What I share today is the first hexagram of "Zhou Yi", Qiangua. The hexagram is dry and dry, that is, there are three yang lines at the top and bottom. The hexagram is"Won-hyung, Li-jeong. ”
The sixty-four hexagrams of Zhou Yi are arranged in pairs for the eight trigrams. The three yangs are also known as the Qiangua in the Bagua, which is the most masculine of the Bagua, indicating the newborn sun. The Qiangua in the 64 hexagrams of "Zhou Yi" consists of two newborn suns stacked together, which can be seen to mean the sun.
The word dry has a rich meaning. Judging from the glyph, the left half of the dry character plus the upper right side of the glyph are combined into a 倝 (four tones of the sound stem), which means that the sun is rising, the sun is rising, and the light is also bright, that is, the sun is rising and the golden light is brilliant. Therefore, the character Qianzi in yin and yang represents masculine things, according to the introduction of "Zhou Yi Diagram", the Qiangua in the Bagua can represent heaven, monarch, father, and so on. Below the right side of the dry character is the B character of A and B, which is shaped like the appearance of a plant flexing and growing. Therefore, the word dry also has the meaning of growth.
Shuowen Jie Zi explains the dry character as "up". The ancient buildings of our country have upper and lower exits. The upper exit is the eaves above, and the lower exit is the pedestal below. The upper outlet should be more than the lower outlet to ensure that the rainwater does not drench on the pedestal. Therefore, the word dry is also connected with dry and wet. Duan Yuci believes that Confucius's interpretation of the Qiangua as "Heaven is strong, and the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement", which is derived from the original meaning of "going up".
The hexagram of the Qiangua is:"Won-hyung, Li-jeong. ”The ancient character shape of the Yuan character resembles a sideways human figure with a protruding head, and the original meaning is the human head. The head is located at the highest point of the human body, and its function is very important, so it is extended to be the first and first. It is also used to represent the origin of all things in heaven and earth, and has a fundamental meaning. The word Heng means accessible, smooth. The original meaning of the word sharp is that the knife and sword are sharp. By extension, smoothness and convenience. By extension, it refers to interests, benefits, and profits. "Good for so-and-so". The word Zhen was first seen in the Shang Dynasty oracle bone inscriptions, and the original meaning is divination. In the oracle bone inscriptions, the diviner is called a sadajin. In the eyes of the ancients, these diviners were people of good character, so the word "chastity" was extended to mean consistent words and deeds, upright, and later pretended to mean "steadfast" or "ethical".
"Won-hyung, Li-jeong. ”Taken together, the meaning of these four words is that it is the smoothest and is conducive to the result of divination. The ancients divined the auspiciousness of a thing, and if the result is shown as a trigram, it means that the matter will be very smooth, full of vigor and unfavorable.
The inspiration of the Qiangua is that if something is in a state of vigorous upward movement, and we ourselves are in a state of vigorous upward movement, then success is inevitable.
This is the first hexagram of "Zhou Yi" shared today, the Qiangua. The lower dry and the upper dry, the hexagram is"Won-hyung, Li-jeong.
