Does the real Tai Chi exist?

About 1000 BC, Zhou Wenwang, the founder of Zhou Dynasty, was imprisoned by Shang Zhouwang, the last emperor of Shang Dynasty. According to Sima Qian's statement in Historical Records, Fuxi drew hexagrams and Wang did, and it was at this time that it was written.

About 500 years later, after traveling around the world to publicize his Confucianism, Confucius returned to his hometown to continue sorting out ancient documents, which was repeatedly ignored by the governors. At this time, Confucius discovered the greatness and magic of Zhouyi, so besides eating and sleeping, all his time, energy and thoughts were spent on studying and studying Zhouyi. In the last few years of his life, Confucius broke the cowhide rope connecting the bamboo slips of Zhouyi three times. After his death, his disciples compiled Yi Zhuan according to his research.

The book of changes and the book of changes together are the book of changes. Others refer to these ancient classics as "Zhouyi".

Zhouyi is composed of eight diagrams symbols and characters. The eight diagrams symbols are abstruse, while the characters are ancient and difficult to understand. Sixty-four hexagrams, each with six hexagrams. Six broken lines (-) or connecting lines (-) form different figures according to different structures. Each hexagram has one or two sentences, and each hexagram also has one or two sentences, which add up to Zhouyi. According to Yi Zhuan, the Eight Diagrams evolved from Tai Chi, that is, those who are prone to Tai Chi have two instruments, two instruments have four elephants, and four elephants have eight diagrams. Ignore the history of gossip and the Book of Changes before Zhou Wenwang. From "Wang Wenyi Yan" to today, the development and research history of Taiji Bagua and Yijing has been three thousand years.

For three thousand years, the research works and articles about Zhouyi and Taiji Bagua have been compared to "sweating like a pig". According to statistics, at present, there are more than 10,000 published books on the study of Yi. Up to now, more than 70 countries and regions in the world have established research organizations and institutions, and thousands of works in dozens of languages are still published and distributed around the world every year. "A hundred schools of thought say Yi" is far from summarizing and describing the actual situation of the development and research of Yi-ology.

In China, since the feudal society after Confucius, especially after Emperor Wu's "exclusive respect for Confucianism", the research and development of Yi-ology was mainly carried out under the cultural background of Confucius and Yi-zhuan. The Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty) is the first peak of the study of the Book of Changes in China's history after Confucius. However, the Yi-ology in the Han Dynasty originated from Heaven and Earth, traced back from Heaven and Earth, and originated from Confucius. The Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty are the second peak of the study and development of Yi in the history of China. During this period, all previously unseen Taiji diagrams, innate gossip and Hutuluo suddenly appeared, making Taiji Bagua and Zhouyi's sixty-four hexagrams even more mysterious. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, on the one hand, many people studied the origin and inheritance of Taiji Bagua and Hutuluo, on the other hand, many people painted many Yi Tu by themselves. The third peak of China's study of the Yi-ology should be in the contemporary era, that is, since China implemented the reform and opening-up policy in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it is currently at or approaching the peak.

There are three main reasons for the gradual climax of China's contemporary Yi-ology research: First, China's reform and opening up has provided a gradually relaxed social public opinion, ideological trend and academic environment, which marks the progress of the times and society; Secondly, the relationship between Leibniz's binary system and Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, Bohr's thought of complementary yin and yang between quantum mechanics and Taiji diagram, and the possible corresponding relationship between sixty-four biological genetic codes and sixty-four hexagrams. It has played a catalytic role in the study of the possible coincidence and docking between modern science and Taiji Bagua in Zhouyi. Thirdly, it directly promoted the harvest of contemporary archaeological excavations in China.

In the past twenty years, the mysteries of Taiji Bagua and Zhouyi have gradually become clear:

1978, Pang Pu published "On the Fire Calendar", arguing that China used fire calendars in ancient times and even in ancient times, and made calendars with "Big Mars" as the indicator of agricultural production. Later, Mr Pang Pu published an article about the existence of fire calendar.

