Third, the shooting method.

Shooting is based on divination, and shooting and divination draw conclusions by analyzing divination. So, how do divinatory symbols and things have a specific connection? That is, how do specific things show corresponding divinatory symbols? This is mainly reflected in the relationship between hexagrams and rational number space-time, which is essentially the holographic relationship between everything in the universe and rational number, time, space and hexagrams. The concept of number is gradually formed and developed by human beings in production and life practice. Numbers are both abstract and concrete. Everything has a close relationship with number, not only the relationship between number and quantity, but also the relationship between quality; The regularity of the development and change of things is closely related to "number", or embodied in the determination of "number". "Number", like time and space, is a form of things. The relationship between things and numbers studied in Yi-ology is different from numbers in our daily life and numbers studied in modern mathematics. The latter refers to "managing numbers", "the principle of nature" and the so-called "managing only numbers". Therefore, the ancient theories of divination, six benevolence, strange gate, astrology, astrology and geomantic omen are all called "Shu mathematics".

Image number is the two most important fields in Yi-ology, and the school that studies image number and its relationship in history is called "Image Mathematics School". The relationship between them has been discussed for a long time. In Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Fifteen Years, Han Jian said: "Counting is also life, then there is an image, then there is a child, and then there is a number." Confucius, a Yi-ology scholar in the Tang Dynasty, explained: "The purpose of divination is to tell people by the number of yin and yang. Everything that flies away is born and then takes shape; Not only the image, but also many; There are many things before you count the number of people. Elephants are born and then have numbers. This is because elephants. If the hexagrams are easy, they are born of factors, so they are born of numbers. " It can be seen from here that the relationship between "image" and "number" is: there are objects first, then there are numbers, and there are divinatory images from the numbers; Zhan Duan infers specific objects by divination and numbers. What needs to be explained here is that "image" and "number" are actually produced at the same time and cannot be separated. Where there is an image, there must be a number, and there must be an image. Just like Yin and Yang, they are all born from Tai Chi, but in no particular order. You can know Yang by observing Yin, and you can also know Yin by observing Yang.

1, various rational numbers

(1) Number of "roads"

Laozi, a philosopher of the Warring States period, once said, "The Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything." This sentence seems simple, but it contains profound philosophical sayings and summarizes the process of the emergence and development of the universe. The same is true of numbers that are easy to learn, from scratch, from 0 to 1, from 1 to 2, and from 2 to 3. That is to say, the infinite gives birth to Tai Chi, and Tai Chi gives birth to "1", which is composed of one or two yin and yang, and is the gossip of three paintings and so on. Specifically, the universe is a big pole, DNA is an Artest pool, and the smallest morphological field of life is also a big pole ... They both gave birth to two kinds of musical instruments and further developed them to produce many. The Book of Changes says: "It is easy to have Tai Chi, and it is to give birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip." This sentence is completely consistent with what Laozi said when expressing its philosophical significance.

(2) The number of heaven and earth

The Book of Changes says: "Heaven, earth and two; Tian San, Di Si; Heaven five, earth six; Bati Tianqi; Nine days and ten places. Five days, five digits, and five are integrated. Where the number of heaven and earth is fifty, there are five. This is why it has become a change and a ghost. " The number of jade within ten is mysterious, including five odd numbers:13579; Five even numbers: 24680. Odd numbers are yang and days; Even numbers are yin and ground numbers. Days added:1+3+5+7+9 = 25; Plus quota: 2+4+6+8+10 = 30; Plus the number of heaven and earth: 25+30=55. The ancients reflected the connection between heaven and earth through the odd-even opposition of these numbers. Divination is to get divination through the calculation of numbers, and to infer specific things and their relationships through divination.

(3) The number of Heluo

In order to reflect the mystery and changes of the number of ten heavens and the earth, the ancients created the river map and Luo Shu.

