Hello, I have been looking for some good answers carefully, which may be useful to you. I think the real divination is to understand the Book of Changes first, then start classes, and then break the hexagrams and explain them! ! The first answer: first, look at the original explanation of the Book of Changes, its principle, connotation and essence. And then read the notes of the sixty-four hexagrams to understand the original intention and changes of each hexagram. Then, you can read the book A Brief Introduction to Plum Blossoms. Of course, these are available in the market, and you can also look at what you are interested in from time to time. If you are still interested after reading it, you can't teach yourself. There are many mysterious self-study, you can find a master to take. The second answer, the Book of Changes, teaches us a way to look at the development of things objectively. It has many uses and can naturally be used for fortune telling. However, since it is a calculation, there will be exceptions. When there are miscalculations, there are places where calculations are not thoughtful. In fact, everyone's life is the same, nothing more than birth and death. In fact, fortune telling is like one plus one equals two. If you suffer a little now and work harder, you will be more relaxed. If you don't work hard now, it will be more difficult in the future. If you eat too much at night, your stomach will swell and you won't sleep well. If you eat less at night, you will have a good sleep. The third answer doesn't look at the Book of Changes. Daoism is too difficult, and it's not a divination book like the Book of Changes. I recommend a book suitable for beginners, The Prediction of Zhouyi by Shao Weihua. But this book may not be available in the bookstore. I found it at the stall. If you learn classical Chinese well, you can look at the Meihua Yijing and then look back at the Yijing, which will be very clear. The fourth answer: How to learn the Book of Changes? How to learn the Book of Changes? Let me briefly introduce the learning methods of Yijing, hoping to help you learn the Yijing. Many people like the Book of Changes and want to learn it well, but when it comes to the Book of Changes, they feel awkward and difficult to understand. Some asked how to learn the Book of Changes well. I'll just talk about some experiences I've learned over the years. I hope that the vast number of book of changes enthusiasts will peel off the mystery shrouded in the book of changes as soon as possible, take fewer detours, step into the great philosophical hall of the book of changes, and carry forward this philosophical thought. If you have any good learning experience, I also hope to publish it and make progress together. The Book of Changes is actually a philosophy, a world outlook and methodology. Judging and inferring what has happened or will happen through the Book of Changes is divination. In fact, divination is just a small branch of the Book of Changes. For example, Chinese medicine, qigong, military, mathematics and many other sciences are closely related to the Book of Changes. To learn the Book of Changes well, we should change some ways of thinking. The ways we use to interpret the world now are: mathematics and physics. Mathematics, physics and chemistry are the basis of modern science and the most important way to express the relationship between things scientifically. The derivation process of this method is to use mathematical expressions, explain functions physically and reflect changes chemically, which has been repeatedly verified from the law and essence. This way is intuitive even if it is abstract. But this deductive method also has its limitations, that is, dividing things into finer and finer things, just like simplifying the whole science into a forest, then subdividing it into trees, and then subdividing it into cells, molecules, atoms and so on. So that when observing things, you can only see points, but you can't see the surface. The deductive method used in Yijing is image mathematics. Although there is only one word difference, the methods are quite different. Mainly use analogy to deduce changes. It is an inference method from point to surface, such as hand surface, to infer a person's illness, occupation, marriage, wealth and so on through a person's palm print. Another example is a key idiom, which infers that autumn is coming through a fallen leaf. Then there is Dong Zhongshu's and Shao Kangjie's theory of induction between man and nature, which deduces human affairs through the changes of astronomical phenomena and systematically observes the world. Everything in the world is derived from the eight divinatory symbols of Ganzhi, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun. However, this method also has limitations, that is, the derived things are vague. For example, in Huangdi Neijing, the epidemic diseases in the coming year can be inferred from the changes of climate, wind direction and temperature in a certain year, but it is difficult to infer the specific diseases caused by viruses. Another