Contents of Zhouyi

This article of the Book of Changes consists of the explanations of "classics" and "biographies". The Classic consists of sixty-four hexagrams (namely hexagrams) with symbolic symbols, each of which includes hexagrams, hexagrams' names, hexagrams' characters, hexagrams' names and hexagrams' characters.

One: The basic unit of six-hexagram painting is six-hexagram painting, which is divided into odd painting and even painting. Strange paintings consist of a long horizontal line, commonly known as "Yang paintings"; Even painting is composed of two disconnected horizontal lines, commonly known as "Yin". Starting from the bottom of each hexagram, there are always six hexagrams, which are matched with different strange paintings and even paintings, forming 8864 different combinations. According to the ground, full of three talents, the first and second paintings represent the ground, the odd paintings are positive and even soft, the third and fourth paintings represent people, the odd paintings are positive and even, and the fifth and upper paintings represent the sky, and the odd paintings are positive and even. Therefore, using "Yang Yao" and "Yin Yao" to refer to strange paintings or even paintings is a manifestation of the pan-Yin-Yang theory.

Two: Six-hexagram paintings (symbols of six hexagrams), which are composed of six odd-even paintings.

Three: The names of hexagrams, as the name implies, are the names of the previous hexagrams, such as Kun, Fu and Ji.

Four: the name of the hexagram, after the name of the hexagram, comprehensively summarizes six hexagrams, such as "Yuan Henry Zhen" and "Fan and Heng". Benefit from Dachuan, benefit from gentlemen, and so on.

Five: The title, that is, the name of the hexagram, indicates the specific position of a hexagram in the six hexagrams and the nature of the odd-even painting. The number of hexagrams is from bottom to top, that is, the first (that is, one), the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth (that is, the sixth). "-"is nine and ""is six. Such as the sixth day, the ninth day, the sixth five-year plan and the ninth day.

Six: Words refer to the explanation and description of a single hexagram, so * * * has six words, such as "92, seeing the dragon in the field, benefiting adults." The six hexagrams of the same hexagram are relatively independent and static, but they are interrelated and interact with each other, indicating the development state of things in different periods and stages, thus forming a complete development and occurrence process, that is, the overall content summary of all hexagrams and six hexagrams-hexagrams.

Seven: the upper and lower hexagrams and the inner and outer hexagrams, because the sixty-four hexagrams originally evolved from three hexagrams and eight hexagrams: "The eight diagrams are arranged in columns, which seems to be among them; Therefore, it is very important to be in it. " Therefore, the six hexagrams can also be divided into the upper half and the lower half. The fourth, fifth and upper half are (upper hexagrams) or "outer hexagrams", and the first, second and third hexagrams are "lower hexagrams" or "inner hexagrams". For example, the divination of "Fu" goes from underground to earthquake, and the divination of "Qian" goes up to the root, and the root is beyond Kun. One: ancient classics are divided into chapters.

Zhouyi Ancient Classics is divided into two parts, the first part is thirty, the second part is thirty-four, * * * sixty-four, and each one has six, * * * three hundred and eighty-four. Two: the composition of six hexagrams 1. These hexagrams constitute the Book of Changes. Each hexagram has six hexagrams, that is, six symbols, which are composed of upper and lower parts, and the upper and lower parts take one of the eight diagrams respectively. What is gossip? Eight diagrams refer to dry, Kun, shock, smoke, hurdle, separation, root and exchange.

In order to remember this symbol of gossip, the ancients summed up the jingle:

Gansanlian

Shake the jar and cover the bowl.

The middle is empty () and the middle is full ()

Replace the shortage () and break it ()

The eight diagrams symbols are weighted in pairs to form the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi, 8×8=64. In order to distinguish gossip from sixty-four hexagrams, the ancients called gossip "Jing". Call the sixty-four hexagrams "other hexagrams". Therefore, any two classics can overlap to obtain different divination. Sixty-four hexagrams are composed of eight diagrams. Therefore, from the perspective of divination painting, Yibei hexagrams are composed of two classics: the lower part is called inner divination (also called lower body) and the other part is called outer divination (also called upper body). Because gossip regroups into sixty-four hexagrams, it is often called sixty-four other hexagrams by gossip. The basic images of gossip are eight natural objects: dry for the sky, Kun for the earth, earthquake for the thunder, worry for the wind, root for the mountain, change for the ze, ridge for the water, and separation for the fire.

