Which side of a copper coin is positive and which side is negative?

Although divination is a very basic thing in the prediction of six hexagrams, because the ancients always only talked about the difference between words and backs, that is, literal and non-literal, but did not say which is yin and which is yang, which led to modern people's respective understanding of the concept of yin and yang. It seems to be a simple question which side of a copper coin is the front and which side is the back. In fact, it represents many things. Not long ago, I argued with Mr. Guan Naiqiao for a long time because of this problem. Here, I found some convincing information on the Internet and shared it with my friends. I also want to find some background knowledge for everyone before Mr. Pang Yulong's six-year course begins. From the method of divination, the definition of yin and yang in divination is as follows: one back, two words, called "single" It is Shaoyang who painted "▅ ▅ ▅". The word "two backs" is called "demolition", and painting "▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅9 Three backs, no words, are called "heavy", and painting "▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅9 These three words, of which there is no reply, are called "Jiao", and painting "Today's people learn easily, mostly from this book. The sages of Yi-ology used a fixed format long ago, and today people dare not disagree. Therefore, if we use the ancient bronze Qian Qi hexagrams, the arrangement method is not controversial, but why should we arrange them like this? However, there are various understandings, mainly the differences in understanding of Yin and Yang. Some people say that "Yang's back means Yin's right", while others say that "Yin's back means Yang's right", because it is customary in modern times to say that positive and negative are not used to talking about Yin and Yang, but in fact, many people have begun to study whether the positive side represents the positive side or the negative side, which is really like the closure of the six countries. Some people even hold another view that divination is the product of ideas and is naturally dominated by people's subjective ideas. I think which side is positive is positive, and everything must be decided by people's thoughts. The difference of these concepts is reflected in the arrangement of hexagrams in modern coins. According to different understandings, using modern coins to shake hexagrams can actually discharge several different hexagrams. Which one is correct? Everyone has his own opinion. They all say that their methods are the most correct, and divination is proof. Once, a famous Yi-ology scholar told me about divination with dry copper coins, saying, "Divination with dry copper coins is the most ingenious. The coins written in ancient books refer to "dry copper coins". The side with Chinese characters is the word, and the side without words and patterns is the back. Of course, the word side is positive and the back side is negative. Don't you think treason and betrayal are the same thing? Therefore, the word represents the positive and the back represents the negative. However, he doesn't know that the copper coin in his hand is actually two sides. The "pattern" he thinks is actually Manchu. The method of shaking money didn't start in the Qing dynasty, and there was no copper coin before. How did the ancients start divination? Copper coins in the Ming dynasty have words on one side and no words on the other. Does the ancient meaning of "back" really mean "opposite"? Is there no other explanation? For example, it means "the other side" As far as I ching theory is concerned, if a word represents a positive, then all three words are positive and there is no negative. How can the Book of Changes show the "old yin"? What's even more strange is that it will become "shaoyang", and everything that is yang can become "shaoyang"? Is it rejuvenation? Obviously, this is an illogical explanation. A scholar assured me that I think words definitely represent the dark side, oh! I'm all ears now! Then explain: "You see, a word has two backs, which is a small yin, that is to say, a negative side has two positive sides, and the negative side is a minority, so it is called' small yin', which is easy to understand. "Ha ha, I almost fainted! Does the word "less" really mean how much? After all, there are great differences between ancient and modern concepts, so we can't explain the views of the ancients with the concepts of modern people. Modern people's point of view is that the word goes north and south, and the word looks from the left, and zero is the beginning of the day; However, the ancient people's concept is that the word is from the right, and midnight (23: 00) is the beginning of the day. Since we should follow the ancient divination methods and theories, is it reasonable to understand and explain them with the concept of modern people? Maybe someone wants to say, can't we do it in a way that everyone agrees with? You see, even coin appraisers say that ancient coins with words are positive and those without words are negative. Why take them seriously? Yes, but after all, I am not a person who studies Yihe archaeology. Is the Yi people's knowledge and customs recognized by most people correct? After knowing Yi, I always feel a little ironic during the New Year. In every corner of today's public opinion, the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse are actually divided by the first day of New Year's Eve, not the day in beginning of spring. At 24 o'clock on New Year's Eve, the host of the Spring Festival Evening will shout: The Year of the Pig is here! Then there was