What is five movements and six qi?

The divinatory symbols of plum blossoms are actually the ups and downs of divinatory symbols when the solar terms at that time and the future produce results. The rise and fall of the five elements in the solar terms have to refer to the five movements and six qi, and the rise and fall of the five elements in the solar terms.

At present, there are many views on the theory of divination and qi, all of which are based on the principle of the seven theories of luck in Neijing. Guaqi is the qi of "five movements and six qi" in Neijing. Because time and space are constantly changing and the times are constantly developing, we can judge it if it is only a simple formula between classics and hexagrams. Even if the theory of plum blossom easy number was founded late, for hundreds of years, the sages have written down all the formulas of sixty-four hexagrams, and later generations just regard it as a formula set. It's easy to change. "When numbers are said, they must be backed by theory." If you talk about numbers unreasonably, you will be arrested and looked at. "To know how hexagrams come from, we must first understand what are solar terms and what are five movements and six qi.

(1) Luo Shu and solar terms

Luoshu

The number of Luo Shu originally came from the ninth house, and 45 numbers were used to play the image of stars. Nine palaces and eight winds combined with eight winds and eight gossip, and the central palace, namely the Luoshu Palace, is the core of the surrounding eight palaces. The ancients observed the celestial phenomena and thought that the position of Polaris (Taiyi) had always lived in the north, which could be used as the standard for locating the center. According to bucket handle, Jiugong is to find out the brightest stars in nine directions from celestial bodies as a sign, so that bucket handle can find the position and quantity of the nine planets, that is, the position and quantity of Luoshu.

The ancients found that the Beidou bucket handle revolved around the Polaris, and the four seasons of the earth moved in turn. From the solstice in winter, bucket handle pointed to the Yezhe Palace in the north, and to the three solar terms from the solstice in winter, slight cold and severe cold lasted for 46 days. After the expiration of the second day, beginning of spring was handed over, and the barrel handle pointed to Liutian Palace, which moved to the northeast. The main solar terms are beginning of spring, rain and fright, lasting for 46 days; On the day after the vernal equinox expires, bucket handle points to Cangmen Palace, which moves eastward, and the three solar terms of vernal equinox, Qingming and Grain Rain last for 46 days; The next day, after the expiration of the long summer, bucket handle moved to the southeast of Luo Yin Palace, with the three solar terms of long summer, small full and busy as 45 days; From summer to the day after the expiration of the date, bucket handle moved to the Southern Tiangong, with three solar terms, namely, summer solstice, light summer heat and great summer heat, which lasted for 46 days; After his arrival in beginning of autumn the next day, bucket handle moved to Xuanwei Palace in the southwest, where he was in charge of beginning of autumn, Chu Shu and the Millennium for 46 days. On the second day after the expiration of the autumnal equinox, the barrel handle pointed to the Cangguo Palace, which moved westward, and dominated the three solar terms of the autumnal equinox, cold dew and first frost for 46 days. The next day, after the expiration of beginning of winter, bucket handle moved to Silla Palace in the northwest, with three solar terms: beginning of winter, light snow and heavy snow, totaling 45 days; After the expiration, I will return to Yezhe Palace and arrive at the winter solstice next year. The ancients called the meeting of the sun and the moon once a month a solar term, and if the sun and the moon meet Beidou this month, it is called qi. If Beidou didn't meet the sun and the moon this month, it was regarded as a leap month, thus creating 24 solar terms to guide agricultural production.

At present, the extension line of the earth's rotation in the northern hemisphere points to Polaris. In today's astronomical knowledge, Polaris refers to the alpha star of Ursa minor. When people in the northern hemisphere look up at the sky, they feel that this star will never move. Therefore, first of all, on the celestial body, take this star as a fixed point and agree on the running direction of other planets. However, Alpha in Ursa minor is not the Polaris since ancient times. Due to the periodic slow swing of the earth's rotation axis, the position of the sky pointed by the north pole of the earth's rotation axis is also changing. The sky pointing to the north pole of the earth's rotation axis moves at the speed of 15 arc seconds per year. 4800 years ago, Polaris was not the alpha star of Ursa minor now, but the alpha star of Draco. At that time, it was the Fuxi era, and it was also the congenital orientation era that Yi people often said. In the era when the acquired position of Zhouyi was formed, although the alpha star of Ursa minor was not as close to the extension line of the earth's rotation axis as it is now, in the era without modern technology, this star was still regarded as the north star, because there was no brighter star nearby to make fixed-point coordinates. At present, the north pole of the earth's rotation axis points to the sky, and the angular distance from Alpha Ursa minor is only about 1 degree. By AD 2 100, the angular distance between the sky indicated by the north pole of the earth's rotation axis and the alpha star Ursa minor was the smallest, only about 28 minutes. In the future, the sky pointing to the north pole of the earth's rotation axis will gradually move away from Ursa minor. By about 4000 AD, Cepheus Gamma will become the North Star. So we can understand why there are innate orientation and acquired orientation. By the year 4000, our position will change again, but I don't think the living can wait for that day, so we can learn Yi now, and the position the day after tomorrow will be enough for us to predict everything.

(2) Five movements, six qi and eight diagrams.

When it comes to divination, it depends on luck. Luck is short for five movements and six qi. Luck theory is China's ancient theory to study climate change and its relationship with human health and diseases, which plays an important role in traditional medicine in China. Huangdi Neijing holds that man is a part of nature and must adapt to the changes of natural yin and yang, otherwise diseases will occur. There are three pathogenic factors: external factors (such as six evils and epidemic diseases), internal factors (such as seven emotions) and internal and external factors (including improper diet, insect bites, fatigue, atrioventricular damage, etc.). ). Similarly, divination life also has external causes (such as the environment, people around, etc. ), internal factors (own personality, attitude), no internal factors, external factors (own conditions, etc.). Divination is like a doctor asking about a person's life or events.

