Naming and Composition of Eight-array Diagram

Eight arrays are named after heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds and snakes, and China has nine large arrays. China's army consists of sixteen small arrays, and the surrounding eight arrays are each composed of six small arrays, making a total of sixty-four small arrays. In the eight-array diagram, the sky, the earth, the wind and the clouds are the "four positive", and the dragon (dragon), tiger (white tiger), bird (suzaku) and snake (snake) are the "four strange". In addition, there are 24 arrays in the rear for maneuvering.

Characteristics of eight-array diagram

The characteristics of the eight-array diagram, as Li Jing pointed out in Ask Heaven, are "large array covers small array, big camp covers small camp, corners are connected, twists and turns are opposite" and "inner ring covers outside"; Its conception is inseparable from Zhouyi. The arrangement of the eight-array diagram is actually a "orientation diagram of Wang Wen's eight diagrams" (that is, "the eight diagrams the day after tomorrow"). Each of the eight arrays consists of six small arrays, taking the meaning of six hexagrams in Zhouyi. The total number of eight arrays and sixty-four small arrays in Zhong Jun is consistent with the sixty-four hexagrams of other hexagrams in Zhouyi. As for the method of odd and right in the eight-array diagram, that is, "odd and right, right and strange, and infinite poverty" mentioned in Du Zhu's Sun Zi is the concrete application of Yi ology in array method.

The formation of "Eight Arrays" is based on the four fields of Gankun and Genggen, which are the positive array of heaven and earth and the positive array of soldiers respectively. The northwest is dry land, and the dry land is the sky array. The southwest is Kun land, and Kun is the ground array. The land in the southeast is a place of mourning, and mourning is a wind array. There are people with roots living in the land of Northeast China, with dense mountains and rivers. Water, fire and Jin Mu are the four strange arrays of dragons, tigers, birds and snakes. The arrangement is that there is a dragon (array) on the left, a white tiger (array) on the right, a suzaku (array) in front and a Yuan Wu snake (array) behind, so the imaginary one is occupied. Eight arrays are distributed in the general array, which consists of eight, eight and sixty-four arrays, plus 24 ranger arrays. 32 arrays of Yin and Yang, 24 arrays of Yang and 24 arrays of Yin. There are 24 squadrons. After the 60 th Squadron, all the marches, formations, joint operations, doubts, air and logistics were in the Squadron. There is a hymn praising the power of "Eight Arrays": "Arrays can accommodate each other and teams can accommodate each other; The past is the back and the future is the front; There is no speed to advance, and there is no hesitation to retreat; Four heads and eight tails, headed by touch; The enemy rushed in and saved both ends; Odd and positive, endless cycle; Head-to-tail correspondence, hidden and unpredictable; It' s like a god, and it' s suitable for its own situation. " "Eight array method, at that time two array, the first world war as a precaution; Chinese and foreign countries are light and heavy, combining rigidity with softness, each other's reality, subject and object have changed, and latitude and longitude have also changed. It is precisely because of the sudden progress in foundation and strangeness that many of them are due to interaction and logistics support. "