boiling in all directions, and TV stations rushed to report how many babies were born as "pig heads". Congratulations! ! Everyone is shouting, but they don't know that the real Year of the Pig will come a few days before the day of "beginning of spring". These well-born babies are actually dogs. If you have a slight objection, you will be ridiculed immediately: "Are you a pig? Is zero, not counting the year of the pig "? I don't agree with the view that the nature of Yin and Yang is determined by people's subjective thoughts. I think which side is the positive side is the positive side. Is this true for everything in the objective world? I think you are a woman. Are you a woman? Hehe, it's a bit like calling a deer a horse. Having said so much, only one sentence is the most useful. If you are not a person who is keen on "delving into the dead end", you must make great efforts to find out which side of "Zibei" is yang and which side is yin. You must use real money for divination. If you don't understand it, just play dumb, regardless of which side of "Zibei" is right or wrong. Just take the ancient copper coins and arrange divination according to the instructions of ancient books, regardless of whether there is literal support for divination. The objective definition of Yin and Yang: Which statement is correct? In fact, the key to the definition of yin and yang of coins does not lie in the advantages and disadvantages of "word and back", nor in the dominance of subjective concepts. The key is to observe the objective nature of things. Without objective environmental conditions, there is no "easy" space. The sky is clear, the earth is cloudy, the sky is vast and empty, and the animals and plants on the ground are full of entities; At four o'clock a day, the land is bound by it; Therefore, the essence of Yin and Yang is that the deficiency of Yin is real, the simplicity of Yin is complex, the manifestation of Yin is hidden, the rigidity of Yin is soft, Yin is internal, Yin is male, Yin is female, heaven and earth are combined to give birth to everything, and men and women are combined to give birth to offspring. Why does the Book of Changes take dry divination as the first priority and Kun divination as the second? Why do only Gankun, two of the sixty-four hexagrams, enjoy the special treatment of "using nine and using six"? It can be said that "heaven and earth" is the general basis for the mutual change of yin and yang in Zhouyi, and it is also the origin of the composition of Yijing. Coins are no exception, and we must follow the essential law of this thing. Therefore, coins should be distinguished by the principle of "simplicity is positive and complexity is negative". Based on this, the conclusion is completely consistent. As follows: ★ Song and Ming coins (with words on one side and no words on the other): the words are the "word" side and the words are the "back" side. Distinguish yin and yang with the principle of excess and deficiency. Virtual back (without literal) represents positive, while solid back (with literal) represents negative. The three fronts are "Lao Yang" and the yang is exhausted, so the three backs of ancient books are "Lao Yang"; The recipe of three yin is "old yin" and the exhaustion of yin is "shaoyang", so the word "old yin" is used in ancient books. ★ Qing Dynasty coins (one side is Chinese and the other is Manchu): Chinese is the "character" side, and Manchu is the "back" side. Distinguish yin and yang by simple and complicated principles. The back surface with simple texture (full text surface) represents the front surface, and the literal surface with complex texture (Chinese surface) represents the back surface. The three fronts are "Lao Yang" and the yang is exhausted, so the three backs of ancient books are "Lao Yang"; The recipe of three yin is "old yin" and the exhaustion of yin is "shaoyang", so the word "old yin" is used in ancient books. Therefore, it can be inferred that regardless of ancient and modern coins, the principle of "simplicity is positive and complexity is negative" should be used to objectively distinguish between yin and yang. Understand this truth, the distinction between yin and yang of coins becomes very clear. For example, if a foreign coin is placed in front of you, what principle do you use to distinguish between yin and yang? Pattern? Numbers? Your own subjective thoughts? Or something else? It's simple. For all coins, you don't care what shapes or patterns they are, and you don't care whether you can read them. You just need to compare the two sides. Which side is relatively complex in shape is the female side, and the relatively simple side is the male side. For another example, suppose you have three round pieces of metal in your hand, both sides of which are smooth and grain-free. How can you turn it into a tool for divination? How to define yin and yang? The answer is to mark either side of the three metals, then the marked side becomes tangible, tangible is real, while the other side is still smooth, intangible, intangible is virtual, virtual is positive, and real is negative, thus objectively defining Yin and Yang, which can be used as a tool for divination. Postscript: Some people say that you don't have to use Gan Long Bao Tong to divine the six hexagrams. I also took out the fake money I bought in the market when I asked Mr. Pang Yulong about the six-skill method. 20 1 1 In March, my teacher brought me three copper coins issued by the Ministry of Industry before going to Shanghai. Seriously, it's true or false, and it can be used when necessary. Think about the society now, there are enough fakes. Do you still want to lie to yourself after asking the truth?