In order to remember the sixty-four hexagrams, we use two classic hexagrams to call one hexagram. If heaven and earth are negative, they are regarded as hexagrams composed of heaven and earth, which are called negative hexagrams. Tianshan dun can be regarded as a hexagram painting composed of Tianshan mountains, which can be called dun gua.

2. The composition of the hexagrams in Zhouyi Each hexagram in Zhouyi consists of four parts, except for the hexagram paintings (symbols), there are also hexagram names and hexagram words. (1) hexagrams (symbols of hexagrams), that is, six symbols, such as Kun.

(2) The name of the hexagram, that is, the name behind the so-called hexagram painting. If it's dry, it's Liu Yao's name. The name of the hexagram is the simplest explanation of the hexagram painting and the theme of this hexagram. (3) Guaci, there is a paragraph behind the name of Gua, which is called Guaci, and Guaci is a general term for six hexagrams. (4) Yi Ci, a hexagram with six hexagrams, is composed of six symbols, and each hexagram has a meaning. The expression of this meaning is called Yi Ci. A hexagram has six hexagrams, so * * * has six hexagrams. Under the hexagram, the six hexagrams have the title of "nine" and "six", the yang hexagram is called nine, and the yin hexagram is called six. One hexagram and six hexagrams from bottom to top. If it is yang, it is the ninth day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day and the ninth day. If it is cloudy, it is the sixth day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day and the sixth day.

3. The structure of hexagrams is generally divided into two parts. Part of it is taking pictures to explain things; The other part is judgment. The so-called image taking is to describe a thing or a natural phenomenon to illustrate a truth. The so-called judgment is to draw a conclusion, and use words such as auspiciousness, fierceness, regret and meanness. The reason why the hexagrams in Zhouyi are composed of two parts is to occupy the topic. When asking questions, when you encounter a hexagram or a hexagram, first look at the image-taking part of the hexagram to show the questioner's situation, and then look at the judgment result. There is a causal relationship between hexagrams and characters, which has its antecedents and consequences, but this causal relationship is not objective and universal, that is to say, its consequences cannot be deduced from its antecedents, and many things happen by accident and are not universal, but the author of Zhouyi sorts out these things that are not authentic and universal as hexagrams and characters in Zhouyi. It is widely used in divination in the form of argot to predict the future.

Not every hexagram in Zhouyi consists of two parts, and the situation is more complicated. Sometimes, there is no part of the photo, and it is directly judged. Such as 1992' s "Heng" and "Regret Death". Or there is no conclusion, such as "Big Livestock" 92 "Yu Shuo" (the car is not in line with the axle, indicating that the car is broken). Some judgments are very long, such as Kun and Chastity of Horse (this is suitable for riding a female horse). Commonly used words and meanings of divination in Zhouyi: good or ill luck (good or ill luck), good luck (good luck), frugality (bad luck), regret (regret, poverty), blame (disaster), disaster (catastrophe) 1: The divination sequence refers to the order of sixty-four hexagrams.

The ancients believed that the arrangement of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi reflected the process of the emergence, development and change of the world, with Gan Kun as the head, symbolizing that everything in the world started from Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, as Yang and heaven. Kun is yin and earth. After Gankun comes Tun, Mong, Tun and Mong, which symbolizes that things have just begun and are in the period of Mongolian taste. ..... The scripture is finally moving away from the moon and the sun, which has a bright meaning, symbolizing that everything is vividly presented.

