What knowledge does Taiji Map show?

Taiji map, also known as congenital map or natural map of heaven and earth, is the most mysterious and controversial map in ancient China culture.

Although it has been clearly put forward in the Book of Changes. "Coherent Biography": "It is easy to have Tai Chi, which is to give birth to two instruments." However, none of the Zhouyi handed down after the Han Dynasty was accompanied by Tai Chi pictures. It was not until Chen Bo, a Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, that Tai Chi pictures were published, which were divided into "innate" and "acquired". Later, based on Chen Bo's biography, Zhou Dunyi, a Neo-Confucianism scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote the article Tai Chi Tu, developed the viewpoint of Zhouyi and put forward the philosophical thought of "infinity and Tai Chi". It was not until Zhu wrote the original meaning of Zhouyi that Taiji was formally attached to Zhouyi. He saw that there was no Taiji Diagram, and Zhouyi was just an ordinary divination book. "It is not the first in the above-mentioned group classics. In the meantime, Shao Yong, the first theorist who really studied Taiji Diagram, was meticulous. Shao Yong said that the innate Taiji diagram was drawn by Fuxi, and the acquired Taiji diagram was drawn by Zhou Wenwang. And pointed out: "Fuxi Yi, at the beginning, there were no words, only pictures to express its image." "And the principle of everything in heaven and earth, Yin and Yang, has been changing." Zhu believes that the Taiji diagram originated from the Zhouyi Shentongqi written by Wei Boyang, an alchemist in the Han Dynasty. Hu Weiwei, a later master of Yi Studies, also said, "Tai Chi takes the shape of the moon with magical powers. Second, use three or five, and also participate in the gossip of Jiugong. " From this point of view, there seems to be no doubt that an indirect source of Taiji diagram is Taoism.

(2) Modern theory of Taiji diagram

Judging from the Taiji diagram, it has strong witchcraft cultural characteristics. Can it be further assumed that Taiji diagram is the general program and source of ancient witchcraft culture in China?

(3) Taiji Diagram and Fuxi

There is a very important saying in the Book of Changes: "Gu Bao (Fuxi) is the king of the world. When he looks up, he observes the images in the sky, when he looks down, he observes the laws in the earth, the articles of birds and beasts, and walks in the right place, taking all the bodies and things far away, so he starts gossip to understand the virtues of the gods and the feelings of the same kind." At the same time, it is pointed out that Fuxi era is still an era of "tying ropes to weave nets and renting fishing". Archaeologically speaking, this period is still in a primitive tribal state forced by natural forces and struggling to cope. It is such an era, how can there be leisure and technical means to look up at astronomical geography and make such a mysterious gossip Taiji map? This has to start with the legend of Fuxi.

Fuxi also wrote Fuxi, Baoxi, Tai Hao, Toffee and so on. "Emperor Century" said that he was "the great emperor of the Bao family" ... born later, the first virtue was in wood, and he was the first of a hundred kings. The emperor is in the east because of the earthquake and no reason. The master is like the sun, and his name is Tai Hao. "

Modern research holds that Fuxi's "Fu" is a phonetic word, which should be pronounced as "Pu" according to the ancient pronunciation, and "Pu" means "greatness". So Fuxi is "big", and this "big" is the God of the East (xi He, the sun god) in pre-Qin classics, which means Fuxi may actually be related to the sun or a constellation in the East. According to historical records, Fuxi and Dragon are closely related. Zuo Zhuan said, "Tai Hao's family is a dragon." "The Collection of Notes" also said: "The god of the snake body, that is, Huang Xi." It is from this point that we have found a small breakthrough.

As far as we can see, there was a snake image of Fuxi in the pottery decoration of Yangshao culture more than 7000 years ago. From the perspective of cultural anthropology, ancient cultural symbols (including wizard culture) are mostly symbolic, which Levi Strauss called "intuition close to sensibility". So, can we think that the so-called "snake head" of Fuxi is only a symbolic expression, suggesting that Fuxi is a demigod and a life directly related to the "dragon" (perhaps a flying saucer)? In addition, Fuxi's birth is also very mysterious. "Historical records. Supplementary Biography of Huang San records that his mother "was a great man with Lei Ze" was born to Fuxi. "There was Long Rui, who was named a Taishi by Long Jiguan." If Fuxi was a "big sun god", he came to the earth in a "dragon" (flying saucer). After teaching some astronomical and geographical knowledge and some magical powers (special functions), because the wisdom of the ancients was not opened, in order not to make the advanced civilizations of other planets lost, he left a complete Taiji map for future generations to decipher. Therefore, it is not surprising that we see the all-encompassing content of Tai Chi map today.