Similarly, in order to correctly judge the date and result of plum blossom, we must first look at the luck of hexagrams, so if we don't understand the five movements and six qi, we can't clearly judge the rise and fall of hexagrams, and we can't talk about the correctness of good luck. The calculation method and application method of five movements and six qi are complicated. You can refer to the books on luck written by modern Chinese medicine. The following is just a brief description.

The theory of luck, also known as the theory of five movements and six qi, is a science that combines medicine to explore the laws of meteorological movement. That is, the five movements (golden wood fire, water, soil and five elements) and six qi (sun cold water, Yangming dry gold, shaoyang phase fire, Taiyin wet soil, shaoyin fire, Jueyin wind wood) and Tiangan (A, B, D, E, G, E, G) are combined with the earthly branches (Zi Chou Yin Mao, G).

Five elements in charge of a year. It is also known as the "Zhong Yun" (the rise and fall of the five elements in heaven and earth) and the "Universiade" (the master transports all the year round). A is old and the land movement is unified; At the age of B Geng, Jinyun unified it; Bingxin era was unified by water transport; In the era of Dingren, the wooden ship transportation system; Fifty-four years old, Huotong. There are two kinds of luck: there are too few Otawa. There are too many years when the sun is dry and too few years when the sun is dry.

The main transport refers to the five seasons in a year, which reflects the normal change of climate at five o'clock in a year, so it is fixed every year, so it is called the main transport. Although the main transport is divided into five hours, it remains the same throughout the year, but the five steps of the main transport have changed too much. In the calculation, we must use the methods of "five-tone structure", "too little interaction" and "five-step push".

The law of abnormal climate change in five seasons of a year. Relatively speaking, passenger transport is also the main mode of transport, but it is named passenger transport because it is different every year within ten years, such as the coming and going of passengers. Co-host each of the five steps with the main game every year. The annual passenger transport is also divided into five types: wood transport, fire transport, earth transport, gold transport and water transport. The similarities between passenger transport and main transport are as follows: the fifth transport is divided into five main transport hours, and each main transport is 73 days and five minutes; They are all in the five-line order, too few are born together, and five steps are pushed. The difference between the two is that the passenger transport changes with the annual transport, and it is different from year to year, while the main transport starts at Chunjiao and ends at Dongyu, and remains unchanged from year to year.

Six Qi refers to six climate changes, such as wind, heat (summer heat), fire, humidity, dryness and cold. Six Qi can be divided into three types: main Qi, courtesy Qi and presence of subject and object. The main gas is constant and polite, and the subject and object are present, which is a comprehensive analysis method combining constancy and disguise.

The main gas, that is, the main gas, is mainly responsible for the normal climate change throughout the year. The main gas includes wind wood, fire, phase fire, wet soil, dry gold and cold water. Because of its constant residence and immobility, it is also called rustic.

Three in the sky is called "politeness" because its guest residence is uncertain, which is different from the main qi. Politeness, like the main qi, is also divided into six kinds: wind wood, fire, fire, wet soil, dry gold and cold water.

Politeness is more complicated, including the difference between heaven, spring and qi. The third qi is the sky, and the last qi is spring. Two qi and four qi are the left and right qi of Sitian, and five qi and one qi are the left and right qi of spring. The arrangement of six qi, yin first and then yang, is arranged in the order of one, two and three. Namely: Jueyin, less fire, too damp soil, less yang incense, Yangming dry gold, sun cold water. (This order is a little different from the main gas, that is, the shaoyang phase fires back and is inserted between wet soil and Yangming dry gold. )

Add the six polite steps that rotate every year to the six fixed main gas steps respectively. Because the main atmosphere can only summarize the regular climate change in a year, and the specific climate change depends on politeness. Only by combining the guest and the main atmosphere can we grasp the actual climate change in that year.

The five movements and six qi mainly provide Chinese medicine with the influence of climate on human exogenous diseases and make predictions in advance. Based on the idea of "harmony between man and nature", Iraq and the United States can also infer the influence of the external environment on the development of life or events by combining the ups and downs of the five elements in the five movements and six qi, so as to make predictions in advance. The divinatory symbols of plum blossoms are actually the ups and downs of divinatory symbols when the solar terms at that time and the future produce results.

Taking 2009 as an example, this paper analyzes the hexagrams in each solar term with five movements and six qi;

I am ugly (65438+20091October 20-20 10 65438+1October 20), soil can't be transported, wet can't bake the sky, the sun is cold, and water is in spring. Throughout the year, the earth movement is not strong enough. In the first half of the year, the soil is poor, and in the second half, the water is strong and the soil movement is not good enough, so there is the possibility of wood pressing the soil at any time throughout the year.

Initial Qi (Dahan 65438+ 10-vernal equinox): the main qi is the evil wind wood, and the courtesy is the evil wind wood. Muwang, wood is not discouraged when it meets soil.

The second qi (vernal equinox-Xiao Man): the main qi is shaoyin, and fire is politeness. The fire is booming, but it is still alive.

Three Qi (Xiaoman-Dashu): the main qi is less yang and less fire, and manners are too wet. Fire is flourishing, fire does not produce soil, and soil does not produce gold.

Four qi (summer heat-autumnal equinox): the main qi is too wet, polite and less yang. Fire is flourishing, fire does not produce soil, and soil does not produce gold.

Five qi (autumnal equinox-light snow): the main qi Yangming is dry and golden, and the courtesy Yangming is dry and golden. Wang Jin and the soil are completely declining, and gold stimulates every wood.

Six qi (light snow-severe cold): the main qi is the sun cold water, and the sun cold water is polite. Water is flourishing, but soil can't beat water.
