In addition, during the war, the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, represented by Zou Yan, was widely circulated and absorbed by Taoism in Qin and Han Dynasties, Confucianism, Immortals and Taoism in later generations. The thinking of regulating yin and yang, arranging the four seasons, arranging the five elements, and matching government orders with moon orders has become a common view of Han people. The early Taoist scriptures were also full of ideas of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. The words in Taiping Jing "Take Yin and Yang and Five Elements as Home" are based on serving heaven and earth, following the five elements, and think that the nature of heaven and earth is composed of Yin and Yang. "Notes on Old Children's Thoughts" talks about the way of Yin and Yang, and advocates that "the five elements are in harmony and each has its own place". "Shenshenqi" uses the hexagrams in Zhouyi to match the Yin and Yang elements, which is used to express Ming Xiu's immortal elixir. Huang Ting is composed of five zang-organs and five elements, and it is cultivated by the qi of yin and yang. The theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is an important theory and evidence of Taoism and alchemy. Taoism and doctrine also absorbed the meaning of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and adopted a large number of famous sentences and names of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

New concept of modern yin and yang

A New Definition of Modern Yin and Yang

New concept of yin-yang science

1. Species Relationship between Yin and Yang and Unity of Opposites

In philosophy and logic, it is closely related to the concept of Yin and Yang, and the closest thing is "unity of opposites" or "contradiction".

The unity of opposites is the interdependent and mutually exclusive relationship between two things or one thing.

Contradictory relationship is an incompatible relationship between two concepts under the same generic concept. These two concepts are Yin and Yang.

Yin and Yang is a division or subdivision of "unity of opposites or contradictory relationship", which is a species-genus relationship. The law of unity of opposites is the upper concept of "Yin and Yang", and Yin and Yang are two lower concepts of unity of opposites.

Yin and Yang are incompatible and closely related opposites. The connotations of yin and yang negate each other. One concept "Yin" affirms the object's yin attribute, while another concept "Yang" takes the negation of the attribute affirmed by the concept of Yin as the object's yang attribute.

The extension of Yin and Yang is mutually exclusive and complementary, and its sum is equal to the extension of its nearest generic concept, that is, the sum or union of the extensions of the two concepts.

Yin and Yang are the generalization of a pair of philosophical or logical categories with two different natures and attributes in the unity of opposites or contradictory relations, that is, two things or one thing are interdependent, interrelated, opposed, mutually exclusive and mutually negative, and the opposites are the same concept.

Yin and Yang are the opposition and unity of attributes, properties, opposites or opposite properties of things, and they are the expression of two aspects and properties of a pair of things or the same thing.

2. The scientific (thermodynamic) definition of Yin and Yang:

A new scientific explanation of Yin and Yang: Yin and Yang are two interdependent, interrelated and contradictory concepts of "unity of opposites" or "contradiction".

Definition: If the sets y and y' (or things or objects) are complementary sets, that is, y ∪ y' = u, y ∩ y' = 0,

And the set y satisfies, EdS≥ boundary value a domain, or pdS≥ boundary value b domain, then the set y is called "Yang";

If the set y' exists, eds

U is a complete set, which is the superordinate concept of Yin and Yang, that is, the set whole of "unity of opposites" or "contradiction".

That is, if the EdS (or PDS) of a thing or set Y is high, or EdS (or PDS) >; Boundary range (average, median, mode, etc.). ), then the object set by Y is Yang;

If the EdS (or pdS) of the set y' is low, or the EdS (or PDS)

Yin He is also defined by fuzzy sets. With the scientific definition of the concept of Yin and Yang and the new discovery of their logical relationship, it will be possible to make the concepts of cold and heat, excess and deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine scientific, and their expressions are similar to those of Yin and Yang.

3. The unity of the integration and reduction of Yin and Yang: the unity of Yin and Yang set, Yin and Yang element, Yin and Yang fractal dimension, Qi and Yin and Yang is manifested as the unity of matter (Yin) and spirit (Yang), the unity of matter and consciousness (information), and the unity of particle (Yin)-wave (Yang) and duality in quantum theory. The Unity of Order-disorder "Double Macrocycles" —— Hollen.

Measure, measure yin and yang

Mathematical yin and yang

1, Yin and Yang: It is said that before the formation of heaven and earth, the universe was chaotic, and Pangu created the world, which divided chaos into two parts, and the sky was Yang and the earth was Yin, thus giving birth to the concept of Yin and Yang. Later, according to the facts of production, life practice and long-term observation of natural phenomena, the ancients gradually classified the sun, man, strength, light, heat and other attributes with upward movement, positive movement, affirmation, goodwill and enthusiasm as yang, and classified the moon, woman, weakness, darkness and cold as yin, and summarized them accordingly. When it is applied to nature, human beings, birth, aging, illness and death, there are later theories of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Yin-Yang and Eight Diagrams and ancient Chinese medicine.

2. Five elements: refers to wood, fire, earth, water, gold and their movements. The concept of five elements appeared as early as the Warring States period, which is the product of the interaction of Yin and Yang. Wood, fire, gold and water are listed above and below the ground respectively. The first two belong to yang, and the latter two belong to yin. Fire is more active than wood, belonging to yang, and water is lower than gold, belonging to yin. Middle earth belongs to neutrality. Because water is necessary for the growth of trees, water and wood are interdependent, forming a five-element cycle of wood fire, fire, earth, earth gold, golden water and aquatic wood. Following this recycled material, it will promote each other. If it is violated, there will be mutual interference, such as Mutuke, Tukeshui, Shuihoke, Huojinke and Jin Kemu, which are called "five elements interacting with each other". However, there are abnormal phenomena in the development and change of things, which leads to the excessive mutual resistance between "multiplication" and "mutual humiliation", and its order is consistent with that of mutual resistance. For example, if the wood is too strong, it will bring soil and make the country weak. Threatening each other is also called confrontation, that is, the party you can defeat is defeated by it, in the opposite order to confrontation. For example, the normal relationship between each other is that the wood is like mud, but the wood is too strong, and the soil will in turn insult the wood. Ancient philosophers in China classified the nature of all things in nature into these five categories, and explained the origin of all things in the world.

