What does the eight in gossip stand for?

When it comes to the Book of Changes, everyone will think of Fuxi's eight diagrams. What exactly is a hexagram?

Gua, hang also. It is a phenomenon hanging in front of our eyes, so it is called hexagrams.

Divination mentioned in the Book of Changes is a phenomenon in the universe, which we can see with the naked eye. There are eight basic phenomena in the universe, and everything in the universe changes according to these eight phenomena, which is the origin of the law of gossip.

Isn't it superhuman wisdom to be able to observe the phenomena of the universe and divide them into eight categories and draw them as gossip? Therefore, gossip is the knowledge of wisdom. We saw Kongming in Beijing Opera. He wore a robe of yin and yang gossip, which showed that he was very intelligent and represented by gossip.

Draw hexagrams and hexagrams

Gua is a common phenomenon, and it is necessary to draw to record this image, so Gua is drawn, not written.

Gua is an abstract representative, which can also be said to be a symbol of pattern, and gossip is also a symbol of logic.

The composition of hexagrams is "stubbornness".

What is stubbornness? The straight line is called the positive line, and the middle partition of the straight line is also called the negative line.

Divination consists of yin and yang.

Let's look at the word "stubbornness" again, which is composed of two oblique crosses.

According to the interpretation of geophysics, the earth's magnetic field is oblique to longitude and latitude. These two oblique lines represent a form of the universe, and everything is interlaced.

And these two crisscross, just become two crosses, and Yan word is also the representative of two crosses.

Whether our ancestor Fu really painted hexagrams like this may still be a question, but the origin of China characters began with hieroglyphics, that is to say, painting phenomena is just like painting hexagrams.

How to draw hexagrams

Writing is mostly from top to bottom, while drawing hexagrams is from bottom to top, that is, drawing hexagrams is from the inside out. This is a basic common sense of drawing hexagrams.

Although you can draw hexagrams from top to bottom and from outside to inside, the original method of drawing hexagrams is from inside to outside and from bottom to top, which has its important reasons.

We live on the earth, and the function of life on the earth is produced by the outward radiation of the center of the earth.

Taking people as a unit, the individual's behavioral ability is also from the inside out.

This is the basic idea of the Book of Changes, which is why hexagrams are drawn from the inside out and from the bottom up.

The following picture shows Fuxi's orientation map of innate gossip, but this eight diagrams map did not spread before the Tang Dynasty, and only appeared after the Tang and Song Dynasties. Whether Fu painted it or not, we won't verify it, so we won't discuss it here. Now let's look at the significance of innate gossip's painting.

Deviate from divination-divination is a point in a circle, representing the sun.

Kangua-it's cloudy up and down,

The picture in the middle symbolizes light and represents the moon.

Gong hexagrams-broken in front and below, representing the wind.

Divination-yang is below, broken on it,

Represents vibration, represents thunder.

Gengxu-there are prominent mountains on the ground, representing mountains.

Dugua-The gap above indicates lakes and oceans.

You may find it difficult to understand why they represent the sun, the moon, heaven and earth, mountains and rivers. However, we should know that the hexagrams originally drawn are not as straight and neat as those drawn today. The original painting method may be that Yin is just two points, and the so-called Yang is just a whole piece. Its shape is not necessarily neat, and the hexagrams are three-dimensional.

Therefore, the shape of divination is just a circle with a black dot in the middle to represent the sun. Other hexagrams also evolved in this way.

Phenomena represented by rumors

After seeing innate gossip, we clearly understand that gossip describes all the phenomena in the universe.

The eight phenomena in this universe are heaven, earth, sun, moon, wind, thunder, mountains and sunshine.

Apart from these eight phenomena, what else will there be? Gossip is really inducing.

Confucius said in the Book of Changes, Zhuan Zhuan:

"The orientation of heaven and earth", viewed from any direction, is the sky.

"Much thunder and little rain", atmospheric friction is lightning, and the shock wave of lightning becomes airflow.

The principle of "ventilation between mountains and rivers" is exactly the same as the application of acupuncture, which will be mentioned later.

"Fire and water don't shoot each other." If there is more fire, the water will dry up, and if there is more water, the fire will go out. It is extremely difficult to achieve a balance.

As for the body parts represented by gossip, this is the concept of Dandao School:

Dry head 1

Kun-belly eight

Off-eye 3

Kaner 6

Earthquake-Dantian (Life Energy) 4

Smoked nose 5

Seventh generation

Buckle 2

The problem of gossip "number"

We saw the figures on the gossip (Figure 3), which is really interesting. One, two, three, four turn left, five, six, seven, eight turn right.

This is the basic principle of the Book of Changes: "Turn left in Heaven and turn right in Tunnel."

If we look at these figures again, they all add up to nine, so although there is no nine in innate gossip, there is indeed nine in it, which is nine of them!

Western calculus is said to have been invented under the inspiration of Yi.

The concept of "number" in the Book of Changes holds that there is only one number between heaven and earth, and that is "one". This is a mathematical concept in the Book of Changes. This so-called mathematics is not necessarily the mathematical meaning today, so don't confuse it.

This "one", plus one equals two, plus one equals three, up to nine, plus one.

This way of thinking is inductive logic, which is completely different from western analytical logic.

Among these numbers, 13579, from nine to nine, is the highest number, nine represents Yang, and the number of Yang's energy to nine is the peak. 24680 is a negative number, and six is in the middle, representing yin.

