What is the I Ching?Arguing for thousands of years, my understanding is six concentric circles

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-29

Some people say that the 19th century is the century of Britain, the 20th century is the century of the United States, and the 21st century is undoubtedly the century of China.

China has led the world for 2,000 years, has been quiet for two centuries, and now, the king is back!

Economist Lin Yifu said that China's GDP is expected to surpass that of the United States in 2030, and by 2035, the GDP of the United States will be only 2 3 of China.

At that time, Made in China has become Made in the World, Chinese Standards have become World Standards, and Chinese systems have become World Systems. China has returned to its former pinnacle status and achieved great national rejuvenation.

Culture is the soul of a country and a nation. Culture rejuvenates the country and prospers, culture is strong, and the nation is strong. Without a high degree of cultural self-confidence and cultural prosperity, there will be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

So, where does the cultural confidence of the Chinese come from?

Is it food?Is it Chinese medicine?Is it Confucianism?Or is it poetry and songs?

Not at all!The author wants to say that the change of **, which has been seriously distorted since May Fourth, is the soul of rejuvenation.

Regarding the status of the Book of Changes, in fact, it has long been decided, and there is a way: the head of the group of scriptures, the source of the avenue.

Yu Shinan of the Tang Dynasty said: "If you don't read it, you can't think of it as a general";Japan's Meiji Emperor also said, "Those who do not know how to change will not be allowed to enter the cabinet." ”

However, what is the I Ching?

This may seem like a strange proposition, but it's realistic.

A university professor, a Ph.D. supervisor of the I Ching, ran to the Feng Shui Bazi Street next to the temple and asked the so-called I Ching masters. The two of them must not have the head of the bull in the horse's mouth, and they can't pee in a pot.

In the last century, when the domestic Zhouyi Association was not established, Mr. Feng Shui was a feudal remnant. These people, represented by Shao Weihua, at a certain point in the 80s, united in Shanghai and demanded a name from their superiors. It is said that they showed their superhuman ** talent on the spot, and the local network was finally opened.

This is a civil case. Let's talk about a public case in the academic world.

Shao Weihua was able to participate in the Zhouyi Academic Symposium in 1987, which was led by Professor Liu Dajun of Shandong University. In a congratulatory letter sent to the symposium at that time, Mr. Feng Youlan said that "Zhou Yi" was originally a Zheng book, so it was necessary to investigate and study the Zheng method. Liu Dajun later published the book "Najia Zheng Law", which systematically sorted out the knowledge of the six masters.

But this book was strongly opposed by Feng Youlan's **-Zhu Bokun and others, believing that the I Ching was vulgarized, and the dignified university professor could not go astray and become a charlatan. So they broke up and no longer participated in each other's activities. Liu Dajun didn't care about face for this, and refuted ...... publicly and privately

Is the Najia Zheng method the I Ching?The gods also quarrel!

In fact, thousands of years of easy learning history is also a process of quarreling for thousands of years.

Recently, it is said that since May Fourth, Guo Moruo and Gu Jiegang have dug their own ancestral graves, and they have researched the history of the book and that time, and their words are accurate. However, with the disappearance of history, how many catties and taels are left behind are all floating clouds.

Further up. Wang Bi, a famous philosopher in the Wei and Jin dynasties, used metaphysics to explain easy learning, unique righteousness, swept away the number of techniques, and changed the science of elephant numbers into speculative philosophy. There is a saying called "Wang Bi sweeps the elephant", which is also disagreeable to the world.

The Jingfang of the former Han Dynasty founded the Najia Zheng method, and the theories recorded in the "Jingshi Yi Chuan" include Najia Theory, Nazhi Theory, Eight Palace Theory, Five Elements Theory, Hexagram Master Theory, Feifu Theory, Mutual Body Theory, Hexagram Qi Theory and so on dozens of kinds. The original source of Liu Dajun's controversy lies in him.

The most ferocious quarrel is the biography. I Ching is I Ching, I Chuan is Yi Ching, Yi Chuan is Yi Chuan, and Yi Chuan is not qualified to mix in the I Ching. The Book of Changes is a collection of dictionaries from ancient times, and the Book of Changes was written by the late Warring States period to the end of the Western Han DynastyThe I Ching does not have advanced philosophical thoughts, and the I Ching interprets and empowers the ideas of the I Ching.

Since Confucius, there have been various controversies about the I Ching, and it is impossible to figure out what the I Ching is.

The Siku Quanshu once summed up the "two schools and six sects": the two factions are the Xiangshu sect and the Yili sect, and the six sects are the Xiangshu sect, the Zhenxiang sect, the creation sect, the Lao Zhuang sect, the Confucian sect, and the historical affairs sect. Attacking each other, it is difficult to unify the study of the I Ching.

The author has been engaged in Yihua for 30 years, and after 30 years of thinking, he has come to the conclusion that Yihua has six levels, that is, 6 concentric circles.

The core layer refers to the theoretical foundation of the I Ching, including the induction of heaven and man, the book of Hetuluo, yin and yang, the five elements, the eight trigrams, the stem branches, the solar terms, the stars, etc. Only by understanding these can you understand Chinese culture.

The second layer is the hexagram of the I Ching, 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, that is, the real I Ching, the I Ching in the narrowest sense.

The third layer is the Book of Changes, that is, the Ten Wings, a total of ten articles, which expound the philosophy and doctrine of the Book of Changes from various angles. By extension, the I Ching interpretations that have been abundant for thousands of years fall into this category.

But why does the I Ching have such a great charm and have been passed down for thousands of years?The powerful mystical ** attribute is the subtlety of the I Ching.

In ancient times, when there was a major military and political event, they would ask God for divination. King Wu of Zhou crusaded against the king of Shang, Emperor Wu of Han conquered the Xiongnu in the north, and Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, all of which carried out divination in advance. The doctrine of the I Ching constitutes the three levels outside the Yijing.

The fourth layer is the I Ching divination, the most traditional and authentic divination, fifty yarrow, eighteen hexagrams, and then analyze the hexagrams.

Later, the three methods of Jiao's Yi, Najia Zheng and Meihua Yi were derived, which is the fifth layer.

Jiao Gan created his own system, expanding from three hundred and eighty-four to four thousand and ninety-six, solving the problem of changing many hexagrams and having no choice, and the other two put aside the orthodox scriptures of the hexagrams, and completely judged by the five elements and eight trigrams of heaven and earth, and gradually distanced from Wen Wang Yi.

The sixth level of the I Ching is all the Chinese mathematical culture. There are ten major books in the sub-section of the Siku Quanshu, including Feng Shui, Numerology, Qimen, Liuren, physiognomy, charms, etc.

The ancients said: one life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue, five reading, six seven phases and eight gods, nine nobles and ten health. Whether it is Bazi, Feng Shui, or choosing a day and physiognomy, the Chinese are typical "ordinary people use it every day without knowing it".

To sum up, 6 levels, that is, 6 concentric circles, will be easy to turn into a net. The doctrine of six changes is like a key, a magic weapon, which can assist the king to govern the country and level the world, and benefit the people to obtain wealth and health.

For the revival of China, the I Ching is bound to be the best tool, and conversely, the I Ching is also an opportunity for the unjust treatment.

Prosperous China, easy to sweep the world, are you ready?
