirits, intentions and aspirations, and refer to spiritual things such as human emotions, thoughts, concepts and psychology.

For example, all theories of Chinese medicine are centered on "Qi". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "Qi" is the source of life, yin and yang and five elements are the movement form of "Qi", five movements and six qi are the gasification of heaven and earth, and the five gods of Tibet are the gasification of human body. The etiology and pathogenesis lies in the imbalance of "Qi", and the treatment lies in regulating the "Qi" mechanism. The "qi" mentioned by Chinese medicine is not like a material thing in any way, but a spiritual thing like a soul. Therefore, we can speculate that Chinese medicine mainly serves the mental body by coordinating the relationship between the mental body and the body.

Under this basic theory, the treatment thoughts and methods of traditional Chinese medicine are not conquest and destruction, but harmony and balance. Its highest principle is not to kill the invading virus, but to transform under the balance of yin and yang. Therefore, Chinese medicine pays special attention to benefiting qi, regulating qi and regulating qi. In fact, it is vented, and deficiency is supplemented. Cold is hot, and heat is cold. Yin Pingyang is secret and supplements its disadvantages.

It can be seen that the focus of traditional Chinese medicine is not the material aspect of people, but the relationship between material and spirit. Its outstanding function is to communicate the information between material body and human spirit and play the role of intermediary, so we call Chinese medicine "intermediary medicine".

Now, let's make a comprehensive analysis. Because western medicine embodies the universal principle of material civilization, we call it "material medicine"; Traditional Chinese medicine stands between material body and spirit, so we call it "intermediary medicine". If the world is composed of matter and spirit, then we can see the position of Chinese medicine on the natural level, matter (western medicine)-(Chinese medicine-intermediary)-spirit.

If the philosophy of "the world is material" leads to the emergence of western medicine, what is the basic philosophy that leads to the emergence of Chinese medicine? Although we don't know yet, one thing is certain. Only those who know the material structure can invent western medicine. Similarly, only those who know the material and spiritual structure can invent traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the theory of promoting the emergence of Chinese medicine is better than that of promoting the emergence of western medicine.

It must be noted that the characteristics of TCM intermediary are not unique to it, but a branch of China ancient culture. Just as western medicine represents the universal principle of material civilization, the characteristics of Chinese medicine intermediary also represent the universal principle of its civilization system, that is, the universal principle of oriental civilization. Doctor, the Book of Changes, that is, the Book of Changes, is the general program of ancient culture in China, so the whole eastern civilization can also be called "intermediate civilization". In fact, as long as we pay a little attention, we will find that all cultural forms centered on Zhouyi have the characteristics of intermediary. Chinese medicine is the intermediary, qigong is the intermediary, acupuncture is the intermediary, the principle of Chinese herbal medicine is also the intermediary, and all Taoist theories about people are also the intermediary. Witchcraft, divination and physiognomy are the concrete operation methods of intermediary theory.
