"Zhou Yi" has enjoyed the supreme glory of "the source of the first avenue of the group classics" since ancient times, and has aroused the strong interest of countless Chinese people; And because it is ancient and difficult to understand, it is often called the Book of Heaven, and many people have no beginning and end and give up halfway because of fear of difficulties. Professor Zhang Hong's new book "Zhou Yi's Super Strong Memory Method" published by Kyushu Publishing House has reconciled this contradiction well. The book proposes that memory is the best help to understand the book "Zhou Yi".
In order to facilitate the effective use of this book by the readers, the author is in:FrontispieceFirst, a "guide" was made to the whole book, introducing the basic knowledge of "Zhou Yi", super memory method and memory method coding. SubjectThe part is composed of volumes 1 to 11, each volume first provides concise annotations and complete vernacular literal translations of the hexagram scriptures of the Zhou Yi, and then uses (or develops) 21 super memory methods to make a comprehensive mnemonic for the transmission of the hexagrams of the Zhou Yi. CaprieuchIt lists the mnemonics of the 64 hexagram prologue, the mnemonic song of the 8 palace hexagram preface, the 64 hexagram prologue and the 12 message hexagrams, which are newly compiled by the author of this book, and shows the super power of the memory method introduced in this book in the mnemonic "Zhou Yi" heavenly book.
The main part of this book is first translated and annotated and then mnemonic, which is arranged according to the memory law of the super memory method. According to the results of related brain science research, the human brain will produce an instinctive resistance mechanism after maintaining a short period of curiosity or experimentation with things that are unfamiliar and incomprehensible to itself. In order for the reader's curiosity or attempt to read and memorize the Zhou Yi scriptures to continue, it is necessary to help the reader understand it. Reading the original text against the translation notes is of great help to understand the difficult Middle and Middle Classical Chinese. Understanding, on the other hand, helps to stimulate our interest in learning consistently. However, for such a heavenly book as "Zhou Yi", it is impossible for beginners to fully understand it all at once, and at first they can only have a preliminary understanding of the gist of the scriptures.
The annotations of this book contain the author's in-depth thoughts and insights from the repeated study of Zhou Yi and its related works for more than ten years, and find an interpretation closer to the original intention by restoring the original state or logical deduction on the basis of searching for documents from various sources.
For example, the hexagram "Peeling" on the hexagram "The villain peels off the house, and it will not be available in the end", and most of the commentators translate it as: The villain peels off the house, and it cannot be used after all. Literally, such a translation seems fine. But on closer consideration, this translation is far from the original intention of the master and the little elephant. The original translation would be: The villain peels off the house, and the villain cannot be used after all. There seems to be little difference between the two translations, the latter being only four more words in parentheses than the former. However, the addition of these four words in the latter makes the meaning of the two translations very different. In the Middle and Ancient Periods before the pre-Qin period, compared with the gentleman, the villain referred to the ordinary people, and was the basic force of social labor production at that time. Without villains, all the labor of material production will be unattended, and the family, society, and country will not be able to continue. Based on this, it can be inferred that the above-mentioned translation of "villains cannot be used after all" is inconsistent with the original intention; The true meaning of Master's words is not that villains are not used, but that villains are not allowed to be used in the highest position.
For another example, the hexagram 63 of the "Division" is "the teacher or the corpse, fierce", and the Confucianism has two interpretations: one is to train "public opinion" for "public", and to train "corpse" for "host", which means "when the division fights, sometimes the people preside over (or take charge) the military power, and they are fierce." "Second training" is "car", and training "corpse" is "dead corpse", which means "sometimes after leaving the division, the corpse is returned, and it is fierce." Most of today's Yi scholars have adopted the latter commentary. According to the context semantics of the hexagram and the law of marching and fighting, the author deduces that the main discussion of the division is the command of the division to fight, the first discussion of the state should be in line with morality, the general should be strict in governing the army, the second is that the general should adhere to the middle way in the army, and the grace and power should be used together, and the third is that the command of the army should be specialized.
1. It shall not be dispersed, and this is the commandment of the sage to "order out of one" in the army; It is more likely that it is inferred that the original intent of Zhou Gongyao's speech is that military power should be dedicated and cannot be dispersed.
For another example, the hexagram on the "Division" hexagram "Don't use the villain, it will be chaotic." Through the contextual semantics and logical deduction, the translation that conforms to the original intention of the master should be: When the first reward is given after the victory of the war, if the villain does not receive the corresponding reward, he will definitely be resentful and cause trouble to the country. However, most of today's Yixue scholars have followed Kong Yingda's "If you use villains, you will mess with the country" in the Tang Dynasty. Translating "do not use" into "if you use" is completely contrary to the original intention of the baby elephant.