According to legend, when Fuxi came out of Meng He, his back was a little bit, two or seven in front, one or six behind, 38 on the left, 49 on the right and 50 in the middle. Its meaning is: central five, like five elements; One, six on the left, like the water in the north; Second, seven in six, such as Ding Huo in the south; Third, eight are behind, like A and B in the East; 49 is on the right, like Geng Xinjin in the west; Five, ten, such as the central Wuji soil. Each of the five parties has several days and several places, with a total of 55. There are many explanations for the phrase "the number of great Yan is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty" in copyright. One explanation is that the original text should be "the number of great Yan is five out of fifty", and removing the word "five" is the total number of heaven and earth in the river map. Because a double hexagram has six hexagrams, 55 MINUS 6 and 49. In River Map, the five elements displayed by the number of heaven and earth rotate clockwise, forming an innate body.

It is also said that when Dayu was harnessing the water, a turtle came out of Luohe with a tattoo on its back, which was called "Luo Shu". "Shang Shu Hong Fan" said: "Heaven and Luo Yu gave birth to books, and turtles wrote negative articles, which were listed on their backs, as many as nine." Luo Shu takes the image of a turtle, and its annotations are: wearing nine shoes, one left, three right, seven left, two four shoulders, and six or eight feet. Nine digits and nine numbers are the ninth house. Corresponding to the gossip of the day after tomorrow, the specific correspondence is: Kanyi is water, Kunyi is earth, Zhensan is wood, Xunsi is wood, Zhongwu is earth, Liu Gan is gold, Duiqi is gold, Genba is earth, and Li Jiu is fire. Its corresponding heavenly stems and five elements are: Renshuiyi, Dinghuo II, Jiamu III, Xinjinsi, Wuji Tuwu, Guishuiliu, Huhuo VII, Mu Yi VIII and Geng Jin Jiu. Turn the gram counterclockwise, and it will be used the day after tomorrow. There are dozens. But it is already in the majority, because the sum of its two opposite corners or sides is ten. At the same time, the sum of the number of heaven and earth on each side and the number of heaven and earth on each diagonal is fifteen, which fully embodies the coordination principle of the balance between yin and yang of all things in heaven and earth.

(4) Number of generations

Zheng Xuan, a Yi-ology scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in his annotation Cohesion: "Water is born in the north of heaven, fire is made in the south, trees are born in the east, gold is born in the west, and earth is born in the sky." This refers to the river map. He also said: "Yang and heaven are coupled, and Yin and Yang do not match and complement each other. 60% of the land is in the north, together with the sky; 70% of the day in the south, integrated with the ground; Eighty percent of the land is in the east, which blends with the sky, and ninety percent of the sky is in the west, which blends with the land; 100% in the middle, also in harmony with Tianwu. " Here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is a number, and 6, 7, 8, 9 is a number. "Destiny" means production, and "destiny" means that everything can be born; "Cheng" means completion, and "Cheng" means completion. The number of students matches the five elements, five parties and eight diagrams, and everything can be summarized, while the ever-changing number can summarize all movements and changes. The classical divination method is to use grass to calculate the divination image, that is, to use the four numbers "6789". These four numbers correspond to "four images", six are old yin, seven are shaoyang, eight are shaoyin and nine are Lao Yang. "Yi Gan Wei Zhi Du" said: "Yi Yi Yin Yang is known as the fifteenth way. Yang is nine out of seven, Yin is six out of eight, and it is also fifteen. " Therefore, Taiyi (B) takes its number as the ninth house, and the four positive and four dimensions are all combined into fifteen. This coincides with the figure in Luoshu, that is, six old yin plus nine, eight little yin plus seven little yang just make up fifteen, which coincides with the way of "one yin and one yang make up fifteen" or Taiji. It can be seen that it is not accidental and arbitrary to use the four numbers of 6789 to represent yin and yang in the divinatory image calculus, but it embodies the profound image concept of the ancients.

(5) Eight diagrams ordinal number

Innate gossip ordinal number:

Gan Yi, Dui Er, Li San, Zhen Si, Xun Wu, Liu Kan, Gen Qi and Kumba.

