Numerology

As a traditional culture, fortune-telling has flowed in the long river of human history, and practitioners of eight-character are all over all levels of society. In ancient times, it was widely used in both the royal family and the market.

I Ching

The Book of Changes is an important ideological classic that lays the foundation of traditional Chinese culture, and is known as the first of the group classics, the source of the avenue, and an important foundation for the composition of Eastern philosophy. In the "Summary of the Four Libraries of the Whole Book", it is said: "Yi Dao is vast and all-encompassing, and it can be used to talk about astronomy, geography, music, the art of war, rhyme, and arithmetic. It illustrates the practical value of easy to **. However, the I Ching is not specifically used for fortune telling, and the I Ching includes two parts: Yili and Yishu. Yili is used to guide life and teach everyone the truth of being a person and doing things, and our eight-character numerology is one of the methods of mathematics, which is used to apply technology to avoid evil, so that people can do big things without being confused, and small things are well known.

The use of Bazi in today's society

The current society has entered the information age, facing a variety of problems such as speed, competition, pressure, survival, emotion, etc., although the increase in film and television, tourism, and party activities is now, but it cannot solve people's tension and anxiety, and cannot solve the strong desire for further education, employment, promotion, wealth, longevity, etc. So the eight-character numerology meets the needs of modern people.

Understanding good luck and evil: Traditional eight-character numerology is based on the concept of yin and yang five behaviors, combined with the heavenly and earthly branches to build a set of conceptual framework to predict the general development law of the future, understand the good and evil, so that we have a goal in the good and a warning in the bad way.

Improve the environment: With the participation of Bazi numerology, combined with Feng Shui, the microenvironment and microclimate of people's lives have been improved, making the environment in which people live more ideal and scientific.

What is Bazi

Eight characters, also known as four pillars. It refers to the year, month and day of our birth, which are composed of two characters, the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, which together are eight characters, so they are called eight characters. And the pillars of the year, the moon, the sun, and the hour are like four pillars that support our lives!Therefore, the eight characters are also called four pillars.

For example, a man was born at 12 o'clock on June 15, 1980 in the solar calendar, and the lunar calendar is the third noon of the fifth month of the Gengshen year (see Ganzhi for this part of the knowledge, and this feeling logic is enough). 1980 is the year of Gengshen, commonly known as the year of the monkey, so Gengshen is the year pillar of this person. In 1980, the fifth month of the lunar calendar was the month of Renwu, and Renwu was the moon pillar. The third day of the first month is the day of the month, and the day is not the pillar of the sun. 12 o'clock is the time of Geng noon, and Geng noon is the time column. The eight characters of this proposition are:Gengshen, Renwu, Jiwei, Gengwu.

The principle of the eight-character **

Everyone has their own four pillars, or eight characters, and any time can form a specific four pillars and eight characters. According to the eight characters of this time, we can conduct a comprehensive analysis of the information such as the heavenly and earthly branches, yin and yang five elements, etc., and we can speculate on the development law of people's marriage and love feelings, financial luck, career, studies, health, etc., which is called eight-character numerology. Also commonly known as fortune telling, it is an easy-to-learn analysis method with a long history in ancient China, and it is not supernatural or superstitious.

Yin and yang

In the early days of human beings, yin and yang only appeared as the meaning of the sun's daylight facing back, and those facing the sun were called yang, and those who carried the sun on their backs were called yin, and soon after, it was extended to mean the cold and warm climate.

Later, with the continuous improvement of people's understanding, Yin and Yang were used as a philosophical concept to widely explain the dynamic equilibrium energy of the two existences in the natural world and human society, which are opposed to each other, grow and disappear, contradict and unify. For example, the sun and the moon, day and night, light and dark, movement and static, inside and outside, cold and heat, male and female, male and female, rigid and soft, and so on. Both can be divided into two aspects, yin and yang, but these two aspects are coordinated and complementary.

