Notes on the Book of Changes (5)

Section 5? The formation principle of sixty-four hexagrams in the courseware of Zhouyi Ba Liu

Class discussion topic: 1. How to use gossip to analyze specific cases?

A. After gossip is formed, you can use it to compare and analyze specific things. Before analysis, determine the location of gossip and the location of observation points. Only by determining the corresponding orientation can we accurately measure the changing law of Yin and Yang, and thus accurately analyze its changing law. There are two situations: one is from the inside out, taking the earthquake location east of the future gossip as an example, that is, two yin and one yang; From the outside to the inside, it is just the opposite, and it is a reverse progression of one yang and two yin. Gossip can also be adjusted according to the dynamic change of orientation.

B. Analyze the name of the great man Mao Zedong with examples. The great Mao Zedong beautified it with words. According to the tradition in China, a person's fate can be analyzed and judged by his name alone. It may be a bit against our will, but after analyzing the historical facts, every detail we get points in the same direction, and we have to say that many factors contained in it are not groundless.

C the word "east" is the location of the earthquake in gossip the day after tomorrow, which is the location of the emperor. The word "East" tells the outstanding fate of great men who have made great achievements. "Dongfanghong, the sun has risen, and there is a Mao Zedong in China." The creation of lyrics is the will of the people confirmed by this fate. The word "Ze" means that goodness is like water, and happiness is everywhere. It indicates that a great man will be a person from a different world. The word "Mao" comes from the hair of sunbirds, which is bright. When these three personalities are combined, the theory of great man's talent and mission is formed.

D. "One life, two fortunes, three geomantic omen, four virtues and five studies" circulated among the people. The explanation is: the so-called fate, fortune telling. Order, law also. Legalists, norms also. I don't know my fate, but it is a gentleman. It means that if you want to be a gentleman, you must understand and master the development law of fate, distinguish between good and evil and the norms of being a man, and then you can know how to cultivate yourself and make yourself a gentleman. Life begins with parents, and the period from embryo formation to birth is the stage of life formation. Many factors at this stage, such as the genetic factors of fertilized eggs, nutrition, prenatal education, parents' family and so on, as well as the influence of the environment, all combine into the prerequisite factors of "fate" and affect people's initial fate. Traffic, which is strategic planning. This is the acquired enlightenment and growth. The joint efforts of people around our parents and elders have shaped the initial form of our personality. Feng shui, that is, the growing environment. Small environment and big environment, natural environment and humanistic environment all have a far-reaching influence on our character and character. As for the future study and fame, it is the result of personal ideological practice. A person's life destiny is obtained through constant cultivation. Whether it is perfect or not, the role of foundation is very critical.

E. In the past, many emperors' principles of governing the country were laid out with reference to the change pattern of the Book of Changes, and the story trend reflected by literary works can also be inferred from the change of divinatory symbols in the Book of Changes. Therefore, the Book of Changes is the source of China culture. If you can master the Book of Changes, you can transport heaven and earth in the palm of your hand, and you can grasp the omen of good and bad luck and achieve great things.

Learning experience:

Through the study of this lesson, I feel that it is not a matter of one day for a person to cultivate a virtuous and modest gentleman, but to use his whole life's energy to reflect on himself unremittingly, make unremitting progress, and know how to choose righteousness, so as to make continuous progress.

At the beginning of life, the initiative is not in itself, but depends on the education and cultivation of innate parents and families. This is the key. No wonder the property of "inviolability of destiny" summarized by predecessors tells us that the innate destiny is not decided by us, and this part of the initiative is in the hands of parents. At the same time, parents are also influenced by local self-cultivation and surrounding conditions, and this fate is also formed in a complicated environment. The historical environment is also determined by the trend of world development. The beginning of life has given us different fate, soil environment and created different us. We should practice ourselves slowly on the basis of laying a good foundation. Just like flowers and trees that grow naturally, they try their best to trim themselves beautifully under the craftsman's aesthetics and scissors. If you are a grass, you will green the earth in spring. If you were a pillar tree, you would give your body. Understand the destiny, that is, understand your own foundation, create a landscape according to the situation, and make yourself a landscape with its own characteristics. The birth of life is so difficult and great that we can have life. First of all, we should feel the kindness of our parents, understand the root of our own destiny, and form many innate factors, which are conducive to our cultivation and enlightenment, consciously avoid the weak and missing parts of ourselves, and also cultivate good soil for the fate of the next generation. I have argued many different views with others, thinking that human existence is a combination of contradictions and is often confused by many things. Now, by studying Chinese and western cultures and combining my own life experience, I want to understand many truths and contradictory statements. For example, some people think that the beginning of life is good; Others believe that the beginning of life is an inherent defect. Originally, I couldn't figure out how this contradictory statement was formed. Which statement is correct? Now, we can explain why. That's because there is no right or wrong view of these two kinds of people in different soils, and they can only be analyzed in detail. "The winner is king, and the loser is the enemy." We can also objectively look at and analyze what the winner is and where the loser is defeated. The increase and decrease of the harmony of Yin and Yang conform to the ups and downs of natural laws. When the sun rises, it can be suppressed in time, and when the sun sets, it can be supplemented and increased in time, so that you can spend your life smoothly.