This ordinal number is arranged according to innate gossip or "Fuxi Eight Diagrams Order". From Gannan east to northeast; From northeast to southwest, cross Kanxi and return to Kunbei. From Gan to Kun, the route is just the S route of Taiji diagram, and it is also a life route. This ordinal number is a congenital number, and the number divination method in Shao Yong's The Changes of Plum Blossoms is based on this number to calculate divination. That is, when divining divination, the eight diagrams ordinal number is directly regarded as a real number, with one corresponding to dry divination, two corresponding to exchange divination, three corresponding to detached divination, four corresponding to shock divination, five corresponding to Kun divination, six corresponding to Kangua, seven corresponding to Gen divination and eight corresponding to Kun divination, so that the divination image can be obtained directly from the numbers.

Acquired gossip ordinal number:

Look at one, Kuner, Zhensan, Xunsi, Zhongwu, Liu Gan, Duiqi, Genba and Li Jiu.

This order is arranged according to the acquired gossip or "Wang Wen gossip order". That is, from Kanbei to the southwest of Kunming, to the east and west, through the palace to the northwest and west, to the northeast and finally to the south, forming the acquired universe field. The number of acquired eight diagrams is consistent with the number of nine palaces in Luo Shu, which is an important basis for inferring numbers from hexagrams. In ancient geomantic omen, this is the order of pushing people's life. (1) big derivative number and the method of "writing hexagrams"

Divination is the oldest divination method. "Zhu" refers to grass (now commonly known as Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi or Sawtooth Grass). When divining, you count the number of grass, divide it into several parts, calculate it, and then get divination.

In Cohesion, it is said: "Knowing its number is called occupation." Refers to divination by writing and calculating the number of worlds, so as to infer things. It also discusses the process and significance of divination: "The number of great Yan is fifty, and it uses nine out of forty." Divide into two similar two (referring to two instruments); Hang one like three (referring to three talents); "Take four as it is, like four"; Strange fingers (fingers) look like faces; Jump again at the age of five, so you will die if you click again. ..... is the reason why the Fourth Battalion changed, and nine times out of ten it changed its mind. Extend it, touch it, grow it, and the world can do it. "

The specific operation process is:

Preparation stage: take fifty (or fifty-five) grasses, or replace them with matchsticks and bamboo sticks. Take out one (take out six when using fifty-five). No, only the remaining 49 will be used for harvesting.

A change:

① Divide forty-nine grass stems (or other things) into left and right parts at will ("Divide into two to make them look like two").

(2) Take a piece from the right (strategy) and put it between the little finger and the ring finger of the left hand ("hanging one like three").

③ Divide the remaining strategies on the right into four strategies ("four strategies are like four seasons"). Count to the end, or one more strategy, or two more strategies, three more strategies, four more strategies, and put the rest of the strategies between the ring finger and the middle finger ("weird is like a leap").

(4) Take one of the four strategies on the left, count to the last one to four strategies, and put these remaining strategies between the middle finger and the index finger ("jump again at the age of five").

⑤ Put the raiders sandwiched between your fingers together and put them aside ("click first and then hang").

The above is a change, and the rest are all forty or forty-four.

The second change:

⑥ Divide a variable residual strategy into two parts at will, such as (1).

⑦ Hang another one, as described in ②.

⑧ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌ ⒌

Pet-name ruby refers to and then hangs, such as ⑤.

The above are two changes, and the rest are 32, 36 and 40.

Three changes:

Attending the second change of residual strategy is divided into two parts, such as (1).

⑾ hang a, such as (2)

⑿╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲╲958

Hang it after [13], as shown in (5)

These are the three changes, and the last remaining strategy is either 24, 28, 32 or 36. Divided by four, its quotient is either six, seven, eight or nine. Sixth, the old yin, merit yin, change, also known as "crossing"; Seventh, shaoyang, painting yang; Eight is less yin, painting yin; Nine is Lao Yang, which is also a change, also called "heavy".

