The origin and evolution of plum blossom easy number

The plum blossom easy number can produce the phase difference of all the perceived things in nature or human society, such as sound, orientation, time, movement, geography, time, people, colors, animals and plants, etc., as a method to predict its development trend. Therefore, we can gain insight into its opportunities and achieve the effect of knowing ourselves and ourselves. The origin of plum blossom number is said to be a secret method handed down by Taoist Ma Yi and Chen Xiyi, and later it became a commonly used mental change number by Mr. Shao Kangjie in the Northern Song Dynasty. After this number was handed down from generation to generation by Mr. Shao, it also made Yi Xue have great practical value in the field of divination, and named it Meihua Yishu. The origin of its name, according to legend, one day, Mr. Shao Kangjie entered Shang Huashi in Meiyuan and happened to see two sparrows arguing in a branch. Later, he saw two sparrows suddenly fighting for branches and fell to the ground. When Mr. Shao saw this phenomenon, he changed the number with the heart meridian, thinking that it would not be occupied by empty space. Now he sees two sparrows fighting for branches and falling to the ground for no reason. How strange! He took it because he thought something was wrong. He said: tomorrow, a girl from the neighbor will climb the plum blossom, and the gardener will drive it away without knowing it. Neighbor girls will fall from plum trees in panic and hurt their thighs. Then it really came true. Later scholars named this method "plum blossom easy counting" because they thought it was special and could break things unrelated to the divination theme, which other kinds of divination could not achieve.

Meihua Yijing originated from Yijing. What is the Book of Changes? First, variation, a chaotic phenomenon, a small change can affect the development of things (butterfly effect); Everything in the universe is changeable, changing all the time, and so is personnel. The second is simplicity, one yin and one yang, which contains the principle of everything; Every day, there are land, men and women, ups and downs, and before and after, all of which are complementary and unified. Third, it is not easy. Although things in the world are complicated and changeable, one thing will never change, and that is the law. Heaven and earth run, the four seasons rotate, cold and summer alternate, Leng Xia is hot in winter, the monthly profit and loss, the sun is biased, and the extremes will be reversed. This is the law.

The development of everything has definite numbers and variables, and definite numbers have laws to follow, while variables have no laws to follow; Fixed number contains variables, and variables also contain fixed numbers, and the overall situation of both fixed numbers and variables remains unchanged. Most Yi scholars in ancient and modern times do not distinguish between definite numbers and variables, which confuses this concept. "Fixed number" (law) can predict its development trajectory according to the regularity of things, while "change" (irregularity) cannot be accurately predicted because of impermanence and too many variable factors.

Although everything is complicated and changeable, it also has eternal laws. Since there is a regular side, we can calculate its development track and trend according to these things combined with some known factors in Yi Li.
