The basic concept of gossip

Gossip is also called classics. The eight basic figures in Zhouyi are marked with "one" and "-",and each hexagram consists of three hexagrams; Take "one" as yang and "-"as * *. Gan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui and Bagua. See the "Eight Diagrams Symbol" below for specific symbols. The sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes are all composed of eight diagrams. Gossip originated from the divination of primitive religion. The author of Yi Zhuan thinks that gossip mainly symbolizes eight natural phenomena: heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire and mountains and rivers, and each letter symbolizes many things. He also believes that the two hexagrams "Gan" and "Kun" occupy a particularly important position in the Eight Diagrams and are the source of all phenomena in nature and human society.

Detailed explanation of the graphic content of Zhouyi Bagua

The word "Yi" in Zhouyi has three meanings: the first is "Jane", the second is "change" and the third is "difficulty". What is simplicity? The Book of Changes tells us that although the world is confusing, it is very complicated after all-the world has day and night, heaven and earth, men and women, yin and yang, and it is a very complicated thing.

You can't learn Zhouyi without talking about Yin and Yang. As described below, all the images of the sixty-four hexagrams were initially classified into two hexagrams: Yin and Yang.

Some worldviews advocate that "the enemy is the enemy after all" and will be the enemy all his life. But it is impossible to hold a grudge all your life. In this world view, the world is a life-and-death world. However, in the world view of Zhouyi, in the world view of "Taihe", this is a world where kites fly and fish leap without interfering with each other.

The Book of Changes says that everyone in heaven and earth lives in heaven and earth.

For example, a needle says, "No, it's very Thai". What are Thai hexagrams and negative hexagrams? If the following is Kun Gua, the following is Gan Gua, which means "Tai"; Here is the dry divination, and here is the Kun divination, which means "no". As we know, walking is heaven, Kun is earth, and the earth under the sun is "Tai". Is there something wrong? After understanding, we will feel very complicated: when we see a condescending world, it is really a lifeless world. The world is always above the world, and I always despise it. The world is lifeless and creative, so we think it is "nothing". Just like a leader who is above himself, he can't see a real world. Ordinary people are just ordinary people, and the world is not harmonious. The sky is my face, the ground is below, and the leadership goes deep into the masses. At this time, there will be real communication and the "harmony between heaven and earth" will be achieved.

Not only the name, but also the layout of a market will be related to Zhouyi. The Forbidden City in Beijing has three halls in the south: Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Zhonghe and Hall of Baohe, and three palaces in the north: Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace. Their names are all related to Zhouyi. Throughout Beijing, the Temple of Heaven is in the south, the Ditan is in the north, the altar is in the east and the moon altar is in the west. If you know something about Zhouyi, you will know why this arrangement is made, because Beijing is the materialized city of Zhouyi.

If we only know that Zhouyi is a book of divination, it would be too inadequate. I ching is sentimental about heaven and ghosts. In the world of Zhouyi, heaven, ghosts and gods are not uncontrollable, but have become a truth, which can be expressed through yin and yang and other things.

The Book of Changes provides people with two important principles, that is, in the face of numerous exchanges, we should pay attention to positioning and manifold. Positioning is a certain fixed order, the monarch is the monarch, the minister is the minister and so on. But we can't just stay in this fixed order, and the manifold of this order is somewhat loose. This looseness is reflected in the fact that although the monarch is a monarch and the minister is a minister, it is impossible to kneel before the monarch every day. If the world order has only orientation and no manifold, then people are faced with a basic macro manifold, which can be a great change from rulers to ministers. As the Book of Songs said, "The high shore is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum". The mulberry field became a mulberry field.

The Book of Changes says, "A husband lives in harmony with heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the four seasons and ghosts and gods. Nature and fate, nature and geography. What happened to people? What about ghosts and gods? " Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of person is this person? Such a person should be the person we usually talk about. This pursuit is very high. People often say that we should conquer the sky at once, but we can't conquer the sky basically. It is difficult to be such an "adult". However, there is no connection. This is at most a target indicator, telling us that if we want to live a good life, we must have a good relationship with the good people in the world. This is Zhouyi's world view.