In this way, after three revisions, a picture was drawn. A "big hexagram" with six hexagrams has to undergo eighteen changes. Before the Han Dynasty and even the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this method was mainly used in divination and divination. As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Dong Fangshuo of the Western Han Dynasty guessed the gecko by "nailing hexagrams".

After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people often used money instead of divination. This is also the "fire forest projection method". In the Tang Dynasty, Jia said in Li Zhoushu: "But in ancient times, the land was painted with wood, but now it is painted with money. With three little (back) as the most important money, nine little as the most important money; More than three (heads) means paying money, and paying money is six. More than two and less are single money, and single money is seven. Two less and one more converted into money, and eight converted into money. " In this way, from bottom to top, after shaking hands, the change of yin and yang of six hexagrams is much simplified in procedure, and it can be completed after six times.

However, in the main method of breaking hexagrams, there is a difference between the classical method of "starting hexagrams" and the method of "replacing hexagrams with money". That is, after divination, in addition to referring to divination, we infer measured things and things mainly by analyzing divination images. According to the principle of "Najia", the method of "pushing divination from the forest of fire beads" matches the six hexagrams with the main branch, the five elements, the six relatives, the world reaction and other factors, and infers the measured things mainly by analyzing the relationship between divination and divination, and divination and lunar branch. The divination methods mentioned in this paper are mainly "divination method" and "plum blossom easy number" created by Shao Yong in Song Dynasty, and "divination method with money instead of divination" will not be repeated here.

(2) "plum blossom easy to count" and digital divination.

"Yi Shu of Plum Blossoms" is another more flexible and practical divination method invented by Shao Yong, a master of Yi Studies in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is different from the divination methods of "Great Yan Zhi Number" and "Huozhulin". It is different from the general method of seeking divination without considering the number of digits, and it is also different from the complicated divination method based on the number of large derivatives. Instead, it concentrates the advantages of both, truly achieving the unity of numbers and images, and is another major turning point and breakthrough in divination. Its basic method can be summarized in two sentences: "Eight diagrams divided by eight, six diagrams divided by six".

The book "plum blossom easy number" says: "gossip is divided by eight." No matter how many hexagrams are counted, eight are all hexagrams. If the number exceeds eight, divide by eight and count with zero (remainder). You can't add it with 18 and divide it by 28 and 38, and then divide it by zero. If you get eight integers, that is,' Kun' hexagrams, you don't have to divide them. Where you start, divide the total number of hexagrams by six and use zero as the motive. If it is less than 6, stop using this number as a dynamic, and there is no need to divide it. In the case of six numbers, dividing by 16 is infinite, then dividing by 26 and 36 and dividing by zero. If it moves, just watch it. If it is Yang, it will become Yin; if it is Yin, it will become Yang. Take it if you add it. "

The characteristics of the hexagrams in The Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms are as follows: First, it is composed of two eight diagrams, not six times from bottom to top. Secondly, only one of the six hexagrams after divination is dynamic, and there must be one dynamic, but not more than two. Third, the method of breaking hexagrams is also relatively simple. In addition to looking up the hexagrams in Zhouyi according to verbs, it is mainly divided into the body use, verb change and intertextuality of Kuli hexagrams, which are judged according to the five elements. Generally speaking, in a hexagram, there are two hexagrams, one is static, the other is dynamic, and the hexagrams are changing. The relationship between the form and function of the upper and lower hexagrams in a six-hexagram painting is manifested in five elements, namely, body use, body use, body use, body use and comparison use. In addition, there is the relationship between intertextuality and pragmatism, the relationship between Change of Heart and pragmatism, and so on.

There are many directly used numbers as divination contents in The Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms, including the number of things, the number of sounds, the number of strokes, the number of words, the number of feet and so on. For example, "the number of things accounts for": when you see something that can be counted, you use the number of things that can be counted as the upper divination, the number of times at that time as the lower divination, and the number of heavy divination divided by the number of hours to determine the chess moves. "Yinzhan": Anyone who smells the sound can count, starting from the upper divination, and overtime with the lower divination. You can also use sounds, such as the sound of animals chirping or the sound of people knocking at the door, to make several hexagrams. "The number of feet accounts for": things with feet, the feet are the upper hexagrams, the number of feet is the lower hexagrams, and the number of feet is the same. Another example is "word count": if the number of words stops evenly, half of them will be divided equally between the upper and lower hexagrams; If the number of words is uneven, one less word is the upper hexagram, which means "the sky is light and bright", and one more word is the lower hexagram, which means "the ground is heavy and turbid".

