In this episode of the program, we will talk about the three numbers of 369 in the Book of Changes, these three numbers are closely related to the Book of Changes, there is a saying called 369 to go up, there is a folk legend that it is 369 to go up This sentence comes from Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, saying that Zhang Juzheng was the prime minister in those years, the emperor was still in his infancy, in order to facilitate the emperor to go to court, Zhang Juzheng stipulated that the third six and nine of each month go to court, and the emperor does not go to court at other times, so one to three to three, six, nine these three days, The ministers had to get up early to prepare to go to the court to meet the emperor, and since then, the phrase "369 goes up" has been circulated among the **. Don't look at the emperor as the son of heaven of a country, the power is boundless, in fact, the emperor in ancient times is really not good, everyone should have heard the phrase "courtiers leak five cold", this sentence means that the ministers have to go to the court every morning on the fifth watch, waiting to see the emperor. It shouldn't be dawn before the fifth watch, what time is it? It should be between 3 and 5 a.m. Modern people go to work, the agency is generally 8 o'clock in the morning, the shopping mall is generally 9 o'clock, the downstairs sells steamed buns, and the ancient princes and ministers have to climb out of the bed on the fourth watch, and the fifth watch days ago have to stand obediently under the court, waiting for the emperor to come to the court, it can be seen that the days of the princes and ministers at that time are not comfortable, this is not a day or two like this, but every day to get up at three or four o'clock. The ministers arrived so early, and the emperor was embarrassed to let the ministers wait too long, so the emperor basically got up at this point, and the emperor Zhang Juzheng was still a child at the time, how could a child get up so early every day, so Zhang Juzheng in order to sympathize with the emperor's child, he stipulated that he would only go to court three times a month, and it was fixed for three days. It sounds like that's the same thing, it seems that 369 is really related to Zhang Juzheng, in fact, this is just folklore, and I tell you that this legend is inaccurate, the real source of 369 is the Book of Changes, much earlier than Zhang Juzheng's era, we can also understand from the meaning behind this sentence, 369 is a good development trend. This good development trend is contained in the three numbers of three, six and nine.
February** dynamic incentive plan three this number used to talk about the origin of "things but three" when I talked about it, at that time I mentioned the concept of the number of students and the number of numbers, I don't know if you still have an impression, such as one, two, three, four, five for the number of students, six or seven ** ten for the number. Numbers evolve from numbers, and here we can understand the word number as the meaning of generation. We can understand the word "number" as the meaning of bearing. That is to say, the number of birth is the number that existed before the number of numbers, or the number that existed before the invention of numbers, or it can be said that it is a number that exists a lot. The five numbers of one, two, three, four, and five belong to the innate number in the Book of Changes, and the number of six, seven, and ten is the number of the day after tomorrow, and all the acquired numbers are evolved from the innate number one, two, three, four, and five, we can simply understand it in this way, for example, now we are born with the two numbers of one and five, and then the addition of one and five has evolved into the acquired number of six.
The reason why I Ching has a congenital number and an acquired number is mainly due to the Yin and Yang Five Elements system of I Ching. I'm going to use a relatively simple way to explain to you how the number of students evolves into numbers. The ancients corresponded to the five numbers of gold, wood, water, fire and earth with gold, wood, water, fire and earth, "one is water, two is fire, three is wood, four is gold, and five is earth", which means that water is represented by the number one, fire is represented by the number two, wood is represented by the number three, gold is represented by the number four, and earth is represented by the number five, which has five elements corresponding to the five numbers of one, two, three, four, and five, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are innate. It is the innate income of any living organism, so one, two, three, four, five belong to the congenital number of births, and there is no need to invent and create, such as people have five organs, five fingers, five senses, etc., which are all innate.
The number of six or seven ** ten is evolved from the number of births, this is also easy to understand, I use the vitality of traditional Chinese medicine to explain to you, the vitality in our human body is divided into innate qi and acquired qi, children need to supplement the acquired qi since the moment of birth in order to grow up to become a talent, the innate qi in the human body also has the characteristics of the five elements, and the acquired vitality of the human body also has the characteristics of the five elements, here I will give you one more sentence, many friends may not understand what is the characteristics of the five elements and the relationship between the vitality and the five elements, Friends who don't understand this, you can search for the Chinese medicine column on the Himalayan platform, I said it very clearly in that column, if you talk about it here, one is not finished, and the second one is not about the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, the five elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the vitality has the five characteristics of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, or the five elements are composed of the five characteristics of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, just like people have five kinds of tempers, everyone understands it here, I will add this point, and then go back to the current program, The human body is divided into innate vitality and acquired vitality, when the acquired vitality enters the human body and merges with the innate vitality, it forms the vitality of circulation in our body, this vitality is composed of the combination of innate and acquired vitality, similar to pouring a cup of boiling water into a kettle, this kettle itself has some boiling water, and now after pouring new boiling water, the kettle is still filled with boiling water, but now the amount of boiling water has increased. We compare the original boiling water to five milliliters, and then add the boiling water combined with the previous five milliliters of boiling water, that is, six milliliters, or seven milliliters, in short, more than five milliliters, which is called a quantitative change, and the number of six or seven **ten is how it evolved from the number of births.