example: I once played an echo performance with several friends online to predict what the other person would eat. The divination obtained through time is: the fire and water become the same, and it is inferred that the other person's food is red and has a lot of water, so there are several possibilities, such as watermelon, peach, red apple, etc., which all meet the above characteristics. It is difficult to distinguish which one is specific, so we can only choose one according to the season. Although the final result is correct, we can't figure out what it is through hexagrams. Just like painting, western oil painting is mainly realistic, which can draw a person and a thing vividly, but it is difficult to see the momentum and artistic conception of painting. Chinese painting, on the other hand, pays attention to the shape rather than the spirit, just like Qi Baishi's shrimp. At first, it didn't feel like drawing eight legs, but later it became six legs without two legs, but it was alive. There is also Zhang Daqian's "A Thousand Miles of Yangtze River Map", which describes the momentum and artistic conception of the Yangtze River on one page. If it is realistic through oil painting, it will be difficult to do so. In fact, we can see some differences between westerners and orientals in observing things. Westerners look at paintings in detail, while orientals look at paintings as a whole. Observing too carefully, you can't see the artistic conception of the whole painting; I saw the whole painting, but I couldn't observe the nuances of the painting. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The other is the difference in logical methods. The main ways of western logical thinking are formal logic and dialectical logic. Formal logic draws lessons from Aristotle's method, while dialectical logic draws lessons from Hegel's method. The way of thinking we learned from childhood is deeply influenced by the western way of thinking. The western way of reasoning is the reasoning form of major premise, minor premise and conclusion. For example, the ball is round and basketball is a ball, so basketball is round. However, the reasoning method of I Ching in China is classified reasoning. For example, divination is spring, orientation is east, five colors are green, five colors are sour, five elements are wood, five internal organs are liver and gallbladder, human body is hand, human body is male, and animals are dragons and snakes; Long shape, moving and so on. These have the characteristics of straightness, because spring is the season of wood growth, wood is long and green, and the hands in the human body are long. The liver and gallbladder in the human body are also green, and dragons and snakes are also long. In spring, everything starts to move, and so on. I think to learn the Book of Changes well, we must first understand his world outlook and methodology. As the ancients said, those who know its essence will end up in one word, and those who don't know its essence will spread endlessly. I hope that the vast number of Yi-ology enthusiasts can open the door to this great philosophy by understanding the world outlook and methodology of the Book of Changes. ★ Learning the Book of Changes is mainly about learning its wisdom. Today we learned two hexagrams of "Gankun", especially "Forever" and "Liu Yong" in the two hexagrams of "Gankun". What inspiration should you get? In society, among people, there are four kinds of people: (1) a person who has just left the country-this person is very strong, he insists on principles, is honest, and shows no mercy to anyone. It's the same at home and abroad. There is no room for activity and selflessness. (2) A person who is soft on the outside and hard on the inside-this kind of person has no position at any time, has no thoughts in his heart, and doesn't know what the purpose is when he is outside. He is neither much trouble nor much ado about nothing, nor is anyone looking for him. He is leisurely and idle, and he is an incompetent person. (3) A person who is firm inside and soft outside-such a person has both principles and discretion in his heart, knows well, does not say much to the outside world, does not show mountains and rivers, is enthusiastic and generous to the outside world, and does things cleanly without leaving sequelae. (4) a person who is soft inside and strong outside-this kind of person has countless hearts, but also wants to express himself in front of everyone. He can't say or do anything. He always thinks he is better than others. Which of the above four people should your life belong to? What kind of person do you think is better and you like it better? If it's not your type, what should I do? There is only one answer-learning the Book of Changes will tell you a complete way to be a man. To learn the original and vernacular versions of Zhouyi, you must read books.< Authentic Divination > I recommend people who study Zhouyi to have a look, and then you can go to zhongyizixue.com/thread-htm-fid-18.html, the Chinese Medicine Self-study Network, and have more exchanges with you.