Xia Jing began with Xian Heng, symbolizing the people, families and society that emerged after the creation of everything in the world. Xian means sympathy. Refers to sympathy for men and women, sympathy for marriage. Constant, permanent, refers to the husband and wife grow old together. After the formation of society, it was full of contradictions, and finally, it was Gigi. Gigi means success and completion. Poverty means that things are endless and endless. The author of Zhouyi tried to make the arrangement of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi conform to the evolution of the world. But this arrangement is not unique. 1973, The Book of Changes written on silk was found in Mawangdui Han Tomb in the eastern suburb of Changsha City, Hunan Province. The arrangement of the Book of Changes on silk books is completely different from the current Book of Changes. According to the principle of paying equal attention to gossip, it divides the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes into eight groups, which are called eight palaces, and the sixty-four hexagrams belong to eight palaces. Two: the arrangement characteristics of sixty-four hexagrams. In the Tang Dynasty, Confucius used the phrase "two couples, if they don't care about each other, they will change" to summarize the arrangement characteristics of sixty-four hexagrams. The so-called "22 pairs" refers to the 64 hexagrams in the Book of Changes. There are 32 pairs, such as Gankun as a pair and Tunmeng as a pair, which are in turn correct. The so-called "if you don't reverse it, you will change it" means that each pair of hexagrams and paintings in the Book of Changes is either reversed or reversed. Superposition, upside down; Change, on the contrary, if (tun) is in turn (Mongolia) and (need) is in turn (litigation), this is repetition. (Gan) is the opposite of (Kun), and the six dry hexagrams are all yang hexagrams, while the six Kun hexagrams are all yin hexagrams, and (H) is the opposite of (greater than). The upper and lower H are yang hexagrams, the middle four hexagrams are yin hexagrams, and the upper and lower H are yin hexagrams.

There are sixty-four pairs of hexagrams and thirty-two pairs of hexagrams in the Book of Changes, of which twenty-eight pairs are "symbols" and four pairs are "changes", that is, except for Gankun (), Yi Daguo (), Li Kan () and Guanzhong Xiaoguo () who changed their minds, the rest are all hexagrams. One: He contains three talents. Gossip consists of three paintings. For example, Gan Kun's three paintings symbolize heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are "three talents", in which the lower divination represents the earth, the middle divination represents people, and the upper divination represents heaven. Sixty-four hexagrams are composed of eight diagrams, so they also contain the way of three talents. One hexagram and six hexagrams, two days for the earth, three or four people, and five for the sky. Second, the position of things represents the beginning of different stages of things: it represents the beginning of things; The second is to represent the emergence of things; Three ideas: representing great achievements; Four ideas: representing things to a higher level; Five reasons: it represents the success of things; Shangyi: It represents the ultimate thing. Divination is typical.

Three: The position of a man represents different parts of the human body.

The first foot: stands for toes (because toes are at the bottom); Er Yao: representing the calf; Three hexagrams: representing the waist (three hexagrams are in the middle, and the waist is also in the middle). Four hexagrams: representing the upper body; Five hexagrams: representing faces; Top: head. Salty divination and gender divination are typical.

Four: His position represents different social strata. According to Han people's comments on Zhouyi, the situation is as follows: the first place is next, representing the people; The second is in the middle, representing a gentleman and a great doctor; Three hexagrams are above two hexagrams, representing princes; Four hexagrams are nearly five, and they are close ministers; The five hexagrams in the middle are the sons of heaven; At the top, it is the ancestral hall (or the emperor's father). Five: The position of the six-pointed star represents different kinds of things. Generally speaking, two hexagrams and five hexagrams are in the middle, to show the way of doing things (that is, being honest and upright, but everything is the virtue of the ancients), so there are many honors and achievements. In other words, most of the 252 words in Zhouyi are auspicious. Three hexagons are above the inner hexagons and the middle hexagons. So how dangerous it is. Four is close to five, and five is the son of heaven, so people who are close to the son of heaven are more afraid, that is, they are like tigers. At first, it means that things haven't been done, and going to school means that things have passed.