Three-six-nine goes up, in this sentence of the three numbers of three-six-nine, three belongs to the number of births in the Book of Changes, six and nine belong to the number, which expresses a process of quantitative change, and this quantity is the process of increasing upward, and going up means increasing upward. The whole sentence is that the quantity is developing and changing, and we are used to understanding the change process of 369 upwards as a process of development in a good direction, and the reason for this is also related to the I Ching Bagua.
We look at it from a single gossip, the eight patterns on the gossip correspond to the eight directions themselves, you can find a gossip map to see, the patterns representing the eight directions, there is a unified feature, that is, each pattern is made of three lines, the above, middle and lower are neatly arranged, the line is a short horizontal line, the broken one is called the yin line, and the one that is not broken is called the yang line, and the basic knowledge of these gossip has been talked about before. The upper, middle and lower parts of the three lines are arranged together to form a hexagram in the Bagua, and there are a total of eight such patterns in the Bagua. The reason why 369 goes up is to use three in the number of births, instead of one or two or four and five in the number of births, is related to the pattern of each hexagram in the eight trigrams, because the patterns of the eight hexagrams in the eight trigrams are only three lines, these three lines are exquisite, the top line is called the upper line, representing the meaning of the sky, the bottom line is called the next line, representing the meaning of the earth, and the middle line is called the middle line, representing the meaning of people, that is to say, each hexagram in the gossip, the three lines in his pattern represent heaven, earth and people, Heaven is above and below the earth, people are between heaven and earth, just three lines can express the relationship between heaven, earth and man completely, and there is no need for more lines to reflect this relationship, so the three in the Book of Changes have the meaning of heaven, earth and man, representing the relationship between heaven, earth and man, with the relationship between heaven, earth and man, there is the appearance of all things in heaven and earth, which is another meaning of three things. It is precisely with the operation of the qi of heaven and earth that all things develop, including the emergence of people, all three six and nine go up, and use the number of three instead of one, two, four and five, mainly to express that all changes are inseparable from the operation of heaven and earth, and the operation of heaven and earth can trigger new energy.
What is this new energy caused by the operation of heaven and earth, in the sentence of 369 going up, it is used to represent this new energy by the number six and nine, that is to say, six and nine are developed from three, six and nine are numbers, in addition to six and nine, there are seven or eight and ten three numbers, the reason why the ancients only chose to use six and nine to represent this new energy, is also related to the I Ching Bagua.
In the Book of Changes, in addition to the eight patterns that represent the eight directions, there are another sixty-four hexagrams, we call these sixty-four hexagrams a unified hexagram, that is, the difference of separation, which means that it is distinguished from the eight patterns composed of three trigrams in the eight trigrams, the reason why it is so distinguished, mainly because the sixty-four hexagrams are different from the original eight hexagrams, the original pattern is composed of three hexagrams to form a pattern, and now these sixty-four hexagrams, The pattern of each hexagram is composed of six hexagrams, and the original pattern of the combination of three hexagrams was only eight, and now the hexagram composed of six hexagrams is sixty-four.
These sixty-four hexagrams are to put it bluntly, the pattern of the original three lines is combined in pairs to form a new pattern of six hexagrams, these six hexagrams, the following three hexagrams are a hexagram, the upper three hexagrams are also a hexagram, the two hexagrams are combined to form a separate hexagram of six hexagrams, three hundred and sixty-nine go up, this six fingers are the six lines in the don't hang, these six lines represent the interconnection between all things, from one to two lines to three lines to four lines and even to six lines, each line has a correlation, From the first to the second line means that things have developed a step, and from the second line to the third line means that things have developed again, and each step of development must follow the laws of heaven and earth. Therefore, the six in the middle of the three-six-nine upward direction indicates the order of development. And three, six, nine, on behalf of the highest limit, the Book of Changes speaks of things must be reversed, six or seven ** ten of the five numbers, ten has reached the extreme, has come to an end, according to the law of the Book of Changes, the next must be the opposite side of the development, so to keep the development in a good direction, with ten can not be expressed, with eight to express is not good, eight above there is still space, eight above there are nine, so eight than nine, there is a lack of meaning, so only nine is the most suitable, nine is just no more, no less, If it reaches ten, it will pass, so we have an idiom called the ninety-five supreme, the emperor in ancient times used the ninety-five supreme to describe his imperial power can not be replaced, if it is higher than nine, with ten to express, in the I Ching thing must be reversed thinking, this imperial power is likely to be exhausted, if it is expressed by eight, this imperial power and feel insufficient, the world will not be convinced, can not deter the world, so nine is the best number, neither but not a lot.
Today, everyone thinks that 369 is a good development trend, because the three numbers 369 have a special meaning in the Book of Changes, which not only represents a positive trend of development, but also reflects that this development trend is carried out according to the law of heaven and earth, which is the right way.
