There were three Yis in ancient times. "Book of Rites of the Zhou Dynasty" says: "The method of the three Yis of Taibuzhang is: the first is the Lianshan Yi, the second is the Guizang Yi, and the third is the Zhou Yi. There are eight hexagrams in the scriptures, and there are also eight different hexagrams. Four out of sixty. "Among them, the Lianshan Yi and the Gui Zang Yi have been rarely recorded in classics over the past two thousand years, and the academic community has almost concluded that they have been lost. These two changes have also become an eternal mystery in the field of Chinese culture.
For this reason, later generations of scholars have different opinions on the study of the two Yis, and many of them are wrong or taken for granted. As scholars have always believed, the Lianshan Yi begins with the hexagram Gen, which is like a continuous mountain, so it is named Lianshan Yi (Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "The Lianshan Yi is like the clouds coming out of the mountain, and it is an endless chain. Those who return to Tibet, all things will be included in it.") .Zhou Yi, who spoke of Yi Dao, was prepared for everything.") A prediction book written in aquatic characters recently discovered in Guizhou is believed by some to be the Lianshan Yi. As for the difference between the three Yis, it is generally believed that "the Lianshan Yi and the Guizang Yi use seven or eight to change the "Zhan", while the "Zhou Yi" uses nine or six to change the Zhan. Research on Three Changes"). Views such as this are specious. In fact, the Lianshan Yi and Gui Zang Yi were not lost, and the names, origins, and applications of these two Yi are not what scholars have said in the past. These two Yis, due to the natural time, its unique calculation system and precise application effects, have appeared under the names of "Diamond Sutra", "Xiantian Yi", "Dacheng Gua" and other names to avoid secular interference. These two changes have been passed down among the masters for two thousand years, so that they will not be drowned. In this prosperous age, in order to inherit Chinese civilization, protect this "national treasure" level intangible cultural heritage, and also to clarify various conjectures in the academic world, my disciple Su Yuwen, Master Menzhun, has compiled the Lianshanyi into chapters for public publication. It can be said that in the development history of Lianshan Yi, this is the first time in two thousand years that the truth has been made public to the world. My master was a Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty, a native of Nanyang, Henan Province, and later went to Mount Tai to practice Taoism during the Revolution of 1911. He died at the age of 128. He passed on to me all the Lianshan Yi, Gui Zang Yi and related medical techniques passed down through the ages. According to the teacher, Lianshan Yi was passed down to Emperor Donghua, who was a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been passed down from generation to generation to this day. I have no intention of studying the origin of Lian Shanyi. Regarding the name of Lianshan Yi, it does not start with the hexagram Gen. Gen is a mountain, which is like a continuous mountain, so it is called "Lianshan Yi". In fact, Lian Shan Yi is also called "Lian San". There are three things that change the mountain: one is the objective system, the other is the time and space system, and the third is mathematical deduction. It is a very complete ancient culture. It contributes to the development and progress of all walks of life, enables people to understand what you should do and do it, and make your own contribution to society calmly. Of course, it is also a way to maintain health. The essence and earliest function of the Three Changes is divination. This is proved by the "Three Changes of Taibu Zhang" in "Zhou Li" and the large number of examples recorded in "Zuo Zhuan" and "Guoyu". At the level of divination, the meaning of "three" in Lianshan Yi is that three different time and space materials are used to determine the good or bad of something, and one of these three materials plays a crucial role in determining good or bad. The "mountain" is the backing. What are these three space-time substances? The first is Yuan Yun; the second is the Liujia value talisman; the third is the prosperity of the four seasons. The Lianshan Yi, Fuxi culture, burned books since the Qin Dynasty, removed its arithmetic concepts, and turned them into scriptures and seal scripts. It was passed to the Han Dynasty and added the five elements to create and restrain. In the Song Dynasty, the six relatives came out, making fortune-telling clear after the success. The annotation of the hanging image says: "There is no Dharma image greater than the heaven and the earth; there is no hanging image greater than the sun and the moon; there is no changing image greater than the four seasons." The Dharma image summarizes all things in the world into eight objective substances: heaven, earth, water, fire, and mountains. , Ze, Feng, and Lei are respectively: Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui. Therefore, the heaven and earth set up dangers: wind, thunder, mountains, lakes, water, and fire, which became objective concepts. The hanging image is as big as the sun and the moon, which means that the changes in time and space are very obvious, allowing you to see the changing time and space of things more clearly, which is called the concept of time and space. There are no greater changes than the four seasons. In addition to the changes in the four seasons, there are also mathematical concepts of them, such as the number of policies of Qian 216, the number of policies of ridges 168, the number of policies of li 192; the number of rules of qian 864, the number of ridges 672, and the number of li The regular numbers are 768 and so on, which constitute a mathematical system. In short, the Dharma image is an objective system, the suspended images of the sun and the moon are a space-time system, and the image-changing ones are a mathematical system. The deduction of the above three substances is called "Lianshan Yi". In the "Book of Changes", the Five Elements are inseparable from the relationship between generation and restraint, but in the Lianshan Yi, they do not pay attention to the relationship between generation and restraint. Most of them focus on the role of objective matter and time and space in its concepts. That is to say, the objectivity and time and space are always at odds with each other. It will be difficult to play a role. If you are in an objective and suitable time and space, then there will be no obstruction. The general application of Lianshan Yi is to compare the coordinates in the Liujia value talisman with the year, month, day and time. Your coordinates change at any time. In short, the direct ratio between the Liujia value talisman and the objective concept, the deduction of the hexagrams Xing, Tomb, Jue, White Tiger, Sky Net, Sky Thief, Disease Talisman, and Injury Talisman, your chief division position is high and there is no danger, so It means that your life will be smooth, you will be promoted and make money, otherwise you will have disasters or die prematurely. In short, the Lianshan Yi is not what previous academic circles thought. It is very different from the Zhouyi, and its method of interpretation is also very different from the Bazi, Liuyao, etc. that have been circulated in the world.