Six: The location where he lives is called location. The position has certain rules: the first position is Yang, the second position is Yin, the third position is Yang, the fourth position is Yin, the fifth position is Yang, and the upper position is Yin, that is, odd positions are Yang, occasionally positions are Yin, the first, third and fifth positions are Yang, and the second, fourth and fifth positions are Yin. In Zhouyi, yin and yang are not in one-to-one correspondence, that is, yin is not in the yin position and yang is not in the yang position. However, most of them are mixed with yin and yang, for example, the yang is in the yin position and the yin is in the yang position, so the Zhouyi has the problem of being in position and being out of position (or being out of position). Generally speaking, Yang is in the position of Yang and Yin is in the position of Yin. Yang is in the yin position, and yin is in the yang position, which is dislocation. Among the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, Ji Ji is a full-fledged hexagram, and the lost hexagrams are useless hexagrams. Zhouyi Zhuan, or Yi Zhuan, is also called "Ten Wings" because of its ten articles. Pass, have the meaning of explanation. In ancient times, all books and words that explained and expounded the meaning of classic works could be called "biographies". For example, Zuo Zhuan in Spring and Autumn Annals is Zuo Qiuming's annotation on Spring and Autumn Annals. The Book of Songs Mao Zhuan is Mao Heng's annotation to the Book of Songs. Wing, originally referring to the wings of birds and insects, refers to the indispensable works of Zhouyi, which complement each other and annotate Zhouyi.

Ten articles in Yi Zhuan refer to: comparison, image, classical Chinese, cohesion, divination, empty divination and miscellaneous divination.

One: The Contribution of Yi Zhuan

The Book of Changes is the earliest and most systematic interpretation of the Book of Changes. His books have a great influence on Zhouyi, and they are required books for studying and studying Zhouyi. 1. Annotated the Book of Changes in an abstract sense, that is, generalized the 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams of the Book of Changes to a theoretical height. For example, the Book of Changes discusses the origin of Zhouyi from the macro perspective of the universe. It believes that Zhouyi is the result of ancient sages looking down and learning from nature, so the eight diagrams and sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi reflect the law of the change of yin and yang in heaven and earth. After this explanation, the theory of Zhouyi has become profound. When annotating the hexagrams in Zhouyi, the hexagrams are related to annotations. The hexagrams in Zhouyi mostly record and describe an event or a phenomenon. However, Yi Zhuan raised the specific hexagrams to the abstract relationship between Yin and Yang, and explained them from the meaning and position of hexagrams. Theoretically speaking, it goes far beyond the ancient classic Zhouyi. 2. The Book of Changes arranges and explains the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes as a whole, revealing the internal relations between hexagrams, hexagrams, hexagrams, hexagrams, hexagrams, hexagrams, hexagrams and hexagrams, making the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes an organic and logically interrelated unity.

3. The Book of Changes describes the style of the Book of Changes in detail (such as divination, mystery, location, etc. ), but also retained the ancient China primitive ancient divination method-Dayan method. In the Spring and Autumn Period before the appearance of the Book of Changes, although the Book of Changes was very popular, it was very popular for the Book of Changes. It is of great significance to study the style of Zhouyi and the origin of divination. Without the Book of Changes, modern people would not know the style of the Book of Changes and the method of divination.

2. The content of Yi Da Chuan is 1. Xun Zhuan (or Xun) is different, that is, different materials, different "cuts" and different meanings of judgment. Words that judge the meaning of a hexagram are called haiku. Haiku is also called six hexagrams. The interpretation of Nuo characters (hexagrams) is called "Nuo biography". The title of Yi Zhuan is Xun Zhuan, which actually refers to Xun Zhuan. There are sixty-four chapters in Biography, which are divided into upper and lower classics according to the sixty-four hexagrams. Zhuan zhuan is divided into upper and lower levels, namely Zhuan zhuan and Zhuan zhuan. Yi Zhuan specially interprets the hexagrams in Zhouyi, and its methods are as follows: ① Interpreting the hexagrams with the image of eight diagrams. The basic images of gossip are eight natural objects: dryness represents heaven, Kun represents earth, earthquake represents thunder, Xun represents wind, ridge represents water, far represents fire, roots represent mountains, and exchange represents ze. Explain the names and words of hexagrams with the image of gossip. For example, the interpretation of "Tai" in "Tai" says: "Heaven and earth meet and everything is connected, and the upper and lower meet with the same purpose".

