The essence of digital hexagrams and the origin of Yi hexagrams

The Eight Diagrams Theory evolved from the number of hexagrams of 1 and the number of hexagrams of Zhang: 1980 published in the Journal of Archaeology, A Trial Interpretation of the Eight Diagrams in the Early Zhou Dynasty is a pioneering work in the field of digital divination research. This paper studies a number of digital divination unearthed in the 20th century, and holds that there were a large number of divination (digital divination) first. In the Warring States period, these specific numerical values were simplified to binary odd-even number symbols (represented by one or six numbers), and then evolved into abstract binary yin-yang symbols (represented by yin-yang gossip) from the end of the Warring States period to the Qin and Han Dynasties. The philosophy of Yin and Yang originated very late. This theory has a great influence, because it is in great contradiction with some records of ancient books and some related statements, belittles the abstract thinking ability of ancient people in pre-Qin, Qin and Han dynasties, and causes conceptual shock in the research field of the philosophy history of Zhouyi. For example, Lou Yulie recognized that Wang Shen's philosophical interpretation of the Book of Changes had a fierce expression.

2. Liu Linying's theory of six images of ancient digital divination: His theory of six images of yin and yang, that is, six images of yin and yang, is a long history of ancient divination, which reasonably explains the complex phenomena of ancient digital divination that lasted for thousands of years. His "A New Solution to the Mystery of the Origin of the Book of Changes" puts forward the theory that astronomical hexagrams evolved into eight diagrams, and holds that hexagrams originated from the prediction activities of astronomers' divination tools. The original hexagram was a six-hexagram system, without divination and deviation, and later evolved into a gossip system. The important evidence is the six-hexagram system (such as Yin San Sanyang, etc. ) is the backbone theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which can't be explained by gossip, but the six-hexagram system is traceable in the Book of Changes, and the six images are embarrassing. Later, the paper "A Textual Research on the Six-image Divination Method of Digital Divination in Shang and Zhou Dynasties-A Preliminary Falsification of Mr. Zhang's Divination Theory" demonstrated that the four-image divination method had been used in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years, and there were only six complicated divination figures. The article also analyzes that there are three tortoise shells with four hexagrams in Xiaotun South of Yin Ruins, one of which is in the theme of the palace of "Chongba Palace". Strangely, it is a kind of "worshipping Ba Palace" which generally changes from "guest divination" to "main divination" (the later family used to use the single eight palaces with seven variations of the main theme of the palace, but the Yi Palace in the Qing Dynasty

On the use of seven or eight in Lianshan's return to Tibet: Zheng Xuan initiated Lianshan's return to Tibet in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Liu Lun's textual research shows that in some cases, the digital divination in Yin ruins is mainly based on changing the mind, and six uses nine. In addition, the small surveying and mapping system founded or discovered by Huo Feiran can explain the usage of July 8th, but it is not a matter of divination.

3. Zhang Lun and Liu Lun are two opposite directions, both of which greatly exceed the general landscape in the traditional vision: Zhang Lun brought the Yi Gua in the form of Yin and Yang to the Qin and Han Dynasties, which was far behind the general landscape in the traditional vision. "Liu Lun" has greatly promoted an advanced form of the Yi Gua system, such as "emphasizing the Eight Palaces", which is an advanced content in the Yijing system of Jing Fang in the Western Han Dynasty, and also an esoteric content that future generations generally will not use (its information is only found in the Yijing compiled in the Qing Dynasty, at least before the Shang Dynasty (a senior wizard)), far ahead of the general landscape in the traditional vision. In addition, Liu also unveiled the mysterious source of Laozi's philosophy-a new map of the Book of Changes in the pre-Qin period, and his book The Eight Diagrams of the Apocalypse: Zhouyi? The core content of Shuogua expanded the users of gossip in Jingyi to Lao Dan and even the Shang Dynasty, which also exceeded the general landscape in the traditional vision. Its theory is not without any support: according to the Records of Hanshu Scholars, it is easy to come from the hands of hermits, and it is impossible to determine whether a hermit's treasure has a history of hundreds, thousands or more years; The words "blessed are my own days" and "blessed are my own days" in the Book of Changes in 1962. Gu's Record of the Day says that this "I" should be myself, that is, Tiangan, which is still interpreted by the master of Yi Studies in the 20th century as self-denial. However, if some great wizards in the Yin and Shang Dynasties had the foundation of Jing Yi, the Eight Diagrams Yi-ology was already in a developed period among the senior wizards of the royal family or the toast royal family even before the Xia Dynasty. Is the Eight Diagrams Yi-ology a developed period before the summer? This needs further study. At Lingjiatan Site in Anhui Province, the Eight Mountains of Taiji in 3450 BC (BC 150 BC) of Jade Eagle Accompanied by Mountain and Jade Edition Accompanied by Mountain, if they are the predecessors of Lianshan, indicate that the gossip system was in a relatively developed stage at that time. If the six-hexagram system proposed by Liu existed, it should have appeared long before the eight diagrams system, and the origin of Yi Gua should be around 10,000 years ago. Is it possible? More cultural relics need to be excavated.

4. Digital divination originated from Yue's chicken divination theory: In the article "Interpretation of the chicken divination symbols on Yi divination unearthed in Anyang Yin Ruins-Looking at the origin of Yi from the chicken divination of Zhuang and their ancestors", he thinks that Kun divination (with three short lines and five groups drawn horizontally) on the tortoise shell in Xiaotun South Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the chicken divination symbol of Zhuang nationality. According to historical records, of course, some key links in his theory have great room for discussion, such as what is the chicken divination culture.
