What are the attributes of the Book of Changes? Why are there these four attributes? What does it stand for?

The original meaning of knot is knot. In the era of knotting notes, a rope is knotted one by one to show a certain meaning. When observing the change of the sun shadow with the original corona, eight ropes were used, each rope was divided into three sections with knots in them. Eight ropes were used, so Bagua Palm was once called "Bagua Palm". Eight ropes are connected in a row, from "Eight Hanging" to "Eight Diagrams", and three pieces of rope become three hexagrams, representing three elements of an observation record. "Yao" and "Yao" are homophonic and can be understood as "elements". Zhou Wenwang doesn't necessarily use ropes to express Yi, but he may use fingers or palm parts to express the three yin and yang information of hexagrams. It was not until the Song Dynasty that there were hexagrams and gossip represented by straight lines. Three hexagrams are called classics, and two classics form other hexagrams. The classic hexagrams in the lower part of other hexagrams are the main hexagrams, representing the main party; The upper part is the guest, representing the guest.

On the origin of six hexagrams:

(1) The sun scene recorded in the standard table says: Liu Jue put forward the gossip in 1946, which originated from the sun shadow recorded in Tugui. Liu Jue thinks that the scene track of the sun from sunrise to sunset can be divided into three stages: "Dan, noon and faint", which are similar to the first noon, noon and noon in the weather forecast; The trajectory of the sun scene is drawn with thick solid lines on sunny days, and with two thin solid lines on cloudy days when there is no scene or the image is unclear. Thick solid line is Yang ━, thin solid line is Yin ━; In this way, the three hexagrams representing Dan, noon and faint overlap to form a hexagram, which represents a record graph of the weather of a day.

(2) arrow said. It is believed that Yin and Yang are symbols of bamboo joints or yarrow used for divination. According to Gao Feng's Zhouyi Ancient Classics Today and others' notes, a piece of bamboo or a yarrow is "-",and two pieces of bamboo or a broken yarrow is "-".

(3) Gui Zhao said that ancient divination, burning tortoise shells, according to its omen to determine good or bad, tortoise shells omen is summarized and formed. Qu Wanli's Yi Gua originated from Gui Bu Kao and Yu's The Times and Authors of Yi Gua Yi Ci, and Japanese Seiji Honda's Zuo Yi Shi Kao holds this view.

(4) Knot the rope. The Book of Changes says that Fu "tied the rope into a net, separated from the tenant fishing and the cover." "The ancient knot rule, later saints easy to use books; A hundred officials rule, the people keep it, and cover the shackles. " Zheng Xuan guessed in the Eastern Han Dynasty that great events in ancient times were tied up and little things were summarized. Li and others believe that yang and yin are the reflection of ancient knots, and there are no knots and knots. Or think that "-"is a big knot and ""is two summaries. "Three" are the three main knots. "Three Three" is six summaries. The specific method remains to be said. Li's discussion on the origin of Zhouyi, Fan's introduction to Yijing and Chen Daosheng's re-discussion on the origin of gossip all hold this view.

(5) The sun, the moon and the stars said that Meng's "five-star essence is scattered in sixty-four, and it is endless." In modern science, the Yi School believes that "Yang" originated from the image of the sun and "Yin" originated from the image of the moon.

(6) the theory of male and female genitalia. It is believed that yang and "-"symbolize male roots, while yin and "-"symbolize female yin. Zhang Dayan's Book of Changes, Qian's reply to Mr. Gu Jiegang, and Guo Moruo's Research on Ancient China Society all hold this view.

(7) Calculation and preparation theory. It is believed that the hexagram is the shape used by the ancients, and the yang hexagram represents five. Yin stands for one, similar to Roman numerals, adding and subtracting on the basis of five. Budd, a western scholar, believes that gossip originated from ancient computing tools and is the shape of calculation. Characteristics of China's Arithmetic, written by Mishima Miyoshi, is also the main point.

The symbols that constitute hexagrams in Zhouyi. In the Eight Diagrams,-⊙ means Yang, while-⊙ means Yin. Every three hexagrams, you can get gossip; If the two hexagrams (six hexagrams) are heavier, you will get sixty-four hexagrams, which are called other hexagrams. He means alternation and change.

I am familiar with the gossip. -"My Leisure Review-Pearl Edge"

Change your words if you are stubborn. -"Yi copula"

Another example is: law (changing temperament); Xiang Xiang (the image of things represented by the intersection of six hexagrams of Zhouyi; Trace)

The title of this speech is "Interpretation of Zoning"

Although holding "Zhongfu", I am still tired of reading brocade poems. -The First Shishou City by Xie Lingyun in Southern Song Dynasty

Another example: painting (referring to the "Yi" hexagram); Department (rhetoric); Words (words that explain the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes); change of heart