The so-called connection between heaven and earth means that Tai works for the sun, Kun works for the earth and Kun works for the sky. Heaven is above, today is below, and today is above, to show that the qi of the sun is falling, the qi of the earth is rising, and the qi of the earth is rising to the weather, so the two qi are born together, so it means "heaven and earth are connected". Because yin and yang are born together, everything is endless, so it is accessible, that is, "everything is connected."

The so-called communication between the upper and lower parts means that in Thailand, Kun works in the sun, in the sky, Yang works in the sun, Kun works underground and Yin works in the sun, so there is a sense of resonance between the upper and lower parts. As far as society is concerned, doing symbolizes the monarch and Kun symbolizes the people. In Thailand's divination, the monarch is in the bottom and the masses are in the top, to show that the monarch and the people are sympathetic and like-minded. The yin and yang of nature are born together, and everything grows; In society, the monarch and the minister are in sympathy and have the same aspiration, so the world is peaceful and harmonious, so this kind of divination is called "Tai" divination. Ty. It is peace and understanding. (2) Take meaning to interpret hexagrams. Eight trigrams all have meanings, such as walking is firm, Kun is soft, shock is moving, Xun is windy, talking is dangerous, leaving is beautiful, which is called (Yue). The Biography of Zhuan Xu interprets the divinatory words in the sense of gossip, such as the Biography of Lawsuits, which explains the lawsuit and says, "As long as you go to the top and take risks, you will be healthy and tell." The so-called "only rising without risking" refers to "litigation", that is, only rising without risking, so there is "only rising without risking" The so-called risk and health means that the divination in the lawsuit is dangerous and the external divination is both rigid and flexible, so it is called "risk and health". Therefore, the Oracle inscriptions are healthy in spirit and fierce in water, so they are lawsuits. (3) Take a position to explain hexagrams. The so-called position theory refers to the position of the position. It mainly includes the following aspects: median, multiplication, position gain, position loss and position response. Zuo Zhuan explains the divinatory words in terms of position, such as: a. Explain them in terms of median position: Meng Zhuan: "The police are in the middle first." The so-called "right in the middle" is an interpretation of "early warning". There are 92 hexagrams in the Mongolian hexagrams, which are in the middle of the inner hexagrams, so they are called "the center".

B. Explain by orientation and position: "Little Livestock": "Soft position should go up and down." Small animals have one yin and five yang, and June 4th is called "soft position", and the five yang are separated from June 4th, so it is called "up and down response". C. explanation of taking advantage of the situation: the so-called taking advantage of the situation in the biography means that the yin is above the yang. Take, there is the meaning of taking the mausoleum. Biography of Zhuan Xu uses hexagrams to explain the text, such as Biography of Zhuan Xu: "Yu Yang Wang Ting, Yu Rou Wugang also." One yin and five yang, yin is soft and yang is rigid. This hexagram has the image of taking Ling Wugang in a feminine way, so it takes Wu Gang in a soft way. (4) Interpreting hexagrams with hexagrams: hexagrams change refers to the change of one hexagram into another due to the change of yin and yang, which reflects the mutual change relationship between hexagrams. Zhuan Zhuan uses this relationship to annotate hexagrams. For example, Loss says: "Loss is beneficial, and its path is upward." The so-called "loss" means that the "loss" comes from the "Tai" hexagram, that is, the three drugs of Tai Moxibustion are exchanged with the drugs of Shang Liu. Judging from the upper and lower hexagrams, it is the loss of the lower body of Thai hexagrams and the gain of the upper body. Its upward movement means that it damages the next yang and increases to the upper level, and the yang flows to the upper level. The word "benefit from loss" in Yi Bu, contrary to Yi Bu, means that Yi Bu comes from nothing, which is a gain from the loss of the previous one, that is, nothing contradicts the sixth one.