(4) Taiji Diagram and Astronomy

Taiji diagram can be said to be in the same strain as ancient astronomy in China. The theoretical basis of ancient astronomy in China is Yin-Yang theory and Five Elements theory. The theory of five elements was first seen in Shangshu, and the theory of yin and yang originated from Zhouyi and Taiji diagram. Huai Nan Zi. Astronomical Training corresponds the principle of Yin and Yang to the sun, moon and stars, and holds that the sun is the essence of fire when the yang is condensed. Yin Qi condenses into water, and the essence of water is the moon, so it is also called the sun, and the moon is lunar. As for the stars, they are a combination of the overflowing qi of the sun and the moon, which are different because of the different components of yang essence and yin essence. Later, the five elements were matched with five tones, five colors and even five virtues, from astronomy to personnel.

This astronomical theory based on the theory of Yin and Yang and the theoretical system of "the correspondence between man and nature" are also the products of "observing the image of heaven and the method of observing the earth" and "taking things near the body and taking things far away from the body" mentioned in Zhouyi (which may be conveyed by the way of inspiration information in Taiji diagram).

In addition, as far as the Taiji diagram itself is concerned, the Yin-Yang instrument records the images of day and night and the sequence of seasons caused by the earth's rotation and revolution. In addition, the intersection angle (ecliptic angle) between the earth's orbit plane and its rotation orbit plane is 23 26' 2 ". From the Taiji diagram, the included angle between the S-shaped spirochetes of the Yin-Yang instrument is just around 23. So some people think that the specific mode of Tai Chi is the earth.

In ancient times, when traffic was blocked and tools were extremely backward, how did you reach the level of drawing fields with the earth as a model? This goes back to Fuxi. A record in "Integration of Ancient and Modern Books" said, "When Fuxi was in ancient times, the dragon and horse took pictures of Afghanistan, and Fuxi took them to draw gossip." Referring to the above assumption about dragons, then "dragon horse" may also be a symbolic expression of flying saucers. That is to say, a "big Xi" connected with alien civilization drew eight diagrams and Tai Chi diagrams with digital codes and models provided by "Dragon Horse" (flying saucer).

More interestingly, in some training maps handed down from ancient times in Shidun, Taiji map was converted into astronomical map, and the Big Dipper was placed in the center. From this map, our world is centered on the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper refers to 28 nights in all directions in 12 months every year, lasting 24 solar terms, 72 days, 365 days and a quarter of a day. Therefore, some people who practice Qigong must follow this map and face the direction pointed by the Big Dipper when collecting qi.

(5) Taiji Diagram and Chinese Medicine

Taiji diagram, like astronomy, is closely related to ancient medicine in China. Huangdi Neijing said: "The foundation of life is the yin and yang of books." Because Taiji diagram is "close to all bodies", the way of Yin and Yang also covers the whole field of traditional Chinese medicine, which has become the basis of ancient life science in China. Zhouyi Shuo Gua Zhuan pointed out: "The stem is the head, Kun is the abdomen, the shock is the foot, the training is the stock, the spine is the ear, the separation is the purpose, the root is the hand, and the mouth is the mouth." Match the human organs with the gossip in the Taiji diagram. Neijing further links the human viscera and blood vessels with the sun, the moon, mountains and oceans through analogy, forming a theory that "man's small world" and "nature's big world" are one. In this regard, the history of Chinese medicine has left a large number of maps, which are precious materials for our life science research today.

Today, some people study life science according to the gossip theory in Taiji diagram, and think that it contains the information of longevity. According to the Taiji diagram, the normal life span of a person should be 1 19 ~ 148 years. Furthermore, based on the philosophy of "changing fate" and the inference of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi, it is concluded that the life span of a person is 384 years old. Some time ago, someone scanned and analyzed the human brain through the advanced brain function scanning technology-EEG, and the result was surprising: the human brain is a pool model.

From this, it can be seen that "Tai Chi Tu" is simple and complicated, which shows a high degree of knowledge, both in astronomy and in human body. This was unimaginable in ancient times.
