Questions about the History of the Three Kingdoms

From ancient times to modern times, Guan Ju, a plain man in the Three Kingdoms period, should definitely say that the application level of Yi Xiang in Guan Ju has reached a certain height. His life story is recorded in the History of the Three Kingdoms by Chen Shou and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, and also described in other books such as Guan Ju Biezhuan and Zhouyi Dictionary. After a lot of descriptions by historians, novelists and some post-scholars, Guan Ju is no longer the one described by historian Chen Shou who likes telling jokes and joking at dinner, but people like him and don't respect him. On the contrary, he regards Guan, who is approachable and knowledgeable, as a fairy in myth. There is no doubt that Guan Ju's Yi-ology attainments are also an unattainable peak in Yi You's mind. The author thinks that focusing on Guan Ju with this magical vision is neither a respect for Mr. Guan Ju nor an expectation of Guan Ju before his death, and it is not conducive to our inheritance, innovation and learning. It can only make mysterious knowledge more mysterious and blind admirers more blind. Therefore, from the perspective of carrying forward the traditional Yi-ology culture, we should do everything possible to explore positive and effective ways and methods from the existing materials of Guanju, so as to make Guanju go down the altar, climb the peak of Yi-ology left by Guanju, approach the mysterious door of Yi-ology, explore and excavate positive and beneficial classical speculative philosophy, guide today's life practice and shape a better tomorrow.

Cherish history and look forward to the future. To really study Mr. Guan Ju's thought of Yi-ology, we should start with the examples of Mr. Guan Ju's Yi-ology. To this end, the author has repeatedly read the articles about Guan Ju in The History of the Three Kingdoms and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After the author published the article "A glimpse of Guan Lu", he found a new perspective to study Guan Lu.

There are three examples in the "Three Kingdoms". Guan Ju analyzes and judges the development law of things according to the birds' stopping and singing. The first example: when Guan Ju went to Guo En's house again, he met a giant pigeon perched on the roof beam, and his singing was very sad. Guan Yu said, "Tomorrow, an old man will come from the east with a pig and a pot of wine. Although the owner is happy, there will be an episode. " The next day, sure enough, a family member came, just like a fortune teller. Guo En told his family to drink less, abstain from meat and be careful about fire prevention, but he beat a pheasant to cook. The arrow shot out of the Woods quickly and hit a girl's hand, bleeding to the point of fear (from the vernacular part of the History of the Three Kingdoms on page 564 of Zhongzhou Ancient Books Publishing House). In the second case, Guan Lu killed her husband according to Liu Changren's flying magpie; The third example is that Guan pheasant saw a male pheasant flying in Wang Hongzhi's house and landing on the clock head of Wang Hongzhi's house. Wang Hongzhi must have been promoted in May of that year, which proved to be successful. These short stories are all related to birds, but the results are different. Were they invented by historians? Or are these short stories really mysterious? The author agrees with the latter conclusion. Since this paper analyzes the first short story, the author will analyze the second and third short stories about Guan Lu's flying birds one after another, and study Guan Lu's Yi series from other angles.

Many friends read the story of Guan Yu's fragility, and they think Guan Yu is amazing, or look at such a case, but it is impossible to study it. Some friends may think that Guan Lu used an external response, or he just divined, so it is ok to study some materials. However, it seems impossible to interpret this short story reasonably. Friends who don't understand the easy application can't believe that such a detailed example can be given according to the birds' songs. This kind of contact is purely illusory, or unscientific and unreasonable in specification, and even more incomprehensible. If you want to study this, you can't believe it.

So how to study and analyze the subtle principle in this short story?