1980, Zhang deciphered the eight or nine hundred-year-old unreadable digital hexagrams discovered since the Song Dynasty. It is found that there are a series of digital hexagrams in the bones of Shang and Zhou Oracle bones, pottery, bronzes and even Songze culture 5500 years ago, which greatly expands our horizons.

1986, under the background that scholars discovered the October solar calendar of Yi people, Chen proposed that both Yin and Yang five lines of gossip originated from ancient astronomical calendar and October solar calendar. The early "Tai Chi" refers to a year, "Yin and Yang" refers to two and a half years in winter and summer, "Four Elephants and Eight Diagrams" refers to four seasons and eight festivals, and "Five Elements" refers to five seasons in the October calendar.

1988, Lian Shaoming published Four Styles of Eight Diagrams in Shang Dynasty. By analyzing the four styles of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Shan Hai Jing and Shangshu in Yin Ruins? According to the research on the relevant materials in Yaodian, it is considered that the names of the four gods of four winds in Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Shang Dynasty are the same as those of the four hexagrams in the acquired eight diagrams, indicating that the acquired eight diagrams and the hexagrams (reflecting the relationship between the eight diagrams and astronomical calendars and seasons) can be traced back to Shang Dynasty at least, not the meeting attached by Qin and Han people.

1989, Chen deciphered the jade carving patterns unearthed from the Neolithic site in Lingjiatan, hanshan county, Anhui Province, and confirmed the existence of Luoshu and Bagua 5000 years ago.

1990, Shi Feng interpreted the plastic map of Tomb No.45 in Xishuipo, Puyang, Henan Province, and confirmed the existence of the theory of covering the universe with a round place 6500 years ago, which opened the way for exploring the establishment of the early twenty-eight lodging system 6500 years ago.

1993 The bamboo slips of "Gui Zang" unearthed at Wangjiatai, Jiangling, Hubei Province 15 fully confirmed the legendary "three changes" of Lianshan in summer, Gui Zang Shang Dynasty and Zhouyi, and it was possible that Lianshan and Gui Zang existed in history.

1999, Tian and Tian Feng published The Mystery of Ancient Calendars in China, holding that the sixty-four hexagrams are October in the solar calendar and the eight diagrams are August in the fire calendar.

200 1 Lu Shaogang published "Does Laozi's Thought Originate from the Book of Changes? Through the comparative analysis of ancient classics such as Laozi and Zhouyi, Laozi and Confucius, Vagina and Zhou Dao, Gui Zang and Yijing. It is believed that the thought of Laozi originated from Yi Yin's Kungan, not Zhouyi Pet-name ruby.

In 2003, Wang Xiansheng published "Understanding and Significance of the Decorations of Western Han Dynasty Wooden Lacquer Plate Unearthed in Mianyang", and interpreted and studied the Laozi Taiji Diagram and various Taiji Eight Diagrams symbols of Western Han Dynasty Wooden Lacquer Plate Unearthed in Mianyang, Sichuan Province, confirming that the Taoist Yi-ology in the early Western Han Dynasty still retained the original appearance of the ancient Yi-ology to a great extent, and it was closely or internally related to the ancient astronomical calendar, while the sudden emergence of Yi-ology in the Song and Ming Dynasties was related to Taoist Yi-ology and it. Taoist Yi and Taoist Yi originated from Tibetan, which is another Yi-ology inheritance system different from Zhouyi, Yi Zhuan and Confucianism. The discovery of Laozi's Taiji diagram and the identification of wood lacquer boards and a number of artifacts in Han Dynasty provide important clues, thinking methods and ideas for the identification of artifacts and various Taiji bagua symbols in prehistoric times.

At this point, it can be said that it is not far from our final solution to the mystery of Taiji Bagua and Zhouyi. The mystery of Taiji diagram and the eternal mystery of Song drawing science have been uncovered, and the predictions and fortune-telling of gossip and Zhouyi have lost their foundation. The dawn of civilization, science and rationality in the new millennium will shine on us.