Because of this reason, the Book of Changes has a saying that "one yin and one yang is the Tao". This Tao refers to the basic laws of the natural changes and development of heaven and earth. In the Book of Changes, it is said: "Wuji gives birth to Taiji, and Taiji gives birth to Liangyi." These two instruments have the meaning of yin and yang.

Yin and yang are everywhere. Because of the concept of yin and yang, everything has two aspects of opposites and unity, so conversely, everything in the world can also be divided into yin and yang. Take a mobile phone as an example, the front of the mobile phone is yang, the back is yin, the visible shell is yang, and the invisible system is yin.

Yin and Yang can be transformed into each other. Yin and yang are also not static, they can be transformed with the transformation of the reference condition. There is yang in yin, there is yin in yang, the yin side of all things in heaven and earth can contain yang, and the yang side of all things in heaven and earth can also contain yin. Just like the yin and yang fish, there is yang in yin, yin in yang, it is a unified whole, and there is the separation of yin and yang, you have me, I have you.

Five lines

The Five Elements, also known as the Five Elements Theory, is the basic way of understanding the world, and the concept of the Five Elements began in the Book of Shang, which simply refers to the five common natural material materials of water, fire, wood, metal, and earthLater, after the development and evolution of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, on the basis of the thinking of mutual growth and mutual restraint, it was attached to the elements of yin and yang, four times, five directions, and five virtues to form a complete model of the five elements system.

Shangshu Hongfan once recorded that "the five elements, one is water, two is fire, three is wood, four is gold, and five is earth." "The characteristics of the five elements: water is moist, fire is fire, wood is straight, gold is from the leather, from the leather is to obey the requirements of the people to change the form, the soil is the crop, the grain is the crop.

Jinism, slaughter, strong;Wood master benevolence, upward germination;The water lord is wise, intelligent and smart;Fire officiates, civilization, light and heat;The owner of the soil is faithful, thick and steadfast. All things that have the functions or properties of growth, rising, and comfortable conditions belong to wood;Mechanisms that have a warming, rising, or nature are attributed to fire;The mechanisms that have the loading, biochemical and receiving effects are all attributed to the soil;The mechanism with cleaning, suppression, and astringent effects is attributed to gold;It has a cool, moisturizing, downward running mechanism, all of which belong to water.

The five elements are mutually reinforcing. The ancients believed that all things in heaven and earth are composed of five basic substances: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and that due to the movement and changes of these five basic substances, a rich and colorful material world is formed.

The five elements are born together:It is that one substance has a growth-promoting effect on another. The law is: wood begets fire, fire begets earth, earth begets gold, gold begets water, and water begets wood.

Wood makes fire because the wood is warm, and the fire is hidden in it, and the wood is drilled to make a fire, so the wood makes a fire;

Fire gives birth to earth because fire is very hot and can burn wood, and after the wood is burned, it becomes ashes, and ash is earth, so fire gives birth to earth;

The native gold is because the gold needs to be hidden in the mountains and rocks, attached to the mountains, and the mountains will give birth to gold and stones, so the native gold;

Jin sheng water is because gold is warm and moist, water depends on gold, and molten gold can be turned into water, so gold gives birth to water;

Aquatic wood is an aquatic wood because the water is warm and moist to make the trees grow luxuriantly.

The five elements are mutually restrained: that is, one substance has the effect of restraint and restraint on another substance. The law is: wood overcomes earth, soil overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, and gold overcomes wood.

The principle is that the nature of heaven and earth, the many are better than the few, so the water is better than the fire;Essence is better than strong, so fire is better than gold;Rigid and soft, so gold wins wood;Specializing in the scattered, so the wood is better than the soil;The real is better than the virtual, and the homeland is better than the water.

Gang Shengrou, so Jin Shengmu, because knives can cut down trees;

Specializing in scattering, so wood is better than soil, because trees can take root in the soil;

The real is better than the virtual, and the land is better than the water, because the dikes can stop the flow of water;

The many are outnumbered, so the water is better than the fire, because the great water can extinguish the flame;

Essence is better than strength, so fire is better than gold, because fire can melt metal.

It seems to be mutually restrictive, but it is actually mutually beneficial.
