How to have a life of "divination"

Gua, an ancient tool for divination, is a set of symbols symbolizing natural phenomena and personnel changes.

The Book of Changes consists of The Book of Changes and The Book of Changes. According to legend, The Book of Changes was written by Zhou Wenwang, while The Book of Changes was written by Xunzi, a great scholar at the end of the Warring States Period, and his disciples.

In the past six months, Shisan is not far from "entry".

First, I wrote a Book of Changes (in fact, I summarized your thoughts). Then, I took the opportunity to complete an article "The Sixty-four Gua Tong Shuo of Zhouyi" (mainly inductive arrangement).

Although the work of "induction and summary" has limited technical content, it can face millions of words of materials, and it can make people slim down once.

I'm good at doing something that I always attach importance to. Therefore, in line with the determination to pack it to the end, I just chewed up these materials mixed with vernacular, classical Chinese and semi-vernacular with a "master" mentality.

During that time, the first thing in the morning was to recite sixty-four hexagrams, including names and pictures. Then review the main idea of each hexagram against your notes. In my spare time, I have to arrange hexagrams in front of the mirror and play role-playing games with myself.

The process of memorizing the Book of Changes by rote every day just confirms a popular saying in the "dry goods circle" recently: deliberate practice.

The Book of Changes, as an ancient divination reference book (yes, it is a reference book), is inevitably complicated in interpretation, insufficient in space, and wrong in copying, leaving an obscure impression on future generations.

But when you continue to practice deliberately according to the materials you have, you can get a general understanding even in the face of the dilemma that the teaching material (the original book of changes) and the teaching assistant (the book of changes) are separated by thousands of years. Compared with those "masters" who are full of "sage like style", use copper coins to arrange hexagrams and look up dictionaries, the basic skills of masters are much more solid.

Everyone is eager to cross the difficult process and immediately have what they dream of. If you don't believe me, look around. How many glassy-eyed and intoxicated faces appear from time to time? Maybe it was the happiest moment of their day.

As I said before, I am best at continuing to do what I like. Among them, "optimism" is the premise. Just like today's topic "How to have a life of divination". If a person can understand heaven and earth and predict the future, isn't his life hanging by a thread? So I began to study Zhouyi with this naive fantasy.

However, with the deepening of study, the disappointment with the original intention is increasing day by day.

Up to now, apart from its profound philosophical significance, Zhouyi's functions of divination and prediction have long been lost. Searching the whole book, I didn't find an accurate explanation for divination. Many schools developed according to Zhouyi in later generations, such as plum blossom easy counting, physiognomy, physiognomy and bone touching, lack a rigorous theoretical system. They just "created" all kinds of so-called accurate "prediction" methods based on the so-called "Yin and Yang" and the founder's powerful analogy imagination, plus thousands of years of "big data" theory.

If the countless successful cases you have witnessed and heard and the brilliant image of "fortune teller" pop up in your mind at this moment, I can only give you one sentence: people always tend to remember those successful or willing to believe, and selectively forget a large number of failed cases.

To put it bluntly, the so-called masters of all walks of life "play" is "magnitude". The ancients knew nothing about probability, and as a result, a player who had been immersed in it for a long time gradually became a master of psychology, folklore and history in his long career, and some people were even good at magic. Coupled with years of customer accumulation, there will inevitably be a large number of successful cases, and there is a great chance that they will appear on the same person many times.

Once such a strong impression becomes a label, it proves the accuracy of the so-called "prediction" system. Although we all have weaknesses, when we are tired and weak, we all long to be saved. But when I showed you the fallacy that "if you believe, you will have it; if you don't believe, you will have nothing". Did you feel very upset and stop "spitting"?

If the above words hurt any friends who believe in this way, Shi San, I am here to apologize to you. There are many things in the world that can't be explained by so-called "common sense" and "logic", which has also inspired generations of heroes to pursue the truth. It is possible that one day you suddenly understand the "secret" and create a universal "numerology prediction method" for us.

It's just that so far, it's a little difficult to live a life of divination.

But that doesn't mean I don't pay attention to the study of Zhouyi.

First of all, you should believe in the importance of self-suggestion. Many "masters" can use their rich experience in reading people to help those who are at the bottom of their lives or are troubled by problems (similar to psychological counselors). It's just that they say selective absorption. If he tells you that "the next child will have a boy and a girl, and where to get rich", you might as well just listen and don't believe it.

Thirdly, I ching represents a very famous skill, but few people in the crowd can understand it. If you can do it with limited energy, why not? Create other possibilities for yourself. I don't want you to be a "master", but at least after meeting a "master", you can be kind.

Finally, Shisan will give you a shot of chicken blood. If you can finish reading the Book of Changes, which is obscure and has no accurate conclusion, what knowledge can't be learned in this world?

Be hard on yourself, don't be human, but be human to others. Experience it for yourself. In this way, your life will definitely open "hexagrams".