2. Image (also known as "image transmission") takes the image of nature. The image of nature refers to the appearance and form of natural things. For example, the image presented by the sun, moon and stars is called the image of the sky, and the image presented by mountains and rivers is called the image of the earth. The image in Zhouyi is a generalization of the image of nature, which is expressed by hexagrams. The title "Xiang" of Yi Zhuan refers to Xiang Zhuan. From the perspective of the upper and lower classics, it can be divided into two parts: Xiang Shang and Xia Xiang, and from the perspective of the interpretation of a hexagram, it can be divided into two parts: Xiang and Xiang. Elephants interpret divination, elephants interpret divination. The way elephants interpret divination is to use the image of gossip to explain divination, and then compare it with personnel to explain how to act according to this divination. Such as "Bixiang": "There is water on the ground. When the first king finished, he built the nations and kissed the princes. " Compared with the last hurdle, Kun is water, Kun is land, and the hurdle is on Kun, so there is water on the ground. Under the water, the water runs on the ground without gaps, which means pro-comparison, so the hexagrams are comparison. Bibi: Pro Bibi. Following this fable, the former king established many vassal States and treated the princes well. Judging from the divination paintings, the upper middle class is more king than the ninth five-year plan, and the upper and lower are all yin, so it is called the vassal of the world.

Interpreting methods of words in Little Elephant;

(1) occupying a position is like explaining "Tun" 62: "The difficulty of 62 lies in taking advantage." In other words, there is a word "difficult" in Tun 62, which lies in the masculine nature of Yin Cheng Ling in Tun 62. Another example is to explain No's Ninth Five-Year Plan: "The blessing of' adults' is just right." In other words, the Ninth Five-Year Plan of "Nothing" is said to be "lucky for adults" because it is based on Yang and is in the middle of the external divination, which is the so-called "positive position". (2) Little Elephant only explains rhetoric from rhetoric itself, that is, rhetoric is not clear, and elephants express this meaning in another way. For example, "Tun" said on June 3: "That is, Lu 'an." "Xiang" explained: "That is, the deer is safe, so you can follow the birds." In other words, chasing deer without a dangerous person as a guide can only passively follow the animals. Birds are deer.

(3) Explain the words from the aspect of justice, such as the six or five clouds in Heng: "A chaste woman is lucky, but a master is fierce." "Little Elephant" explains: "Women are faithful and will always be faithful; The master is loyal to the woman. " This means that women are well-behaved and lucky. The so-called chastity means that a woman can only marry one husband in her life, and she can't remarry after her husband dies. This is auspicious, and as a man, he has the absolute right to be obedient to her. Elephant clearly annotates Confucian ethics here, which is not found in Heng. The "Sixth Five-Year Plan" in Heng said that when encountering such misfortune, women are lucky and men are fierce. 3. The words "classical Chinese" in "classical Chinese" were interpreted in this way by many ancient people. Some say that it is based on classical Chinese, some say that hexagrams are written by King Wen, so it is called classical Chinese, and some say that it is a classical Chinese with literary ornaments.

In the name of "Classical Chinese", this article refers to "Biography of Classical Chinese". There are not many words in classical Chinese, and I am committed to the interpretation of Gan and Kun. Through the annotation of Gankun's hexagrams, the classical Chinese expounds the theory of the change of yin and yang between heaven and earth, the way of monarch and minister, the protection of the country and the security of the country, and the cultivation of the heart and nature, and its annotation far exceeds Gankun's hexagrams in ideological content and theoretical depth.