Let's discuss how Guan Ju connected listening to birds and watching giant pigeons with Guo En's family and other irrelevant things. First of all, we find out the known conditions used by Mr. Guan Lu for prediction: 1, the giant pigeon stays on the roof beam of Guo En's house; 2. The giant pigeon is very sad. These two known conditions are related by the media of Yixiang Ganzhi: 1. The next day, an old man visited from the East. 2. Bring a pig and a pot of wine; Although the host is very happy, there will still be an episode. Secondly, according to the medium of divinatory symbols, we can relate the chirping of giant pigeons with what happened in Guo En's family. Judging from the number of images, the giant pigeon can be regarded as a divinatory symbol, and the roof beam can be regarded as a divinatory symbol, because the house is earth, the beam head is a shock of nailing wood, the yin wood is a divinatory symbol, and the Song Dynasty is very sad as a message exchange divinatory symbol. From Li Gua, Gen Gua and Dui Gua, it can be seen that Gen Gua is the information image of Guo Enjia's roof, so Gen can be regarded as one of the most closely related information about what happened in Guo Enjia, that is to say, what happened in Guo Enjia is all around Gen Gua. The giant pigeon stopped on the beam, giving birth to the image of helping the soil to stay away from the fire, which the bird called the image of the second change of mind. The change of divination into haiku is the initial and final information of the development of events. Some people always divide hexagrams into body hexagrams and use them in the name of Shao Kangjie in the Northern Song Dynasty, regarding body hexagrams as their own side and the other side related to themselves. This division method is very effective in practice, and it is also welcomed and loved by the majority of Yi friends, but it also has some defects, that is, the division of body and use is too clear. For example, in the process of predictive reasoning, there will be a rigid and mechanical move. In fact, body and use are only two analog symbols set to simulate the development and change of two things, and should not be a fixed layer of analog information pattern symbols. Therefore, when we study the application of Yi Li, we should break through the fixed thinking pattern of the distinction between body and use from the heart and thinking concept. According to the simulation form of body and function, the relationship between body and function can be changed flexibly, and the application of Yi Li in practice will be vivid. As mentioned above, the divination is the information of Guo En's family, so I didn't play it according to the divination routine in The Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms. The reason is that the root itself represents the house, and the hidden wood is the beam of the house. If I use it as a six-pointed star again, I will regard it as a body, but I will regard Gen as the basic information that obviously does not conform to the simulation. This is not to say that leaving the fire cannot represent the information of Guo En's family. When the time is right, you can refer to the hexagrams that reflect the main information and take photos to decipher the unknown information.

As long as we change our ideas, the relationship between body and use will become a flexible law. Of course, what needs to be explained here is that when the fixed relationship between body and function stipulated in the Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms is useless, if there is no good foundation, it is better not to change it, or to follow the principle of "there are laws to follow, offenders will be prosecuted and law enforcement will be strict", otherwise you will not be able to use it flexibly, but you will be confused about the laws of learning. This paragraph reminds friends to act according to their own situation and work hard in their studies.