Memorizing the scriptures of the "Zhou Yi" can help us better understand and read the heavenly book "Zhou Yi". Because the book "Zhou Yi" is too difficult, it is difficult for us to fully understand the profound truth contained in it in a short period of time, so we can only store it in the brain first "without seeking to understand", let it slowly ferment in the brain, and let the brain have a subconscious and a conditioned reflex to it; As we enrich our life experiences and read more about them, we will gradually deepen our understanding and gradually gain more insights.
The hexagram of Zhou Yi is written in highly abstract Middle and Middle Chinese texts, which are obscure and difficult to memorize. In order to overcome this memory difficulty, the author of this book transfers and applies the principle of super memory method to the practice of memorizing hexagrams and symbols in Zhouyi, and innovates several specific Zhouyi special memory methods according to the linguistic characteristics of hexagram symbols in Zhouyi. In addition to the five basic methods of homophony, pictogram, related association (huiyi), addition and subtraction inverted characters and definition, this book also uses sixteen methods such as the memory palace method, the method of fixing the pile of all things, the method of fixing the position of the pile, the method of number coding hook and the story method, such as:
In the mnemonic of the first hexagram of Zhou Yi, "Qiangua: Yi Ci", the book breaks down the words into five sentences, which are linked to five items, such as a mineral water bucket, a television, a refrigerator, a dining table, and a sofa, in a room that is used as a place pileMemory Palace Law, so that the boring flat text and the three-dimensional five familiar objects establish a strong connection, so that it has a clear sense of picture, so as to solve the memory problem of this obscure and difficult to understand the words.
In the second hexagram "Kun Hexagram Hexagram" mnemonic, the five parts of the horse's head, including the mouth, nose, eyes, ears and neck, are used as stakes, which are respectively linked to the five hexagrams; In the "Kun Hexagram and Little Elephant Words" mnemonic, the seven parts of the horse's body, including the horse's feet, legs, belly, tail, horse's back, horse's neck, and horse's head, are used as stakes, which are respectively linked to the small elephant words of the six lines of the Kun hexagram and the small elephant words with the six broken wordsThe method of fixing the pile of all things, which solves the memory problem of the hexagram and the little elephant word.
In the mnemonic phrase of the 14th hexagram "Dayou Hexagram and Little Elephant Words", the six positions of the hexagram are used as the hook of memory fixation, and the corresponding six hexagrams are connected and usedHook method, which gives an effective mnemonic to the hexagram's epigram and small elephant words.
In the 23rd hexagram "Stripping the Hexagram and the Little Elephant Ci", the author made up a fable: a group of mice in the forest, who are often bullied by the big wild cat, take revenge on the big wild cat by biting the big wild cat's comfortable and beautiful bed. Using the story method, the hexagram is difficult to remember and the little elephant is interpreted into a vivid and interesting fable full of plot and picture sense.
In the second hexagram "Kun Hexagram - Hexagram - Words" mnemonic, the third hexagram "Tun Hexagram - Hexagram" mneon used paraphrasing associative thinking, the fourth hexagram "Menggua Hexagram" mneon used the title setting method, the seventh hexagram "Shi Hexagram - Hexagram" mneon used the daydream method, the sixteenth hexagram "Yu Hexagram - Elephant Words" mnemonic used the crossing method, the nineteenth hexagram "Lin Hexagram - Yi Ci" mnemonic used hexagram interpretation method, the twenty-second hexagram "Ben Hexagram" hexagram hexagram mnem used the formula method, and so on.
The memory methods used or developed in this book have three major characteristics: first, a rich sense of picture or three-dimensionality; second, it has a witty storyline or situation; The third is to have a clear logical structure or hierarchy. In addition, the author also invited Mr. Liu Kai, a famous industrial designer in South China, to draw simple and exquisite illustrations for the meaning and connotation of each hexagram in "Zhou Yi". The translation notes and mnemonics of this book are integrated, and the memory method used or developed is highly targeted, in line with the laws of human brain memory, and transforms the original ancient and abstract "Zhou Yi" hexagram into vivid and vivid memory content, which can help readers quickly remember the "Zhou Yi" hexagram and symbol, and improve the accuracy and durability of memory, so as to achieve the long-cherished wish of reading "Zhou Yi", and through the perception and application of the broad and profound meaning of "Zhou Yi", so that our career and life road are getting wider and wider.
