The blind sect is due to the fact that Patriarch Zhang Shibao compiled the essence of hundreds of traditional schools and compiled it into oral formulas and spread them in the hands of blind people. The blind sect's Yi Lin supplement was written by Mr. Zhang Shibao, a crowned sorcerer from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. He was blind since he was a child. He learned Yi since he was a child. He is blind in both eyes and clear in mind. He has spiritual acupoints. He makes a wide range of articles and collects all things in groups. He collects them both thick and thin, and divides them into 145 items, down to the craftsmanship of a hundred craftsmen. , ranging from war affairs in the court and field, to detailed financial and trivial matters, to official promotions, it points directly to the key points of divination, and explains the matters of divination in detail, one by one, so that later scholars can intuitively understand it. This book has been lost among the people. , it has been more than 300 years, and no work has been seen. It has been kept secret and unknown. It is recommended to friends of Yi. It can test the heart of heaven and enlighten the world. The skills of blind people need to make a living. Their skills are exquisite and can be used in actual combat. Rich, I believe it is difficult for most scholastic schools to match. Due to historical reasons, the development context of the six lines cannot be studied today. To respect the master, we call it the blind sect. The blind sect has a systematic way of grasping the hexagram theory. The hexagram palace, five elements, branches, positions, six gods, and six relatives are pushed to the extreme.
The essence of hexagrams is to express human affairs phenomena and outline the entire trajectory of events. Therefore, researching and learning the blind sect is an endless process. Since the blind sect did not leave any words, we need to create some conceptual words to study and excavate them. Essence, of course there are some formulas that are very effective. However, blind people do not use formulas to tell fortunes rigidly, but use them flexibly under certain conditions, so we don’t want to be rigid in formulas. When the blind sect reaches its peak, we will call it the main method. Today, there are two major schools, the Academic School and the Jianghu School, which are as clear as day and night. The theories and methods of the Academic School are discussed in detail in countless ancient and modern Chinese and foreign hexagram studies. However, these discussions are all similar. Copying each other. In terms of its practical value, it is not very high. It can be said that it is still a truly practical and excellent work. This does not rule out historical reasons, and there are also certain human factors. Internally, for various objective and historical reasons, the theories and methods of the Jianghu School have always been controlled by a very small number of people among the people. Due to the secretive way in which they were transmitted, they have only been passed down orally between masters and disciples. ,. And because those who master this theory and method have an extremely strict concept of selecting disciples, they have very limited disciples in their lives, and only one person can truly inherit it. It is precisely because of this unique method of transmission that it makes it more popular. It has a mysterious color, and ordinary people can only see the magic of its practical application, but cannot get a glimpse of its true face. Compared with the academic school, the theories and methods of the Jianghu school are more operable and practical.
