I Ching Principles (4)
In the era of the nomadic people, the whole observation of yin and yang was fixed, and after knowing it, they knew a lot. Nomadic people knew that under any living conditions, there must be yin and yang. Because it has yin and yang, it can produce and be fertile. In the process of survival, there must be yin and yang, so when the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period is talking about yin and yang, then when it comes to solitary yin and yang, solitary yang will not last, it just cannot exist alone.
People have yin and yang, as long as you can continue to survive, yin and yang must be harmonized, but yin and yang must be reconciled, but they cannot be absolutely equal, just reconciled, not absolutely equal. After a little reconciliation, there must be mutual growth and decline, more and less. So the earliest discussion on a family must be about husband and wife, not parents, nor son and daughter-in-law, but husband and wife first, then husband and wife are so good that they stick together every day, then the two must be dead. Why? Don't go to work, stick together, this way will certainly be destroyed. So the two do not reconcile, do not grow and fall with each other, or the wife is fierce, or the husband is fierce, the wife is smarter, or the husband is smarter, if there is no such thing, there is no way.
This is quite important in the theory of yin and yang, so people ask me what is the relationship between the five elements of yin and yang and the trigram of the Yijing? In fact, it is a different research. It was only combined after the Han Dynasty. In the past, the five elements of yin and yang and the trigram of the Yijing were two systems. They were very different systems. The way of the five elements, it is not related to the divination. Did the hexagrams actually come into play, or did they exist after the Han Dynasty? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a Bu, and the words of such a Bu were mixed with the tortoise shells and cattle bones of the Shang Dynasty. In the Zhou Dynasty, the scribbles were generally used. The scribbles in the Zhou Dynasty had a great influence and affected the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not have scrawl grass, so bamboo was used to repair in pieces, 50 pieces, take one out. Forty-nine articles are divided into upper and lower trigram in both sides.
In this method, when the Japanese sent many foreign students to the Tang Dynasty, they learned this trick and returned to Japan. Therefore, Japanese hexagrams Bu were made using bamboo. After the Tang Dynasty, it took another two hundred years to reach the Southern Song Dynasty before Zhu Xi's Bu. Zhu Xi ’s Bu is different, because at that time there was a kind of money called Tongbao, and that money was used for that kind of Bu. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, after Jiaqing, they used the Kangxi Tongbao, round money, the middle party, Kangxi Tongbao or Qianlong Tongbao, and used that money to Bu.
Bu this thing also has to talk about yin and yang in everything, if all Yang in theory is called Lao Yang. Lao Yang moves but changes, so the whole yin is called Lao Yin, and Lao Yin also moves and change . This is a later thing. Why is it applied to the end? This is a considerable key. In fact, Zhou Yi and Zhou Gu had no relationship at all at that time. The real Bu was the Shang Bu. When the Shang Bu finally arrived in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, used the key of Zhou Wen. Bring it together. On the one hand, it was combined with the bones of the tortoise shell and the tortoise shell in Zhou Wenwen's small spoon, and then there was another group. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, there was a group of Bu, using the Zhou Yiwen's small spoon as a Bu. It was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. People did not reuse Cuyuan. He was very inferior, he did Bu everywhere, and he wrote LiSao mentioned about Bu but had no result in the end. Why was there no result? He had no results, that is to say, no matter what you do, you just have a dead end. If you do, you can’t be an official. He said that it ’s so meaningless without being an official in this life, so he jumped in Bulou river and killed himself.
When Qu Yuan was there, he wrote it clearly in Lisao. At that time, Bu was a continuation of the Shang Dynasty model, and was covered by the method of Xiaochi explained by King Zhou Wen of the Zhou Dynasty in 1045 BC. At that time, Bu did not have Yin and Yang. Hand use 9 yin use 6, so why not use the solution of yin and yang? Instead, use the 9 and 6 solutions. Then there is another research system. The solution of 9 and 6 uses another system, the mathematical system.
This number comes out. 12345678910 This is the real Chinese character for counting. This is the earliest number in China. There are prime numbers and multipliers. The prime numbers are empty and the multipliers are prime. Something really exists. Empty is color, color is empty, prime numbers are empty, and multiplier quality is color. Buddhism was established by thinkers in 520 BC, so the use of this number was determined in the Shang dynasty before the Zhou Dynasty. In addition to Buddhism, the application of the number was established. It can be seen that the number was established in 2100 BC, that is, the number of births and the multiplier.
