What does the enjoyment of Li Zhen in the Book of Changes mean?

△ Yuan Heng and Li Zhen: dry divination. Yuan: "Yuan, Heng, Reason and Truth" are four words in the Yuan hexagrams and Yuan epigrams in the Book of Changes. If these four words are not clear, then the understanding and interpretation of the whole Book of Changes will be biased or even wrong. As long as it comes to Yi, these four words are an unavoidable problem. The earliest explanation of these four words is the "classical Chinese" in Yi Zhuan, which is the "Ten Wings" mentioned earlier. "Classical Chinese" said: "Yuan, good and long, constant and good; Those who benefit, the sum of righteousness; Chastity, it's done. A gentleman's benevolence is enough to grow a man, kindness is enough to be polite, kindness is enough to be harmonious and righteous, and sages are enough to do it. Therefore, a person who practices these four virtues says: "dry, yuan, perseverance, reason and truth." "Like the explanation of the word' dry', later scholars basically hold this statement unchanged. If this explanation is correct, then this explanation does not apply to the second "Kun", because "Yuan Heng" is in "Kun". Li Zhizhen. " Is it hard for horses to be kind? Mr. Gao Feng raised an objection in the Notes on Zhouyi Ancient and Modern. Mr. Wang interprets the word "Yuan" as "Da" and thinks that all the words "Yuan" in Zhouyi mean "Da".

I think the word "yuan" should be interpreted as "beginning" and "beginning" and extended to "big" yuan, Oracle Bone Inscriptions wrote, and drew a horizontal line on "person" to indicate the position of the head. Yuan is the human head, and the top of the human head is the top of the human body. Therefore, the ancients regarded the human body as a small universe, and naturally regarded the human head as a "sky" and the human head was round, which was also in line with their cosmic theory that "the sky is round and the earth is round". Now people still call the top of the head "the crown of the skull", which is a reservation of ancient meaning; In addition, as soon as the child is born, the first part that comes out from the mother is the top of the head. According to these common laws of life, therefore, Oracle Bone Inscriptions summarized this phenomenon and agreed to write it as ",",which means "beginning, beginning, first". "Two ya? The book "Interpretation of the Ancient" says: "First, first, this, ancestor, yuan, decline, right, beginning. Therefore, the original meaning of "yuan" should be "beginning and beginning", that is, "first". Even now, people still call the head of a country "head of state". The head of a person is the first part of a person, so "head" is "yuan", which is very common in ancient Chinese, such as Zuo Zhuan? Thirty-three years: Gui Yuan means "Gui Tou". There are many such expressions in The Book of Songs, the first mature poetry collection in China. For example, in June, "Weave a bird chapter and leave a white heart. Rong Yuan times 10 to start the first time. " "Cai Mao": "Uncle Fang, strong, still strong. Fang Shu stopped, hearing is very ugly. "Artemisia argyi": "Zhou Bangxian is happy, proud and kind. Don't show Shen Bo, uncle, civil and military are constitutional "and so on. The word "Yuan" in the words "Fuehrer" and "Yuan Pei" that we often say now means first and foremost. These usages are the original meaning of the word "Yuan" and are the legacy of the old saying. As for "yuan", it should be regarded as "big". Now the "first" of a certain profession is also called "boss", but it also comes from "beginning". For example, "big uncle" and "big aunt" of "big" today mean "yuan" of "first", and later it was extended to "big" constant: Oracle Bone Inscriptions's writing, "is in the shape of a high platform, where objects are placed on it, which is dedicated to a higher" person "to enjoy. Higher "people" are "gods" or ancestors, so that ancestors or gods can enjoy what they offer. So the original meaning of "Heng" is "enjoyment". Therefore, in ancient Chinese,

In ancient times, ancestors offered sacrifices to ancestors or gods in order to let the victims enjoy "gifts" (the ancients called gifts to ghosts and gods sacrifices). The purpose was nothing more than two things, either to benefit themselves or to harm others. After enjoying the sacrifice, the worshipper was very happy and agreed to the request of the worshipper. God or ancestors "enjoy", they can be blessed or harmed; If the victim is not "constant" (that is, does not accept sacrifice), the victim will be afraid. Just like today's people give gifts to powerful people, if they accept them, they will be really happy; What if it is confiscated? At least I feel uneasy. Ancient sacrifices, in plain English, were gifts to gods, ghosts and ancestors. Can you accept them? It was a kind of divination, so I began to "predict" or "swear". What is the result of divination? The result was "Yuan Heng", that is to say, admirers liked it from the beginning, and admirers were very happy. It is beneficial to record this divination and this "chastity" activity. "Constant", worshippers also have a feeling of "auspiciousness". If there is no "heng" (enjoyment), then the admirer will feel unlucky. The idiom "ominous sign" still circulating today is the result of this kind of sacrifice in ancient times: if you don't enjoy the omen of sacrifice, the result will of course be bad. The "bad omen" in modern Chinese should come from the "bad omen" in ancestor sacrifice. If the ancestor didn't "enjoy", he certainly couldn't agree to your request. There is nothing wrong with future generations omitting the process and going straight to the point. Another meaning of "Heng" is "cooking", which means cooking now. This meaning often appears in the Book of Songs, such as Chutz's: "Or peel or be constant, or four or four. I am willing to offer sacrifices for you and Kong Ming. " "hairpin leaves": "hairpin leaves, the harvest is prosperous. Gentlemen have wine, taste it. " "Bandit Wind": "Who can catch fish to irrigate the kettle? Who goes back to the Western Heaven, good voice. " July: "Eat it in June, anemone wild oats in July" and so on. Therefore, in the Book of Changes, "Heng" should mean "enjoy and accept" and "Yuan Heng" should be interpreted as "enjoy from the beginning", so it is "auspicious". Pro: Li Oracle Bone Inscriptions wrote,,, with the word "He" on the left and the grain in the field with the fork of cultivated land on the right, indicating that the crops have been harvested and people have benefited from the field, which is beneficial to people. This "profit" comes from the "grain" in the field and is the original meaning of "profit". Like The Book of Songs? Daejeon: "There is a legacy and a lag. The interests of Iraqi widows. " In other words, during the autumn harvest, some surplus grain should be left in the field so that widows can get some benefits from it. Give the poor a way to live. The ancients more than 3,000 years ago all knew to take care of the disadvantaged groups. This is also a manifestation of the "benevolence" of the politicians. Confucius said in the Analects of Confucius: "Those who don't understand human feelings can't make an appointment for a long time and can't enjoy their strengths. The benevolent is benevolent, and the knower is benevolent. " Later, the word "profit" developed into all beneficial things, such as interests and profits. Zhen: Zhen Oracle Bone Inscriptions wrote,,,,,, and "D" and added a word. Most researchers think that tripod is a cooking utensil. It is a new phenomenon that vegetables and meat become delicious after being cooked in a tripod. Therefore, people seek divination in order to gain a new image and hope to get good omen, so "chastity" is called divination. Oracle, Oracle Bone Inscriptions wrote,,, I think: It should be the fragrance floating in the tripod, which is so high that worshippers enjoy it. Therefore, "chastity" should refer to a process of divination, that is, the process and result of "chastity". For example, in the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, the results of chastity are: good luck, good luck, good luck, fierce, stingy, severe, regretful and blameless. The "chastity" in the Book of Changes does not have the meaning of "chastity" and "faithfulness" in the sense of later generations, but only expresses the process and result of divination, diviners and so on. Lizhen: The result of chastity is favorable. ▲ Yuan Heng, Li Zhen: (The victim) enjoys (sacrifices) from the beginning, which is beneficial.
