Why did the emperor call it the Ninth Five-Year Plan? What does the Ninth Five-Year Plan stand for? What's the special significance?

The numbers "nine" and "five" are closely related to all aspects of feudal court life, including architecture, and have supreme symbolic significance, which can only be enjoyed by feudal emperors. What is the reason?

To put it simply, in ancient China, numbers were divided into positive and negative numbers, odd numbers were positive and even numbers were negative. Nine is the highest yang number, with five in the middle, so "nine" and "five" symbolize the authority of the emperor and are called "the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan".

Another view is that the word "Ninth Five-Year Plan" comes from the Book of Changes. The handed down version of the Book of Changes is said to be played by Zhou Wenwang, so it is also called the Book of Changes. The first of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi is the dry hexagram, which symbolizes the sky, so it becomes the hexagram representing the emperor. The dry divination consists of six Yang divinations, the anode and the prosperous pole. Counting from the bottom up, the fifth one is called the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Nine means that this plan is a positive plan, and five means the fifth plan. The ninth five-year plan is the best of the dry hexagrams, which is the first of the sixty-four hexagrams, so the ninth five-year plan is the first of the sixty-four hexagrams and the first of the three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams, which has become the emperor's phase. The "nine" here is not a specific number, but a symbol to distinguish the yin and yang attributes of numbers. Later, people used "Nine" and "Five" as specific figures, thinking that one was to fit the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" representing the emperor; Furthermore, the use of the numbers "nine" and "five" in architecture is also in line with aesthetic principles. The paraphrases in the Book of Changes include "the change of the avenue, each with its own destiny, is conducive to maintaining harmony and chastity". The origin of the name of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is said to come from this.

Zhouyi, one of the oldest classics in China, has always been regarded as the first of the six classics, which has a far-reaching influence on all fields of the Chinese nation. Therefore, it should be more credible that the word "Ninth Five-Year Plan" originated from Zhouyi.

"Respect the Ninth Five-Year Plan" has long been an idiom, but many people don't know what it means.

Because the clumsy book The Code of Fables is about to be published in a new edition with annotations, "Ninth Five-Year Honor" is also among the annotations. I think this is the traditional knowledge of China culture, and it is not convenient for me to explain it to others. I'd better find an authoritative explanation, so I went through all my work at home.

As a result, most reference books do not accept this article except Ci Hai and Dictionary of Idioms.

China Idiom Dictionary has the article "Ninth Five-Year Plan", which is explained as follows: "Ninth Five-Year Plan: The hexagrams in the Book of Changes are regarded by astrologers as the symbol of the monarch, because it refers to respect for the emperor." (Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House, 656 pages, 1987 edition)

There are "Ninth Five-Year Plan" articles in Ci Hai, which are explained as follows: "The Book of Changes is the name of hexagrams. Nine, Yang Yao; Five, five. Ganyi:' flying dragon in the ninth five-year plan is good for meeting adults.' Confucius said:' It is said that the sun was shining high in the sky during the Ninth Five-Year Plan, so the dragon was in the sky ...' Just like a saint with a dragon virtue, he flew and lived in the sky.' Later, because' Ninth Five-Year Plan' refers to the throne. "(ellipsis. Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House, Cihai 1999 (87 1 page)

These two items are useful for foreigners who don't know much, and can be used as the standard answers in TOEFL, but they are basically useless for China people who already know that the Ninth Five-Year Plan refers to the emperor. Both of them only say "what", not "why".

I searched the internet again, hoping to find the authoritative explanation of the "Yi Xue Jia". I didn't expect that the "Yi-ology scholar" was also vague, saying nine things and five things, hoping that literature would give birth to meaning. This shows that those Yi-ology scholars are ignorant. As a last resort, I, a person who knows nothing about easy learning, have to explain it this way-the explanation is too complicated, the reader will be bored to death, and this kind of knowledge is useless at all. The ancient fools in China were very proficient in this useless knowledge. It can be said that the deceived are stupid, but the deceived are not stupid. However, modern fools are far behind their predecessors. They are so stupid that I don't even know what to say to people who are fooled by such fools.

Eight hexagrams (Gan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui) are all three hexagrams (composed of eight hexagrams respectively, overlapping up and down). When divining with Zhouyi, we should not only determine what kind of divination it is, but also what kind of divination it is, divination, divination, divination, divination, divination, divination, divination, divination, divination, divination, divination.

Since it is so important to determine the specific location in Zhong Yi, each location must be named, and the name is represented by two numbers. Generally speaking, the first few are Yin and Yang of Ming Dynasty: Yang said nine, Yin said six; The order of the last number is from bottom to top: the first (that is, one), the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth. So 92, 93, 64, 65, the first number represents yin and yang, and the last number represents order. But the first thing at the bottom is the opposite of the last thing at the top, that is, the ninth day, the sixth day, the ninth day and the sixth day are in front, and the yin and yang are behind. So the Ninth Five-Year Plan is called the fifth place. However, as long as the fifth idea is a positive idea, it is called the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan only refers to the fifth idea of flying into the sky.

Or ask: since "Shangjiu" is the highest, followed by "Ninth Five-Year Plan", why not call it "Shangjiu" but "Ninth Five-Year Plan"? Covering our country's thoughts, there are "fullness is harmful, modesty is beneficial" (Shangshu), "Knowing men and women, knowing white and keeping black" (Laozi), "Too much is not enough" (Analects of Confucius), "Empty is right, middle is right, full is full" (Xunzi) and "all are necessary." In Yi's words, "repolarization must be stripped" and "Tai Chi must be reversed". Therefore, "Shang Jiu" says "Kang Long has regrets", and Yi Wen says: "Kang Long has regrets, and poverty is also a curse. Say it out loud and you'll know, and then you won't return it. If you know existence, you won't know death. If you know, you don't know you lost. He who knows how to advance and retreat without losing his righteousness is a saint? " As the saying goes, "The higher you climb, the worse you fall."

The ninth five-year plan is not to show respect, but to show retreat. "The son of heaven" is also the son of heaven. The sky is the highest, ranking ninth. Even if you are the son of heaven, you can only rank ninth. It can be seen that "the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan" is an unreasonable theory and a slave's flattery to the emperor.