Orientation, climate and medical care in innate gossip

Right, it is located in the southeast on the gossip, so it can be said that there is more water in the southeast. At present, Taiwan Province Province is in the position of divination in innate gossip, which is in the ocean.

If the hexagrams are located in the southwest and the hexagrams are located in the wind, the southwest is a windy area. The wind is strongest in Xiaguan, Yunnan. When a truck passes by, you can turn off the throttle and let the wind blow. You can imagine the wind. Some people say: Xun is the wind.

Due to the different climate and geographical environment, medical care is also different. For example, there are many typhoid fever in the north, so Treatise on Febrile Diseases can only be applied to the south; Taiwan Province belongs to the marine subtropical climate, and its medication method is completely different from that of mainland China. Therefore, it is absolutely incorrect to apply the same medicine and the same method to all parts of the world, ignoring climate factors.

Speaking of which, I remembered something 20 years ago. A friend got jaundice and was treated by another Chinese medicine friend. In his prescription, he used six yuan of ephedra. I was shocked at that time, because I was very cautious in using ephedra in mainland China and never dared to use so much. The patient took one or two doses of medicine and it didn't work. This Chinese medicine friend added one or two ephedra. I really couldn't help asking him at that time. He explained that the quality of medicines in Taiwan Province Province was poor and the ingredients were problematic. Coupled with climate factors, one or two is equal to two yuan on the mainland. According to his prescription, I'm afraid it will get better soon, which proves that Chinese medicine attaches the most importance to climate.

People in Taoist concept

As we said before, gossip represents eight phenomena in the universe, and people will suspect that we humans in the universe are not among them!

In this respect, the Taoist concept is the most interesting. They think that the earth is a living body, and we humans are just parasites on the earth.

More like parasites. In fact, Taoism calls human beings "bugs", that is, naked bugs, born naked and naked.

Can we say that the metaphor of home is nonsense? Try to look at the population problem on the earth! The population is growing. According to Taoist inference, the population will still increase. It is said that once worms are born in apples, they will grow bigger and bigger until the apples are completely eroded and eaten. At that time, insects will be finished.

They have been developing so-called science since the unfortunate growth of insects-humans on the earth. Digging mines and drilling oil at the bottom of the sea, material civilization became more and more developed and destructive, until we worms destroyed the earth.

Taoist study of the universe.

When astronauts landed on the moon, American friends said that the sovereignty of the moon should belong to the United States, but I told a joke that the sovereignty of the moon should belong to China, because China's "Chang 'e" had already flown to the moon thousands of years ago. Although this is a joke, it does have some practical significance, because our Taoism has long been studying the moon and the sun. There is already a Taoist book named "The Sun and Moon Running Phosphorus" in the Taoist collection, and it is envisaged to land on the moon and the sun.

In Taoist literature "Taoist Collection", besides the study of the moon, there is an extremely complicated picture called "The True Map of Five Mountains", which draws the underground of five mountains with China as the center, and thinks that all underground tunnels are connected. According to Taoist legend, there is a cave under the Huangdi Mausoleum in Shaanxi Province. It walked along the tunnel in the cave and came out three months later.

Chinese mainland is listed as viscera in Taoist scriptures, while the ground lung is in Shaanxi.

In predecessors' notes, it is recorded that there is a cave at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain. Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, this cave gives off the atmosphere, saying it is the breath of the earth. When it vented, people in the desert smelled its voice, and people and animals had already fled, so as not to be blown away by the air. After 24 hours, I can hear the sound of inhaling again. Ji Xiaolan's notes mentioned that he had been to this place.

In the desert, lakes can move by themselves under the influence of the atmosphere. They moved to another place like ice cubes and then stopped. Some Mongolian friends also said that they had experienced such a scene.

What are these phenomena? They are Shanze ventilation in the Book of Changes.

Shanze ventilation and qi regulation

Taoism regards heaven and earth as a big universe and the human body on the earth as a small universe.

The first thing that Taoism pays attention to is the qi of the human body when practicing Dan Dao.

In the eyes of Taoism, the earth is not only alive, but also "qi", which is why the principle of "mountain wind" in the Book of Changes has always been applied by Taoism.

What is qi? "Qi" in Taoism is a very mysterious problem, and so is "Qi" in TCM.

The root of gossip is mountain. If the root is missing, it is divination, that is, the ocean, which means that the mountain is the sea and the sea is the mountain.

The bottom of this mountain is connected with the sea floor.

But why does Yamazawa need ventilation?

The military science of Taoism is a secret, but it is not handed down. Now speaking of "mountain wind", let's first look at the military science of ancient Taoism on the Great Wall.

In the society of China thousands of years ago, leading thousands of cadres' troops out of the fortress, there was neither current communication equipment nor supplies, and the problem of water source alone was a great event.

However, Taoism has a way. When marching, carry a large number of Peng Ai to the northwest plateau or desert. First, it dug a pit about ten feet square and burned Peng Ai in the pit. At this time, pay attention to the surroundings in the distance, and you will soon see smoke coming out from other places. If you dig a well from a place with steam, you will get water.

This is the application and proof of "Yamazawa ventilation".

But why use Cao Wen?

According to the research of Taoism and pharmacology in China, wormwood is ventilated, which should be left to plant experts and scientists for further study.

However, it is this kind of wormwood that is used for acupuncture.