In the eyes of Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period, there should be no rigid concept of Yi Li. Friends can understand this principle through the application example of Yi Li in Guan Ju. Let's take a look at the example of Guan Ju listening to birds singing and watching giant pigeons at Guo En's house. Whether in ancient times with backward technology or today with highly developed technology, it is normal for a big bird to croak in the room. However, in Guan Ju's eyes, these ordinary things are extraordinary. Because birdsong is related to the good or ill luck of people or things related to birds. So how did Guan Ju infer what happened to Guo En's family the next day based on the known birdsong and perch beam? The author believes that no matter what method Mr. Guan Ju uses to recruit gods, it is inseparable from the changes of Yin and Yang, five elements and the number of images. Therefore, according to Guan's birdsong example, the author finds out the following ideas to analyze Guan Lu's observation of Guo Enjia's birdsong: First, we should be sensitive in catching birds and corresponding in images. The so-called keen capture is to be good at finding something different from others from what is common in the eyes of ordinary people. This quality is not possessed by everyone, but tempered by long-term study, observation, thinking and accumulated practice. The correspondence between objects and images means that things in the universe should be skillfully connected with divinatory symbols through telepathy. This connection should be both reasonable and reasonable. In this way, the vivid information captured by organs such as eyes and ears, after being processed by emotional sources, turns objects into hexagrams, which is reasonable. For example, Guan Ju's birdsong and the huge pigeons and beams he saw were transformed into Li Gua, Gen Gua, Dugua and Gan Gua (the information of Gan Gua was taken from the beams). The second is to reason and infer good and bad luck. According to the analysis principle that the divinatory symbols of Gen and Gan represent Guo En's family, Guanju learned that Guo En's family should be happy to benefit from it, and further confirmed it according to the information that the divinatory symbols of Gen and Gan symbolize good luck. According to the bird song, the number of redemptions is 2, which means that it will come true the next day. At the same time, according to the sad factors of bird songs, we can predict small events in the future with keen senses. The principle is that there is more auspicious information and less ominous information. Third, a wonderful performance is easy to be liked and the spirit should be auspicious. Guan Zhi called the giant pigeon divination and the dry divination as divination, which means that it is a symbol of reunion. So how to reunite? Who is the object of the reunion celebration? Where did it come from? Then, according to the fact that people are born without fire, another question arises, that is, what did the newcomers bring? Finally, according to the bird's plaintive cry, what little trouble will happen? These problems can be said to be a piece of cake for Guan Lu, who has been practicing for many years and has a solid foundation of easy learning and easy use, so he immediately judged and analyzed the plot in the above story. The reason is that Liang tou represents both dry divination and earthquake divination, because the epicenter contains the information of Liang tou. Away from the fire (giant pigeon) is a good thing from abroad, and because the image of the house in Liuyi Middle School is for parents, and the stem represents the old father's affinity with the old man, it is led by an old man, and because the source of away from the fire is that the wood is the East, plus the information that the beams of the house are connected with the wood in the East, the old man comes from the East, and because he hides in the work room (because the number of stalks is one! ) Then, the number of sticks is 3, the number of sticks is 7, and the total number is 10, which means that Tuzhi is a pig elephant, and Gangong is also an old man carrying a pig. Dry is round for gold, and because of hiding the sea fire storehouse, there is a certain degree of water for wine, and dry is a hip flask made of metal, so an old man from the East is carrying a pig and a pot of wine, because this is a sign that the old man came to his house because he was away from the fire. Away from the fire, dry in the palace, for the sea as a pig, for the pig, for the door, for the hand, for the glass. The stem is the head of the roof beam, and the root is also the head of the roof beam, which is the image of the old man coming to the door. The biggest water loss in dry sea is killing pigs and drinking. Leaving the fire is a message of happiness, and there is a sign of reunion in the fire. So no matter how you put the image in an instant, it was strong enough for Guan Lu to tell Guo En bluntly, but Guan Lu also took into account the mournful elements in the call of the giant pigeon. That is to say, the two movements of volcanic travel divination have become burning tripod divination, and divination is reversed, which is unlucky information. Because divination is divorced from life, divination is not afraid of anti-divination, and there is a little episode. But the problem is not big. As a result, the little girl outside the mountain forest was injured by an arrow and was bleeding. Maybe Guan Lu didn't feel it or didn't want to elaborate, so we won't comment for the time being. As far as what happened is concerned, it's all in the hexagrams. The information at the head of the beam is rooted in a mountain forest, but it is like an earthquake, while the wooden master bends straight into a bow, and the two sticks bend into unitary arrows, which are the images of archers and change their hearts into chickens. Because of the change of roots, they should have the information characteristics of roots, and roots are for mountains and fields. The two movements are the information of a little girl, and the rafters can both represent the information of the arm. Rafters are symbols of making money and playing, and rafters are symbols of playing when a little girl is discouraged by fire. The environment is outside the mountain, because the rafters are away from the roots and are like outside the forest. Two hexagrams to Jin Dongke, like a little girl's arm injury, there are signs of bleeding from the fire. The author's personality is similar to Guan in some places. When analyzing this case, he also interpreted and analyzed Mr. Guan's example bluntly, regardless of whether it was in line with Mr. Guan's fragility at that time, whether it could be understood and accepted by academic circles, and whether it was criticized or attacked. In a word, according to the basic principle of "easy as a dry branch", the author excavates and deciphers this bird's pavilion with only one purpose, to expand thinking, enrich friends' minds and wisdom, and constantly promote the application of Yi-ology. At the same time, more Yi friends are also welcome to participate, inherit the essence of the traditional Yijing, carry forward Guan Lu's Yi-ology spirit, and learn from his flexible use of Shen Yi's four-Ming tactic. Let's mourn Guan Lu with such actions! He is a wizard in the history of Yi-ology, and also a wizard of our Chinese nation. If you want to learn the application of Yi-ology well, it is right to take the road of Guanluo.

Guan Ju's talent is enviable, his personality makes us admire, his Yi-ology attainments make us sigh, and his story makes us intoxicated. Guan Lu's deeds of studying hard and studying hard will always be the driving force for us to learn and progress.

The reason why we admire Guan Lu so much is not to create new myths by raising flags, but to make a fair evaluation of Guan Lu from an objective angle. Because as long as we look at Chen Shou's The Three Kingdoms and find Guan Ju's biography in Ji Fang, as long as you read the story carefully, you will be attracted by Guan Ju's legendary story and feel admired. Imagine that if Guan Ju's thought of learning and using the Book of Changes is transferred to other fields, it will certainly be conducive to the innovation and development of his field, thus promoting the progress of the whole field. These touching stories of Guan Ju are treasures in the treasure house of China's thinking art philosophy. Therefore, it is of far-reaching significance for us to study Guan Ju's Yi-ology and inherit and carry forward Guan Ju's Yi-ology spirit.