Huangdi Neijing skillfully combines yin and yang with five elements, forming a relatively complete theory of five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, which can guide medical practice and disease prevention. The ancients believed that the five elements correspond to the fire, water and earth in Jin Mu, the five stars of fire, water and earth in Jin Mu, and the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith in people. These five substances form a series between heaven, earth and people. If Jupiter in the sky changes, the wood on the ground and the kindness of human beings will also change. Ancient superstitions calculated people's fate according to the mutual influence of heaven, earth and people and the mutual influence of five elements.

On the Origin of Yin-Yang and Five Elements from the Myth of Five Elements

Yin-Yang and Five Elements are the collective names of Yin-Yang Theory and Five Elements Theory. It is the world outlook and methodology of understanding and explaining nature in ancient times.

Yin-yang theory holds that the world we live in is conceived, developed and changed under the interaction of Yin and Yang.

The five elements are a kind of culture. According to the theory of five elements, Jin Mu's fire, water and earth are the most basic substances that constitute the material world, which is formed by the mutual development and restriction of five basic substances. This line does not mean walking. It stands for sports. There is kinetic energy in the present explanation.

Gold, not gold. It means firm and solidified;

Wood represents the function and root of life. The Chinese character "Sheng" well explains the "wood" in the five elements. Life is an pictographic character, and below it is a word "earth", which represents a branch and a leaf that broke through the ground.

Water stands for flow, which means circulation and circumferential flow;

Fire represents heat energy;

The earth represents the earth itself. So the soil is centered on the five elements.

The five elements mean that these five substances change and influence each other. This change and influence is life and grams.

"Sheng" and "Ke" are expressions in the theory of Yin and Yang.

Strictly speaking, there is no fundamental connection between the five elements and the Book of Changes. Only by applying the laws of the Book of Changes and divination can the Book of Changes be linked with the Five Elements.

The establishment of the Five Elements Theory is generally considered as the Warring States Period. Some people tend to think that the theory of five elements originated in Shang Dynasty or earlier.

The novel Myth of Five Elements puts the concept of five elements in ancient times. In other words, the author tends to the latter view of history. In fact, from the existing archaeological data, in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, businessmen were still ghosts and liked divination. Later, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to tend to Taoist alchemists, that is, they liked to practice alchemy. The thought of the Dandao school should be derived from the principle of the Book of Changes.

The emergence of the theory of five elements and the formation of the concept of five elements have had a far-reaching impact on ancient philosophy and China people's world outlook and lifestyle.

There is no textual research on the origin of the theory of five elements, and there is no writing about the five elements in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. But now scholars tend to produce the culture of Hebei and Beijing, such as the Yellow Emperor era and Fuxi era.

Shao Hao is regarded as one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in the Five Elements Myth to affirm that the Five Elements Culture was born in the Fuxi era of Xuanyuan. Who are the Three Emperors and Five Emperors? I'll explain later.

Huang San recognized in the myth of the Five Elements should be Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi. In other words, the author recognizes the statement in Shangshu.

Our present Taoist culture is a continuation of Qi culture. The Book of Changes is the representative of Taoism. It may be the development of Central Plains culture, that is, the ancient culture of Henan and Shanxi merchants. Therefore, the culture of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is earlier than the Book of Changes of Central Plains culture.

Divination in the Book of Changes, or divination, is considered as gossip by many people. In fact, the five elements and gossip are separate. The focus of divination is the five elements, not gossip. Breaking things with hexagrams is another system. So the five elements and gossip are separated.

The theory of five elements has its own laws, which is the heavenly stem culture earlier than the Book of Changes. This culture is recorded in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Tiangan culture is the law of the five elements.

The above is the explanation of the Five Elements in fantasy novel, a myth of the Five Elements.

It should be noted that the novel is not only based on Shan Hai Jing, but also faithful to the characters, mountains, rivers, animals and plants in Shan Hai Jing. The concept of yin and yang and five elements in novels and yy things is absolutely fabricated according to the principle of unbounded yin and yang. These, you can understand from the text. In addition, terms such as martial arts, swordsmanship and sticks are rarely invented in the novel.

It was transplanted from Tai Ji Chuan and Taiji Sword.

About the Book of Changes and divination. The author will continue to yy for everyone in the sequel "Five Elements Myth" and "Official Divination". The background of the novel must be Shang Dynasty, or a ghost.

Say a little more about the Book of Changes and digressions.

The "five elements explanation" in the Book of Rites refers to the Book of Changes. It is said that this book is clean and implicit and easy to teach.

The ancients said, "I don't know how long spring has passed." I read that the scenery of spring is far away, and I don't know yet. It can be seen how attractive I ching is to people.

Fantasy and yy novels create a yy world for readers by stimulating their own imagination.

Through full imagination, this is a good way for us to relax ourselves in today's complicated life.

The classic of mountains and seas written by our ancestors is a model of combining yy with reality. It cultivated all the imagination of this country. This is why I admire Shan Hai Jing. The novel Myth of Five Elements may not satisfy everyone. But I will try my best to write some cultural things in the novel, so that everyone can get imagination while reading and get some traditional culture.
