Is there anything particular or taboo about learning six hexagrams?

If you ask, you must be a beginner. Let me explain your problem and talk about some problems encountered by novices. I hope it helps you.

1. Is there any taboo or stress about learning six hexagrams? Many people think that learning divination will have a bad influence on the learners themselves, and many people say that breaking the sky will be condemned by heaven. Many beginners flinch. We know that there are three saints in the development of the Book of Changes, Fuxi, King Wen and Confucius. Have these three saints suffered from the scourge? Divination is a very scientific system based on the theory of yin-yang and five elements, and it is certainly beneficial to learn these things. However, these things are not so easy to learn, not to mention the obscurity of ancient books, and the learning mentality is a big problem. Many people learn this for money. Many people studied it to predict the rise and fall of stocks, what number the lottery ticket is, and even applied it to crooked ways, and finally failed. At this time, it is a pity not to pursue your own problems, but to say that there is something wrong with this subject, and learning is quite taboo, misleading the later learning!

2. Is it possible for a specific person to learn divination, such as a person with a canopy in the eight characters? Many masters believe that not everyone can learn the Book of Changes. For example, if there is no canopy, it is doomed to learn or not. Although there is some truth in this statement. However, it is also misleading to generalize. When we go to school, we can understand that there are students with good grades and students with poor grades in the class. But students with poor grades may not be as good as those with good grades in life. There are many ways to learn tricks, not necessarily suitable for learning six tricks, but not necessarily suitable for learning eight characters; Perhaps the eight characters are not suitable, not necessarily the plum blossom is not suitable; Perhaps plum blossom is not suitable, strange door is not necessarily not suitable, there are many ways to magic number, after all, each has its own.

3. How to learn to learn. Many people are interested in the Book of Changes, but if you really want to read this book, you will have a headache after reading two pages, so you will not learn it once you throw it away. This is absolutely impossible to learn. Some friends are also very enthusiastic. As long as it is adjacent to the Book of Changes, they will read it. In the end, they will find that each book is different and has no foundation. In the end, they don't know what to do, they can only be confused. Some people think it's best to find a master, so they spend a lot of money to sign up for some crash training courses. Finally, they spent money and learned nothing. The Book of Changes is extensive and profound, and the masters have to study it for decades, trying to figure out how it can be fast and don't be cheated again.

If you want to learn the Book of Changes well, you can't be impatient. We should start from the basics and take our time. Avoid extensive reading at first, because you haven't laid a good foundation yet. At this time, reading extensively will be exhausted by the words of a hundred schools of thought, so we should concentrate on our research. In addition, it is very important to choose a good primer at the beginning. If the primer is not selected, I hope it can be changed in the future. It's hard to say. Many times I can't change it. If you like Liu Yi, let's start with it's not easy to add or delete.

The most important thing is to apply what you have learned. If you don't learn the Book of Changes, you won't dare to read divination in the end. If you see divination, what is the use of learning it? None of the other books is completely right. If you don't practice, you can't find the right or wrong in the book. You must practice boldly.

I also want to emphasize the problem of reading. Be alert when reading, and have the spirit of questioning. There is never a shortage of liars in the Book of Changes. Many books are full of mistakes. Don't learn if you dare not question, because what a liar says is much better than the truth. Even some people are false, which makes you afraid to question. In the end, although you meant well, you used the wrong theory. Once you read the hexagrams, it's cheating.

4, moral cultivation, although divination can be put aside, such as six hexagrams, the use of five elements of soil restraint, can complete the prediction, but if you do not learn easy, do not understand the heart of saints, do not understand the compassion of saints, it is easy to degenerate, and slowly become angry. In this way, learning stops, so any I ching master must be a person with high virtue. Without virtue, it is impossible to reach a real height in learning. So be careful.

5. About learning from teachers. We really hope to have a good teacher to guide us, but a good teacher is hard to find. "There is Bole in the world, and then there is a swift horse. This is common, but Bole is not." So, although you are interested in learning from the teacher, you may not be able to do it. At this time, you should be mentally prepared and study by yourself. Moreover, even if you learn from the teacher, you will not understand it yourself, and the teacher will not be willing to teach. It is fundamental to work hard by yourself.

I said a lot, whether it is useful or not, in short, I very much welcome learning the Book of Changes, and wish you success!