For example, "Lock the door overnight to borrow things" ("Plum Blossom Easy Count"): "Winter goes and spring comes, and a gentleman holds the stove. If there is a door, the first button stops, then five buttons are pressed, and the cloud borrows something. Don't say anything, sir. His son took it, and he sincerely borrowed it. Take one as the upper hexagram, five as the lower hexagram, and a pile of five hexagrams * * * six numbers. If you add the unitary time to ten, * * * will get sixteen. Divide by six, 26 12 (more than four), and you get the' female queen' of Tianfeng, and the fourth one becomes awkward; See you again. In the hexagrams, three pieces of dry gold and two pieces of wood belong to Jin Mu. The dry gold is short and the pieces of wood are long. This is an axe. Zi Naiduan said,' A short piece of gold is also an old man's tool, and a hoe is also used.' The gentleman said,' If it's not true, it must be an axe'. If you smell it, you can borrow an axe. His son asked why. Mr. Wang said:' The starting number must be reasonable. Push it with hexagrams, axes or hoes; Push it with reason. If you use a hoe at night, you must borrow an axe. Cover it with an axe and cut it for chopping wood. Deduction must be reasonable and divination must be correct. ""Time and space are one of the basic forms of things. Everything is produced, died, moved and changed in a certain time and space. Everything is restricted by time and space, and the specific time and space also reflect the specific characteristics and laws of change and development of things. The word "universe", "Yu" refers to infinite space, and the universe refers to infinite time. To say that Zhouyi is a "cosmic algebra" refers to the divinatory image system of Zhouyi, which not only contains infinite temporality, but also shows infinite spaciousness. It organically connects and unifies everything with time and space to form a multi-dimensional holographic relationship. Just like this, it is the secret of divination and divination in Yi-ology to get divination through a certain time or space, connecting with specific things and the laws of their development and change. Time divination and space divination are the reflection of this mystery.

From the holographic point of view, time and space constitute a spatio-temporal network office system. In terms of time, everything in the universe is always holographic in its time flow, and the time structure of each moment is the same. The last thing contains the original thing, which develops into the last thing after a certain time change, that is, the hologram of the beginning and the result. The so-called "as you sow, you reap" is a profound manifestation of this truth. From the perspective of space, space and matter are also holographic. Not only is the spatial structure of matter an expression of the structure of space itself, but each space quantum contains the information of the whole material world. There is holographic correspondence between all parts of the same body and the whole, and any part is a potential individual. At the same time, there is also a holographic relationship between things at the same level in spatial structure, and each individual has the same structure, function and information as all individuals at that level. The so-called "draw inferences from others" is the reflection of this law.

The universe is the intersection of time and space, time is the vertical distribution of space, and space is the horizontal arrangement of time. Both of them are dynamic and static, one virtual and one real, forming a three-dimensional coordinate system. Every intersection of time and space in this three-dimensional coordinate system is a concrete thing, and the trajectory of the movement, development and change of everything will be reflected in this main coordinate system. "Everything depends on time, place and conditions" is not only the living soul in Marxist philosophy, but also the essential connotation in China's mathematics. The prediction principle of Zhouyi is also a reflection of this essential connotation. The method of divination by time is also an important method invented by Shao Yong, which is based on the number of years, months and days. Its main contents are:

After the number of years, months and days is added and divided by eight, the remainder is the upper divination, and the number of years, months, days and hours is added and divided by eight, and the remainder is the lower divination; Year, month, day and hour are added and divided by six, and the remainder is a dynamic number.

