I still remember that when I reviewed the Course of Yin and Yang of Personality on the 20th yesterday, I got a new understanding of my personality characteristics. Although I am still confused, although some places are still confused, it seems that the closer I get to the Book of Changes, the more interesting the original confusion becomes!
What's the use of gossip last time? Briefly talking about the conversion between binary and decimal, some people have deduced 64 hexagrams.
To tell the truth, I haven't figured out what decimal means yet, and Mr. Qian Feng said it was not urgent. Even if I don't understand, these fogs will be slowly uncovered in later courses.
Maybe I learned yin and yang, but I didn't understand it. I insist on attending classes every day. I am still relatively calm. I don't understand these things, but I'm still willing to dive down and listen to the later class.
The charm of gossip lies in that from these eight simple symbols, we can infer all things, phenomena and natural things in nature and our lives …
There are two main hexagrams in the eight diagrams: Gan and Kun.
Dry divination represents heaven, while Kun divination represents earth. This is based on function, because dry divination dominates Kun divination, that is, heaven dominates the land. If it doesn't rain, it will dry underground, so the sky plays a leading role.
Dugua: There are two hexagrams below, which are true. Empty, so empty.
In nature, the top is imaginary, and the bottom is real.
The teacher said that when the Red Army crossed the grass, people would fall into the swamp from time to time. Then divination represents the swamp. The orientation of melon pile represents the west, and the west of China is Xinjiang, which used to be swamp, but now most of it is desert, so melon pile also represents sand.
Gua Pian: From the perspective of Gua Xiang, external reality, middle deficiency and middle deficiency. There are two yang hexagrams on both sides, a yin hexagram in the middle and an empty one outside.
In nature, if you light a match, it will be lit from both sides, but the middle point cannot be lit. That fire represents a departure from divination and a separation from fire. Besides fire, the ancients were also good at observing. They found that the outside of the sun is real and the middle is empty, because the sun radiates light and there is a black hole in the middle.
Therefore, separation is fire, sky and sun.
Divination: From the divination image, the bottom is real and the top is empty.
The three branches of Kun Gua are all Yin branches, and Kun represents the earth. Divination means that there is a yang below the earth, so there is a yang below the earth.
It vibrated underground, thinking that there was an earthquake. The ancients thought that this yang would come out of the ground in spring, and when it came out, it would make a thunder sound, so divination was thunder.
Of course, if the sun is the spirit below, it is an earthquake.
Xun Gua: There is a shadow under the dry Gua, which is the sky. There are virtual things under the sky, and clouds are the wind, so Xun can be a cloud or a wind.
Kangua: It's the antonym of plum melon. Cantaloupe is solid in the middle, but empty or soft on both sides.
In nature, what looks soft on the outside but is the strongest on the inside? That's water.
In a month, the moon will be cloudy and round, and there will be missing parts. Missing is not without, so it also represents the moon. Cantaloupe also represents the moon, and cantaloupe is water.
Gen Gua: From the image, there is a Yang on the top of Kun Gua, which represents the earth. There are objects on the ground, and the divination is a mountain.
Summary:
Eight phenomena: dry for the sky, change for ze, separation for fire, shock for thunder, sorrow for the wind, ridge for water, root for the mountain, and Kun for the earth.
Earthquakes are thunder, and thunder is used to inspire and shock everything; Xun is the wind, and the wind is used to blow away the circulation; The ridge is water or rain, and rain is used to moisten everything; From fire to the sun, the sun is the sun, and the sun is used to illuminate the whole world; Roots are mountains, so far, only static, stop, static. Change for joy is joy, which means that everything is in a very harmonious state of growth.
For the king, for the sky, the sky is king, overlooking everything, high above.
Kun is the soil, and the soil is at the bottom, which is used to store everything and carry everything.
The teacher explained the sixth and seventh chapters of Shuo Gua Zhuan respectively, which shows that the eight functions of gossip can infer everything.
Gossip comes from everything in the universe and is a tool to infer everything in the universe. What we are talking about through the grapevine is all fabricated, and it is all through the grapevine. Compared with ancient times, it is a waste of traditional culture. Because gossip is the creation of ancient people's inspired thinking.
Accumulate a little, although it is only a repetition of what the course says, but it is also a deeper absorption!