4. Cohesion is a genus; Words, words. Cohesion refers to the language under hexagrams, which is hexagrams. Yi Zhuan, with the title of copula, refers to the biography of copula, which means the summary of Zhouyi attached to Zhouyi. Cohesion is divided into upper and lower parts, which are called upper part and lower part respectively. In ancient times, "cohesion" was divided into chapters. Generally speaking, there are two ways. I. Chapter I 13 and Chapter II11; Secondly, the first chapter 12 and the second chapter 12. "Cohesion" is a general explanation of Zhouyi with profound content. It is the book with the highest ideological level among the seven Zhouyi in this edition, and it is a must-read for learning Yi. This paper expounds the position and internal basis of Gan Kun in the Book of Changes, traces back to the origin, formation, author and the year of writing of the Book of Changes, and reveals the role of the Book of Changes in understanding the laws of things. Interpret sixteen hexagrams and eighteen words to make up for the deficiency of promises and images, and explain the style of Zhouyi, including the position, function, position and virtue of hexagrams. The ancient primitive divination method-Dayan divination method is preserved, and its objective basis is explained.

5. divination

Also known as Shuo Gua Zhuan, it is a monograph that systematically explains gossip. Shuo Gua is generally divided into eleven chapters, which mainly expounds the generation, nature, function, orientation and divinatory images represented by Eight Diagrams. Among them, the nature and basic images of the Eight Diagrams are the basis for analyzing the images and divination in Zhouyi. 6. The preface to hexagrams gives a general explanation of the arrangement and objective basis of the sixty-four hexagrams. It shows that Gan Kun is the first one in the Book of Changes to explain the relationship between hexagrams with the viewpoints of causality, extreme opposites and mutual development. It is the last divination to explain the helplessness in Zhouyi with things that cannot end in poverty. How far-fetched the explanation of the preface is.

7. Miscellaneous hexagrams are mixed with sixty-four hexagrams, divided into thirty-two pairs, and the meaning of the hexagrams is briefly described. It is called "za" because it disrupts the arrangement of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Preface and intricately explains their meanings. Natural gossip

Innate gossip, from the second chapter of Shuo Gua: "The positioning of heaven and earth, the ventilation of mountains and rivers, the thin wind of thunder and lightning, the incompatibility of fire and water, gossip about right and wrong." According to the staggered arrangement of Gan Kun, Duigen, Li Kan and Zhen Xuan, the so-called "Gan Kun is vertical and six sons are horizontal".

The day after tomorrow gossip

The acquired gossip, also known as Wang Wen's gossip, appeared much earlier than innate gossip. Gossip the day after tomorrow comes from the fifth chapter of divination: "The emperor was surprised, nearly lost, and left when he met." The service is almost Kun, and the words are all against it. War is dry, work is difficult, and words are awkward. " The so-called "earthquake reversed the horizontal six hexagrams."

Rhyme the formula/description (easy to remember)

There are many kinds of arrangement of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi, such as the preface of the hexagrams in the Book of Today, the preface of the Eight Palaces in Fang Jing Yi Zhuan, the preface of the hexagrams in Shao Shi Yi Zhuan, and the preface of the hexagrams in Zhouyi unearthed from the No.3 tomb of Mawangdui in Changsha.

Gossip song formula:

Do it three times, Kun six times, shake the jar, cover the bowl, leave the middle empty, the ridge is full, the sink is missing, and the bottom is broken.

Gossip algebra:

Do one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight.

Gossip and Five Elements:

Drying and exchange (gold); Earthquake, earthquake (wood); Kun and gen (earth); Leave (fire); Kans (water).

Gossip begets grams:

Dry, against (gold) gives birth to ridge (water), ridge (water) gives birth to earthquake, Xun (wood), earthquake, Xun (wood) gives birth to separation (fire), separation (fire) gives birth to Kun, Gen (earth), Kun, Gen (earth) gives birth to dry, exchange (.

Gan Dui (Jin) Kezhen, Xun (Mu), Zhen, Xun (Mu) Kekun, Gen (Tu), Kun, Gen (Tu) Kekan (water), Kan (water) (fire), Li (fire) Kegan, and Du Dui (.

The prosperity and depression of gossip;

Dry, autumn, winter; Earthquake, Wang Xun in spring, the decline of summer;

Kun, Wang Gen in the four seasons, declined in autumn; From midsummer, decline to four seasons;

Wang Can grows in winter and declines in spring. (Four seasons refer to the last month of each season)