Its year, month, day and time are all in the lunar calendar. The number of months and days, that is, the number of months and days in the lunar calendar. The number of years and hours are as follows:

Years: I didn't apply in the afternoon.

Hours: Zi Chou Chen hasn't applied yet this afternoon.

Visit:1234556789101112.

The method of divination from year, month, day and time is the most important reflection method. If you repeat it several times at the same time, you should add the sequence number of each time when you start divination. Generally speaking, you don't add it for the first time. From the second time, you add 2, 3 and 4 in turn.

For example,1February 23rd, Chinese New Year, I hid in Miss Li's house several times in a row. Divination is as follows:

The first divination is that fire and water are hydrolyzed by thunder.

Analysis of divinatory symbols: the external divinatory symbols are separated from the shock wood, and the wood is born in four fires; In addition, the water in Nebling changed its mind and shook the wood. This thing is an outhouse, soft, wooden, moist, bright white, edible, and it is a vegetable or something. It was half a garlic moss.

The second divination leads to feng shui.

Analysis of divinatory symbols: the external rafters are vegetation, bright green, and the internal Kun turns into water and is soft; Xunti, Kun Yong, Tike is a broken thing; Kuntu becomes water, has moisture, is still edible, and is still a vegetable. It was cabbage leaves.

The second prophecy is Shui Ze Festival, which needs water and heaven.

According to the analysis of hexagrams, the dry gold in the inner hexagrams becomes gold, which is a metal object, and the golden water in the body is a complete object, which is related to the bottle and the ridge is related to the water. This is the lid of a teacup. Spatial divination refers to divination directly based on people or things and their positions. For example, on a certain day in a certain year, someone came directly from the east and turned to the south after entering the door to test what was in his hand. According to the orientation of visitors, the earthquake belongs to wood in the east and fire in the south. A long fire is short, and it is hidden in your hand, like a matchstick.

According to people or things and their orientation, Shao Yong called it "divination after the end of law". The method is: "take things as the upward direction, things as the downward direction, combine the number of things with the square number, and take dynamic numbers for overtime."

For example, in the Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms, "Old people are worried": "I am ugly on the road, and some old people are worried. Ask him why he is worried. Say:' nothing'. Strange and occupy it. Taking the elderly as the upper divination and the lower divination is the natural wind' female queen'. Also, the number of five, the number of Shi Mao four, the total number of ten, divided by six, four is the dynamic trend, which is the' Queen's Wind'. " Yi said: "Fish is fierce" is a bad word in Yi. Take hexagrams as the body, rafters as the body, and dry gold; Mutual divination and heavy work, all gram-shaped, lifeless, on the way, with speed. So he took half of the hexagrams and said to the old man, "If you go in and out carefully within five days, you may be in big trouble." On the fifth day, the old man went to Kyrgyzstan and died of fishbone. "

Another example is the "wind mat curtain" in The Mystery of Breaking the Aliens (written by Pingyuan Zi): I was sitting there quietly reading at noon last winter, when suddenly the wind blew the curtain from the south, and I felt that I had divination. The wind is upward and the south is downward. It was the wind that burned the house, left each other and changed it. "Ci" said:' Home (high mouth) (high mouth), regret, stingy, and finally stingy'. Duanyue: Tomorrow, a Taoist priest with heart disease will come. Xun never dies, and his family goes with him. Mutual divination can be separated from fire and centrifugal, so the heart is sick. Away from the fire is the image of pool gas, wood is the liver, and it is the main eye, so there are tears in the eyes.

The above lists several main divination methods. In addition, there are many divination methods in Zhouyi, especially many random divination methods in Yi Shu of Plum Blossoms, which make it more flexible, but to achieve a high level of usability, we must master everything and its divination images in our minds.

In a word, it is a superb technology to practice with Zhouyi theory. It can neither be regarded as a deceptive magic nor a simple game. The phenomenon of shooting cover profoundly reflects the holographic connection between reason, number, time and space, everything and the divinatory images in Zhouyi, and also profoundly explains the fact that it is easy to be accurate with heaven and earth, which is worth our in-depth study and discussion.
